I think anyone at the point of learning those subjects would just call them by their name. From my experience, “advanced calculus” usually refers to introduction to real analisys courses like Spivak or even Baby Rudin. It seems nowadays it’s being used to refer to multivariate and DEs, which I guess makes a little more sense but it still bothers me.

Do you shower in a handstand?
- Comment on Haha that's really cool, funny number man 2 weeks ago:
Nothing. It’s a meaningless term. Some people use it to say “hard calculus” (multivariate, pdes, etc) and I suspect that’s how it’s being used here but, historically, it has mostly been used to refer to the introduction to real analysis courses found in books spike Spivak and Apostol.
- Comment on Haha that's really cool, funny number man 2 weeks ago:
I’m officially triggered. There’s no such thing as “advanced calculus”. Yes, I’m aware of Loomis and Sternberg. That book was literally written to stroke the authors’ ego.

Do you even realize how hilariously pathetic you’re being right now? You legitimately, unironically and with a straight face just said “go back to reddit”. Jesuschrist, you’re such a baby.

Oh, for sure. I meant this specific example.

people that define their lives by the templates supplied by societal stereotypes
This is literally institutional misogyny.

Then why did you reply to my comment in the first place if you didn’t wanna talk to me? You don’t get to butt in with a comment and then pretend you never wanted to engage. It makes you look childish.

You quoted me challenging my comment, you were proven wrong and then decided the conversation was beneath you instead of just admitting you fucked up. Best part is that this is literally an irrelevant topic. Stop being so childish and your life will improve.

Do you always pretend you don’t wanna take part in conversations you started after realising you’re wrong?

You could have just asked and then you wouldn’t have to go hide behind a transparent facade.

Seems like you just proved my point.

Let’s assume it’s real. Do you identify yourself with any of your past lives?

Even if reincarnation is real, it really wouldn’t be you living as a cockcroach.

“Overweight people are unhealthy”. Is that racist?
- Comment on Why do you hate AI? 1 month ago:
Your statement was predicated on something you misunderstood. Hence the question: What do you think racism is?

Reading comprehension is hard, I know.

Stereotypes are not racism.

As always, you don’t hate X, you hate capitalism. Replace X with almost anything.

Reverse-racism is not a thing.

you belonged to a marginalised group
Oh, shit. I left out hugely important context. This happened in Mexico so it’s probably neither of those.
- Comment on Squad Goals 2 months ago:
Twice I got my face plastered on the flyers of a conference because none of the other speakers looked Mexican enough. I still don’t know if should have been offended.
- Comment on steam vs gog, which game store to buy from? 2 months ago:
Depends. I’d love to say go with GOG whenever possible but they have some utter shit in their store. Like, old versions of games with bugs that were patched years ago or just plain don’t work. Dragon’s Dogma where online is completely broken comes to mind. So, I guess find out which version is the best on a game-per-game basis? I realize how much of a fucking non-answer this is and I’m sorry to have wasted your time.
- Comment on it's friend shaped! 2 months ago:
Sometimes I conjure up the delusion that having a big feline is doable if raised from birth because my little feline is such an adorable baby that she shows her belly to literally everyone she sees even when she’s never met them. But even this cute ball of fluff will dig her claws into my leg to avoid falling when she rolls over while napping on my lap. Imagine if those claws were 4 cm.

- Comment on Where's the best point to jump into modern Resident Evil? 2 months ago:
Just jump right into 7. 8 is kinda like 7 but more action oriented. Still pretty fun. Then go RE2 Remake and RE4 Remake. They’re the best in the entire series. Then play original 4 again and realize I lied to you and that one is still the best.
