That would be a great solution, because while I love Typescript, I hate compiled web code. One of the coolest things about the internet is that as it’s supposed to work, you can download the source code for any website you go to. It’s open source by design. I hate closed source websites and I hate compiled website code that helps close the source it’s quite a contradiction because typescript is awesome and I recognise that compilation is the only way to get it to run on our web infrastructure. So it would be great if we could just type JavaScript and solve the contradiction that way.

Nah, readability is low and you can’t divide by three OR five easily. Binary has even fewer prime factors than decimal.

Meanwhile I’m bucking trends as an advocate of the dozenal metric system.

Americans are still using monarchy units while the rest of the world is on freedom units.

Fuck your decimal system. Dozenal is the most intuitive number system. Arithmetic is so much easier to learn in dozenal and you can even count higher on your hands if you use phalanges instead of fingers. Base 10 is a crap number system. It’s barely composite, it only has two prime factors.

There’s plenty of people renting out properties on airbnb all year round. And yes, they’re landlords. These are perfectly good houses someone could live in, but instead they’re used for tourism and money, and not even the kind of tourism money where the hotel owner is actually responsible for cleaning and the full cost of the property. A proper hotel is better for society than a hundred full time airbnbs.

Well, if I lived in a small town I would need to either walk or give little kids asthma to get anywhere. And seeing as I have both a conscience and the pressures of 21st century fast paced living, it’s impossible for me to live in a small town.

Also small towns don’t got any gay bars

Didn’t you have ads in the 20th century?

Well, sure, but not in our dreams. Only on TV and radio. And in magazines, and movies, and at ball games, and on buses, and milk cartons, and T-shirts, and bananas, and written on the sky… But not in dreams, no siree!

I think even one life of a trans person or Palestinian is important.

Did you tell them they were only expected to work on the assignment during the school term?

Yeah, I figured that out in high school too. I think it just irks me that different students are being graded on a different standard, subjectively speaking. The neurotypicals are being judged on their ability to learn, while the gifted kids are being judged on their ability to explain. Maybe the gifted kids wanna learn too. They’re all told their whole lives the point of school is to learn, and then they’re met with disappointing reality. We expect gifted kids to grow up so fast, and having to explain the material back to the teacher to prove they know it doesn’t help. I wish they got to spend a little longer just being kids.

You didn’t read my other comment in this thread where I directly said Biden was supplying arms to the genocide in Gaza, did you?

How do you deal with students who say “my gut says it works this way. This is an easy problem, the answer is obvious. I don’t know how to explain it to you any more simply”?

I mean, it takes 162 pages to formally prove that 1+1=2, but we got by just fine before we wrote down that proof. We just knew the answer, we couldn’t explain how. If a student is gifted, a high school level problem could be as simple to them as 1+1 is to most people. They might know and not be able to explain how. Now, in a university environment I’d expect them to learn the proof, but that’s not the point of high school maths, is it? The point of high school maths is to know how to solve the problem, not to know why the solution works.

Kids cheat when they’re not engaged with the material enough to learn it properly, or when the consequences for not cheating are too much for them to bear.

You gave them an assignment to do when you weren’t actually teaching them, which means there’s no way they can be properly engaged with the material. And you threatened their spring break with sitting in a room alone doing homework if they didn’t get it done fast enough. You created a perfect breeding ground for cheating. Try creating an environment where kids don’t feel that they need to cheat.

When I was in university I never heard of anyone cheating, because we were all treated like adults and we were engaging in material we liked. Try inspiring your students and treating them like adults. That means respecting their free time. If you don’t give them respect as people, you won’t get any respect as an authority.

Look, you’re obviously so committed to defending capitalist Vlad that you’ll never realise “Genocide Joe” is a nickname for a guy whose name was actually Joe, Joe Stalin, so I’ll engage you on your own silly terms and post a list of things Biden did to help queer people. https://www.hrc.org/resources/president-bidens-pro-lgbtq-timeline. Biden has done plenty to harm queer people as well, of course, but nothing he’s done is as bad as a law sending all gay people to prison, which is what the original Genocide Joe did.

Oh, sorry, I meant the other Russian Genocide Joe. The one who banned being gay.

It’s talking about the Genocide in Gaza, which Biden has been supplying with arms. OP is conveniently ignorant of the fact Trump said Israel should “finish the problem”, he has promised to ban immigration from Gaza, and that Trump’s press secretary claims Trump has done more for Israel than any other president.
