finding out people dont usually add numbers by first adding something to make a ten (for example 7+6= 7 plus 3 is 10 plus another 3 is 13) & that its actually an adhd thing is the WILDEST shit literally ive lived like 10 years (or however old i was when i learned to add and stuff) thinking thats how everyone does it. what the fuck

[cabronallorona]

What

[aqueerkettleofish]

It’s also an autism thing, apparently.

Oh yeah! This is also part of why autistic people/people with adhd struggle in math classes. Our brains process math and numbers in a totally different way. Many people on the spectrum struggle with the “show your work” part of math because we can’t exactly tell you why it works/how it works. We just kinda do it

[donnerschildkroete]

I do shit like that all the time and I have a degree in mathematics

Sigmund Freud: All men secretly REALLY REALLY want to have sex with their mothers

It’s the Oedipus Complex

Oedipus: (Who literally gouged his own eyes out and killed himself when he found out he accidentally had sex with his mother) I’m sorry it’s the WHAT complex

[msbriket]

Oedipus: has a very traumatic experience

Freud being a Man™: you must have wanted it

[cleothegoldfish]

It got better

[donnerschildkroete]

the fact that Freud came up with the concept of projection is the greatest irony. what's that? everyone wants to fuck their mom? but whenever you assert that, everyone around you says they don't? well then they actually do, but secretly, obviously. and what's that you say? if they don't get to suck on their mom's tits enough when they're young they develop an unhealthy obsession with oral stimulation? and you died of oral cancer caused by non-stop cigar smoking? yeah, must be everyone else who's fucked up.

Even funnier thing to imagine: resurrecting Diogenes too and telling him that “Platonic” relationships means not fucking, he’d probably laugh himself back to death.

[anarchomoop]

So I actually know the origin of this term because it came up when I studied Plato in my classes.  Basically, in ancient Greece it was a super common practice for teachers to fuck their students.  Like all the time.  It was considered a way for the student to “pay” the teacher.  Plato thought this was bullshit.  He felt that a student could not properly learn from someone who was truly only interested in having sex with them.  He didn’t fuck his students and derided those who did.  Other teachers who refused to fuck their students were said to have “platonic” teaching relationships with them – so named because they were following Plato’s example.  So the reason it’s called a Platonic relationship is because Plato was heavily anti-teachers-fucking-their-students and it’s one of the few things he was ever even remotely correct about.

[donnerschildkroete]

the way I heard it was that Plato did a lot of work on perfect geometric forms -- like perfectly round circles and perfectly flat planes which aren't achievable or observable in the physical world -- and so platonic became a synonym for perfect or ideal. and then a couple millennia later the Christians came along and said you're not allowed to fuck anyone unless you're married to them, and therefore the ideal, or platonic, way for two non-married people to have a relationship of any kind is to not have sex

Jobs be mad at you for wanting to leave the time they scheduled you to leave

[donnerschildkroete]

I've actually had the opposite experience, where every job I've worked was so unwilling to pay for overtime that they would rather have me leave early than run the risk of giving me a few extra cents for leaving a couple minutes late. which of course means if I ever needed extra money and asked for overtime hours, I would have been denied

[donotusetheinternet-deactivated]

I’m sorry. Quick survey.

When you type a single capital letter, perhaps because you’re using proper syntax or need emphasis—just one, not a string, one such as “I” or any proper noun—do you hold down the shift key as you type this letter, then let go of it and proceed as normal? Or do you, as @watsonarchetype has told me he does, tap caps lock, type the letter, then tap caps lock again to turn it off & then proceed?

[femcassidy]

my method works actually if you type very fast and are extremely good at words so its understandable if you use a lesser more archaic method

[pbkdf2]

hey watson youre very very wrong about this one, although i have met several people who use your method throughout my life

[femcassidy]

joan of arc was twenty when she was burnt at the stake too.

[donnerschildkroete]

I used to do caps-letter-caps when I was first learning to type because they would score our accuracy and words per minute, and I would often let go of the shift too soon and not capitalize the letter, or let go too late and capitalize two letters, and going back to fix those mistakes would wreck my score, and also stretching from shift to the middle of the keyboard was tough with my little second-grader hands. the caps method took hardly any more time, if any, left very little chance of errors I would need to go back and correct, and didn't require any stretching.

UPS Teamsters ready to stage America's biggest strike since 1997, with solidarity as the main sticking point

Unionized UPS Teamsters – 260,000 of them – are set to strike in the biggest American strike since UPS’s unionized drivers walked out in 1997.

Superficially, the issue is about the company moving to seven-day delivery, but the issue that’s forcing the strike is the sizable cohort of union members who are unwilling to accept a two-tier workplace where established workers get the full protection of the union and younger hires are given a worse deal. This has been a traditional way that employers have split, weakened and ultimately killed their workers’ unions – by buying off the long-established employees with better deals that make the workers who’ll replace them feel that unions have nothing to offer them, which establishes divisions that can be exploited later to lay off those higher-paid workers, leaving only the lowest-paid employees and no union they can use to press for better pay.

It seems like some of UPS’s Teamsters have figured out that solidarity pays.

https://boingboing.net/2018/06/06/divide-and-rule-2.html

[grison-in-labs]

Yo, if they do strike, don’t listen to the media bitching about those workers being uppity or what the fuck ever. Transit and shipping is a increasingly huge industry in the US, and the Teamsters should be cheered on and congratulated for demanding solidarity and support for junior workers–formal union members or not.

If you’re waiting longer on Amazon packages or whatever, of course, that doesn’t mean you can’t complain–but frame your complaints to aim at UPS management for failing to treat its workers well and negotiate, not at the workers themselves. In this Second Gilded Age, that’s the only way we’re ever going to see any kind of improvement from the exploitation of the nation by the uber-wealthy–and UPS certainly qualifies.

Solidarity, motherfuckers.

If you scroll back to January, I called this on this blog. Granted, I had inside information.

Thing is, this isn’t just for UPS. This is the largest labor contract in all of the Americas. This is so very important symbolically. This is for all of your unions too. Join the Teamsters. Just shut this shit down.

[elfwreck]

How to support a strike:

1) Don’t cross the picket line to use the service/buy goods.

2) Stand and march with them, if you can - if you have time, if you have energy and the ability. Even a little while helps.

3) Bring snacks; bring coffee; bring supplies appropriate to the location and weather: sunblock and water for a summer strike; extra pair of gloves or a scarf to give away for one in winter; rain poncho if it’s wet, and so on. Basically, look at where the strike is happening and ask yourself, “If I were camping in these conditions, what would I need?”

4) Visit if you can; tell them you support the strike. Honk to show support; smile and thumbs-up as you walk past on your way to school, and so on.

5) Don’t buy any of the corporate lies about how strikes will cost you money or make your life worse - they do this “play the workers against each other” trick where they tell YOU that those OTHER WORKERS are the ones causing you problems, not the corporations that refuse to cover decent health care for everyone that would allow you to pay higher prices for shipping. Remember:

The guy making $12.50 an hour who’s striking to make $15 an hour plus dental is NOT why your UPS shipments cost so much.

weird how the income of the CEOs is so closely correlated to the stock market. but of course the super rich earned everything through hard work, not by just raking in investments seeded by their wealthy parents.

Reblog if, at some point in your educational life, you have gotten in trouble for reading a book that ‘wasn’t assigned to you’ or reading ahead in a book you were given in class or reading under your desk
