in my defense, I've only actually shouted in a library twice, and both times it was about statistics
@Keltoi oh no printers
🖨 🔥
I mean I think I also want indoor space where there's actually space to move around and sit in small groups without people right behind you (ie coffee shops make me anxious sometimes)
@linen yeah i defintiely get that. this whole ownership of indoor space thing wiht monetary gatekeeping is bullshit
@Keltoi for real!!!! and like I already struggle with unnecessarily buying stuff I don't need (*shakes fist at capitalism*), but avoiding $cash$money$spaces$ means I don't go to things I might otherwise enjoy
@linen yeahhh it gets really isolating, it sucks
@Keltoi yeah. gotta work with what I can manage I guess
@linen I mean for now but i vote for making more accessible publick chilling space that doesnt also come with really ridiculous rules and standards
@Keltoi yeah! and places that are like, actually appealing to hang out in instead of being architecturally hostile (that's a thing, right?)
@linen that is ABSOLUTELY a thing and yes
@Keltoi oh good I remembered a thing!
I think there should be more of those nice plant walls that have water trickling down them, those are so nice
@linen yesssss i have a friend who majored in botany and her job is now installing plant walls and im honestly so jealous?
@Keltoi omg that's??? an amazing job??!!?
here I'll install a plant wall for you:

@Keltoi thank you! I love the frog
@linen shouting about statistics is a good sign that you are my kind of people
@ansate fuck statistics
I mean it's pretty neat actually, but I learned an entire stats course in 2 weeks bc I was too depressed to go to class so I don't have the best perspective on it
also the way the math dept teaches stats is stupid useless for actually doing anything with it EUGH
@ansate anyway. hello! I no longer do much/any math, but I very much appreciate the way it helped to structure my thinking
@linen if i had a lot more time
and patience i would seriously try to overhaul our stats education. undergrad: swapped homeworks w a cs guy. grad school stats is finally reasoning instead of memorizing
@ansate I'm glad grad school is better! I took a looong time to finish my undergrad (which was only partly in math) so I was way too burned out for that noise
what are you studying?
@linen ❤️ i did some econ and some applied math. now i’m out getting paid to count things
@ansate score! (I hope? do you like counting things?)
one day I would really like to have a job where I get to sit in a quiet room and organise and reorganise small colourful objects according to various properties, that sounds so nice. the only reason I held onto my bead collection for so long was because it was so soothing to sort it
@linen statistics would make anyone shout.
ive shouted in libraries a lot but the library in my highschool was run by the coolest librarian ever and im also like, always shouting.
I also shouted at the printers in my uni library often
