The first war the US ever lost unconditionally. Nice work boomers.


I did some reading on the Vietnam War. And by the later parts of the war it was obvious to the soldiers that the war wasn't going anywhere. So instead of hoping for victory the soldiers were just trying to make it through the war. Even now and then a new batch of young officers were shipped from the US and there would inevitable encourage very active participation by the soldiers. Which got soldiers killed in efforts that were wasted anyway. These soldiers would sometime be "fragged" by soldiers who wanted to live through the war themselves. Fragging was when soldiers threw a grenade into an officers residence at night. Since it would be hard to prove who threw a specific grenade.

One of these very enthusiastic young officers was Colin Powell. Soldiers were so determined to frag young Colin Powell that he had to sleep in a different building every single night to avoid being assassinated.

Wasn't always a grenade, sometimes there was a sniper no one took cover from that only shot the officer. That really only happened way out there though.

And even in the beginning of the war it was pretty obvious, I think that's part of the reason my dad wasn't so upset he got really bad malaria partway through his tour.

I like to wander into Persona 4 fan spaces and say that Naoto is/isn't trans.

Trap sprung I guess, but Naoto refers to herself in the third person using female pronouns. She's a cis woman who dresses as a man for work reasons. Then again, her shadow self would make a lot more sense if she were trans, so it's possible they started down that road and then chickened out and pulled a "no homo" at the last second.

Generally, but I'm certain most of them are the most disgusting examples of it while the rest are things they made up to gently caress with colonizers.

At least a few must be, but then again I think about how famine used to be a real, regular "thing" all over the world and a lot of those dishes circle back around the plausible.

Tyler is being dumb but I don't really blame a guy who has literally been banned from countries because of song lyrics to be sensitive about that kind of thing. It just doesn't really have to do with people booing Drake.

Always be suspicious of people who immediately jump to the defense of pedophiles, especially when they jump to the defense of guys who got caught on camera doing it.

He got temporarily banned from the UK, and the song lyrics were specifically about rape and murder. Considering how fast he's coming to Drake's defense, I wouldn't be surprised if it's another one of those "Oh, his lyrics were real thoughts" kind of things.

It reminds me of William Control. Used to be one of my favorite electronic artists, then it came out that he had been running a sex cult and manipulating mentally ill girls into it with just enough legal leeway to avoid rape and assault charges. You go back and read all his lyrics and you realize that he was actually speaking completely literally about wanting girls locked in cages and dying for him!

I don't think they ever actually intended Naoto to be trans (we have in-development plans for that game and there's no indication they ever considered that direction), but I agree that it would make for a stronger story if she was. As it stands she's got the same conflict as Kanji of 'I thought I was LGBT because I latched on to superficial parts of how people see those people, but it turns out I'm not'. Which is a totally valid angle to have in a story all about teenagers dealing with teenage thoughts and feelings, but having it twice doesn't add anything new, while you would get value out of someone having those doubts and turning out to be right.

You’d really have to redo her arc significantly though otherwise rather than rejecting the whole idea that there’s a conflict between gender and occupation, Naoto would just solve it by turning out to have been the “right” gender the entire time.

I remember tutoring my nephew with a proto common core approach. I didn't get it so I taught him wrong. He knew I was wrong but couldn't articulate it. So i had him teach me how to do it. I was tutoring him so he only kinda got it but I was immediately angry. I had been taught bullshit math.

This is at the core of the issue. Boomers and Chuds really really don't like it when their kids exceed them at anything (unless said success comes with a direct monetary/social bonus for them).

i always thought this song was great because "you can't take three from two, two is less than three, so you look at the four in the tens place" is exactly how i was taught to subtract so that made perfect sense, while subtraction with carrying remains bizarre to me.

Out of curiosity, can someone give a tl;dr of the current educational methods for doing a math problem in your head?

When I was a kid, back in the Pleistocene (i.e. the late 1980s), it was the "imagine doing it on paper and try like hell to remember all the little numbers you wrote in all the various places" method which never ever worked at all for anyone. The only mental math method that ever worked for me was the "pick the nearest 'easy' numbers and then make the corrections back to the actual problem" method, which I had to make up myself because no one ever taught it. Like if it's 21*32, start with 20*30 which is easy, 600. (In case that's not easy, 10*30 is easy, then double that.) Then correct it to 21*30 = one more 30 than (20*30) which was 600, so 630, and then correct the other figure to 21*32 which is two more 21s than (21*30), so that's 630 + (21*2) = 630+42 = 672. It looks a lot more complicated in text than it is in your head, at least if your brain works along similar lines to mine. Anyway, please say they're finally teaching something like this instead of saying you're wrong, you need to imagine the algorithm we do on paper.
