things you just dont understand

[Widin]

I just can't understand some people....

 

[ExpositoryExplosion]

For some unknown reason I cannot fucking understand geometry or trigonometry. I'm currently taking a precalculus course and fairly enjoying it as well as getting high grades in it, but I nearly bombed geometry in 8th grade and never really got trigonometry concepts in our precalc course.
Numbers = okay
Numbers w/ shapes = what is this

If it makes you feel any better I failed basic college algebra three times before I passed it on my fourth round. I don't understand math at all, haha.

I had that issue with chemistry.
Numbers and algebra = Okay
Balancing chemical equations = uhhhhhhh *drop class*

The bad part is I'm supposed to get it, since I go to a "smart people" school thing :V

I planned on potentially taking an AP Chem course next year, is your situation just an anomaly or is it common?
Don't really wanna go and take AP classes if I'm gonna bomb them. :/

I don't know... I usually passed all my exams with A's and B's without ever studying for any of them, but this I just couldn't get.

Oh! Here's an idea! Check out khanacademy.org. They have free online classes on chem, probably at all levels. That will give you a good idea of what you're getting into.

Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out sometime.

I can't do algebra but I can chemistry.

Fuck is this nonsense?

When one nostril clears up then the other clogs up, then does that over and over.

Holy shit.
This is my life story right here.
Nothing else.
Just endless, single-nostril suffering.

Why are we still going on about this? Alright I get it, Iron Maiden is a heavy metal band. Who gives a shit anymore? It wasn't that big of a deal in the first place.

Yes, Maiden is/was a Heavy Metal band, and I even consider them one of the first bands to push forth the "Power Metal" sub-genre, but to argue in defense of the assertion, they did cut their chops playing punk clubs at the height of the punk movement in the UK, listening to the first two albums, before Bruce Dickinson came into the band, and the punk aspect is definitely noticeable.

But Slayer, they would not be who they are without a heavy punk influence. It was Jeff and Dave's love of punk that pushed Slayer to play faster and louder, and to say the least, Punk and Metal are very close on the musical family tree, and without punk there never would have been much of a thrash metal community, so bands like Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, and definitely Anthrax may well have never existed, as all of these bands are made up of punk fans who cite a heavy punk influence .

Sorry, my metal nerditude is showing :X

My ears do the same thing in shitty weather.
So.
Fucking.
Annoying.

Do people with dyslexia have a hard time doing the YMCA?

Chemistry algebra is usually a bit simpler? You don't get exponential functions of chlorine in a straight forward 'reactants to products' chemical reaction.

I guess some people might find chemistry more difficult because it is necessary to remember what each chemical species' behaviour is.

Not until you get into equilibria and reaction rates, anyways.

Twitter. I need to learn how the Twitter thing works though since social networking is a huge part of our lives now and if I want to make video games people will expect me to do the tweets and respond to tweets and oh God I don't understand any of it.

It makes me feel old.

People who likes math. Or the ones that dosen't hate it. Or the ones that hates it less than me.

How to properly start a conversation. I just have no clue how to do it unless it's someone I already know.

Meh, I just nonchalantly insert myself into an existing one that doesn't seem too private.

I'll never understand human behavior, neither my own nor anyone else's. The most intelligence quotient requiring sciences pale in comparison to the study of the human mind. The universe becomes infinitely simple when compared to human behavior, which defies any attempts of logical explanation.

I don't understand why poeple don't turn off their phones when they go to sleep. (Unless they are waiting for an important call or something.)
And then they complain about a message or call waking them up.

Turn my phone off? Thats gotta be some kind of blasphemy.

 

[sniperfreak223]

people will just look for any reason to complain...and besides, modern society cannot function with their cell phones turned off, you all should know that by now.
