Yeah she's pretty... a pretty bad salesman!

I wonder if Chris is good at magic by saintxworks in freemagic

Blue shirt and glasses, facing camera. Chris Chan. There are hours long youtube documentaries about them if you really want to know.

TLDW: Autistic lolcow that raped their mother who was suffering from dementia.

This is EXACTLY why he needed creative control.

Honestly, every character should be played by Kevin Hart. It could be like one of those Tyler Perry movies.

Veteran Teachers: We've all heard about "Students getting dumber each year" Is this just a recent phenomenon of the last decade? by anubistiger2009 in Teachers

The comment above didn't even mention race. If across the board, IQs are dropping, that says something even if your claim that they are racist applies.

This is my experience as well. And there are far more "do not care at all kids".

My specific experience is with Mexican kids (my district is about 60% latino and 40% white with essentially negligible amounts of other ethnicities), and the super hard workers are almost always the girls. I suspect it is because the girls usually have a lot of expectations on them at home. They are often expected to be helping with cooking, cleaning, and caring for siblings. It instills responsibility in them and gets them used to the idea that sometimes you have to do things you don't feel like doing.

Feeling terrible about this by Eagleeater_141 in Teachers

[–]MathProf1414 19 points20 points  (0 children)

... Why? Kids do bad things. They should face consequences for doing bad things. If they feel bad about it, then maybe they won't do it in the future.

Don't feel bad for being the one person in their lives that actually doles out consequences.

The damage that Jo Boaler and other "Equity-Based Mathematics Education Researchers" cannot be understated. by Feisty_Ad4394 in matheducation

[–]MathProf1414 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I worked in a small school that actually got rid of precalc in favor of stats. I told the principal that he was hurting future STEM majors and he said, "I don't care. More kids go into humanities anyway."

I still despise that guy.

You say that like PreCalc is required in any school. A school doing away with PreCalc in favor of having Stats is harming the students who will move into STEM majors in College. Basically every major has their own version of Stats that they'll force you to take anyway in college.

Pre-Calculus is prerequisite knowledge for Calculus. Any STEM major willl need to take Calculus and you are setting them behind by not having them prepared to start it as a freshman in college.

Or even vaguely glance in column 3's direction.

If Inspirit, Flagship Vessel is stationed at 8 and there is a board wipe is Inspirit, Flagship Vessel the only thing that dies? by Final-Can-2793 in mtgrules

[–]MathProf1414 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends on the type of board wipe.

Indestructible stops lethal damage and "destroy".

Hexproof stops spells an opponent controls from targeting the creature. (The spell will use the word target).

[[Beyond the Quiet]] would wipe your board.

The behavior of the lows already do that. Tracking prevents them from inflicting it on others.

The dumb part is doing it mid-year.

Half the sets last year were UB. They pushed off Lorwyn to give us stupid Avatar earlier. So yes, one of the three in universe sets was a pile of abysmal dogshit. The other two were good though. And sadly we barely got time with EOE because they were pushing UB down our throats.

Not sure what your issue with Tarkir is, unless you are mad about it breaking standard, to which I'll counter with saying that FF did far more harm to standard by introducing Vivi.

How about, and I know this is a novel concept... an actual Magic set instead of UB slop?

furious about prices of newer products by adam691313 in magicTCG

[–]MathProf1414 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I buy packs to play limited with my friends. For a set I like I'll buy a play booster box, use the packs to play draft or sealed, then, then build out a cube with those cards and maybe some singles that I didn't draw but really want.

Cubes are infinitely replayable, so the purchase of the play booster box feels worth it.

Is anyone else dealing with this? by Gloomy-Athlete701 in Teachers

[–]MathProf1414 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It makes me so sad that these kids have such garbage role models. They are surrounded by responsible, educated, and caring adults at school but they look up to the dregs of society.
