    What I don't understand, is why the flat earth shape has a curve at all? Why not a square or triangle?

    Holy cow, I'm 20 mins into "Behind the Curve" and don't think I can go all the way.

    Discussion is an exchange of intelligence. Argument is an exchange of
    ignorance. Ever found a liberal that you can have a discussion with?

    Holy shit. The math during "at home learning" is excruciating. It takes 10 minutes to do simple math problem like 23 + 17. I just tell my 2nd grader to do it this way, the correct way, and to forget about all that other shit. She got it right away. I don't get the new math nonsense at all.

    Yeah. I remember new math thread.
    The word problem should be:

    The math teacher smoked 100g of pot and 20g of crack twice today. How many grams of drug did teacher used today?

    Old math: 140g of drug.
    New mat: 40g of drug and 100g of good shiiiiit....

    New math is similar to how I add big numbers in my head, but I don't understand, or like new math. It feels like they are trying to teach kids the way that people think in their heads, but concerning my own methods, I have always felt I do math in my head whatever way because I'm not good enough at math to do it the normal way.

    Just started "Behind thr Curve". Neil DeGrasse Tyson says, "The earth isn't f*ng flat!"

    And to think these people are allowed to vote......
    And reproduce........
    Conspiracy theories.......
    Emotionally and psychologically off bubble......
    Lonely goofy dudes and a few earth muffins tossed in.........
    Dunning-Kruger effect........
    Ring laser gyroscope shows rotation of 15-degrees per hour (rotation rate of earth if it's a sphere).......

    It's like listening to anyone with an extreme viewpoint.
