Lurker > faramir77

I might go to a party, but it's on the other side of town and we got a few inches of snow yesterday combined with freezing rain. The dumbass city I'm in refuses to plow the roads because it's supposed to melt by Wednesday.

Bad road conditions combined with streets swarmed with drunk drivers makes me want to stay home.

Kids dont learn shit by studying for tests either, they forget it immediately after testing

We need to do away with all the common core BS and let teachers actually teach again

I mostly agree, but we don't have "common core" in Alberta. Kids need to learn how to learn in school. Ultimately I don't give a shit if they know how to algebraically determine the roots of a quartic function. I want them to know what they need to do to tackle problems they've never faced before.

Asking Alexa or Google is an honest strategy for many problems in life. I didn't know how to fix a toilet that constantly ran, Google provided that knowledge. But Google won't help you in every situation, nor should it.

Back to testing, the biggest evaluative threat to teachers like myself are diploma exams at the end of 12th grade subjects. I think in the US the equivalent are called SATs? They seemed to be designed by statisticians, not educators, as the very wording and layout of them baffles me. Yet I more or less have to teach to get results on them. Because of the strange layout, and how extremely dense the Math curriculum is, the most efficient way to teach is to match the quirky layout of the exam.

Teachers hate it because the kids aren't learning shit. They're just asking something else to solve their problems for them. And if you think that's all well and good, remember that PEOPLE have to develop that software in the first place.

I had a conversation with a fellow high school teacher who was worried that we'd be replaced by online programs within the next 2 decades. It will never happen. You'll never guarantee a student is learning without an in person connection.

No. Prices went up just a couple years ago for the first time since literally the 80s. Given inflation we're paying much less now than we did in the 80s and 90s.

If you're finding it too expensive to buy games, perhaps you should consider either buying less games or reevaluate your work-play balance.

My suggestion is to buy the dlc if you havent and immediately start over with Master Mode before you get too invested in your current save. The game becomes exponentially harder and makes you dive into the stealth and cooking aspects right from the getgo if you want even a chance to survive. Its not for the feint of heart though!

Unfortunately you have to start over and cant simply upgrade your current save to the harder difficulty.

Master Mode was disappointing to me. The plateau at the beginning was tough. The rest of the game wasn't much different from the regular mode. I expected more.

This topic makes me want to play through BotW again. Phenomenal game.

It was very unexpected just how challenging the game was. Early game is probably the hardest part, but even later in the game you'll be shocked when you're OHKO'd with 16 hearts or something by a strong enemy.

My advice? Look up nothing. Just explore and discover stuff on your own.

Yes, in 2010 I dated way out of my league. She was kind of unintelligent, though. She's now a divorced single mom.

Took me a while to figure why she left me, since we'd been really good. She left me a few days after we had a conversation and I told her I wouldn't even think of having kids before 30. As time went on, it all started to make sense.

As somebody who didn't vote for Trudeau I've been pleasantly surprised with most of what he's done. For a lot of people it seems to be the opposite, but it feels like they're just buying into the right wing meme.

I'm not the biggest fan of Trudeau either, but nearly all of the outrage against him comes from fake news and sensational bullshit.

Trudeau is in full support of the pipeline. Construction has been halted due to red tape. I sympathize with the protesters on that alone, but pressing politicians isn't going to do much. The Conservatives would have had the same issue.

Our politicians don't dictate our oil prices. Alberta is too small to have that impact. All the blame for our current downturn should be pinned on the PC party that ruled for 40 years but allowed foreign oil companies to pillage our resources with minimal benefit to the province. There is zero reason for Alberta not to have a multi billion dollar savings fund from 40 years of prosperity.

Our only hope now isn't our dying oil industry, but diversifying our economy. But it's probably too late. If oil ever bounces back, we'd be insane not to invest the benefits in our future. Oil is not our future.

It's both awesome on their part and extremely sad on Konami's part that they care so much more about Metal Gear than Konami does.

I don't know where you learned to read, sir. But that's not the case at all.

I'm calling the guy an A-hole for not making good on a promise and even dropping it for a while to work on a different project altogether before actually implementing said feature. That's it. I actually love the game. Sorry I'm not sucking his penis hard enough for you.

Why are you so angry lmao

You're crying that it took 2 years to implement something very few people cared about. In the meanwhile he's won several awards because the actual game he made was really good.

Breath of the Wild felt like the series finally made it to the current gen. The world felt properly connected, there was a real challenge, and the game didn't feel like you were restricted.

The weapon system was bizarre, but it really reminded you how vulnerable you were. It helped further encourage using stealth to get by, rather than fighting every enemy (although, the difficulty of enemies should already do that).

Easily the best Zelda game yet, finally dethroning Ocarina of Time in my opinion. Hopefully this is where the series heads from here on.
