I agree mostly with your comment. Math class used to be called logic, because that's really what the general population is there for. Math is a vehicle to learn logical thinking. Those who become engineers or physicists will then learn how to apply those logic skills in their chosen field.

I disagree that history classes were mainly there to analyze evidence to make a point. We learn history, so that we can better participate in discussions, know where we came from, and learn from past mistakes. It's vital that voters have an understanding of history to prevent bad things from happening. Don't get me wrong, the main point about history classes wasn't learning exact dates, but to have a good understanding of the timeline and have a good grasp of major events in the country/world. It's that part, learning details about major events that I'm concerned will be glossed over with AI coming into play. How can you recognize a destructive political trend if you never learned why it was destructive in the past?

I think that's a British way of saying it, if I'm not mistaken

Really? I've never heard that and I'm in Texas

Even with his mental health declining, he's probably still against mental health care for US citizens.

The gender neutral for nephew/niece is nibling

Yeah, I went on a road trip a long time ago. I remember it was almost all highway with tons of cars without a good public transport system. They knew they were growing and could have held off the heavy traffic with commuter trains and a substantial public transport system.

Sure there's a system already in place in LA, though I'm sure there's room for improvement.

I imagine that it has to do with the age of those cities. They were established before cars, so the older parts were designed to get around easier. At least that's what I assume, because virtually all the cities with low car ownership are in New England.

The title could be cities with good vs bad city planning. All the green cities are designed to force people to use cars, because they made everything so spread out with little to no public transportation. The red cities are built properly with public transportation to help people get around.

Oh! You meant conservative hatred for the LGBT people. When you said "hate of the LGBTQ+" it sounded like LGBTQ+ people were doing the hating. So I thought the first half of your comment was about LGBTQ+ hate and the second half about conservative hate in a both sides hate kinda fashion.

This is the anti-sodomy laws wrapped up differently. SCOTUS didn't blink an eye during the Lavender Scare or during the raids on LGBT+ places and arrests of the community until Lawrence v TX overturned those laws in 2003.

Hopefully SCOTUS would strike this down, but I'm very doubtful that they would. A more entrenched R president is better for those currently on the bench.

They have shown through the end of Obama's presidency and during the end of Trump's presidency regarding empty SCOTUS seats, that they are willing to bend the rules in their favor. Don't forget some of these people were cheering at the thought of making Trump a king. These aren't reasonable, upstanding citizens we're talking about.

That didn't stop the US from becoming a major superpower in the 58 years after WWII when policies like this were in place nationally. It's the Lavender Scare all over again and the return of the anti-sodomy laws in different wrapping paper. Don't forget those laws were enforced until they were overturned June 26, 2003.

What hatred from the LGBTQ+ people? We just want to live in peace, sure there are many that are angered by the right and their continued assault on our rights. However we aren't working to constrict them.

In Texas, they would ask whether you want sweet or unsweet and you'd get a glass of iced tea. The closer you are to Louisiana, the sweeter the tea.

You have to specify hot tea, if that's what you want.

Concrete Genie also had some beautiful moments!

Video game

Horizon has some beautiful moments

Back in the day, I thought Oblivion and Skyrim had some beautiful spots although it may not be as impactful now as it was upon release.

Sagrada is a game where you are building stained glass windows and I think it's pretty.

I saw an article on lemmy about this yesterday, though not sure whether I'll find it again.

Hotels, flights, retailers already have an abundance of price discrimination. Target shows higher prices when your device is physically closer to a store and lower prices when you are further away. IPhone users tend to pay higher prices because they assume that since you had the extra money to pay for an expensive phone, you'll be open to spending more at other stores.

Likewise, if they see your device or other devices on your network/near you making several searches for hotels/flights the price will increase.

It's just another way to build greed into the system

Lol, you have to use fractional measures because each degree is further apart. I thought I had made that point. Sure you won't ever get rid of all fractional measuring in any system, but it's much easier if you don't have to use as much

I pointed something similar with regard to thermometers to a group of European tourists. In Farenheidt, 98.6 is the normal temperature and if you are getting sick, people will say that 99 is a low-grade fever. While that is a. 4 degree difference in F, that's only a .2 difference in C.

Likewise for weather, F is much more precise and easier to communicate given that there is a smaller interval between units. There's more than 2 units difference in F for every 1 unit difference in C. That's huge when you're talking about the difference between 38 and 39 C

I haven't seen a deductible that low in a very long time! As a teacher, I think our lowest deductible offered was 4 or 5K.

I had to read that headline twice, at first I thought it was specifying users on ecstasy. That's such a bad name
