Reminder that anons lie all the time. No, you will not get a job without a degree, nor will you get a job with a degree and no inside man, move to the trades or make a gather funding for a startup.

>>346 I'd boil it down to "no you won't get a job", which is a fairly truthful statement these days. But maybe somebody's lucky and wins the roulette.

>>346 I got mine with an unrelated degree and that's not a lie. Degrees help but they are not guarantees. Technical employers understand this especially in the software industry, usually only HR will judge you based solely on what looks good or not to them.

>>346 It's possible, but you need to get lucky. I got scouted out on LinkedIn by a recruiter for a medior Linux sysadmin/devops job without a degree or any prior experience, so it's definitely possible. I may have just gotten extremely, extremely lucky.

fuck everyone's lucky! put the comma wherever you wish!!!!!!!!

>>332 recently, i have been reading books particularly on religion, philosophy, and political theory. i haven't delved much into these topics, so i don't really have any comments to make, but i'm doing so because i realized i don't really have well thought out opinions on the world and the people in it. so i suppose you could say i'm reading these topics as a means of self exploration and personal/ideological development. currently, i'm reading "The Sayings of the Desert Fathers", a collection of sayings from Christian monks around the 4th to 6th century. i'm a recent Orthodox convert (unbaptized) and it was recommended to me by the Father at my Church. the other book i have been reading is "Fascism, The Total Society" by H.R Morgan, a curated collection of quotes and ideas by different Fascist writers with commentary by Morgan. i'm not exactly a Fascist myself, but i plan on reading all kinds of politically extreme literature from across the political landscape. i suppose i have an interest in the ways one can view the world that would be considered "extreme" by the status quo.

these are my next reads. For My Legionaries is a somewhat longer book at 485 pages so i'm gonna read some Lovecraft alongside it when i need a break.

learning Japanese vocabulary is the worst part of learning any language.

>>301 Specially when the vocabulary has nothing to do with your mother language

>>114 Yes, I know English.

>>325 Do you really?

English is my second language. Learned Japanese last year for 1 month, probably reaching a level slightly under N5 level. Had to stop due to uni entrance exams, now I`m majoring at Philosophy and want to return to nihongo, though I'll probably learn Deutsch語 since it's fits better for my context and seems cooler than Furansu語. >>158 Your writing is comprehensive so you're doing quite well, in my humble opinion. I'm curious though, what are the other languages you know? (Btw, are you still here, hikarin?)

>>173 Depends on what part of US history you're looking to study. Our Nation's Archive: The History of the United States in Documents is a pretty good one if you're looking for something deeper than just a high school textbook. https://www.amazon.com/Our-Nations-Archive-History-Documents/dp/1579120679

>>173 A People's History of the US by Howard Zinn is a good overview. Like all books that give an overview its pretty flawed, glosses over certain areas, and a bit reductive but it needs to be to cover the entire history. There is a populist bias to it, Zinn was a disillusioned WW2 bomber pilot who joined the anti-Vietnam war movement, but overall the book is fair. It will give you a good overview of the timeline but remember it glosses over the details. If you want to understand specific issues or time periods, you'll have to read books dedicated to them.

i'm a donator to Anna's Archive. if anybody is looking for books/textbooks/scientific papers and don't want to deal with the slow/unstable downloads give me the ISBN and i will have you covered.

>>330 hi math-anon. do you have any book recs for real variables that aren't rudin? it's extremely terse and dry and doesn't really motivate much it covers so i want to supplement it i was thinking of going through apostol or abbot but neither seem to cover lebesgue theory or multivariable functions as far as i know

>>22 Never knew this before: A group of flamingos is called "flamboyance"

>>107 beautiful name, flamboyance :surprise:

Plate tectonics wasn't an accepted idea until the 60s-70s because people were dumber then

>>22 imageboard boards culture's. It's a wonderful learning experience filled with good effort.

Hello /aca/rin~ I'm gonna try fileshelter software once I get back home today!

yeah, i pretty much changed my mind about deleting it. i'll keep it (but delisted for now)

>>312 Nice, hopefully the spam ends and we get more users.

>>312 Thanks. This is a neat little board.

This board is like Mathchan except it's just one board instead of an entire site.

>>277 I wish we knew more about pre-indo european europe

>>278 same. I'm obssesed what language albanians were talking before indo-europeans givong their language to albanians tribes

>>270 Yup, probably I would do the same. Honestly, a lot of people see it as wrong and a bad way of living, but if you already have money, a own house, and comfort... There is nothing wrong on it. Of course I wouldn't be a hikikomori. I would do exercises and go to a café or something. I'm already very used to being alone, but sometimes I imagine having a GF. The problem is that NEET girls are pure psyops

I would study applied metaphysics aka magic been reading the traditionalist school guenon, schuon, coomaraswamy, evola and evola's books on magic seem pretty cool, buddhist magic also seems pretty cool

>>302 Buddhist magic?

>>302 >I would study applied metaphysics aka magic You know it takes alot of beleif and faith for atheism when all new atheists do even on imageboard boards is regurgitate what their group or favorite atheist says.

>>268 >what would you dedicate your life to studying? why does it fascinate you? Difficult question for me. I believe I'd like to just study anything like philosophy, mathematics, religion and new atheism (even if it's shallow minded anyways) ect. It would just be fun to play video games I suppose and programming if money wasn't a problem or really any academic field.

Syrno wants to keep the userbase ignorant.

>>307 we're 2 kool 4 school!

>>306 wait why it was removed?

>>309 Read the latest news post

>>209 Not OP, but I just recently resumed learning japanese again

>>259 Good luck! How's it going for you so far? I would like to know your methods of learning

My only advice is you either commit fully or don't. The main problem with starting and stopping a commitment like learning a language is until you reach a certain point it's not equivalent to riding a bike, and the time it gets to riding a bike is when you are at 5 years in. When you stop and start again you lose skill and will take a while to get back in the eb and flow of learning; this is the exact reason people can take a Secondary Language Class for a year or 2 yet a few years later only remember snippets. I do wish you luck if you try to

>>265 For now, just learning more kanji and vocabulary words and reviewing the ones I know Currently, I don't have much time for applying myself studying, but I want to start organizing my notes and study by the book My goal is to achieve JLPT N3 next year

solution make sentence cards: https://arbyste.github.io/jp-mining-note-prerelease/ Most frequently used N words % of written Japanese 1,000 75% 2,000 80% 3,000 85% 6,000 90% 10,000 93% 15,000 95% 32,000 98% 50,000 99% also keep in mind you will need to know grammar and typical ways of expressing things. imabi and cure dolly are good resources for grammar
