I genuinely had a mortgage advisor point at a > and go "is that more than or less than, I never can remember?"

I ended up not taking his advice on a mortgage, although I did also fix his printer before he left. I did this by clearing 150 jobs from the print queue.

That takes me way back to grade 1 where the way I was taught was to imagine an alligator eating the bigger number. I think all year I even drew teeth on them!

Same. I just don't tell people I'm thinking about it when I'm giving them financial advice or something related thereto.

It's a fucking arrow pointing from big to small. It has a big end that goes at the big number and a small end that goes at the small number.

It couldn't be simpler.

People still can't remember.

I mean I get having trouble with Trig.... But this ?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

I prefer the alligators.

I hit a wall at trig. Far as I got in math, and I've been a programmer for over half my career.

Have always wanted to go back and learn trig and calc, but have never had the chance. Probably at this point would do better just to sit down w a text book and teach myself.

I know people near there 30's who still can't tell left from right.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

sounds like a spatial perception issue, i have dyspraxia and that fucked up my left from right a lot when i was younger. i could imagine worse dyspraxia making it bad as an adult

I think we were told that as well, but I preferred to think of it as Pac-Man's mouth.

Can't understand sigils. Printer was cursed. Makes sense.

I went to a notary and she asked me "Do I sign here?" I didn't even know what a notary was, let alone what they're supposed to do.
