LOGIC💣

When I went to college, I had a computer science professor who assigned a group project, and he also told us exactly how to do a group project. You know, how to organize it, how to distribute work, how to have meetings and report progress, etc.

That was the first time any teacher had ever explained anything to me about the group itself. The professor thought it was a good way of introducing students to the way things are done in a workplace, and he was right. Group projects are hard. If the students have to figure it out themselves, they will screw it up royally, just like anybody would.

I honestly believe that every teacher I had up until that point had no interest in using group projects to actually educate the students. It was just a break so that the teacher could pretend like they were teaching students to work in a group, but actually added little scholastic value for students. (There was some inherent value in the socialization aspects, but the teacher never told us to do that, either.)

If teachers don’t teach, then it’s only luck if students end up learning.

That sounds to me like an assertion that has no basis in reality.

The US military has had many incidents where it was sloppy as shit. I wouldn’t completely write off the idea that they might just be a lot more incompetent than most people think.

People have been saying that about Stephen Miller since before Trump’s first presidency.

It’s just as unsurprising as Elon Musk’s Nazi salutes on stage at a GOP convention.

The reason Musk accidentally makes Nazi salutes when he gets excited is that he’s a Nazi.

The reason Stephen Miller’s rhetoric is the same as Nazi rhetoric is that he’s a Nazi.

I’m not speaking metaphorically. I don’t mean “Neo Nazi”. I mean that Stephen Miller, like Elon Musk and Donald Trump, idolizes Nazi Germany, and in all likelihood, literally thinks of himself as a Nazi.

Eh, no reason to discard the idea of putting a ceiling on the rich. Even if you took away all of the money people had that was over 1 billion dollars, that wouldn’t cause any of those people to suffer.

Trump is all about “having”, not “supporting.” He fathered children, but I’m sure he didn’t raise them.

I suspect that China knows that they can say whatever they want, and that they can do whatever they want, and that those two things have nothing to do with each other.

Saying they support humanitarian rights makes them look good.

They can sign any agreement or treaty or whatever. If it says human rights must be respected, well, that’s just ink on paper. It’s not like it’s going to change what they do in the least.

It’s more surprising that the US voted against this. Maybe it means the US ambassador to the UN is somewhat working against Trump to make him look like an amateur. Maybe it means that Trump weighed in on this directly, and this happened because he really is just that stupid.

I can’t find it now, but I remember an old video of a person opening the door and scooching through the car in the back seat when it was blocking the crosswalk.

Of course, with automatic door locks, it’s less likely to work these days.

She never deserved to get known by those initials in the first place. Her name isn’t difficult to say. They were just envious of AOC and forced it.

I always just called her Greene or Marjorie Greene. Hopefully it’s all moot now anyways and we can forget about her.

If he’s actually afraid of the axis, then he’s in trouble because the axis is always there, even if he’s not moving along the axis.

Didn’t you hear how many wars he ended? There was the, uhhh, Albania-Azerbaijan war, the uhh, Israel-Palestine war that he completely ended moments before they started a new completely different war. Also Robot Wars and Storage Wars. And many others behind the scenes, so that from the outside, he seems to have done nothing at all.

We’ve watched Scrooged (NSFW) at Christmastime for the last few years.

Yeah why does the teacher have the equation for a line next to what appears to be a parabola?

And I don’t think either function is going to describe some random cock very accurately.

The God she tells you not to worry about.

I’ve never seen A Muppet Christmas Carol, but just looking at these pictures has caused me to start weeping uncontrollably.

On the other hand, the GOP, along with some Democrats, just approved a huge military budget, $900 billion IIRC, and what have they been doing with that? Blowing up fishing boats, hijacking oil tankers, and basically gearing up for some sort of larger military action in South America, perhaps. More suffering and death.

The GOP knows that causing suffering and death is in their best interests. They need “others”. They need victims. And they need hate. If people were able to calm down and rationally vote in their own best interests, instead of billionaires’ best interests, the GOP would be gone within a few years. And after that, the Democratic party would have to change quite a bit if they wanted to stick around, as well.

These uniforms suck!

This being a poll, the most important information is the exact question they were asked. If you ask the same question in a different way, you can get wildly different results. I clicked through to the Reuter’s link from this article, but I’m not sure it says the exact question.

From the graphic on that page, it says:

“The federal government is hiding information about Epstein’s alleged clients”

From Republicans, the “Yes” is 61% (I’m assuming this is a rounding issue with their software), and “No” is 17%.

So, strangely, the headline of this post and of the article that OP linked seem to be accurate, but if you read the content of that article, it’s quite a bit less accurate. It’s the opposite of what you normally expect from clickbait news articles.

Authoritarians simply have a need to say these things, even if nobody believes it, or if it’s provably untrue. We should try to get Trump and Kim Jong-Un supporters into deciding which one of them is the better golfer.

Next experiment will be the Banach–Tarski paradox.
