#Learning physics

[aligustie]

This lady seems awesome! I love seeing kids so enthusiastic at a lesson, and a teacher who knows that making learning a fun experience helps everyone.

God I want to learn physics so bad but it’s so hard because while I’m learning the concepts and the meanings of things, I still don’t know how to think of it myself. I understand the words and what they mean but if you ask me to figure out a problem in quantum mechanics or particle physics, then I’m lost.

Hello neurodivergent people. I was wondering if I'm just weird or it is common to not being able to learn certain motoric skills at the same time as my peers and learned them MUCH later

I kinda want to go on a rant about polysemes because I am Extremely Passionate about them and the fact that they aren't part of our school's curriculum is messed up, actually. It's an extremely useful concept that most people are already aware of, even if they don't have the word for it

A polysemous word is a word with related yet Distinct definitions. Each different use of the word (or each definition) is a polyseme.

It's extremely useful for things like politics, communicating between fields, and how I used to use it, TAing in physics classes

For example, if I say "the car accelerated":

The common, everyday way to interpret that is "the car increased speed".

The physics way is "the car changed its speed or direction".

Kids would understandably get really frustrated when profs told them "that's not what acceleration is" and "there's no such thing as deceleration".

Because in physics that's true. However colloquially speaking, their original definition of acceleration is still a correct definition! It's just a different context, so a different polyseme is needed!

Telling students that they need to treat these familiar words as completely new vocabulary seemed to help the most. Acknowledging that their definition of the word is a correct definition, but not what we need to use in this context, helped with a lot of frustration

Basically: no one definition is the end all be all for a polysemous word. Each definition is fine! Just switch up the polyseme for the context!!!

so my younger cousin is flying in to visit from brazil on sunday, and will be staying here for like, the entirety of july. which, don't get me wrong, is super cool! i love the kid! but it felt like a super weird move, considering his parents are the SUPER strict and borderline helicopter parents. even the smallest prank/roughousing with him/his little sister would lead to a strict talking to from his parents, he couldn't ever do anything without their clear permission, that sort of stuff. so letting him fly at alone at 16 to a whole different country and stay there for a whole month seemed WILDLY out of character. additionally, it just felt like a super last-minute trip. it's not like we have any plans to do when he gets here, and the flight itself and stuff only got booked like, midway through june.

and i was talking to my mom about it, kind of trying to nudge some answers out of her, and after a while she went, "yeah, i think they're sending him over here to get away for his boyfriend. see if the distance breaks them off." which, first of all, surprised me because last i checked, they didn't KNOW he had a boyfriend. literally everyone in the family did EXCEPT for them because while that entire side of the family being semi-conservative, his parents (mostly his dad) are EXTREMELY old-fashioned. so clearly something already went wrong. and considering the only reason the rest of the family knew is because one person found out and it spread like wildfire, i have a sneaking suspicion he wasn't the one to tell them, either.

and second of all. they're sending him HERE. to try to make him forget his homosexuality. i couldn't do anything but just wordlessly gesture to the multiple pride flags scattered around my room, then to myself, because really? he has like two other cousins in the us and they're sending him to me? honey i am about to introduce this kid to queer scenes you have never even heard of. he'll be returning home with labels only shrimp can perceive

Okay be honest, because I feel really dumb right now:

Not Just Friends - M.List -

Childhood best friends turned into something more, at least with the label. Katsuki Bakugo, a fast-rising hero and fast-learning guy who is ever so slow in getting attached to and loving someone. Even three long years into a relationship, and your friends even forget you're even dating. Nothing happening, spare a few kisses.. like 3 kisses, during high school. Graduated and living together, and you guys have done absolutely nothing to further the relationship. Are you sure you're not just friends? CW: Smut, brief domestic violence discussion, virginity loss, aggressive flirting from creeps, gore with pro hero stuff (lmk if i missed any) Applies to all chapters regardless of it is in said chapter.

[whump-in-the-closet]

characters who’s identity revolves around their purpose, defined by something or someone else. By the prophecies, by their service; the lapdog, the weapon, the chosen one. And then there’s a moment of softness, a complete breach and utterly human— they cradle their head in their hands, they bend to pick up a cat and hold it tight, they slump against someone’s shoulder, completely trusting for the first time

thank you that’s it. exits stage and screams.

During the post dark cream arc where Cross was pregnant with Aim, is it possible for Aim to mive and kick while in the soul…? And if so is it painful for Cross+

can't lie Dazai would've lost me after "you're at the airport" like pause can i get some lined paper so i can take some notes at least. "intersecting orthogonally" "sound attenuates rapidly in proportion to the cube of distance instead of the square" i just witnessed several ppl die and i'm 0.3 seconds from crashing out why are u using big words and throwing equations at me

i find it so unfair that i cant do all the science. like what do you MEAN I can't study bio and chem and biochem and atrophysics and physics and geology and climate science. what do you MEAN i have a limited lifespan and need to get out of school at some point to get a job. i want to collect the science fields like pokemon, this isn't fair
