I tried to explain ADHD math to someone and they didn't understand at all
  • This is how it is supposed to be taught. Common core has this exact quality of numbers explicitly shield or in primary school curriculum. Numbers are not static objects but the composite of infinite functions that can be used to determine the value in whatever base number system you want. Next time someone says school didn't teach math remind them that the US is something like 30th in the world at math and when the department of education tried to do something about it parents said it was too hard to understand and we just kept falling backwards.

  • Texas Secessionsts win GOP backing for independence vote: 'Major step'
  • The problem with TEXIT is the same with BREXIT and pretty much any libertarian policy in that it expects so many things to stay the same.

    As soon as this happens, assuming the US take direct military action, all the US bases are gone. Same with all defense contractors. Technology companies are gone too, they do not want to go through the headache of working with the US a foreign company. That's Texas Instruments and HP.

    Taxes will skyrocket. They will lose all the US tax subsidies that allow them to have no state income tax and now they need to replace all military personnel and infrastructure.

    They will probably not bottom out but they aren't going to be a world power. They will pretty much be Spain in terms of economy.

  • How Democrats are plotting against Project 2025, the ‘dystopian’ manifesto for Trump’s second term
  • You know how in dystopian stories how it always starts like 50 years after the fascists take power? Project 2025 is the plan to put the fascists into power. It pretty much places trump as dictator by putting into place all the people who will follow through this time.

  • Fat Lip
  • Now it's pretty man stream but at the time they made this video sum 41 were total unknowns. All the people in the video were fans that answered a email from their manager to a fan list and were pretty much just told when and where to show up. The acting was all ad libed. It is one of the most indie music videos that I know of.

  • Libertarians are conservatives who smoke weed.
  • Which pretty much makes it functionally impossible post WW2 with a few super rural exceptions. Even then those locations benefit greatly from government subsidies. I'm thinking of a lot of the Alaska villages that get oil money from the state but even those towns of 200 people in Wyoming have roads and electricity only because of government programs. If you want to be a part of the world in any way shape or form you need some type of government and any government needs taxes to be able to function.

  • Libertarians are conservatives who smoke weed.
  • I already say that everyone is a libertarian when they are teenagers and think they know better for themselves than anyone else could. The only people who keep being libertarians are either too dumb to realize how good taxes and public goods/services are or are too self centered to ever consider that they could be wrong.

  • People want 'dumbphones'. Will companies make them?
  • I don't want a dumb phone. I want a circa 2014 smart phone that is not expected to replace my laptop and serve as a constant data stream for corporations. I want to be able to visit a website on my phone and not have it try to get me to download an app, be ads on 70% of the screen, or just be unreadable formatting. Let me call, text, do a basic online search, play a stupid flash game, and take my money. Stop being greedy and trying to make everything I do monetizable

  • Union leader endorsing Biden: ‘We’re not gonna waste a lot of time’ on Trump supporters
  • I'm just glad someone finally decided it wasn't worth the time or effort to "understand Trump supporters" like there is some magic words to get the to realize he's a con man. It's been over 8 years, if they are MAGA now they will probably never stop. Focus on the Haley voters and win the elections you can.

  • Railroad agrees to $600 million settlement for fiery Ohio derailment, residents fear it’s not enough
  • The state needs to ask for federal involvement in these situations. And I'm not just saying that it's on Ohio to ask, legally how the system is set up is the state needs to ask in order for any release of aid. DeWine (R) did not ask. The white house and federal agencies did everything they legally could to assist and be ready for the ask, DeWine just didn't.

  • Expecting...
  • I have three kids and I think the most important thing for the first few days is to initiate the help. Don't wait to change a diaper, check it. If you do formula, take the first few feedings. Let your partner get extra sleep if they can.

    When it's time for you to go home it will be the weirdest feeling in the world. At no other point in life will you grow up so fast and feel like an adult. It's normal and we are all doing our best, dint try to be perfect.
