I usually have to go the other way. I write an essay first and then cut ruthlessly until I have something the bare minimum length that says what I want (to say - cut for brevity).

Yeah I also have to say, the research papers I have written on the undergrad level were cut till they no longer said anything other than the exact information I wanted to impart. I had tough professors. They wouldnāt let me bullshit to reach required page length.* Henceforth and nevertheless, IDK @bfk we went to different schools
*Also, in academia, we donāt measure in words, you communist ā we measure in how long our works cited is
(I only did undergrad, skipped grad school. long story.)

Talking about the high school essays.
Also undergradā¦i used to know ppl that straight up paid for their research papers.
Did undergrad physicsā¦but the professor had their own science which was a lot different than what i was taughtā¦also he made us buy his own physics textbook that he wroteā¦thinking back it was very susā¦
Switched majors because i didnt know what i would do with a physics degree other than be an inventor like tony stark and make a living off of patentsā¦
Also getting a phd in physics was too expensive i couldnt afford itā¦if i didnt switch majorsā¦id probably be in a lot of debt and would be looking for a job.
I decided the better route was to try to get work experience and make some reasonable amount of money.
Also used to do some contracting odd jobs with a friend of mine before he moved. Along with my current gig.
My current job is just making sure that the office has office suppliesā¦and keeping track of everything in accordance to the budget im givenā¦
Its not prestiguous or excitingā¦but you cant put a price on a peice of mind also it pays enough to live off of.
Lol.

Dude I have mad respect for office managers. Good ones make it so that I donāt have to think about anything except my job, like everything else I need is just there and happens without me having to think about it. I get glimpses of how much work goes into that because I sit near our office manager when Iām in the office and she is on top of every little thing that is happening.

Lolā¦the way i do thingsā¦i try to create downtime for everyone by making sure all the work for the day gets done earlyā¦so that way everyone gets 3 hour lunch breaks and gets to hang out for the rest of the day till the work day is over.
Also i dont arbitrarily bark orders, i work alongside in the trenchesā¦even though its not part of my core responsibilitiesā¦ill occasionally help the janitor swing a mop or help someone else by troubleshooting a computer problemā¦or do other stuff like assist people
But i try to balance between helping outā¦and not getting tricked into doing somebody elses job for themā¦if you know what i meanā¦
Also there will always be ambitious bs artists looking to start troubleā¦of which i dont tolerateā¦i just call those types out on their stupidity.
I sort of wondered what life through your eyes looked like as wellā¦
No homo.
Just semi intellectual curiousity.
Also before my current gigā¦worked at a supermarket, then did a little bit of IT, after IT, i was a home health aideā¦
The home health aide was way to much stressā¦had no work life balance because there was an overlap and not enough timeā¦then got my current gigā¦
Current gig it took me while to get to a place where i want to beā¦was stressful in the beginning but things changed for the betterā¦soā¦it sort of worked out.

Huh
Multiplying a ramp wave with a sine wave creates a saw wave of varying
saw-y-ness depending on the slope of the ramp wave.
But a saw wave is just far too many sine waves.

What happened to the golden days of ambient DnB where it was ACTUALLY ambient DnB?

Politics has become an exercise like psychological masturbationā¦
Hence why everyoneā¦doesnt stfu about it.
I can say stuff too and lets see who wins the dick measuring contestā¦
I get a lot of political crap on ig suggested to me its mostly just ppl expressing their truthiness.
Bro I can get screenshotsā¦
Just venting.
Also saying stuff through the veil of anonymity is cowardice.

COOL! It would seem Iām fascinated by architecture, a few niche art styles, moviemaking, and lowkey fashion.
Youtube on the other hand, is utterly convinced I want to meet the ukrainian/colombian/vietnamese woman of my dreams and settle down. And yes it is exactly those three and it is that specific.

I think I can say that I am the biggest fan of electronic music history.
