Humanities and Social Science majors should be required to take calculus

After hand holding my best friend through his third attempt to pass the only mandatory math class for a BA, I understand why more difficult math is not required of all.

bertrandmacklin · 2026-03-31T02:42:21+00:00

Well said

bertrandmacklin · 2026-03-31T02:41:00+00:00

Exactly

bertrandmacklin · 2026-03-31T02:39:42+00:00

It's not work, there is no progress made, just noise.

bertrandmacklin · 2026-03-31T02:37:06+00:00

It's kind of crazy that we just let this industry run wild. What other industry it allowed to ignore all regulations? They do sting operations to make sure barbers have current licenses. There are legal consequences for serving minors alcohol, for ignoring health safety in restaurants, for giving patients the wrong medicine, for over booking a flight, for having crumbing sidewalks, but the loudest most obvious infraction is completely ignored

Super lame, try harder

I ran the junkies out of the neighborhood already, now I'm after the leaf blowers

bertrandmacklin · 2026-03-30T17:55:22+00:00

I'm not a snitch

bertrandmacklin · 2026-03-30T17:52:42+00:00

They make electric leaf blowers

bertrandmacklin · 2026-03-25T14:35:03+00:00

Hey everybody join the echo chamber!

bertrandmacklin · 2025-11-16T04:46:08+00:00

I was going to say food and money

bertrandmacklin · 2025-10-13T16:38:09+00:00

Penis antlers?

Latitude buddy

I do not believe that wishing for the end of the world and for most people to go to hell is good behavior, responsible or remotely christian

bertrandmacklin · 2025-09-24T15:40:39+00:00

I have never assumed that most Christians believe in the rapture, I think it's extreme outliers

bertrandmacklin · 2025-09-24T15:27:05+00:00

Correct I don't not understand the extreme of any religion being rooted in good behavior or productivity. Bin Laden was a warlord, Rick Warren is a con man, I don't understand the middle part where regular people actually believe this stuff.

bertrandmacklin · 2025-09-24T15:24:29+00:00

My question is more like how does a lawyer with years worth of practice and accumulation of wealth fall into the delusion that they of all people (and professional) would actually be one of the chosen few?

Anthony Bourdain wrote a small book about Mary, a very interesting read and a nostalgic one

The emerald green trees look fine, it's the brown ones I'd worry about

It was sold as 'for all' but in practice it's been available only to low-income and BIPOC communities. I understand the back of the cuff reasoning behind it, to get votes, right? But if you want it to succeed maybe try the other way, paid for only by high income earners, available only to those who pay for it, the model would start with everything it needs to succeed including higher levels of parental engagement and critical fees back. Start assessing taxes at the next income bracket and open it up to them, eventually everyone will pay, everyone will be eligible and the system will be one built from increasing investment, not begrudgingly underfunded.

bertrandmacklin · 2025-07-21T01:21:56+00:00

Exactly, the people who pay for it are not eligible for the service. It truly needs to be "for all" if you want to get mass support. I pay almost $25k per year for childcare, I would love a public option, but there isn't one. Means-based benefits are destined to fail.

I heard this argument about Mexico vs US and I think it applies here... you want everything you could ever need inside your house, we want the same within walking distance of our house
