@WeaponOutfitter@KILLTOPARTY My favorite Instagram game is to see when the first post is from. If it is this year and looks to good to be true, it probably is AI. Sooooo many new IG accounts posting in January with ridiculous proportions.
@BradEBonham I feel like it's hard to hide your political persuasions when you are successful and a public figure. You are either a sociopath or reasonable/quiet (moderate or republican). The authoritarian scale is similar. I had you figured out within the first few minutes of meeting you. ;)
@BradEBonham Yep. I can be upset about the reaction from the DOJ/FBI and still think what he did was stupid. So sad to see everyone becoming this unreasonable and manipulated.
@BradEBonham If people want to find something to actually be outraged about, it's this. However, Not for the reasons the left is. They should be outraged that they are being used by by their liberal leadership to stoke the fire of civil unrest and that their life is a line item to be spent.
@BradEBonham https://t.co/WjWprpht6y It's impossibly broken. Without direct, home-centered teaching, our children will end up as useless adults. They are already missing much of what we knew at their age. My kids are in school for social reasons alone. Otherwise, I would homeschool them.
So let me get this straight:
– 1 in 12 incoming UCSD freshmen don’t know middle school math,
– and the remedial math course was too advanced,
– so UCSD had to create a remedial remedial math course,
– and a quarter of the students placing into it had a perfect 4.0 GPA in their high school math courses.
That sounds so ridiculous, like something you’d read in The Onion, but it’s unfortunately real.
Here are some direct quotes from the UCSD report:
“Between 2020 and 2025, the number of students whose math skills fall below high school level increased nearly thirtyfold; moreover, 70% of those students fall below middle school levels, reaching roughly one in twelve members of the entering cohort.”
“While Math 2 was designed in 2016 to remediate missing high school math knowledge, now most students had knowledge gaps that went back much further, to middle and even elementary school. To address the large number of underprepared students, the Mathematics Department redesigned Math 2 for Fall 2024 to focus entirely on elementary and middle school Common Core math subjects (grades 1-8), and introduced a new course, Math 3B, so as to cover missing high-school common core math subjects (Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II or Math I, II, III; grades 9-11).”
“Few, if any, students who place into Math 2 have successfully completed an engineering degree.”
“high school math grades are only very weakly linked to students’ actual math preparation.”
“The correlation between the average math grade and the placement result is only around 0.25 on a scale of 0 to 1. In 2024, over 25% of the students in Math 2 had a math grade average of 4.0.”
“In fact, for more than two decades the Mathematics Department has found that out of all available student data, the single best predictor for math placement has been the SAT (math section) score, with the ACT score being an equally good predictor.”
@BradEBonham Society has chosen to stop identifying/fighting evil. In fact, they embrace it into their daily lives. This moral corruption leads to the masses preying on law abiding citizens rather than confronting the demons that are creating this problem, because they are cowards.
@WeaponOutfitter I have both, but still love my Juliets. I have a massive head, which works well with the Juliets that don't have the aggressive bend in the arms. They fit my face well and my eyelashes don't hit the lenses because of the curved geometry. As far as I'm concerned, they are perfect.
@WeaponOutfitter Razer laptops are the answer. It's essentially a MacBook, running Windows, with basically nothing stupid installed on it. They are expensive though.
@AtypicalBass@WeaponOutfitter@DanielR4888 To make it really suck? 10 seconds or less for 7 yards, 15 for 10 yards, and 20 for 15 yards. I've never done it that fast (with a pistol). If you can pull it off, go join the US Rapid Fire team and bring home gold. 🤣
