Fuck I just called Roger, and didn't see the time. I also didn't finish reading these posts. Fuck me! I expect a lump of shit in my stocking.

Had the ringer off.   :lulz:

I don't have much to add to the Coyote thing besides the usual MOMMY AND DADDY DON'T FIGHT.

Ya, not going to happen.

I didn't much appreciate being woke up in the middle of the night to be told that Roger is acting like a shit again.

I actually was posting sporadically, but fuck it, Roger and Nigel can freely post without ever having to think about me coming in and shitting their shit up again.

I don't even know what the fuck Roger is going on about me "think he was a bad guy from the start" kinda shit he is spouting.

So peace out. Everyone can pretty much reach me in other ways.

This may be a "just me" thing as well, but take a moment to collect your entire thoughts. You have this tendency to post, then re-post clarifying the post, then a post responding to yourself about clarifying the post, and then... I don't know, because I just scroll past.

I get the idea of getting your thoughts out of your head and onto the page for analysis, but there's something to be said for completeness, too.

Though, I'm not exactly the poster boy of coherent thought.

No, that's true.

I think something, then I express it, but it's not exactly clear how I came to that thought. And then I have to go through how I came to that thought. That's an accurate assessment. It's a bad habit. I should be clear from the get go, but sometimes I have to backtrack in order to understand what I thought in the first place, if that makes sense. It's easier to understand myself that way, coming to a conclusion and then analysing it.

Next term should be much much better. Maybe not in Biology, which is just plain fucking hard, but definitely in Chemistry.

Biology is the most complicated chemistry there is. I feel that I would have done better if I was required to take Orgo as a preliminary class.

I'm waiting on Ochem because it's required at the 300-level.

I probably would have done better if I'd been able to start the chemistry series a term before the Bio series, but y'know, perfect worlds and all that. They only offer the first class in the Bio series twice a year and I didn't feel like postponing graduation for it.

That's the damnedest thing about the sciences. They're all inherently interrelated. You can't really prep preliminary courses. You just have to throw the student into the deep end of the pool. What is biology? It's organic chemistry + other, emergent stuff. What is chemistry? Physics! and stellar debris.... What is physics? No, seriously, what is physics...

The study of the motion of matter?

Yes. I was thinking on the level of what the devil are those particles doing though. The quantum level is hard to understand from a superatomic perspective. It's, well, alien. We can understand it through math. I personally cannot. I don't have the skill.

You just have to change your perception of "is".

For example, I can understand physics to a degree. Nucleosynthesis, for example. I understand perfectly well how hydrogen becomes helium. Or why dying stars expand. Basic astronomy is pretty easy to grasp. But when it comes to the possibilities that lead up to the Big Bang, or how multiple dimensions work, or how this universe might be a hologram, I can't even approach understanding.

People study for many years to learn what they need to know to be able to understand those things.

You let people call you in the wee hours of the night to tattle on somebody saying things on a message board?

Also, who wakes someone up in the middle of the night to tell them that someone on a message board has posted something uncharitable about them?

"Hey, sorry to wake you, but you know that guy on the internet you told to fuck off? Well, he just lumped you in with other people who told him to fuck off".

:?

C'mon.

I texted him about it. It was dumb, but I didn't call him about it.

I hope that you guys would send an urgent courier if someone at PD ever mentioned my name. We don't have an @Username feature, so this is the next best thing.

Just making my expectations clear.
