"Math Is Awesome And The Only Reason People Don't Like It Is That Schools Are Bad At Teaching It"
"In my opinion, math is the most beautiful of any "traditional school subject," but the thing is schools are set up in a way that encourages teaching math as a bunch of formulas to memorize. And real math is seldom about memorization. I heard a friend describe math as "the most useful game humanity has ever created" and I have to say I agree with that. Math is like a game, it's a playground where you try to extrapolate truths from a set of rules. I will now spend the rest of this post explaining parts of math that are ignored in schools but are super interesting to me. My explanations don't use any technical math terms, but some of the videos linked will require some thinking."
"Once Someone Agrees With You And Acknowledges Their Mistake, That's Your Cue To Shut Up"
"This one makes me rage sometimes. So there you are, having made some sort of mistake.
For hypotheticals lets pretend you forgot to put your mask on before going into Walmart. (This isn't about masks dont make it about masks, just using an example).
"Sir you need to have a mask on." (Acceptable)
"Why yes here it is, I'm so sorry I forgot. You're right." (Puts on mask)
We are officially done here.
"Well you see theres a pandemic going on....." (wrong. The conversation is over)
"Yeah, you're right I'm sorry man." (Acknowledged twice now, problem corrected! We are done now.)
"When you dont have a mask on you can infect other people...." (why the hell are you still talking)"
People should be encouraged to bash Jada more. Well done. LOL
Also, I'm a US citizen and I agree with #15 and #35. F@*$! American exceptionalism. Our opinion of "ourselves" is laughable most times. We need to take it down a notch or two.
#36 yep, im always like what the hell im gonna get...?
#8 and deny the kid the trophy he is ENTITLED to??
#13 in general, it is not up to each of us to punish people for what they do wrong. Any civilized country has courts and prison systems for that. If you don't want to support someone in their work for how they behave outside work that is up to you, but don't judge people that think otherwise. Like the rising cancel culture. What kind of f@#knuggets thinks it's OK to have someone fired for being themselves outside work? Gina Carano is a good example. Should that apply to everyone? If you neglect your children, does that mean you should be fired from working as a librarian? I've seen stories about the mob trying to get holywood stars fired because "they are @$$hoels in real life and won't let fans take pictures when seen in restaurants" or whatever. W. T. F!!??
#20 quit whining. Not that many generations ago most people had to work all day every day to put food on the table. And you're free to work less, but don't expect to live in a downtown apartment sipping latte at the local cafe all day.
#24 kind of overlaps #13. Yes, he acts like a teenager with no impulse control some times, but look at what he has actually accomplished. EVs would not have been where it is today if it wasn't for Elon and Tesla. I 100% guarantee it. And Spaxe-X too. We're all gonna reap the benefits of that later on.
#15 When I have been in foreign countries, the USA is never in the news. I think Americans think everyone else in the world cares about them, but they don’t.
Agree with most, except #10, #15. And #32 only because I don’t care about their personal lives and haven’t seen anyone laughing at Will Smith. What would they even be laughing at?
Oh, and whoever doesn’t want to know anything about other countries can definitely control the media they watch and stay in their little cushy bubble, so that’s idiotic.
Don't teach that Wikipedia is an unreliable source. Just teach how to use Wikipedia properly and all will be good
