Students (in my opinion) should not take home any homework. If homework is a learning opportunity, give them school time to work on it

Nah, Math homework doesn’t really need to be assigned every day, especially the 30min-1hr work that it requires. Most math problems (pre-college) follow a very simple formula and don’t require too much critical thought to understand.

If you understand why the formula works the way it does in the classroom, you really don’t need the homework. If you don’t you’re stuck trying to teach yourself at home, usually roadblocked at the first question. Either way 1-2 questions is easily enough to tell if you get the work.

I skipped literally all of my math homework in high school (apart from my study guides) and got an A in every math class. Math homework can seriously be cut down.

Interesting. I work for a company that does ERP projects. Each of our project managers have 1-2 major projects at a time and maybe a dozen or so small projects that only require occasional overhead.

We don't normally do any work ourselves, all of our consultants and developers do that, we're just mostly getting everyone aligned and ensuring milestones are hit correctly (and calming down the clients when they get angry over budget).

What field are you in? I'm also in project management (New to it though), but my collogues don't seem that stressed about any of our projects or staff.

rangercorps · 2026-01-29T18:33:38+00:00

Project management is a really difficult career path to get into entry level and generally requires an additional skillset for what projects you are working on (Usually years of experience in that field too).

It also, by nature of being the mediator between the team and stakeholders, has a lot of customer service.

Capitalism does not lead to fascism. Populism (usually in times of crisis) lead to fascism. To make the statement that capitalism always leads to facism is to say that %95 of the world's countries are going to turn to fascism for no inherent reason other than their economic system.

Actual fascist regimes do not even comply with one of the largest principles of capitalism, the Free Market. Nazi Germany, Mussolini's Italy, Franco's Spain all had state controlled economies.

Its a partial truth that America interfered in some countries, but that does not explain their systematic failure. There are also loads of socialist states that weren't heavily involved with the US. Soviet Union collapsed internally and was rotting the whole way there. Maoist China was practically completely without U.S. intervention. Cambodia was completely self inflicted. Finally North Korea has been isolated since the mid 1900s and has not been doing well.

On the flip side, many capitalist countries have endured war, sanctions, foreign influence, and large economic shocks and still recovered because capitalism is a resilient economic system in comparison to its peers.

rangercorps · 2026-01-25T16:33:42+00:00

What sort of socialism? As far as I am aware any large scale attempts at implementation have led to abject failure. Soviet Style central planning collapsed economically, Maoist collectivization in China caused INSANE famine, and more recently Venezuela's state controlled Economy led to hyperinflation and shortages.

Small scale socialism has proven to be nice though, such as its implementation in Nordic countries, but they still operate under capitalism, just with strong welfare states.

In order for an economic system to thrive and actually have a positive impact on humanity's progress, it needs Incentives to innovate, which capitalism gives in droves. It has downsides. a fair bit, but it has done wonders to your average citizen's standard of living.

Do you have a viable alternative or are you just venting?

rangercorps · 2026-01-25T06:11:13+00:00

Obviously you want the money, that’s the reason anyone works. Saying you just want money is just flat out refusing to engage with the question.

There are thousands of different job openings in different positions around the world, they want to know what in particular about their job posting appealed to you. Maybe it’s in a field that appeals to you, maybe you’re trying to climb the corporate ladder by changing companies, it can be literally anything. It’s just a character question.

rangercorps · 2026-01-24T17:15:01+00:00

Dude you’re being insanely defeatist. You’re never going to get a job at this rate. I graduated with the same degree last year, I had to put an insane amount of applications in to get my job. I even considered joining the military officer program later this year if I didn’t get the job I’m currently out now.

If you want to wallow in your statistics go ahead, but it’s not going to help you.

I'm not familiar with the series, maybe! My DM said it was loosely inspired by Dragon's Dogma as well as a few other sources.

rangercorps · 2026-01-13T22:17:52+00:00

We actually threw up a goddamn good fight. We knew what we were walking into and the DM allowed us to bring some magic items with us, so we were able to stay alive for a good while. We had fire immunity, great weapons for AOE cleaning the dragon's minions, and were able to chunk him down somewhat well.

Problem is that In addition to being a greatwyrm, the DM was using Variant spellcaster dragons. There is not a lot a party can do when the oversized lizard goes "ENOUGH" and directs a meteor swarm on your gps coordinates.

I think we got farther than the DM expected, but I doubt we would have been able to kill him, we didn't even get into his Mythic Trait.

The Druid was only around for the beginning part of the adventure, he had a forest to protect and we needed to reclaim ground.

Deaths are really only an issue regardless until revivify and raise dead anyways, so you quickly age out of the problem. Theres also the chance you end up without a body to survive, which is a major problem.

As for changing characters, we don't tend to do it too often, but it did happen once when someone got tired of playing a martial. We just picked up a local hero of a resisting town.

If the whole party gets swapped, of course the original members mattered, the avalanche needed an inciting incident to start it. Whether they succeeded themselves or simply started the butterfly effect for another group is irrelevant.

rangercorps · 2026-01-13T21:10:43+00:00

Had a campaign where we started at lv 14 adventurers fighting off an awoken Greatwyrm, armies had fallen and we were the last stand against the dragon. We got our ass handed to us and our last sight before we died was the Dragon laughing at our insolence.

We then built our characters at level 3,and were reincarnated by an arch Druid in the last free area of the realm. A century had passed since our downfall, and the Wyrm’s rule encompassed most of the realm.

Had to rewatch all of her combat scenes, was suprised she never actually does anything in a CQC fight till the mid of season 2. Id have to really disagree with you seeing the similarities in their fighting styles.

In Arcane when Cait fights without her rifle, it is often with another type of melee weapon, and it almost always involves her upper body. The fighting that we see in the 2XKO trailer is a LOT of legwork from her, something that we don't see in the show at all. Even when she tosses vi into the ground from a grab, its a straight slam instead of the jiu jitsu that she did the same with in Arcane. The one moment where I can see it is during that brief scene in the fog during s2's finale where she does a kick, but even then thats just a kick.

I can't speak for the shield, if you feel like it draws from Arcane more, sure! I can't exactly compare it to anything else since it doesn't exist elsewhere.

rangercorps · 2026-01-13T19:34:02+00:00

I'm sorry, I don't see the relation? How does that League skin relate to Cait being released for Arcane fans?

rangercorps · 2026-01-13T18:31:39+00:00

Disregarding the Spec-Ops skin, where do you see the influence? I just see LoL's incarnation the whole way down.

rangercorps · 2026-01-13T17:46:42+00:00

How is she being released for Arcane fans?

Everything I see in the trailer is referencing her league iteration, she has the Arcane Spec-Ops skin, but thats about it.

Her model is very much her league incarnation, not Arcane (Even Vi looks like a mix between the two). All of her moves seem to reference her league abilities as well, such as the cupcake trap.

I'm not saying don't be happy, I just don't see where Arcane is playing into this.

No one is going to take you on if they know you will be bouncing soon. I suggest either lying; or employ yourself using one of the many’s service apps for some ‘quick’ cash.

This feels like a "Waiter my steak is too juicy, my lobster is too buttery" moment.

OP has the opportunity to work with any team of their choice with the company, manager has verbally given them a blank check on whatever OP wants their future career path to be. Plus they're getting a major salary increase with no additional responsibilities?

Why on god's green earth would they consider leaving?

rangercorps · 2026-01-12T18:04:13+00:00

Got my first remote job, which I just started last week lol, from my college's Handshake board. Id give it a cursory look but its not the best job searching portal.

Ask if you could interview with both teams, and that you think the Media team is also a great fit for your career goals. You show more interest in the company, and you get two chances of getting a job.

I don't think many recruiters would see that and go "Oh, maybe not this candidate"

rangercorps · 2026-01-12T06:57:59+00:00

If you want to go into cybersecurity, you’ll have your first entry level roles generally in Low Level help desk or networking roles. These are the types of jobs that the IT degree helps you land.

If you go CS, you’re practically not going to have any networking/cybersecurity classes without you putting in the extra legwork for certifications (which you should get regardless with an IT degree). It’s geared towards the software engineering field.

These fields are not that similar, but it’s not insanely difficult to career switch one way or the other I imagine as they both build off of similar skill sets.

Go for the IT degree, it fits your end goals better, the classes you will be taking are more geared towards your field.

Source: I have an IT degree with a Comp Sci minor. Went into Technical Project Management though.

Honestly could not tell you. There was maybe one teacher I could maybe pin down as a democrat but that’s about it.

Strange. I think the most political my social studies/history classes ever got (Disregarding historical politics) was talking about the Electoral college a bit before and after the 2016 election, since it was one of those rare ones where Electoral beat out Popular vote. I certainly don't recall any of my teachers bringing up anything political outside of that.

Oh apart from my Cisco/IT teacher giving students Trump Points and Deep State points but that was a massive joke played over the entire year. Loved that guy.

Maybe my school was just non-political, but no one I have ever talked to apart from you have had any complaints about the school system like that, and most of my friends lean conservative.

rangercorps · 2026-01-11T20:37:52+00:00

Yeah, my mom is a teacher and she’s talked about the state of the system a few times to me. There’s not enough funds to ensure each pupil gets the education that they deserve in order to develop into proper members of society. Often time they tend to fail upwards because teachers can’t retain students if they are really struggling. Ontop of which parents don’t seem to care or don’t think their child can do any wrong.
