I took Chemistry for English majors in College

Our first lab was "Will this explode"

We just held balloons full of glass up to open flames and recorded if they exploded or not

SCIENCE!

That's a lot lower than what I would have expected. Is the hate crime data from charges or for convictions?

Offenses, not convictions. But the numbers obviously have some major flaws like how incredibly racist and bigoted the police are suppressing those numbers.

But the basic ranking for most to least hate crimed:

Black
(gigantic gulf, Black is close to the next three combined)
Jewish / Male Homosexual / White (lol, thanks the south)
(another 40% dropoff)
Hispanic
Other ethnicity or National Origin
Generic Homosexual hate crimes
(another huge dropoff)
Asian / Muslim
(dropoff to everyone else)

Actually our college system mandating a wide berth of general knowledge as opposed to a focused or career oriented education is the reason Higher Education is considerably more successful than our Public System

This is true. The number of CS students I've run into who couldn't write a document on is depressing.

Take a loving social science course and learn how to write a simple paper where you can communicate an idea, jesus christ.

The German model for engineering tech schools are (much) faster and better than American engineering programs and they don't mess around with goofy poo poo like we do. I think they have better lower education, though.

I'm glad the Bengals lost.


I'm glad because I'm not sure I would be able to hold myself to this decision if they had won.


I had an amazing seat for the game, and was perfectly placed to see the hit made on Giovanni Bernard. This is a kid who has been every bit the upstanding citizen, and builds schools in Haiti with his wealth. What I realized when I was asked to watch a player lower his eyes to the grass and drive the crown of his helmet through Gio's head over and over is that the NFL doesn't care at all about these people. I guess I always knew that but it really drove the point home.

The NFL reviewed the play to see whether their idiotic notion of what is and isn't a catch was held to. They reviewed the play to see whether Gio's wrist touched the ground. They reviewed the play to see if he was able to hold on to a bit of leather as he lost consciousness. They forced us to watch Ryan Shazier do exactly what they claim to be trying to prevent over twenty times. I finally came to terms with the fact that the reason the NFL doesn't make a more serious effort to enforce these penalties is because they don't give a drat about Giovanni Bernard. As I watched fans throw cans and bottles at the officials I realized that had more to do with the colors on the uniforms than the fact that that one hit will almost certainly have a major impact on the kid's life. I like the team because I like the players.

Players don't give a poo poo about personal fouls because they're called arbitrarily, and until the NFL makes personal fouls reviewable I am not consuming another second of football. I should stop outright regardless, but I love the game. I will miss chatting with y'all but I can't justify following a sport that has such flagrant disregard for the welfare of its players. I'll see y'all in other subforums.

I graduated the ranger indoctrination program, which is selection to get into the army rangers. I ate trash and got hypothermia and ended up graduating along with 60 dudes out of a class that started with nearly 200. Later in my military career, I took a general under honorable discharge rather than continue on with an entry level training course in the signal corps with well over a 90% graduation rate. If I buy into something, I'll bust my rear end for it. But if I think it's stupid, I'm not loving doing it. And molar mass and all that other dumb poo poo is about as stupid and useless as it gets, and no one has a leg to stand on when they argue otherwise. All they say to back themselves up is that it teaches you problem solving! :v: Get the gently caress out of here with that wax on wax off bullshit.

the great fallacy of a capitalist system is that education is only worth the economic value we produce.

We live in a democratic republic bro, mandating and preserving the widest possible range of knowledge to the widest possible range of people is necessary to preserve our way to life on every level.
