I'm not that familiar with labor laws, but since its just one single location. Couldn't owners just shut the place down in they wanted to, and restart?

What I don't get about common core is it is how I do math in my head when trying to do somewhat complicated mental math. It is not at all how I do the math when I have pen and paper in front of me. It is a lot slower for me to use that method when the math gets too complicated to do mentally. I have to rely on the old method then. It feels like a crutch that makes things more difficult once things g et complicated and you get decent at math.

And yet the disparity in minorities in STEM is still directly harmful as the ones who are already in STEM or want to go into it often get screwed due to biases in the workplace and the fact that there's often no one there to stick up for them, making their jobs a lot harder.

On top of that, you get stuff like ethics in AI, where a lot of people's biases show in algorithms, which in turn, hurts minorities more. I've also heard there's a lot of issues with stuff like black health which wouldn't be as bad if there were more blacks going into biological sciences to do research in.

The question would be if the entire curriculum needs to change or if we just need to better fund schools and pay teachers what they actually deserve so that kids get the education they need and teachers can have the resources to give more one on one time with both students that are excelling and students that are falling behind. I have a hard time imagining how a particular curriculum in itself is the problem when it's probably more that these kids are not getting the attention needed to help them understand on the same level as better funded schools.

Could someone give an example of how math can be racist?

bunch of reasons.

1. "tried and tested" nuclear reactor designs are still based off the shit ones we came up with in the 50s.
2. no private company is going to sink the hundreds of millions and a decade worth of construction, contract bullshit, and running in the negative to try better "untested" reactors like LFTR.
3. there's no political will for state/federal funded and run nuclear because of the long running fear campaigns and the millions of millions of dollars fossil fuel corporations have sunk into lobbying against it.

still no where near solving multiple issues with fusion power, like reactor degradation or how to even turn that excess energy into usable energy to produce electricity. this is still the technology that is perpetually 50 years away.

Oh yay, can't wait for spreaders to get hold of this information and use it to justify not getting the vaccine.

Thought this would be about

They scratch different itches, for me.There isn't much in common between Sonic and Mario besides the fact that they were mascots of major console manufacturers. >_>

i agree if 3D sonic got better after SA1&2 it would be a different story

You think that's bad? Imagine having two puberties and the first one ruined your entire life?

There never would have been a Civil War if Democrats rallied behind 1 candidate. Kinda like Bernie bros didnt rally behind Hillary.

Connecticut sucks.

I have a friend who lives in Albany it's actually pretty nice and relaxed compared to the big city.

So according to TC, the US can only ever be compared to countries with similarly large economies.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(nominal)
The US is of course number 1 (at the moment)

Here are the countries that are similar to US in terms of economic power, according to TC. We are allowed to directly compare the US to these countries.

Here are the countries that can never ever be compared to the US, because they're just too poor. They barely have economies. These countries don't matter.

You gotta steer in to it. Think of Jesus more, his sexy, oiled body, his beard, his long flowing hair.

Expensive and it wouldnt be beneficial to the people in rural areas that will still require a vehicle.

Id imagine thats why it wasnt implemented in the first place. Really how many of these countries with great public transportation have anywhere near the surface area of the United States?

The taxes to build a public transportation system viable for any and everyone would eat into my paycheck as well. The money to build parking lots is a lot less than it costs to acquire vehicles, employees and infrastructure to support public transportation at that level.

Youre understating the value of the convenience of being able to jump into the car whenever you want. Its less time, its ability to transport more stuff at once, its less exposure to the weather. Youre also forgetting the fact that some people simply dont want to have to use crowded buses and trains. I really dont think a global pandemic is the best time to push everyone packing onto public transportation.

Not to mention it's really, really hard for women to get their tubes tied in most places.

For really sexist reasons often centering on "Well, maybe you'll want kids later/your husband will want kids/your husband will die and the new one will want kids".

The funniest/saddest part? A tubal ligation is actually completely reversable.
