Go look through some problems particularly in the early grades. Look at how much nonsense and time wastage there is. Math is a well defined course, but it's entirely changed since I was a kid. My sister is a civil engineer and her kids were having problems with their algebra. Try to find an example where long division is used there.

I know it, they make my son split 7+6 some weird way so he breaks out "6" with two circles underneath.

Fortunately, we started doing ROTE FLASH CARDS back when he was 4 or 5 (he's 7 now), so he's memorized every addition, substraction, and multiplication solution up to 12, as most of us learned in school --- but he still has to show it that way for certain problems on tests.

There's a thread on this from a year or so ago, where you have South Asian (who learned from barely updated 19th C Russian textbooks like most Indians, Chinese, and Russians do) Math PhD Parent struggling to figure out the logic in "Number Sentences" or whatever the fuck they call the whole circling thing.

I believe the idea was to front load the thinking with things that make more difficult math easier, however, whole math actually gets easier as time goes on, but frontloads the early grades with all this time wasting, useless shit. Kids before about age 9-10 are parrots and memorize easily, but their abstract/conceptual reasoning isn't developed yet in most.

What movie was that?

Demolition Man. Also had Wesley Snipes and Sandra Bullock. It is about a 20th Century Cop who is frozen until mid 21st Century and really makes fun of a woke society.

Especially the scene where they're going to a fancy restaurant.
Stallone's character says "Were' going to Taco Bell?"
Bullock replies: "Yes, while you were frozen, ALL restaurants became Taco Bell."

For me math was almost all abstract until calculus. I was given a problem to find the what the ratio of the diameter of a lid of a can to the height of the can would have to be in order to maximize the volume of what it contained. Once we completed that, it was demonstrated that all cans have that ratio. Finally, I saw an application.

He needs those briefings to keep him on point with the Globalist Democidal Agendas. Being a PharmaNazi isn't easy.

There's enough crap in there to probably get CLOSE to identifying me. It sends a lot of stuff about my browser, and if I used add-ons, it would be worse. This is how a lot of modern websites can track you no matter what you do.

If you're going to use a burner device, it's off only when you're using it, and you can only use it at a few places, when you're behind the store, wearing a mask and a hat and it only connects to the WiFi and it's disconnected from any network until you are ready to post.

Big Bird dies after struggle with short illness; puzzled doctors write it off despite questions given the Bird's regular exercise and vegetable intake.

Tee Hee! Trump cracks me up.

Soros and Schwab are going after Serbia and Albania in a big way. They got the US State Department to put the Albanian Elected post-Berlin Wall leader on a no-fly list reserved for terrorists, drug dealers, and known criminals. Why? He doesn't like NGO influence on Albania, thinks it's undemocratic.

Hopium, Oh, Hopium!

Wooo, I can smell the Q from here.

LOL! This is in Poland.

The buildings and the flags look right, but the palm tree seems unlikely.

Yeah, palm trees say LA or balmy climate, but coats, flags and building say Euro. I guess they keep a palm tree, or maybe a fake one, in Warsaw.
Don't know what that's about.:

Boogie Down, do the Bicep Blaster!

I would add:

War on Terror

* There was no "infield" - we continued to import "Visa Express" from the Middle East the highest risk areas and still do
* Never predicated US Aid/Protection on Support for Terror
* Did exactly what AQ wanted: Send in ground troops in large numbers
* Accept the Doable, practical Good instead of the Perfect - trying to recreate Western Liberal Democracy in places like Iraq and Afghanistan.
* Didn't even secure the oil for ourselves

War on Drugs:

Either let them kill themselves, or kill them for second possession, never mind dealers or users, and spare them the suffering.
Half-assed civil forfeiture on Suspected Drug Cash, invasion of financial privacy (now $600), and meaningless sentences don't do shit but harass the people.

Good catch. I didn't notice it.

Remember, EVERYBODY lies to you, and people innocently pass it on.
