You know how Ross says that humans don't act like cartoon characters? I don't know, my jaw literally hung open for a while and I couldn't speak for a good minute at seeing this. It's more school stuff, so if you don't care there's your fair warning.

Takes me down a few notches when I get too irrational even for the internet? His eyesight's not too keen, so I can't say that, but a couple of times he's said some things that made me say "oh, right". (I'm gonna be a real challenge to find something positive about!)

I wonder how much publicity that no doubt completely artistically motivated cover not at all baiting the group that society has collectively blueballed for the last 40-odd years generated. On topic: cmw6kJIaH6A

It's not literally about when they decided to teach idioms. It's this whole "the school is useless" thing, that's only symbolised by the idioms. Kind of like "hands up, don't shoot" is to "let's kill cops".

Thanks for the tip, Diane Sawyer. What else, we've found electrons coming off of uranium?

No. Not this one. Those others are petty personal things, but this is a MAJOR PROBLEM. It's one thing for someone to like a movie with a plot based on swiss cheese. It's another for PUBLIC SCHOOLS, the things most people are required BY LAW to attend, to be SO INEFFECTIVE that it takes them THE LAST QUARTER OF COMPULSORY EDUCATION to start covering IDIOMS. You'd have to wonder how else they're doing as little as possible to teach as they can. It doesn't help that all you need to enter the honour roll is to attend school every 4 days out of the week. If my high school's curriculum is indicative of public schooling as a whole, then this directly affects a hundred million people. You're only in 9th grade dude, a lot of high school is just repetition of stuff you've already learned. As long as you're learning other high school level stuff, you really have nothing to worry about. There should at least be more than a third or a quarter of the class being new information. Do you know why China is doing so well for itself? Oh, sure, there's a billion people there, but guess what else? Their schools are notoriously "hard" and yet the children learned it all just fine. Meanwhile we have some of the laxest grades and most redundant, self-evident classes and guess how we've been doing for the last 60 years?

If you could give me a reason why I'm being unreasonable, then go right ahead and convince me.

I am in the 9th grade. The present tense should have been sign number one.

Why complain? Easy learning, easy testing, easy graduation. XD This is bigger than an easy grade. If this is indicative of the education system as a whole, and yes I was homeschooled, then HOLY FUCK NO WONDER the national average intelligence is slipping. An education system that acts like this could seriously endanger the country. It's not that the idioms themselves should be taught earlier or later, it's that THEY THINK SO LITTLE OF US THAT THEY WAITED UNTIL HIGH SCHOOL, THE LAST THREE YEARS OF PUBLIC, COMPULSORY EDUCATION TO CONSIDER US MENTALLY SUFFICIENT ENOUGH TO UNDERSTAND IDIOMS. IDIOMS! One of the basic parts of speech! I mastered that shit before Fukushima Daiichi melted down, and I've got the Concrete Think Disease, imagine a correctly functioning brain! That they think THAT leads me to wonder exactly WHAT they think of younger children and how they teach them! If the younger kids aren't being taught well, then how on Earth could they fare mentally by the time they graduate for actual work, or dare I say problems in life? Now that I think about it, a lot of the people in these college riots are recent high school graduates. Don't you think that maybe there might be a correlation with our fucking HORRENDOUS schooling and these stupid, violent people?

Poland.

I can NOT FUCKING BELIEVE that in my NINTH GRADE HIGH SCHOOL CLASS they are NO JOKE ACTUALLY TRYING TO TEACH ME WHAT A FUCKING IDIOM IS. How has the U.S. education system degraded SO FAR that they just ASSUME that a person who has been on the planet for FOURTEEN FUCKING YEARS might not have picked up that sometimes people aren't literal? Don't give me that other languages shit either. Spanish has idioms. German has idioms. Fucking BELARUSIAN has idioms. But the schools now are either SO ABSOLUTELY FUCKED BY POLITICAL CORRECTNESS that they have to artificially increase overall grades or feel the wrath of litigious soccer moms, or they really think that little of students that one of the most FUNDAMENTAL ASPECTS of LANGUAGE is something they should be learning in their TEENAGE YEARS. It's an absolute insult to the intelligence of anyone who has been breathing oxygen for the last six years of their life, let alone FOURTEEN. Fucking hell, you'd think they'd KNOW this since at one point they WERE fourteen. This must be the best proof I have that the education system here in the U.S. is absolutely FUCKED. HOW on EARTH does this happen?!

You're right, eight examples is better at proving why yellow and red mix as well as sprite, motor oil, and Bruce Forsyth's ageing seed as a colour combination than one is.

"You know, I'm so glad I finally realised red and yellow didn't go that well together."

Obviously you've never been hit with one of these.

I know of Blaire White, but no straight transgenders personally that I know of. I only pretty much know one though, and I haven't talked to her in a year by now.

I know they aren't, but hey, has that ever stopped someone from calling someone fictional a bitch? I've heard many, many people call Daisy Buchanan a bitch.

Hera must be the biggest bitch known to mankind. First she forces a baby out prematurely so that Zeus's plans are spoiled. Fair enough, he did cheat on her. But no. Then she tried to kill the bastard child. Then the bastard child, Alcides, who was going to be king before Eurystheus was popped out, became her punching bag. 20, 25 years after Zeus cheated on her, she decided to have him kill his family in a psychotic breakdown she sent his way as payback, which caused him to become Eurystheus's slave essentially and undergo the 12 Labours. And then around 2000 years later the Walt Disney company puts the blame for all this shit onto Hades because why the hell not, let's cast this guy that doesn't deserve this into the villain role because he's the afterlife's gatekeeper and as we all know anything relating to death must be evil unless it can be directly paralleled to Jehovah.

"Today, we'll model an equation after a real-world scenario." Cool, what're you thinking? 'What's the maximum height of a ball going to be depending on how hard you throw it, if you throw it vertically'? 'How will the price of a brand of meat rise through the period 1901-1911'? "Based on the price (b) of books, and price © of CDs, find out how many books Peter buys, and how many CDs." Just fucking ask him! That's not something intensely personal like 'how big's your dick' or 'how many new pimples do you have today', it's just how many books he bought at the store! "If adult tickets to a film are $96 and kid tickets are $340, how many adults are there, and kids?" Why do you care? You didn't go to the film, and if you did you wouldn't need to ask because you'd already know! This is probably why I don't like doing math homework, it's too detached from reality and I end up focusing more on the braindead 'real-world scenarios' that they give out.

I don't know how long it took, I didn't make it. And besides, would you put 30 hours into a HUD for something that wasn't even going to be released for another year? And no I'm not stuck in the 1990s; my PC was built in 2007. It even has XP SP3 on it, for God's sake! That probably wasn't made in the 1990s! The reason I use 1280x1024 monitors is because most of the things I do on computers is either writing documents/PDF reading (82%), drawing (4%), or old gaming (14% of the time).

That 'hud' looks fake, and put together in 2 seconds. It is there. ik8nUVcKgng
