>>6189353

He is obligated by rules to teach the lesson but doesn't think it is important.

A girl asked me yesterday whether I ever had sex. I told her that I´m a 23 year old virgin.

I´m the guy who doesn´t just get friendzoned but bestfriendzoned.

But we don´t pussy, right? We got our proofs, our math, our superiority! Logic, not love, right?

>Scientist
>Virgin

I laughed, I doubt you are a scientist

>>6189689

Trust me, we can tell that you'll never get pussy by the way you use the word "friendzoned" unironically. It's an easy indicator of those who will never get laid without paying a hooker.

I bet you also (pick 1) own a fedora, visit /r/atheism or /r/mensrights, or have seriously considered buying My Little Pony merchandise.

>>6189771
I just told you I´m a 23 year old virgin. Yes, Captain obvious, I´ll not get any pussy. Did your scientific education help you to realise that?

And I actually used the word friendzone ironically, because I said I´m not just getting friendzoned but bestfriendzoned. (she´s/i´m her best friend now). I guess it´s more cynical than ironical but who cares.

I could deal with my own failure, the real frustration comes from people as stupid as you being more successful than me.

>>6189347
They aren't rhetorical. It's just that most of the time nobody answers them.

>>6189323
Fuuuuu-

I know an autist in my calc classes that does this and talks to himself the entire time. It gets even more awkward because the professor is an autist himself and will start talking to the student autist like he's not an autist and will not be flabbergasted by a simple social question.

>>6189249

Why specifically german? Are they really good?

>that one guy who still wants to believe 0.999... equals 1 even though the professor demonstrated the proof of them being different numbers

Have you actually told her that you like her? I personally don't "believe in" any other definition of the friend zone, you know, the whole "ah, I didn't explicitly state it, but it's obvious she just wants to be friends." thing. Anyway, I feel for you, I'm a 20-year-old virgin, on my way to becoming a goddamn wizard and shit. Told a college friend of mine that I've been studying with that I wanted to fuck her, she said she just wanted to be friends.

I fucking hate this, so much. I try to stay quiet so other people at least have the opportunity to learn something but the class doesn't move until somebody fucking says something.

we used to have a lecturer like that, but luckily our chemE class didnt stand for that shit and no one answered. ever. after about 2 week the lecturer stopped with that shit when he say he isnt going to get any reaction out of us.

Also whoever the fuck gives mass of neutron as a question worth 5% of the exam is a fucking retard, it's something you look up if you need it, just like Ar. Fuck.

>>6191292
Where u from m8?

>>6191297
What?

>>6191292
Mass of electron is about .5 MeV/c^2. Mass of neutron is about the same as a proton which is about 2000 times bigger than an electron. So about 1000 MeV/c^2. Actual answer is like 940 MeV/c^2 so pretty close.

If your teacher actually expected you to memorize it beyond order of magnitude though, that's pretty funny.

At least I will have a good advise for when I have kids. It is ok to disagree with a professor that have power over your future, you just can't let them know that you disagree with them.
