  • That’s bs and also reminds me of a joke about two mathematicians at a bar:

    longish math joke

    Two mathematicians are in a bar. The first one says to the second that the average person knows very little about basic mathematics. The second one disagrees, and claims that most people can cope with a reasonable amount of math.

    The first mathematician goes off to the washroom, and in his absence the second calls over the waitress. He tells her that in a few minutes, after his friend has returned, he will call her over and ask her a question. All she has to do is answer one third x cubed.

    She repeats “one thir – dex cue”?

    He repeats “one third x cubed”.

    She says, “one thir dex cuebd”?

    Yes, that’s right, he says. So she agrees, and goes off mumbling to herself, “one thir dex cuebd…”.

    The first guy returns and the second proposes a bet to prove his point, that most people do know something about basic math. He says he will ask the blonde waitress an integral, and the first laughingly agrees. The second man calls over the waitress and asks “what is the integral of x squared?”.

    The waitress says “one third x cubed” and while walking away, turns back and says over her shoulder “plus a constant!”









  • Honestly, regardless of their education and experience, if you have this concern about a person, you should get a new roommate, assuming there’s more to your question than just a hypothetical.

    All the time, there are shitty significant others who install a keylogger or screen recorder to monitor their spouse, because they’re fucked up. A lot of the time, they don’t have any technical background, and are the equivalent of script kiddies. They do this because they’re shitty people, not because they have a degree in computer science.
