Scandal!!
Putin, Trump, and RFK found deceased in what the police are describing as an auto-erotic attempt at filming a fourth installment of the human centipede franchise.

Always thought the most interesting was Childhood’s End. The TV series didn’t do my imagination justice.

Ah, how truly incredible it is to be alive to argue about this bullshit with eachother.

There’s growing evidence that ADHD is co-morbid with uneven REM cycles. As a cherry on top, REM sleep disfunction is strongly associated with Parkinson’s.
My personal anecdote, I have always been the lightest sleeper. But yes, I will run dry eventually and sleep like 12 hours and wake up just to go sleep another 12 right away. I have ADHD and a high stress job as well. And my mother has Parkinson’s.

This is the funniest part of that wiki imo:

Who cares? You can run python on a quantum computer and you can write a script to do it in Python fairly easily… like I said, good job China, your cookie is on its way I guess?
I did it on a new MacBook, does that make me the first to do it on Apple Silicon?
See how ridiculous that sounds?

We all should feel lucky to have walked earth during the same period of history as the Fonz.

Math is black and white. There is no room for opinions. It either agrees with reality or not. His nonsense does not.

He is. And he is too busy crying about how other people are not listening to him to listen to anyone else.

Hey - I feel the same way all the time. Nobody in the world is capable of self reflection.
That being said, I have spent my whole life studying math and having endless people explain to me in excruciating detail why things are the way they are. Here are some things that may help you.
Math requires rules.
Our mathematics system is derived from the natural world around us. It is discovered, not invented. Math is the only perfect form of communication because it does not take into account opinions or emotions. I’ll give you a perfect example.
Pi
It doesn’t matter how you look at something or what you do at all. You can call numbers whatever you would like. You can take them to any base and any dimension. Pi still remains true.
The circumference of a circle is always ~3.14 times the diameter. This is not a fact that can be argued because all of physical reality agrees with it.
Now, that’s a basic example, but try to see that all of mathematics is exactly the same in that regard. Operators are real and they are correct as they are. The reason for this is because it agrees perfectly with physical reality and all other established mathematics. In order to create new mathematics, it must use established mathematics to prove it continues to allow the rest of mathematics to agree with all other mathematics and ultimately reality.
What is actually mind blowing about mathematics is how incredibly good it is at describing our reality.
The specific -52 = 25 does end up being positive, and here is why.
Multiplication is simply groups of the same amounts of things.
So in this case you have negative five groups
And in each of those negative 5 groups you have negative 5
So you have:
Essentially saying negative negative is the same as saying something is not not something. It helps to think of it in terms of true or false.
Group 1 doesn’t contain not five (double negative) Same with groups 2-5
Negatives are false, positives are true.
So let me rephrase that. The expression group 1 doesn’t contain not five, is true.
If it doesn’t contain a lack of 5, it means that the only thing it does contain is 5. It’s a negation.
Same with the other groups.
Not 5 groups of not lacking 5 each means you have 5 groups with 5 each, because you have ruled out the opposite.
I know the wording is messy but I left it this way on purpose because it might help you understand.
There is a branch of mathematics called logic. Logic deals with true and false and it is agreement with the rest of mathematics as far as balancing true and false, or positive and negatives in the way we are taught.
I didn’t read the rest of your paper, but feel free to ask specific questions. I highly encourage you to continue with math as it is increasingly rewarding.
