High school math was a breeze. I mean hard for brainlets that there were 10-25 students correcting their "fail marks" as we call 'em over the summer out of a hundred. I think I learnt quick with the exercises we did in class.
Probably was a breeze though. Even if I had potential I screwed it up back then.
What the hell even is your opener? When I try the philosophy talk the response is more or less "who gives a shit"
Philosophy is just a product of psychology.
