we’re not debating vaccine mandate efficacy, we’re debating you implication that teachers aren’t in it for the students. you’re being intellectually dishonest.

i hear this argument a lot (see what i did there?) and it makes some sense. however, i’d like for people to step back and consider education as something more than a commodity. an educated society seems like a healthier society across all d

> It’s about teachers, not students. this is a false dichotomy and reeks of political rhetoric. it’s honestly both. teachers desire a safe working environment for themselves AND want to do the best they can to educate students under the

the primary argument against school choice/voucher systems is that it would implicitly recreate segregation across races and classes. there are counter arguments to this line of thinking, but that’s what i’ve heard as the primary argum

that only partially addresses one half of the comment though. additionally, “summers off” is a fairly common red herring that’s just designed to distract from the primary argument. this has nothing to do with time off or tenure so please st

i see your point, but hans and runeard were not the primary _antagonist_ in each of those movies, and te ka was actually a good being who acted negatively because of maui's actions. hand and runeard were essentially "living"

yeah, i agree. and zootopia is self vs societal norms, but each of them have a more "traditional" villain, so i included them in the traditional group.

this is the crux of the matter - relative definition of “shitty.” i’ve been told i wrote shitty code because i didn’t use abstract types or generics or i wrote overloaded methods that repeated themselves. but i knew the domain and i knew th

aws isn’t a hobby platform. businesses are built on aws and other cloud providers. those businesses customers have the expectation of knowing why they are not receiving the full value of their service. it makes sense that part of marketing

that safari isnt available necessarily puts it into the group of "not different" browsers because of how it's restricted by apple. not knocking it because i really enjoy mobile safari, but it's not different, at least no

on the one hand, i think that calling this "censorship" is wrong because, in my understanding, "censorship" is an activity of the government in an attempt to remove the (presumably dissenting) voice of the populace. this

i've always wanted to test the hypothesis that the timing and type of penalties within a game have more of an impact than the overall number of penalties. is there a way to leverage a penalty for strategic advantage at any given point

Have an upvote for your tongue-in-cheek social commentary. Sugar is more addicting than alcohol and it definitely is mood-altering, though it seems the effects are more subtle and less severe than alcohol

Yeah. At this point, social engineering is a hallmark of the Covid generation. In retrospect, Zoom hackery almost seemed like the inevitable outcome. We’ve shared good laughs with our kids over the antics “classmates” pulled because of zoom

Those examples of appeal to authority are a lot more nuanced than I’ve generally seen. It’s generally more blunt, like “we interviewed 5 PhDs about climate change and they all state that there’s no good evidence to support it.” Those PhDs h

I’ve also read that it was the byproduct of post war migration of whites who wanted access to the city but were afraid of the concentration of black people who resided in the city interior. (Stamped from the Beginning by Ibrim X Kendi)
