That kind of felt like clickbait. The widespread efficacies of multi-modal learning and retention strategies don't really debunk the notion that learning styles exist. Some students have significant discrepancies between their various processing abilities, and that absolutely affects them in school. While certain methods of teaching are likely to work better across the board for specific subjects (e.g. using maps in geography), I expect students would still experience different outcomes with those methods, depending on their learning styles.

Video from one of the most respected science explainers on YT:

"Learning Styles was a hypothesis from some random teacher that was spread without ever being tested. When it was rigourously tested, there was no evidence it was correct."

This guy:

"I fail to see how this debunks learning styles"

Last I checked the evidence of that gene relating to aggressive behavior was very mixed to begin with, never mind second order associations.

Yeah, I should also say, the evidence is pretty overstated by the author of the studies, according to articles and analysis I found as well.

Well, I did do my on research, and what I found is:

MAO-A is real. Low activity mutations of the gene can produce anti-social behavior if they are expressed by environmental factors, i.e. abusive or violent upbringing, extreme stress, ect.

There were several studies I found on a quick search that found no link between MAO-A and race.

Multi-modal approaches (Combing text/words and with images or physical experience) are nearly universally better than catering to the non-scientific "learning style" approach.

Eh, I reserve the heat for shitty people. Marth is a pretty much unabashed pedophile who has gotten at least a half dozen accounts here banned for his shitty behavior. He's also fairly close-minded and egocentric. I'm not going to have any patience if he's going to start wallowing about how his self-centered thinking is wrong.

Marth, the reason why my experience is a valid counter-argument is I'm not trying to prove a negative, and my argument isn't trying to invalidate the experience on literally millions of gamers who enjoy competitive random matchmaking games. To be frank, I shouldn't need to teach you why just because you don't like something means it shouldn't exist, especially when there is abundant evidence that an unfathomable number of people do enjoy the thing. Especially when said thing doesn't negatively impact you in anyway if you don't choose to interactive with it.

These are things you should have learned from your parents. As a child. Or in kindergarten. Or really at any point in your life prior to right now.

Random team ranked matchmaking killed the fun of online games and it seriously needs to go away.

Ranked modes should require players to form their own teams and never provide randomized matchmaking. Casual random matchmaking is fine without rankings, because winning and losing doesn't matter there.

The best solution though is to just play 1v1 games, where skill is the only deciding factor for winning.

This sounds like a you problem and the best solution for you is to only play 1v1 games. I want to play with teams of randomized players around my skill level, and I want others to have the option to play with pre-determined teams.

Let me clarify:

TC for starters clearly doesn't have technical knowledge about music in general, as he misuses the term "flat" in what little nonsense he did post. It's fine to not know about things, but to have such strong opinions on subjects you clearly have no knowledge about is just ignorant and foolish. Then again, people who behave like this typically have little sense of shame either, so make of it what you will.

Frank Sinatra had fine pitch. He was not "flat". I also hesitate to call him a "crooner" just on the basis of how "big" and resonant he would often make his voice, but that's neither here nor there. Personal preference.

Music casuals try to categorize vocals by their "quality" but this just isn't really a theoretically supported organization. The first and most prominent issue is that the "expectation" of a vocal performance even on a casual level tend to vary greatly between genres and, even more so, between different musical cultures. However, some of the most famous singers of all times became famous BECAUSE their voice ran contrary to the standard expectations of the time. Music is an inherently malleable and creative medium, and it's not artistically beneficial to hold rigid ideas about the way something "should" sound.

So, is there definitive ways we can say a voice is "good" or not? Well, in a very limited sense yes. If someone is trying to hit an B5 and failing, then the performance is not good. The voice failed to meet the intent of the singer. This may be an absolute physical limitation or something that can be resolved through training and practice. It can also be resolved by not trying to sing B5. A common trait of nearly all music traditions is a concept of consistency and repetition. It's what most easily can distinguish between just a cacophony of sounds and music. If your voice cannot achieve consistency, then it's lacking in an almost universally accepted and measurable quality. Even this may have rare exceptions, however--Extreme vocal performances like screaming could qualify as singing in the context of a genre without the need for consistency.

With that said, that's about the theoretical limit of measurable study. If someone's pitch is correct, then the rest of the performance is merely the vocal style--The subjective parts of a performance. In this way, the voice is no different than any other instrument. They have different timbre, ranges, dynamics, attacks, overtones, ect. You don't say a trumpet is a bad instrument just because it always has a "brassy" sound. You don't say a nylon acoustic guitar is a bad instrument just because it has a warm sustained sound. The voice is an instrument. The instrument is a tool. It's the purpose of the craft man to match the correct tool to the correct job.

For the record, shitty tryhards who blame everything on their teammates are way worse than casuals. People like TC are the type to tilt themselves at the slightest disadvantage and ruin any chance of a comeback. I can say with absolute certainty that they negatively impacts competitive matches for basically every game ever more than "casuals".

Oh, also,

4. Who gives a shit. Really. What is the ideal spaghetti length? Is your brain spinning some gears right now? It's probably something like, "How long is my spaghetti? My spaghetti is one box long. That box is, like, one forearm. That's... uh, like, 14 inches? 14 inches!" No, not 14 inches.The real answer is you didn't know because you actually don't give a shit. If it twirls around fork, then it's spaghetti. Instead of having a normal reaction of "Why do I care that the spaghetti is shorter", people think "That's different than what I do! That's wrong! Oh my god it's DIFFERENT and WRONG!". Because this is social media, so at any moment you gotta be prepared to crank up those histrionics like Steve Harvey hearing the word "penis" on Family Feud.

Social Media pays people in attention and validation for changing their values and behavior to match something that provides greater drama or entertainment for anonymous masses. It's a broken feedback system that does not encourage critical reasoning, self-examination, or individuality. It encourages rampant conformity and as broad umbrella content as possible. This means as minimally intellectually stimulating and narratively simple as possible. It's shameful shit, and the worst thing is is that this is all common knowledge in the social sciences.

I agree that the show and manga had pretty weak world-building and characters and was mostly held up by good action. Not to mention a fairly amateurish handling of a lot of basic story conventions--They want us to believe that our hero has forged this incredible bond with the Flame Pillar when they've literally spent, like, 6 hours on a train together. Then they kill him. They tell us about his sister's untapped potential to develop her skills without human blood, then she does nothing to develop them and she's not even involved in the fighting of the final arc. So many examples of stuff like this where they've failed to earn something, or they fail to deliver on something.

The issue was whether he intentionally cheated or accidentally left on mods he used for his other content production (Which forms the bulk of his content, to note). It's likely he unintentionally cheated, which is just gross negligence.

I think people largely confuse "being antagonistic towards" a discriminatory system like systemic racial or sexual discrimination with "supporting and upraising" the affected groups. People who conceptualize social progress as a inherently belligerent process are part of the issue preventing improvements in society.
