That’s what I thought. You have no intellectual capability beyond name calling. Thanks for proving me right!

Fine, prove it. How am I racist? I’m all ears.

There we have it, the full force of your intellectual capacity. I hope you’re getting a nice long nap after all of that mental exertion.

I didn’t say that. I said:

There are stats and math, but they’re used misleadingly. Just because you can find statistics doesn’t mean that they prove whatever you want them to prove.

This whole idea that acknowledging that racism exists is the real racism is the laziest defense of white supremacy. I’m disappointed in you! At least the first guy brought some numbers and creatively ignored history to defend white supremacy. Step up your game!

blacks are arrested for violent crimes at an even more disproportionate rate, leading to more police encounters,

Yeah, if you could plan out your hours more intentionally like this, you could probably achieve the same effect without running into constant conflicts between the 100 minute units and normal human hours.

Interesting! That’s probably more effort than I’m likely to put into it, but good to know that there are upgrades.

When my old laptop crashed, iTunes on my new one didn’t connect with it, and I never managed to get it working (though I didn’t try too hard). It’s kinda fun though to have my workouts frozen in 2015.

I came here to say the same thing. I occasionally run with my smartphone, but it sucks and I really prefer the iPod, even though I can’t add or change the music on there, I have to use wired headphones, and the battery life is slowly getting worse. I still don’t understand how streaming from giant bricks made these…

I like Allrecipes because I’m not a very confident or adventurous cook and it’s nice to find simple straightforward recipes that don’t require asking multiple grocery store employees where things are or googling how to do half of the steps with alternative equipment. Also, it has ingredient search, so throwing things…

People were pushing to end eponymous disease names a long time before the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, but I’m glad that’s when you learned about it!

All great ideas, and it’s interesting how your perspective has changed in this exchange from personal grievance (“which would have required me to drive to campus to make the scan,” as if he could have known this) to all of this student-centered modeling and such. I know how it goes. Non-teachers eat up a story about…

I can see that. I guess I think of those questions (which I get at least once a day) as teachable moments and signs of initiative (why wouldn’t the teacher be a good resource for information and course materials?), as opposed to the students who just show up saying “I don’t have the book, therefore how could you…

I teach college composition, and I’ve seen a lot of the same problems and like the perspective. Working on the writing process is invaluable, and something that a lot of students have never really done seriously before.

It is a good point, though society has always been awry in many ways.

Not just you. I can’t really think of any time I’d want to watch TV or movies on my phone. Maybe the occasional YouTube clip, but any time I’d be watching something longer, it’d be on a plane where I’d bring a laptop or tablet.

I hate to break it to you, but ostentatious displays of wealth and narcissism go back thousands of years, not just to whenever you started hearing about kids these days. Nearly every great work of culture in human history would have, when it was created, made MTV Sweet Sixteen look like a solitary nun sorting beads.

A poorly paced SNL skit with a decent premise filled out with lazy junk? I’m shocked!
