I don’t see why one direction is harder than the other. The only thing that makes sense to me is that Amazon is user hostile and tries to dupe people into buying stuff even if they don’t want it.

No. You embellish for the sake of trying to make a poorly made point. Your kid may have preferred french fries but they weren’t limited by taste to just the two things you mentioned.

Alexa can add things to your shopping list but not take them off. You have to manually delete items in your shopping cart. This exemplifies why Alexa was never going to be successful. It is a user hostile experience.

As it pertains to food and drink I don’t agree with or understand repeatedly trying something I don’t like. It’s good that you find that it works for you but it doesn’t for me. Cabbage makes me vomit. I don’t like it and will never again

I doubt your son did not like the taste of any other foods beside McDonalds french fries. I don’t understand your point.

I’m specifically talking about taste and not experiences in general. I don’t like the taste of something I don’t try it again. I haven’t found it limiting and as I said I don’t understand people drinking coffee enough to acquire a taste f

I never understood the acquired taste thing. If I don’t like the taste the first time I try something then there won’t be a second time. Why acquire a taste for something you didn’t originally like?

The center in the U.S. has shifted to the right since Clinton’s presidency. It was he who supported and enacted free trade agreements without labor or human rights conditions. He ended Glass-Steagal. Obama enacted the Heritage Foundation

This whole mess is an example of how media desire for eyeballs and sensationalism can drive paranoia and panic. None of the big networks used their power to bring common sense and rationalism to this issue. Instead they fueled the flames a

Apple TV+ is the new HBO. They have fantastic shows and are willing to take chances. The production values are great.

An introspective person would wonder why it is so obvious to others that they have no experience with teaching in the classroom based solely on their views of teaching.

You are not anywhere near the average in learning ability. Your experience is as an outlier.

This is why selling opium should be legal. The consequences of use are on the user not the seller. Sellers never should have culpability assigned to them. Ditto for lenders.

In the U.S. getting that license requires med school. Almost no one is capable of learning advanced topics on their own unless they have already been trained to learn an advanced topic. It’s interesting to see the number of comments talkin

I can tell you have very little experience with teaching. But surely your thoughts on the topic must be on par or superior to those with training and experience. My wife is a doctor and lots of people like to tell her how the body works an

You learned about rational functions in high school or middle school (most likely given your use of “maths”). I can tell you have very little experience with teaching. Most students who know that x + 5/3 x is 8/3 x have trouble,

Do you have any evidence at all for this claim? Only anecdotal evidence. I’ve taught beginning algebra courses at a community college for 23 years. Students who don’t know fractions have a very hard time in algebra. Those who can’t und

Whether it is causative or not it is still the case that someone who doesn’t know fractions will have a hard time in algebra. It would be bizarre to teach someone how to add rational functions before they can add fractions.

I studied commutative algebra in graduate school which is an adjacent subject to algebraic geometry. People capable of understanding Hartshorne have number sense.

by skhunted 2y ago
The number sense I talk of is not being able to do numerical calculations easily or in your head but rather understanding how to operate with numbers and their different representations. A person who can understand algebraic geometry doesn

by skhunted 2y ago
There is evidence that a person’s ability to understand and succeed in algebra is mostly determined by whether or not they can do arithmetic with fractions. Number sense is important in my opinion. Relying always on the calculator or a CA

There is an interesting physics education experiment. A random group of students are shown a lecture on a topic and take a quiz after watching the video. The students rate the lecture. Repeat with a different lecture on the same topic. T

California gets much less in federal spending than they pay in federal taxes. California is much larger population wise than Texas and as such it isn’t surprising that they need more federal aid. California also doesn’t vote against feder

Not all silliness is equal or equally stupid. The Texas legislature routinely calls for secession when a Democrat wins the Presidency and votes to stymie federal aid to other states while demanding federal aid for themselves. I don’t see t

The hate as you call it is not weird. It’s a reasonable response to a state that consistently enacts laws and regulations that hurt the people. You get what you vote for and people in other states have to put up with idiotic Texas politic

Waste and environment are the only reasons you gave that speak to the preference being bad in any sort of objective sense. The status quo ante iPhones was lack of repairability in cheap, small devices. The devices cost little and there was

It’s unclear who the “they” are in your comment and even if you did make it clear your post is less meaningful than the one I responded to. What was the goal with this retort?

by skhunted 2y ago
The topic at hand is not about a preference that most people would not find objectively good or bad. Why is this particular preference bad enough that one should feel bad for having it? Without statements supporting this view your post do

A friend of mine is a lawyer for DOJ and he indicated to me that lower courts do try to suss out where SCOTUS is going and rule accordingly. I don’t believe this ruling would have been made if recent SCOTUS rulings were different. I have
