Solaris 2.0 posted:So I just want to vent for a moment. I decided to try to post in D&D. Particularly the Local Politics s thread. I figured it may be a good resource of Goons organizing in groups around the country to remove Republicans from power and push for liberal candidates. I get this and I feel it now and again but then I remind myself of some facts. MAGA chuds are a very large percentage of the nation. "Full communism now" leftists are only significant on the internet. Most Bernie supporters voted for Clinton. The purity testers are loud but there just aren't that many of them in reality.

Vasudus posted:Pelosi needs to step aside because she represents one of the richest congressional districts in the country, has lovely opinions, and has failed to adapt to the changes in the country. She's a lovely centrist obsessed with decorum, just like Schumer. She is most assuredly a good speaker in the sense that she can control the caucus and such. Which is literally the job of the speaker of the House. Ideological purity is not the job of the Speaker of the House which is why Paul Ryan is so bad at it. He's a Randroid dream come true, but he can't control his own caucus so he was a bad choice for the Republicans.

garbage. Steve Inskeep/David Greene wouldn't shut the gently caress up about the poor rural Trump voter during and after the 2016 election. Pushing the blatantly bullshit "Economic Anxiety" excuse that has long since been debunked. Though to be fair, the rest of the mainstream media was just as bad about it, but I found NPR's coverage to be especially annoying because they would do humanizing pieces on literal racists and nazis and generally nothing on the, you know, actual minorities getting hosed over.

maffew buildings posted:All this makes me glad I went to a highly respected school with cruddy athletics I went to a mediocre state school with mediocre athletics that everyone went nuts for anyway because it's the only school in the state with athletics worth mentioning. Because ROTC was my only chance for going through school without debt. I should have just taken the debt. mlmp08 posted:I didn’t attend my university for sports reasons, but the beauty of the campus, reputation for having cool cultural events, ethnic food, live music, parties, etc all definitely played a part. One could argue that’s stupid, but meh? I have a liberal arts degree and a science degree and the NCAA needs to be burned to the ground. That Works posted:I love football but college athletics are a horribly broken thing that needs to die. While I was at U Texas the athletic Dept recorded an all time profit record for schools nationwide, bringing in over $220m and we're doing a $6m renovation to the football stadium. Yeah, when I was an undergraduate my school was also spending something like $10 million on renovating the football stadium and $50 million building a new basketball stadium while in the middle of hiring and wage freezes for actual academics. Vasudus posted:I think a lot can be said about the rigor of the coursework that college athletes have to do, what with them being away all the time. But not by me, since I'm just a nerd that reads too much about too many things to have any domain expertise. But I do recall a bunch of articles from teachers complaining that athletes miss a huge amount of classes and they basically have to design a second curriculum with the expectation that the athletes will pass it. Or they just are told to make a second curriculum that is total bullshit, which means that the athletes have phony degrees that nobody will take seriously after they blow out a knee and need to work in the real world. So big name college athletics makes the NCAA rich, makes coaches rich, and destroys young mens' bodies in exchange for a worthless paper. https://deadspin.com/ncaas-three-year-investigation-into-fake-classes-at-unc-1819441583 https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2015/02/18/athletes-take-easier-courses-fit-teammates-study-asserts https://www.stanforddaily.com/2011/03/09/1046687/ https://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/17/sports/ncaafootball/17michigan.html

A shop floor is a poo poo way to learn scientific or engineering rigour, you really want to be in a university or college being bollocked by someone smarter than you. And in general really good people need both experiences, because god help you if you try to do anything complex and you haven't. Well yes but training people is expensive so the taxpayers and students should be footing our bill. - Tech firms

Crakkerjakk posted:Like, if livestock were just free range grazing and eating waste scraps of inedible parts of plants produced for people, no feedlots in sight, I'd buy it. But I'd guess that's also a world with like 5% (max) of existing livestock populations compared to how we do poo poo most places these days. Manure tends to have higher levels of heavy metals the higher trophic level you get. Human waste is not an ideal fertilizer.

Handsome Ralph posted:Holy poo poo. Lol, I just read this: Admiral McRaven posted:I'm often asked when I am sitting in various forums, and we start to turn to national defense and national security issues and somebody in the audience will invariably ask me what I think the biggest national security issue is, and my answer's the same every time: It's pre-K through 12. Which surprises them, they think I'm going to say North Korea or they think I'm going to say Iran. But the fact of the matter is, my biggest concern is: Are we educating the youth of America well enough so that in 10 years, 20 years that these young men and women will be great citizens of the United States, that they will be ready to come to college? That they will be ready to serve in industry and in technology? And I don't know that I think we have found the right answer to that yet. So the thing that keeps me up at night is making sure that the state of Texas – or hoping that the state of Texas – and the nation is investing in our pre-K through 12 in a way that will put our young men and women in a position to be successful.
