@abs πŸ‘‹ sounds like you're in the right place ^_^

@autonomous_hippopotamus It can sometimes feel like that, yes. πŸ˜‚

@abs
> studying #cs
You mean "wasting time and money in a university pretending to study applied mathematics".

@dtluna I don't get what you mean with that.
Do you mean "applied mathemitcs" as in "uses formal logic"?

@dtluna Which is just applied philosophy, yeah.

@abs My point was more about you wasting time and money pretending to study things.

@dtluna I don't know how what you want out of this? I guess I'm sorry you feel like that?

@abs
> I don't know how what you want out of this?
Stop wasting time, you idiot.

> I guess I'm sorry you feel like that?
Feel like what? That I see a young person wasting their time and their parents' money?

@dtluna I don't really feel like I'm wasting my time as I'm enjoying myself. But I guess the experiences in academics can vary greatly.

@abs Spending four years and then being barely able to find meaningful employment is objectively a waste of time and effort.

@dtluna I don't study to find employment. IMO that's a bad motivation for studying something (most of the people who come in because of that drop out by the second semester).
I study because I enjoy learning and understanding these ideas.

@dtluna Isn't enjoyment the ultimate reason to do anything? I think being happy is an end in itself.

@abs Yeah, but consider the costs. You're spending someone else's money just to feel good.

@dtluna My parents seem okay with it (they did the same when they were young). I of course wouldn't be doing it if it was a huge financial burden.

@abs Sure then. At least you don't deny that you're a child at your age.
@dtluna @abs your definition of child, which is a very nonstandard one.

To me, you're far more of a child than abs in the way you behave.
@kurisu @abs
> your definition of child, which is a very nonstandard one.
Yes, a mental child. Someone who refuses to take responsibility for their own actions.

Why?
