is this what academics is all about? get credit for something you claim you did but all your work resolves around concealing it behind a curtain of artificial complexity?

Actually it was 4 agencies, and they claimed that russia meddled in the US election, not that trump colluded with russia. there's no way a real person made this...right?

ah, yes, the wonders of modern academia. Professors so scared to fail someone for some reason that you get literal retards get a diploma just because they got themselves into enough debt

I have an assignment to do on linear regression. Have to extract the data, make some analysis based on it, plot it, all of that stuff.

Problem is, I have no fucking clue of what subject should I choose. I have to make the sample (probably with a google formulary or something like that), so I can't just grab some data from the internet from any given random subject and do the analysis. Any ideas of something more or less doable here? I only came up with very simple, dull and dumb things like the correlation between hours studied and your notes but that's so fucking obvious. It's just that I have no idea of what could I ask to random college students. The subject can be anything I suppose, but it shouldn't be too polemic and it should allow me to fit a linear regression

I withdrew from Fall 2020 college semester because I want to get really good at Physics + Computer science for when I return in the Spring, I want to minor in either with a BA at least.

I have 5 months to myself until then, what should I learn? Where can I learn the necessary content to jump right in? College freshman here.

Prove that if [math]n[/math] is a positive integer, [math]\log_{7} n[/math] is either an integer or irrational.

All the proofs I've seen online start from the assumption that [math]\log_{7} n = \frac{a}{b}[/math], i.e. [math]\log_{7} n [/math] is rational, which is neither an integer or irrational, and then they don't prove the contrapositive.

make maths and engineering not based on merit but feels
cite more diverse authors even when its nonsense

What's the fucking point? I don't even enjoy what I'm studying. Physics is fucking stupid and gay, I get pleasure out of stressing my midwit brain to find answers. I'm just gonna drop out and go live in the woods and read Dostoyevsky and Tolstoy the rest of my life.

>no real interest in what I'm studying, literally feel dead inside and clinically depressed, in my own head all the time, too weird for authentic relationships where I "be myself", put on different personas around different people from years of reading self help books and social psychology, learned how to be likeable and ingratiate myself with different groups of people through sales jobs and "fake it till you make it!", people have actually called me charming and charismatic, say I have a beautiful smile. I feel like such a fraud

Scientifically speaking what are some ways to fall asleep quickly?

Sleeping is a big problem for me, it can take hours for me to fall asleep and I've come to dread sleeping. Tonight it likely took me an hour or longer to fall asleep, and I was in bed for 13 hrs. I feel terrible no matter how much I sleep.

>wooopdeedoo hey guys i have a iq of 140 but im also homelesss and riddled with aids, is this the curse of being high IQ? Maybe if i was low IQ id be able to function as a regular member of society, what a curse it is to have a high IQ.

I feel a periodic stinging pain in my upper left chest but can't quite place its location with 100% certainty. It happens most commonly when I am tired. I got checked for heart problems and been told I'm fine. I don't feel fine.
If any Anons have an idea what could be causing this please tell.

ive went through primary/middle/high school without the need of studying stuff, always getting good grades, but now its the time of my final exams and my parents are literally forcing me to study, but i dont fucking care about studies, as i have no passions and no one to live for. how do i sit at least 1 hour a day with that fucking book and do shit, is this even possible?
