Avenging_Mikon posted:The thing about Canadian politeness is partly true. I've not seen other groups apologize for their foot being stepped on. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere, that Canadian law specifically says that apologizing is not an admission of guilt, because we just do it way too much and it was messing up court cases.

There are Americans that are medical refugees. People that moved to other countries with real healthcare systems. Since they have a pre-existing condition it's basically impossible for them to get insurance or afford their treatments back home. Returning them to the states would literally be a death sentence.

Puppy Time posted:I mean, it's a dumb name, but the bolded line below it explains they mean men who interrupt and then hijack the conversation to be about what they want. It is an observable phenomenon. If you put a bunch of men in a group and have a person monopolize the conversation for a set amount of time, men on average will be far more accepting of another man than if a woman does the exact same thing. You can get a similar result with a group of white people and a talkative minority.

Takoluka posted:OoT is overrated and hasn't aged well at all. MM is a better 3D Zelda, but all 3D Zeldas are pretty rough. (Though, I'd say WW is probably the best one if you take away how long sailing takes.) LttP was the first Zelda game I played and the only one I owned as a child. Therefore it is the best.

The Saddest Rhino posted:speaking of "MILLENNIALS!!!" a friend just linked me to the most amazing/tryhard article about how terrible this generation is http://www.phillymag.com/news/2016/01/08/boomers-millennials-workforce/#Ip29IWACltoXGkBz.99 quote:Philly Mag’s November cover package highlighted the pretzels that local companies are twisting themselves into to attract and keep younger workers. Forget about a salary and some health insurance. Kids today want “hardwood floors, greenery and sunlight,” gourmet staff breakfasts, “nap rooms,” ping-pong tables, slides, rooftop lounges and beer on tap. I don't know how this became a thing, but you'd have a lot of difficulty finding anyone willing to choose hardwood floors over a decent paycheque and some vacation days.

The problem is that when we were teenagers we did stupid poo poo that wasn't broadcast to the world, and now it is. 20 years ago doing the exact same thing would have a teacher telling you to knock it off, and maybe a detention or something. Today everyone sees it and wants to start ruining lives.

Are you loving making GBS threads me? There's going to be almost an another entire year of this?

Huntersoninski posted:I figured parents were frustrated because it meant their kids are coming home with homework the parents don't know how to help them with. I can understand being less than enthusiastic about that, but to be honest I have no idea how difficult/simple it is to just learn so you can assist you kids. It's basically this. If you already can do math a lot of the new stuff seems bizarre, or excessively complicated. For example - the Make 10 method is something most of us just kind of pick up and start doing automatically when we add numbers in our heads. By teaching it to students and showing them WHY it works, they'll be much more prepared in a few years when math gets a lot more complicated. But parents see these crazy looking equations and ask why we don't just teach the normal math.

Graedyn posted:Agreed. It's one of the things I missed the most when GBS went down the shitter. While momentous things were going on--like the uprising in Egypt and the Boston Marathon bombing--I got up-to-the-minute information, as well a boots-on-the-ground updates from goons, in GBS threads. People could generally contain themselves and not poo poo-post at least within the first few hours to show a modicum of respect for the gravity of the situation, before cutting loose and trying to out-crap each other. That's something that's sorely missing these days. I was in Japan a few years back during the big earthquake, and GBS was somehow one of the best sources for fact checked up to date information. It was especially helpful that mods quickly said "this is a serious thread and making Hiroshima, Godzilla and Pokemon jokes will get you banned" It was a nice place to get a pretty balanced look at the Occupy movement, without wading through insane twitter feeds or clueless mainstream media stories.
