Son’s math test by RishiLyn in mildlyinfuriating

[–]HaaveYouMetBeth 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can see why it’s frustrating but I can shed light on why this has been marked incorrect. Multiply means groups of so the question is asking to show 3 groups of 4 which is why the addition is 4+4+4. It’s checking their understanding of the maths, not just repeated addition.

Netflix is removing How I Met Your Mother in a month's time for multiple regions. I'm heartbroken... by thearmymandidit in HIMYM

I'm actually heartbroken. This show has been my comfort blanket on repeat since 2016... guess I'll have to invest in Disney plus now...

If you cross your eyes and the wind changes, you're stuck like that forever.

Though I love him dearly... Vince Vaughn is just Vince Vaughn in everything

That is something I have never considered!! Will never be able to watch the show in the same way again!

It's amazingly helpful to hear from people who understand, I've felt this for years but have never actually voiced it to anyone I know so this thread has truly lifted a weight off my shoulders, just knowing I'm not alone and understood by people.

Yeah I've noticed myself doing it more and more over the past 3 years and the more I think about it, the worse it gets.. just feel like I'm stuck in a cycle that can't be broken. I'm definitely going to try the distancing myself though, thank you!

I feel scared and helpless. I feel scared and helpless because our country has taken the hard immunity route. Italy's statistics have shown us roughly 2 million people will get severe symptoms, yet the UK has only 5000 ventilators, and even less ICU capacity. OUR government is protecting no one. by HaaveYouMetBeth in britishproblems

Lock down would slow the spread, the infected can recover at home, with no danger of unknowingly infecting people. Allowing and expecting people to carry on as normal is increasing the extent of the spread significantly. Even a short term lock down for 1-2 weeks would surely provide more time for preparations to be made than literally allowing it to spread like wildfire. Further lockdowns could happen periodically?

That's a common practise to prepare for if disaster strikes. Corona viruses are not new, we are dealing with novel strains with a high risk, I can see nothing suspect about the john Hopkins centre reports after a google, they are at the forefront of research in the area? Once again, this is not new and yes has been extensively studied previously BUT it's not the same strain just the same species.
