This will probably get zero traction and I'm not sure whether or not any of it has been posted or reported before but holy gently caress. http://www.politico.com/story/2016/09/donald-trump-business-campaign-trail-228500 quote:Donald Trump’s presidential campaign has paid his family's businesses more than $8.2 million, according to a POLITICO analysis of campaign finance filings, which reveals an integrated business and political operation without precedent in national politics. How is this not a thing. How.

A Winner is Jew posted:He's still being investigated by the justice department though right? Because I need the fact that Hillary's justice department will investigate the gently caress out of him in my life. LOL, I don't think so. If anybody is still investigating that mess it would the NCAA and I wouldn't trust anything they did.

As a teacher, I can see this maybe being something if you are using a key, in a rush, and have 30 students. I have made tons of dumb mistakes grading too quickly with an answer key. I fix them when someone points them out though

If you're trying to imprint the underlying fundamentals of linear algebra (ie math with matrices) onto kids then the order matters, because matrix multiplication is not commutative. Iirc that's part of common core, but I could be totally wrong.

With so much focus on how lovely Trump is, there hasn't been time to talk about how the rest of the party sucks. Remember Todd Akin getting hung around Romney's neck? I hope there's a way to tie some of the bad elements of the Republican Party that Trump doesn't directly pander to, like homophobia, to him. Maybe the vice presidential debates could do that.

Endorph posted:when I was a kid, I could read at a college level when I was like, 10. I read lord of the rings and stuff. My teacher got really mad and assumed I was posing, so had me write a book report on lord of the rings for 'extra credit.' So I did. It wasn't deep analysis of the work or anything but I summarized the plots, including stuff that wasn't in the movies, and pointed out character motivations and stuff.  what state was this, if I can ask? I'm training to be a teacher in New Jersey and all the schools I've worked in so far have encouraged independent reading and such. even when I was a kid I never had a teacher be such a jerk

But yeah pretty much as soon as he got the nomination he started enriching himself at the expense of the GOP. Keep in mind that they have had to help him set up offices in certain states because he's refusing to pay for it. It's a pretty obvious slush fund. Not just this but , the antics of Newt and Dr Ben have just numbed us to the grift.

Two spaces after a period was a temporary concession to the limitations of monospace type. If you look at books printed from the pre-typewriter era you'll notice they don't do that. It was just a way to help your eye see the end of sentences when text was so spread out on typewriters and early word processors. We've had the ability to do proportional spacing for a couple decades now, so many of you are typing in a way that went obsolete before you were probably born. Please stop.

Tiny Brontosaurus posted:Yeah, the trash can has always been the perfect litmus test. My understanding of it as a litmus test is essentially "people who think Mookie was being a violent jerk for throwing the trash can and are wrong to implicitly equate the value of Raheem's life with the value of Sal's property," but that discussion of Mookie's motives in throwing the can, whether it was to vent his own (wholly reasonable) fury or to redirect the crowd's anger, is still in the air. Thoughts? e: also im sorry, i can't not double-space my sentences because it's ingrained in my muscle memory
