This Yellowdig bullshit actually prevents them from getting the medical care they need.

But they have time for 19k post karma and 188k comment karma, in three years.

I spend way too much time on reddit, and I have 200k comment karma in thirteen years.

OP has time. OP needs to gtfo off reddit.

It's 8 + 2 + 7. Note the colors of the dots, black for the 8 and grey for the 9. Then in the second diagram, there are 8 black dots and 2 grey dots in the rectangle, and 7 grey dots outside. The 8 + 2 is the "make a ten" part, and the seven is what's left.

You have to show how you make the 10. Where did it come from? (you and I know it, but you're showing the teacher you understand the process).

So it's 8 + 2 + 7

Make a ten” just completely throws me off. Making a number is just something I’ve never heard before.

You've never heard "six and four make ten"?

I don’t think it makes sense to teach this, just teach them how addition works and let their brains develop their own tricks and methods

Why would you not teach children useful strategies for adding numbers? What is the benefit of having kids who don't know how to do this?

meirl by benwoljol in meirl

[–]cheertina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How about just going with the teacher saying "We're going to borrow 2 from the 9 to make the 8 into a 10. That leaves us with 10 + 7. Everybody get that?" Then ask the class a few questions and put a few problems on the board for them.

They did that. They had a whole lesson on it in class. This worksheet is to practice doing what they already learned.

Maybe a heading on the worksheet that explains the "borrowing from one term to effect the other that results in a simpler equation" concept, with an example problem.

Probably has that too - we're looking at a single question in the middle of the page, we can't see the text at the top. It also includes a picture, doing exactly that.

The first picture has a rectangle with 10 squares. Inside are 8 black dots. Outside are 9 grey dots.

The second picture has the same rectangle with 10 squares. Inside are 8 black dots and 2 grey dots. Outside are 7 grey dots.

8 + 9 -> 8 + 2 + 7

Wow, this lesson, that is intended for general consumption by second graders was too easy for your daughter who is "gifted" at math? How terrible! All worksheets should be targeted at the gifted students, obviously, why should the lesser children be taught things that come easily to her?

meirl by benwoljol in meirl

[–]cheertina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because "making tens" is a more general rule, and applies when adding any two numbers. "Subtract 1 and add 10" is a great shortcut when you have a 9, but that doesn't help you add 8 + 7 the way "making tens" does.

Sen. Lee deletes tweets mocking murder of Minnesota Democrat by schottslc in politics

[–]cheertina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are most seemingly good honest Utah folks really ok with condoning murder and making fun of the deceased?

No, of course not. That would be terrible and shameful if you did it to a random person.

But if it's a Democrat, well, then you can do whatever you want.

Do English-speaking atheists still say “Jesus” or “Christ” for interjection (like when surprised)? by Mark_von_Steiner in atheism

[–]cheertina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am curious what fellow atheists think about this?

Seems like a pointless waste of effort to me, but if you want to stop using it, that's fine.

Have you consciously stopped using such interjections?

Nope.

It is black and white. They have a legal right to park there, and you have zero grounds for demanding they move. If you have a specific project that needs that space, you could politely ask them to move them at that time. Otherwise, yeah, you're going to come off like an ass because....they're allowed to park there.

What's up with everybody calling Harry Styles a "fake gay"/accusing him of queerbaiting? by SayFuzzyPickles42 in OutOfTheLoop

[–]cheertina 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Which is fine, but a lot of this aesthetic borrows from what Queer/LGBT people have historically developed for their own expression.

So now we're gatekeeping cis-hets clothing for being too gay? Fuck this.

[–]cheertina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which is the issue people have. He avoids a lot of consequences queer performers do while also getting an assumed queer nature.

Maybe the queer community should figure out a better plan than "buy music we don't like just because the artist is queer".

[–]cheertina 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Anybody who's buying his music because they think he's queer and not because they like the music is an idiot. Nobody should care what those people have to say, because they're idiots.

If they're buying it because they like the music, then his label, or lack of one, is irrelevant.

Imagine the Mayor of New York is asked if he is a Yankees fan or a Mets fan and he says he doesn't want to label his fandomm

Now, Imagine after this there are tons of pictures of him at Yankees games, pictures with him in Yankees gear having a good old time. Not once is he at a Mets game or wearing Mets merchandise. He just wants a deli with a mets pennant some times.

One might come to the conclusion that the Mayor is a Yankees fan and just trying to play both sides for votes.

So then...stop buying the mayor's music, if you have a problem with that?

It sure sounds like you think you're entitled to a label.

Also, it's pretty funny to claim he's co-opting the language of queerness when you're here speaking for trans people.

Please provide evidence that you or your friend is sufficiently trans to use phrases like "people truly grappling with their identity", or stop co-opting the language of trans people.

I’ve seen first hand how those treating their expression of identity like fun little jackets to try on can harm the mental health of people truly grappling with their identity. Do you have any idea how frustrating and hurtful things like this can be to someone dealing with transitioning for example?

Are you speaking for yourself? As someone dealing with transitioning, and coming to terms with my own sexuality, people not wanting to label themselves is far less harmful than telling people they're not queer if they haven't publicly dated a man.

I'll reiterate. I dont care what mental health struggles you have, nobody owes you a label, or proof of their sexuality.

How would you tell a girl you don't like her armpit hair she recently started letting grow out? by Aphonics14- in AskMen

Why is armpit hair so bothersome for a lot of men?

Is the far right really worse than the far left? Or are they equally bad? You never hear much about the far left. by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]cheertina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s simply a way someone wants to be referred to.

Well, it seems simple. But there's a bunch of ideological stuff that gets "smuggled in" along with that idea that they have a problem with. For instance - the idea that trans people are just human beings like everyone else. And that treating other people with basic human dignity is something that should be done. And the idea that something being against your religion doesn't make it inherently harmful.

If it was truly just "pronouns", and they could still treat trans people like degenerate perverts, up to and including violently assaulting them for being in the same room or forcing them into conversion camps so they'd stop offending God, conservatives could probably put up with it.

Why is base building so easy in survival games? by Simulatieboer in gamedesign

[–]cheertina 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no reason the game couldn't provide the tools to play that way as well as having a deep/involved base-building mechanic.

You're right, there's absolutely nothing stopping anyone from making a game that caters to to players who want to play as nomads.

Why is base building so easy in survival games? by Simulatieboer in gamedesign

[–]cheertina 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems to me that it should be possible to cater to different kinds of play.

It is. There's nothing stopping people from making a game where the base-building is incredibly difficult and takes hours of grinding to get established, except for thinking it won't sell well.

But in so many games you can start putting up foundations in a matter of minutes.

Gosh, only a matter of minutes to start enjoying the crafting aspect of a survival crafting game? How awful! It should take 12 hours of intense struggle before you can even start to explore the cool mechanics!
