No racism, sexism, or anything you know that would get your ass in trouble in the real world. Leave drama at the door. Don't bring that shit here. Good vibes only

 

[Sega Dreamcast]

Soon we will have bland names for Cars because having anything remotely native american or reflective of a race is "cultural appropriation" and "racist" (of course what is considered racist has been expanded in popular time to include anything offensive, learn about what real racism is)

What a stupid argument, as if Woke Twitter has cornered the market on "Cool Words"

 

[Sega Dreamcast]

If there's an argument to be made about names, it's how these multi-national corporations take a word and it's meaning and turn it into nothing but a lifeless representation of commercialism.

Google the word Mustang and tell me how many horses you see, my point exactly.

 

[John Price]

HF has gotten so woke now everyone is so offended lmao

Leave your wokeness on twitter

don't bring it here

"Cherokee is a slur"

Is it?

Context comes from the Latin for how something is made. It was first used to talk about writing, as in "the beautiful phrase occurs in the context of the concluding paragraph." We use it now to talk about any circumstance in which something happens. You might say that you can't understand what happens without looking at the context. When someone takes your words but makes it sound like you meant something else, they've taken your words out of context.

Arguing against math like my boomer parents.

"Why would I ever need to know what X is?" said the person too clueless to even recognize when they're using algebra.

"Why do teachers lie and say you won't have a calculator with you for the rest of your life?"

-Person who pulls out their phone to calculate a 20% tip

Probably half the people who use calculus in their jobs because they are actually calculus teachers.

 

[John Price]

Probably half the people who use calculus in their jobs are actually calculus teachers.

which leaves engineers still using calculus in the 4%

 

[John Price]

In this day and age nobody pulls out a pen and paper and writes down a calculus formula

NOBODY

 

[John Price]

First of all you aren't ASKED to derive anything

In school you can be asked test problems to derive such as this

In the real world you are not given those figures or asked to derivate ex cosx

You literally have a computer program do it

I am much more interested in cars than I am in horses

 

[LarryFisherman]

I am much more interested in cars than I am in horses

contrarily i am much more interested in horses than i am Ford Mustangs

 

[John Price]

you don't understand how badly i hate math

math is so pointless

nobody uses math other than basic arithmetic. if the server breaks down how often are you going to resort to trig or linear algebra? No bitch you just reboot the server.

 

[John Price]

"Server is acting weird. Better find the tangent of the 35 degree angle."

 

[John Price]

"Yeah man it's those IBM Lenovo PC's they have terrible sin identities. They need more cos on this thing."

i don't think opening up on an empathetic level and allowing the discussion should be labeled "wokeness" or calling people "offended".

That's mega dumb. Listening to other people's POVs and having dialogue is important. Close-minded f***s like you who just shout as loud as you can about anything you don't understand or agree with is the real tragedy

 

[John Price]

My router done messed up I need to recalibrate the cotangent of the 175 degree angle.

Why waste my time, but here we go.

You will not find a single viable source on the internet to claim that rote memorization is good or beneficial in the long term.

While it's pointless to make students memorize formulas, the students need to understand the broad concept and be able to apply it to a problem through critical thinking, otherwise all you did was teach the students how to punch numbers into a calculator.

memorization is the problem

 

[John Price]

The point is to teach students how to use the software that they will use in the real world. That doesn't involve memorization the last time I checked.
