@witchfynder_finder yeah, when I learnt this I suddenly found it way easier to figure out why I was having trouble with certain tasks

@chosafine@instance.business I don't quite agree - as a listener, one of my issues is I find it very hard to distinguish between people with american accents - they all sound very very similar to me and I get confused very easily

if a podcast is well edited AND ALSO has stereo voices, it makes it so, so, so much easier for me to keep track of who's who

@Elizafox ooo, I'll go do that

@Elizafox it's important to note as well: I hecking love maths

but I hate calculus beacuse of how badly it was taught to me

@Elizafox less than a single hour was spent on limits

and the calculus class had 2 hours a week

@Elizafox oh my god this

my uni does a combined maths class of half calculus and half algebra, and I failed it 4 times because the lecturers failed to teach me basic calculus and it felt so pointless

in order to control your emotions, you need to have willpower
it took us a long time to figure out what willpower actually is, though: a lot of early hypothesises were that it's a skill, or a talent.

but repeated tests have shown that willpower is actually a limited resource that you have, and basically the only way to increase it?

is glucose

how did it get WORSE https://computerfairi.es/media/f1e-5GlH3h10_Xhdtr4
