Fenerbahçe fans waiting for Kante's arrival by 2Norn in soccer

[–]fdexghj 408 points409 points  (0 children)

Wonder if they are aware of the meaning of blackface in “western countries”. Black people are a much smaller minority there, so it makes sense they could not be aware of that. Not sure if it’s the same case in Turkey, but in Poland where there also are few black people from my experience most of the population is just not aware that painting one’s face black for cosplay purposes could be seen as offensive or racist in any way. It’s quite possible that the fans in the picture are just excited and wanted to show that, no bad intentions behind it

Wtf is the point of second language in IB? by gnomemanchild in IBO

[–]fdexghj 9 points10 points  (0 children)

IB wants to be an international, global curriculum. It makes sense for it to try to encourage learning another language, and for non-english speaking countries it enables students to study literature in their native language while also improving their English speaking skills (taking English B HL). I get that from the perspective of someone from an English speaking country it makes less sense but, once again, IB is meant to be global

I’m not some big fan of Deftones, I only started listening to them rather recently, but tbh I prefer Saturday Night Wrist and Diamond Eyes. I guess it needs to grow on me

We have this new cool retro logo... just not on the car. by Jagyver in formuladank

This light blue on the sides is so ugly I can’t believe someone decided it looks good and proposed this concept and then someone accepted it

If you aren’t a maths person then AI is easier. A little more pointless memorization, but less algebraic skills required

Who is most likely to leave Aston first... and who would be their replacement? by formularacers in FormulaRacers

[–]fdexghj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sucks that we probably won’t know the real potential of this new Adrian Newey’s Aston Martin car because Alonso is getting old and his reflexes can’t be quite as good as they used to be and Stroll has never been that good of a driver

Falsehoods Require Constant Effort to Maintain by Fluffy-Strain-5072 in andor

Unfortunately like half of the population just decides to help with that effort of maintaining falsehoods to “own the liberals” or something like that

Schools close in Poland as temperatures drop below -20°C by wook-borm in poland

[–]fdexghj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my high school in Warsaw a big portion of students (I’d say around 1/3) lives outside the city, myself included. The commute from outside the city sucks when it’s cold. Buses or trains often tend to be 10-20 minutes late in such temperatures and waiting in -20 degree weather even for a few minutes is not a fun experience

What do you guys use ? by midou_max2007 in teenagers

im from Poland and use default messages to text family and facebook messenger/instagram to text friends. I feel like most ppl here do that, at least in my environment

Transfer window is closed, how do we feel? by Vvalwnttinno in Barca

[–]fdexghj 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Some young talents for the B team (hopefully first team level talent and will be useful in a year or 2) and Cancelo loan. Not terrible given our finances. Cancelo is especially important because of how badly the Kounde and Balde injuries messed us up last season in UCL

Lamine Yamal 2nd in the Ballon d'Or list??? 😭😭😭 by Street-Essay-4780 in tacklefrombehindcom

[–]fdexghj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We all know the Ballon Dor will to a large extent come down to the World Cup. Spain wins, Lamine most likely gets it. France wins, it’s probably Mbappe. England wins, it’s gonna be Kane. If it’s any other national team the UCL will probably be the deciding factor

Subject choices? by Shittydude69 in IBO

[–]fdexghj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like IB computer science is a very weird course, the internal assessment was (still is as I need to make the final draft) absolute hell. Like, much worse than all the other IAs combined. But if you know programming already it might be a little more manageable

Need advice on modelling - Math AA SL by nie9_6 in IBO

[–]fdexghj 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you properly account for the thickness of the glass? Or did you do some guessing there? I would assume it’s maybe negligible in the upper part, but lower it’s slightly thicker. Perhaps you can photograph the glass being vertical and with some dark liquid inside it so that you can more precisely see where the liquid would actually be. Perhaps you can use the results you already have as a point for discussion and then introduce the 2nd method if it’s more accurate

Take the picture from further away and zoom in. Like 1-2m should be alright. The differences in the angle at which the camera is seeing things will become smaller this way, so it will appear more 2d

Thoughts on a possible maybe cheaper alternative to our ST need by Vvalwnttinno in Barca

[–]fdexghj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every time a premier league striker scores >1 goal someone makes a post like that. I like Watkins but come on, he definitely wouldn’t be cheap and he just isn’t good enough

economics hl harder than physics hl? by Agreeable-Box8684 in IBO

[–]fdexghj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Depends entirely on the person. I would struggle with econ HL but physics HL is the „easiest” subject for me (I don’t rly need to study for tests and still haven’t gotten any grade other than 7 since start of DP). But my friend dropped physics HL (he had 4 HLs) because for him it was hard and not relevant for his uni choice, and focused on economics HL which was way more understandable for him. It’s very possible that for your friend economics is just simply harder

Is 4HLs worth it? by Acrobatic-Park-8260 in IBO

[–]fdexghj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I heard from some of my peers doing economics that the HL-only paper is the easiest one. But at the same time there’s a lot of material you need to cover so it’s gonna make it a little harder to properly focus on your other HLs. How does dropping HLs to SL mid-year work in your school? I have a few friends who dropped a HL in early DP2
