decided to learn begin learning russian on a whim today...привет?
being cool is when you know algebraic topology and linguistic reconstruction and medieval islamic theology and the poststructuralists and quantum physics and old poetry and queer theory and chinese history and 3+ languages (real knowledge, not wikipedia shit). you can't be cool without learning all of that. but if you do, everyone will agree you're cool and you won't have to work on any of your negative personal qualities
ever since i was a little girl i knew i wanted to be a stressed adult male protagonist splashing water on his face in the bathroom
once a year i think to myself "it would be cool if i knew things about physics" and then i do nothing to act on it

russian roullette but it's just a physics student with anxiety drinking lots of coffee everyday without knowing which day will be the day their anxiety will kill them
system of mathematical notation where concatenation always means multiplication and each prime number has a unique one digit symbol. so counting to ten looks like "2, 3, 22, 5, 23, 7, 222, 33, 25". the advantages of this system would be making multiplication and division trivial, as well as accurately representing the true form and identity of every positive integer according to the fundamental theorem of arithmetic. the disadvantages to this system would be everything
