the stars tell the truth

hmm
the article this person has linked
about education spending
is from june 2013
and in reference to education spending
to think that "hurr the US spends more per capita" == "not underfunded" is a joke
how many other countries that spend less per capita are plagued by parasitic corporations bullying school boards and institutions into using their books, materials, etc. for an outrageous price?
not to mention
how much of this "spending per capita" goes to the people who do the teaching?
superintendents make between $125k and $190k
but they aren't doing the teaching
no they aren't
money provided, especially by an organization or government, for a particular purpose
you are referring to money provided
yes
you are not referring to the actual purpose
taking 2014-2015
Total expenditures included $11,734 per student in current expenditures, which includes salaries, employee benefits, purchased services, tuition, and supplies```
im not seeing the point you're trying to make
Total expenditures for public elementary and secondary schools in the United States in 2014β15 amounted to $668 billion, or $13,119 per public school student enrolled in the fall (in constant 2016β17 dollars).```
tl;dr
the core part of education
is underfunded
public schools are grossly underfunded
and make up the large majority of schools in the US
ok now go look up a country you think has well funded schools
and compare the per capita spending
nah
you're not listening
you're just talking about per capita
and ignoring where it actually goes
no no no
when I say
"education is underfunded"
I expect that I'm talking to someone that has more than a 2nd grader's knowledge on what happens to funding when it goes anywhere
compared to?
itself ??
why do we have to compare to other countries
no other country is as shitty as the US in regards to corruption of the education systme
it was your idea to compare
sounds like the issue isnt the funding
and the only thing you're talking about is "hurrrr my per capita"
its the corruption of the education system
arguably
both are problems simultaneously
pump more money in and it offsets the weight of the corruption of the system
because you're giving into it
while
if you remove the corruption
the problem is also lessened
I feel like you're seeing a "one solution for every problem" viewpoint
it would be more effective to alleviate the corruption, since you get to also save money
that sounds like a pretty awful way to fight corruption
especially considering funding for public schools mostly comes from state/local governments
which are often short on cash already
targeted assassinations
because it sounds like you're trying to choose which hill I die on
I can understand that the problem is corruption without switching my focus completely to removing it
"Education is underfunded" is the easy answer
ofc
But it's not true at all
Because it's more funded than almost every comparable country
there is not "one solution for every problem"
So the issue objectively isn't funding
public schools suck just make education privatized so it becomes a competitive market
wow i got destroyed fuck
i would be interested to see how privatizing schools would turn out tbh
but it is risky
yeah
wdym
i dont think that many schools are gauged, i cant think of any in my local area that were
fuck auto correct gouged
i mean the public schools where i grew up were godawful
just because certain schools buy from different companies doesnt really mean they're privatized
So everyone who had the means just went to private schools and got a great education
well im canadian im not sure what its like in the states
I guarantee over 80% of public schools in the continental US have their books published by mcgraw-hill
and if I'm wrong
well
yikes
i only used mcgraw hill for the first time this semester
my schools where all fine, i live in a large suburb in the states. we had newish books, well maintained campus, lots of classes and teachers
people not well off enough to move out into a suburb to go to nicer schools
its a problem that compounds itself
well if you actually look a lot of the time its cheaper to move out and live in a rural area than a city
yeah and you got to find a new job etc
a lot of low income people can afford 1200 a month for expensive rent in the city but cant afford the 2k to put down on a new place or pay for a security deposit
kid got shot and killed my freshman year
every year after that there was their fair share of drama
(rhymes poggers)
If a guy in your class kills himself you can claim youre traumatized and skip the year in France
lol
I did that ππ»
you can do that in the states too, might take a lawyer or a doctor though
Lul
Idk
Just stay in your room a week
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
Not a lawyer but a doctor yes
I had to go to a (idk how you call that and wonβt bother to search, you know the doctor for mental health) but tbh it was worth and I had to go for something else too
psychiatrist
I tried to talk to a counselor in my 8th grade year
and got publicly berated in the office
mental health in the us pls : (
yikes
that is unfortunate, but not all schools in the states are like that. my counselors were very qualified and helpful
although i didnt need them very much
didn't say they were
just relaying my experience
and the experience of many
"not all x are like that" shouldn't excuse the ones that are like that from being how they are
Not all men? Keepo
sure but also you cant assume your case is the norm
:c
o.O

i forgot fists of fury also

normie-topic
I missed the deucation topic D: But I wanted to say that in our country (austria) you pay nothing for education, including university. Only thing that you pay is a very nominal fee for books and stuff (β¬20 a year). But we have this thing in europa thats called the Pisa-Study, that consantly rates how good kids are educated in different countries. Funny about that is that schools go out of their way to pick the worst students to participate, so it looks worse then it is and they get more money.

gcd changes really made me think about when to use dps cds
or basic utility
now it is
5 billion iq
6.022*10^23 IQ
imo the difficulty of the raid is too high and the difficulty of things like warfronts is way too low
it takes a lot to explain and it isn't an easy position to defend but I think it's the right one. I think the majority of players should be able to pug the raid. It's not that difficult for me or many of us that are here I imagine. Ideally I don't think lfr should exist.
it's why we are at a state where you can't join a group unless you have things like aotc because it's assumed that everyone is retarded and incapable
i just think that normal heroic and mythic are a little harder than they should be
And where do you think that assumption came from
because the content is too difficult for the majority of players
I dont even take people with curve if im gonna make a pug, so many people buy a boost
Content is not to difficult, players are just incapable of doing the content
yeah if i take a pug i just check their warcraft logs to make sure they didnt boost
Either that or have them link some decent m progression
H ghuun is a very simple fight if people do their research for example
I take issue with the idea that you have to research a fight before hand as well. learning by playing is pretty much gone
all we do is execute guides anymore
Because its innefective
it's less enjoyable
Yeah? You have to adapt while raiding still
not really
anyway, you said the content isn't too difficult the players are just bad
they aren't going to improve. content could always be harder. I just don't think the difficulties are in the right place
since the recent changes to mythic, i think the difficulty curve is a lot better
I would like to see more difficult single player content. like mage tower but even more so
I think raids have more going on than they should in general
we might get that content later on in the xpac, that sort of stuff is usually released pretty late
like the chromie thing was kind of fun as well
I liked that more than most of the legion raids

did you not do it?
if you found ways to speed run it your first few attempts it was quite fun
overpowering it with the progression it gave you was less satisfying
you have been clapping your entire life
Even if you study the fight beforehand you will have to adapt through the fight
There are still random factors in every boss
Like mother's lasers
Or getting this debuff while a certain mechanic is going on
of course. I just meant that in general everyone has to research a fight before hand and pretty much know everything without taking swings first because the content is made in a way such that you have to read
i dont find it an issue to spend 2-5 minutes before a boss to learn how the fight goes
tell that to all the people in pugs
you can't change them
but you can change the game
dont pug
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
also you can change them and you cant change the game
you are backwards
I don't have 19 friends available whenever I want
rip me
are you sure about that? sounds more reasonable to me to make game design adjustments rather than adjust the mindset of thousands of people
you as an individual would have a MUCH easier time convincing a pug to read the journal for 2 minutes, than it would be to convince the game designers to change their philosophy on raid design, espeically when that design has been louded as the best part of the game since forever
I don't think this convo is really getting anywhere. it's fine you disagree with me
and no, raids used to be a lot easier
I challenge you to find any single person that progs with 19 friends
didn't mean friends friends, but the point was you are pugging most people you play with unless you have enough connections
even a lot of people in guilds are essentially pugs

Church Lady (Dana Carvey) discusses the election with her guests, Sen. Ted Cruz (Taran Killam) and Donald Trump (Darrell Hammond). Get more SNL on Hulu Plus:...
Snl, where comedy doesnt go to die, it goes to be fucking cremated
Theres so few
good sketches from snl
I can count them all on 1 hand
from their entire like
253984327489349084 year run time
Exactly
i dont understand why ppl like it
Modern mainstream comedy is so fucking neutered and pathetic. It just appeals to popular politics and news cycles
Doesn't offer anything other than saying "Haha have you heard about this? I have the right opinion too Haha wink"
i don't think i agree with expanding that to all mainstream comedy
more just basic cable tv is very neutered
like before his issues louis CK was very mainstream and I'd say he was anything but neutered
bill burr too
snl has always been super hit or miss
Happy to have started a discussion
ur gay

i've never really been an snl fan tho
i only watch it when there is a musical artist i care about
or a host i think is cool
yea
Old George Carlin was good. Then he got all lame
carlin got more and more angry/nihilistic as he got older
I think the joke police just suck the life out of people
It just happens to be the left atm
Yeah but why
I thought this was a very interesting read
Don't agree that pc-ness is a smoke screen at all
These people hate comedy
Being offended is a currency on college campuses
have you ever listened to the podcast called cumtown?
Nah
you should give that a try
i think its a really good example of how you can still be not politically correct at all
while still being funny
and progressive
and be successful/popular doing it
Well the thing about pc ideology is that it is ever encroaching on things
i do think a lot of the comedians crying about PC culture are just old and out of touch but thats just me
What's not offensive to someone today will be tomorrow. It's all about what connections people decide to make
i think it is important to draw lines on what is and isn't okay to say though
Even the Simpsons writers know that
its a natural ebb and flow i think
hmmm
Absolutely nothing
I think that in comedy nothing is off limits, but what you say still has to be funny if you get what i'm saying
No one has to think what you're saying is funny, if people think it's shit then they'll say it's shit
like saying offensive things for the sake of being offensive isn't funny
but if you are saying offensive things because they lead to something comedic then go for it
Daniel tosh said that in his comedy central stand up and I respected him so much for that
and again I think cumtown is a really good example of that
they are very offensive
but a lot of what they say is pretty fuckign funny too
I think if you look at twitch streamers like destiny he is kinda in that lane too
a lot of what he says is offensive/shock jockey but it isn't necessarily just for the sake of being so
Sometimes it's fine doing it for the sake of doing it. It just sucks whe that's the 1 trick strategy
ye for sure i'm not a fan of shock jocks
Well yeah it gets boring
i think that comedians have a ton of space to be creative right now though, way more now than in the past
My only issue is with the joke police
the internet makes it so you can find an audience for anything
idk for me I spend more time focusing on things I enjoy
Everything is free game otherwise you're doing damage
than worrying about what others don't like
the internet allows for so many different creative avenuyes
that weren't possible before for comedians/musicians/artists
sure there are some downsides cuz people definitely face more criticism now
but its still a net positive imo
like look at chappelles latest specials
they aren't PC at all
and he definitely caught some flack for the shit he said
but they were all still pretty successful
and he wasn't cancelled because of it
as long as you are funny and what you are saying isn't deeply problematic it still works otu
I would like to see more boundary pushing. I don't like the current state of things. People need to understand that everything is funny and making limits is what really divides us. Anyway I need sleep
i'd just say that being offensive isn't boundary pushing
its just being offensive
anyway, good night
the best is yet to come
