Ya know, as a gay trans teacher who is apparently a danger to children by existing -

Like, me being gay and trans was completely irrelevant to what I was doing? I taught stoichiometry. Sometimes I mentioned I had a husband, because students will do absolutely anything to distract from the task at hand and ask five billion questions.

But there was never a “hey I’m the gay and we are going to learn about the gay and I’m going to test you about the gay.” I didn’t have time for that shit even if I wanted to. I want to teach fucking stoichiometry.

Right?? Like, try squeezing in some ideology into a full-time college curriculum, I dare you! Students barely have time to sleep and eat. 😂 Fucking right-wingers, man.

Wait, you didn't tech them about cis/trans bonds??

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Not in high school chemistry. If they ended the year remembering the difference between ionic and covalent I was happy. (If they could remember polarity, I’d feel so much dopamine that I might as well as shot heroin)

[–] dream_weasel@sh.itjust.works 2 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Before I look it up... Ionic is weaker and covalent shares an electron? 5th grade chemistry was a long time ago.

Edit: Hey yeah ions are created by taking or giving up electrons. Covalent bonds share them.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

Yup! You got it. Ionic bonds are like magnets, and covalent bonds are glued together by electrons.

[–] Airowird@lemm.ee 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Weird, I did in high school (in a STEM major, if you'ld call it that)

[–] andros_rex@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

My state is 49th in education, and we are trying to be 50th. I tutor now, and would say only half the chemistry classes in the state get past balancing equations.

Stoichiometry was very fun to learn, especially about the concept of moles and how its value was derived. Incidentally my AP chem teacher was gay and no one gave a shit about it, he was a really cool sensible dude.

These fake tweet and fake replies to tweets stopped being funny back in 2013.

[–] petrol_sniff_king@lemmy.blahaj.zone 14 points 6 days ago (1 children)

That's all right, man, I'll google it for you.

Let's imagine it was fake for a moment, though: what exactly is the problem here? Is being clever something only Tony Stark does?

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

But this isn't clever. Rare insults started out as a place to showcase unique insults that you wouldn't see anywhere else. STFU is not that. This is just a run of the mill Tw*tter user thinking they're "destroying" the people they're replying to.

This is a good example what a rare insult looks like:

[–] petrol_sniff_king@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Ahh, so it's not "fake," it just displeases you.

Uh, scroll down then. The app will provide more grapes to you, master.

[–] Gorilladrums@lemmy.world -4 points 6 days ago

How unnecessarily snarky

[–] FreeBeard@slrpnk.net 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is she talking about vocals in terms of language or the history of Austria? Both would be reasonable but it bothers me that it's not clear.

For those who don't know, the letters in this order are associated with the Austrian Hungarian Empire but the meaning is unknown.

[–] xrun_detected@programming.dev 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Austriae est imperare orbi universo

[–] FreeBeard@slrpnk.net 2 points 6 days ago

Mein Favorit ist: "Alles Erdreich ist Österreich Untertan"

From Nancy's wiki:

Mace worked for Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign,[4] but strongly condemned his actions surrounding the January 6 U.S. Capitol attack. She asserted that Trump's legacy had been "wiped out" and that he should be held "accountable" for his actions. She later voted against impeaching him,[5][6] and, in 2024, endorsed him in the Republican presidential primary.

In case you're wondering about the kind of spineless sack of shit Nancy is.

In 2004, she earned a master's degree in journalism and mass communication from the Henry W. Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Georgia.[12][13]

In case you're wondering whether her discrimination is the product of stupidity or calculated malice.

[–] ChrysanthemumIndica@discuss.tchncs.de 7 points 6 days ago

In case some folks don't know, the Grady School of Journalism is a popular and well respected program. At least enough that they present the Peabody Awards!

I had no idea she went through that program, and even worse (for me personally) it was when I was also in college 😓 ughh

the woke left strikes again, trying to make our alphabet "AEIOU"

[–] pticrix@lemmy.ca 8 points 1 week ago

AE IOU? Buddy, in this world of capital, it's AE UO ME.

[–] can@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Not to mention Y's enby phase.

[–] Ptsf@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I want our children learning about arbitrary language rules rather than actual human culture... Fucking vultures man.
