  • You can’t teach if you don’t identify where the students are getting things wrong and correct them. It’s one of the major reasons why teachers deserve so much more pay. My wife used to be a teacher, and she worked 2-3 hours past the end of school correcting students’ work pretty much every weekday, and spent several hours every weekend planning out her lessons for the following week. She got paid significantly less than me working in a basic entry-level 9-5 office position.

    Correct - forums are a place for people who talk rather than do, because those that do don’t have the time to argue online. Though I shit on all evil, regardless of some arbitrary relation to America. I don’t rely on American news outlets, I watch the global scene. It’s why I understand that America is just as bad as any of the other cartoonishly evil places in the world that people will fall for propaganda to defend.








  • Unfortunately, in the twitter comments that someone linked, you can see that he still staunchly believes that Trump was the best pick, and that a vote for democrats is a vote to “trans the kids.”

    Republicans have been primed to treat their own suffering as a trial they need to overcome, and that was done specifically so they wouldn’t vote in everyone’s best interests even if it’s clearly also in their own best interests.



  • The joke is that it’s not yucky because while yes, it shows that you shit, everybody shits, so it shouldn’t be surprising or even noteworthy. They’re using it to tie into their actual point that parents talking about sex isn’t yucky because sexuality is natural, and discussing it shouldn’t be surprising or even noteworthy. Even in the case of asexuality, it’s still a discussion that should be had.





  • It was ruined for me when I was getting my masters in genetics and learned that “mitochondria” is plural, and the singular is “mitochondrion.” So, it’s either “the mitochondria are the powerhouse of the cell” or “the mitochondrion is the powerhouse of the cell,” and neither feel right.



  • When I was in college they came out with a bunch of different “pieces” candies. They were just like Reese’s pieces, but for different candies, like Heath and Almond Joy. I loved them, and I loved the fact that you could mix them together to make different flavors. They didn’t last too long, though. I was disappointed when I couldn’t find them anymore after a few years.

    Then later I found a new favorite candy in the Butterfinger cups. They were like Reese’s peanut butter cups, but softer and with little Butterfinger pieces in them! I loved them, but they also disappeared in a few years. That’s the issue with gravitating toward new things - so many of the ones I find myself enjoying end up failing since most people just like to stick with what they know.
