Cautiously optimistic but extremely superstitious about something that may happen in the future, and I'm afraid that if I speak of it it will end up not happening

I think I live in paradise

I really don't like that groups can be non-split

Today marks one year since Trump’s inauguration and I can finally announce the completion of my own personal project 2025 that I started this time last year: bench 225 within a year. Thank you to the current administration for providing gym motivation

Went on a date yday w someone who told blatant lies. “I bench pressed 230 for reps within 6 months of lifting, then I quit and lost all the muscle”. No you didn’t. You are a 140lbs woman, why do you even bother to lie about something so obviously untrue. Very confusing behaviour

climbed before lifting today and my left elbow tweaked so hard during the warmup that I couldn't do any working sets of bench press

synthetic constructions in maths really nerd snipe me

gonna be taking a break from being on here and will use a third-party app which lets me post/read replies without browsing my feed

Just got 215 for 2, I’m achingly close to 2 plates

Shoutout my mother for my extremely vascular forearm/hand genetics

why is geometry so French

Extremely stressed out and only got 4h of sleep but I’m having by far my strongest day in the gym ever

it was a basic algebra mistake though (1/(u + sqrt(u)) = 1/u + 1/sqrt(u)) so I understand where my friend was coming from

mathematicians are so fucking funny wdym you just put a skull emoji as feedback when grading finals and got surprised when your student was annoyed w you

Before functoriality, people lived in caves.

shoutout the woman I fumbled back in June that led to me starting to listen to their stuff

being a good boy and drinking my milk

what if I go outside in a bad fit and then I fumble

I'm usually very open and tolerant of new ideas but some of the stuff people are doing these days turns me extremely conservative. What the fuck do you mean that instead of a commutative ring I should be working with condensed animated rings

I'm much more content to vibes my way through stuff where I don't really know the foundations these days. Do I know the technical theory of formal algebraic stacks? No. Can I draw you one? Yeah easily

It’s going to be so over for you all in ~April

modular in the sense of modular form/curve and moduli as in moduli space, plural of modulus, were named completely independently, it's a really happy coincidence that modular curves are also moduli spaces

Mr Scholze please stop, I can't keep up with all the new things you are doing

god did not create non-principal ultrafilters why do I have to deal with them

topology has progressed beyond the need for topological spaces

is anyone looking for a \mathbf

there are so many moving parts in modularity lifting proofs and each of them is so cool and fun to learn on its own (except for maybe the Tate duality bits)

biceps used to be lagging but it's been popping lately, I guess the preacher curls have been doing something

the gym was used to be very boring until one day it suddenly switched and now I'm beaming every time I get to go in and lift heavy

Honestly materialism is great so long as you don't get trapped into chasing status goods. Basically every material comfort I want (hot shower, climbing, good fruit, traipsing around to a cute coffee shop, reading maths) is extremely affordable on a grad student stipend
