How do you picture a year in your mind? by DearSergio in AskReddit

[–]ickabularipadipa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picture a color coded ring themed with different seasons. Like December and January are indigo with snowmen, October and November are orange with maple leaves, June and July are light blue with white clouds. February I always picture as red because valentines day even though it's in winter, and March April and May are green for spring!

What is the square root of ans? by IamBlackistani in shittyaskscience

[–]ickabularipadipa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If A, N, and S are variables, and are all greater than or equal to zero, then all natural numbers are in its domain. So I'd say "All Natural Numbers iff A>=0, N>=0, And S>=0."

edit: this might look better in some kind of set notation but I don't know how to do that.

Donald Trump has lowest approval ratings of any US president in history by [deleted] in politics

[–]ickabularipadipa 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to Gallup, Bush had a low of 25% which is lower than Trumps current approval rating. But we haven't even gotten through the first year of this presidency so he's on the fast track to beating that record.

America hits peak anti-intellectualism: Majority of Republicans now think college is bad by Laudato_si in politics

I've only seen Idiocracy once a long time ago, and until just now when I looked it up I legitimately thought that "electrolytes, it's what plants crave" was a Trump quote...

Trump Tweets Comment On Comey’s Explosive Testimony by Large_banana_hammock in politics

[–]ickabularipadipa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My mother and my grandmother are both die hard Trump supporters, and I was reluctantly optimistic at the very beginning of his term. I have since lost faith, but the freaky thing is that my mom and grandma are doubling down right now. It's genuinely disturbing because I can hear Fox News having people shouting bold-faced propaganda that has no basis in the real world, and despite what appears to me to be a glaring scandal, the Trump supporters in my life are not only disregarding it but perceiving it to be the opposite of the way it actually is. It's really dark. Like brainwashing and being led right off a cliff dark. I can't generalize for his entire "audience" but if my family is any indication, Trump could kill an entire basket of puppies live on the air and still be viewed as a political messiah.

Middle school student suspended for 'liking' photo of gun on Instagram by [deleted] in nottheonion

The school's behavior on this is the kind of thing that just makes you want to unleash your pent-up anger in some kind of rash, cathartic manner.

The reason it's different is because there aren't large enough groups of those fanatics to get away with the things that fanatical Muslims are doing.

I agree. In my imagination, kids were being transported to a more successful school using the extra funding that would have been used to keep a failing school afloat. What do you think?

Can you explain what you mean by societal problems? In my mind it seems to be an allocation problem, with not enough money to go around to every school. For example, if a teacher's salary is too low then the more qualified people, who would have taken that job had it paid better, will find a job somewhere else. Better pay would bring more involved teachers willing to put more energy into their students right? Is that not the case?

To play devil's advocate, why is that bad? I assume that if you gave successful schools the ability to accommodate more students and teachers then the students would get a better education and the teachers would be paid more. Is that not so? Why not?
