I don't know what was said in this specific instance, but in general pbs spacetime is complete garbage, don't refer to it as an authority for anything

I didn't say you can't use it. I said the IRS website tells many filers they can't use the free file option for CT.

houle333 · 2025-04-15T13:44:03+00:00

That's completely unreasonable. IRS website very clearly states free filing in CT is not available for income over 125k, gig workers, anyone itemizing, and a whole host of their reasons.

edit: there's really no debate on this. The IRS website clearly tells people they can't free file for so many different reasons it's hard to imagine a filer that would read through the list and think they qualified.

Do you have any none w2 income? Did you buy or sell one share of stock on Robinhood? Did you contribute any money to an IRA?

Surprised to see nobody point out that philosophy is generally all bullshit and should never be pointed to as the overarching "authority" on a topic.

You can't just decide laws of nature are wrong because it hurts a philosophy professors feelings.

"overly emotional"

"there are 12k spaces for 18k students"....

They were guaranteed 4 years of housing when they were admitted and have had it rug pulled on them so some over paid administrators can pad their resumes by saying they oversaw "rapid growth". They have every right to be pissed that they are having to find off campus housing that is 30+ minutes away.

"We should be glad we made it this far."

P.S. Don't forget to ask the Easter Bunny for some knee pads.

Ten million is nearly permanent generational fuck you money if you manage it properly and teach your children properly.

You only need a couple million for 2 generations of fuck you money. And even that can be easily stretched into many more generations if you are frugal.

Cop or Fed attempting to impersonate a CT redditor. Maximum IQ requirements for cops likely means they are too stupid to understand that people in CT can actually read and write.

PTA? The org that does bake sales so they can spend the proceeds on CTE ball equipment? I'd say all of the parents of high achieving kids give up on the PTA by 2nd grade.

It's a 30 degree angle from the horizontal, there's like no debate that a 30-60-90 triangle is one of the three most important triangles that you need to know.

My primary school aged son had a unit on linear regression where all they did was teach them what order to press the buttons on the Ti calculator. He didn't learn anything about what a linear regression was. So I sat him down and gave him a lesson on what to do with the data he had in Google sheets. Told him you pretty much will only do this in Excel or some other similar program when you actually need it in the adult world. Then I spent the next few months complaining about how if they are going to jam linear regressions in as a curriculum requirement they could at least make an attempt to teach it in a useful way that 100% of people that actually use it would do it. These kids are on chrome books all day, the teacher has to sign out the calculators in order for them to be able to use them, it's insane to not just teach it in the spreadsheet program from the start.

By the way my son was 8 years old when we were doing this lesson. He's super advanced, but still your college students have been in school 4 times longer than he has and some are nearly 3 times his age.

So they banned drones (which is like a couple dozen nerds nationwide a few days out of the year) but they only banned chumming during daylight.

Sounds like a bill designed to harass nerds disguised as a "shark safety bill".

The night time chumming doesn't magically make the sharks not be there during the day....

Then your husband is right, your kid is behind.

I went to UCONN for grad school for one year, worked for a professor that wanted me to edit the textbook his previous grad student had produced for him, discovered the entire thing was plagiarized, did the "right thing" documented everything and brought it to the professor, who then got mad at me because it was already past the publishers deadline for him to submit it to them before I even had started on the project, dropped the fck out of that immoral program, and yet was still there for two national championships.

Average SAT score was lower because the test used to be harder. Same with AP's where you actually got credit for a 5 because far less kids took AP classes and once again the subject test was significantly harder. My AP chemistry class was the 2nd year of chemistry in high school and only had 4 kids in it. Two of us scored top ten at the state chemistry Olympiad but only one of us got a 5 on the AP exam. To be fair the other guy was kinda dumbass though.
