Math. It was the least effort to success ratio.

Like, history? I'm not reading all that shit, writing paragraphs out for you. Ugh.

Math: all angles of a (euclidian) triangle add to 180. One is 120. One is 30. One is x. What is x? 😎 really? That's the lesson, just like 45 different ways? Ok. Ez.

Haven’t you made it past primary school yet?

Is this your way of saying you failed Differential Equations in college?

😢 that's the easy stuff it gets harder

No it doesn't, you're just bad at it.

I think you responded to the wrong guy

I did not.

My bad, what you wrote and quoted made no sense to me as a response to my comment or the one I responded to.

You suggested I hadn't made it out of primary school yet, presumably because my math example was a trig/algebra example.

This came off as gloating over your own math skills.

I let you know it came off as immature by asking you if that was your way of telling us that you had failed more difficult math classes, like diff eqs.

I then closed by letting you know that not only am I beyond primary school, I found a notoriously difficult math curriculum (again, diff eqs) to be just as easy as the trig/calc that made me fall for math in then first place.

Finally, I suggested that all math is easy if you're good at math, and that if you found something in math challenging, it'd be because you personally struggled with it and not because it didn't make perfect sense, to tie the whole point together.

Hope this helps.
