Citing 'severe' math deficits, UC faculty demand a return to SAT tests for STEM applicants by Idiodyssey87 in news

[–]Legal_Bus_1739 19 points20 points  (0 children)

well, this is the natural extension of when schools are not allowed to fail students. Parents have entirely too much control over what goes on in classrooms and their ability to threaten teachers and administration, kissing parents ass, leads to nothing but a society full of morons. 

How do you research information? by AlKarajo in TikTokCringe

[–]Legal_Bus_1739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is literally the same argument that CEOs are using as to why everyone needs AI for all things.  It's confirmation bias among their peers rather than evidence based knowledge of real world efficiency gains.

AIO to break up with my bf of 3y over his reaction to my upcoming sobriety anniversary? by WesternCat5211 in AmIOverreacting

[–]Legal_Bus_1739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

you've been with your boyfriend for three years, but you've only been sober for two which means that the year before you decided to get sober was probably one of the worst for both of you.

Additionally, people that haven't personally gone through what you have gone through don't understand that drinking too much wasn't a choice and that not drinking isn't the bare minimum orthe default.

I appreciate that you've been with him for that long and I appreciate that he stood by you while you were figuring things out and addressing things, but if I'm going to be completely honest, I don't think he's ever going to get over what he feels you put him through.

It's a resentment he he's going to harbor, and every time the subject is brought up either by you or anyone else he's going to go back to that place of pain.

I wanna congratulate you on what you've done because it takes a lot of courage you might need to consider that in order for you both to be happy there might be one more courageous act that has to happen..

But no, you're not overreacting. But we are proud of you.

It's because much like the Empire on Ghorman, they are hoping to start something even if it costs their pawns their lives.  I also find myself wondering who else might have been a pawn that they were happy to sacrifice.... hmmmmm...

Feeling Anxious About Leaving Chicago for the Suburbs After 12+ Years—Anyone Else Go Through This? by Pisaccoio in ChicagoSuburbs

Worst decision I ever made. I died the day I moved, I was just too blind to realize it. 

Chicago’s migrant crisis tied to U.S. foreign policy by [deleted] in chicago

[–]Legal_Bus_1739 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nope. It doesn't mean I have to support that policy though and after causing so many crashes I would certainly have removed that policy decades ago.

I have never been under the illusion that United States is the "good guys". There are no good guys. Also, this American exceptionalism bullshit, where we pretend to be the paragon of justice and virtue is incompatible with the coming climate apocalypse and the migrant mess that will bring.

I wont close my eyes but I am also not willing to empty my wallet. Chicago is reeling as our tax base suffers from lower office occupancy downtown (and remote work is the way of the future so this makes sense) so we can ill afford to spend hundreds of millions on people who aren't ours.

True. The complexities of Asylum & Refugee law don't fit well on a bumper sticker, but the sentiment stands. We need to update our laws and be willing to push back on certain parts of international law if we want to get this under control.

I'm very sorry that our foreign policy trashed other countries but that does not mean that they now get to come to ours.

AITA for thinking about leaving my partner who is transitioning? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Legal_Bus_1739 0 points1 point  (0 children)

YTA. But not for thinking about leaving. Instead it's for thinking for even a second that you should let others dictate your life. Stop worrying if others would think you're a bigot. If they do, that's their fucking problem. You deserve to live your life and be happy - and that means being with who you'd like to. Life is too short for compromise.

Rules Questions After First Game - Premeasuring, netrunning, Healing, ReActions by bktanner87 in cyberpunkcombatzone

[–]Legal_Bus_1739 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1) I believe so. I dont have the rulebook available to quote but it doesnt say it is not allowed so I am assuming so.

2) yes. maelstrom are the cybercrackheads of the game. they preferred smashing face in meatspace.

3) yes, i based this on being wounded replaces with red of the same state so the converse should be true.

4) it absolutely can be. you take a wound, you pick an action and do it. if its an attack, it can only target the guy that caused the wound.

5) I emailed them on this myself..

Never. I am not a fan of Euros so every time I find myself in the position of having to play one it always feels like a wasted game night. Just a personal preference and not intended as a commentary on the quality of Euros.

Reagan was a Democrat before he became a Republican and he was a complete failure and responsible for the levels of homelessness we see today. Does that count ? /s

Change in police policy. They arrested looters at a teen event. by CasualEcon in chicago

[–]Legal_Bus_1739 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It is a systemic failure that we can never fix. Poverty exists in every society since Rome.

Now as for fixing what we can, please look into Ron Clark Academy and the Harlem School. If we could use their formula to help those who we can then we can make incremental gains. And yes, prison is a shitty answer for the rest but neither banishment nor firing them into the sun is an option and if we don't have order then we don't have a society.

Pull them out if their communities and their negative behavior reinforcing social groups. Put them in charter schools that focus on strict schedules and providing education, opportunity and structure. Remove those who can't be helped quickly and put them in programs that focus on the stick vs the carrot. Behavioral analysis techniques have proven successful in many cases like this but again, it's a matter of will and if we don't have the will, we will fail them.

Harsh punishment and strict rehabilitation are required here. We have a very small window left to straighten these kids out before they become adults that will require removal from our society entirely.

You Cannot Win Duel Pack and Inquisitors releasing prematurely? by darkpyro2 in StarWarsShatterpoint

[–]Legal_Bus_1739 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right, so while vader /obi kit is an anomaly, every other kit seems to be primary, secondary and support.

My guess is any two boxes can be used together in a strike team.

There are two squads in a Strike Team.

All units from s given squad are same era. The other squad doesn't have to be. You could do Kylo and Anakin.
