For a dude in his 30's or 40s he takes this crap awfully seriously.
No he doesn't. He plays a part that pretends to care because driving engagement is just as much a thing for radio as it is for clickbait. "Keep listening and we'll have people to call in to argue about if the dress is blue/black or white/gold!" It's the broadcast equivalent of, "let me know in the comments."
What the fuck is wrong with Australians??
Any kind of polling that is specifically trying to show support for something is going to be as cooked as possible.
To give you an idea of how easy this is. Ask 100 people, "if someone publishes porn of you online without your consent, should the government be able to order it taken it down for you?" How many are going to say no? If you say yes, you
support a regulator with the power to order content removal.
Simple, right?
Short-term memory is a huge threat to their platform. How can they stay convinced that Trump is going to round them all up for death camps when someone can say, "you lived through a full term of Trump just a couple years ago and he didn't do a single thing to you, you retard."
>Boat license
Several states mandate safety courses before you can legally operate a boat. Florida, for example, has a card to prove you took a course. It might as well be a license.
>fireworks license
There are municipalities where fireworks are illegal, with an exception for permitted displays, which is effectively licensure but per-event rather than per-person.
>bicycle license
There are/were counties that required registration for each bike.
IMHO, of the ones you listed only fireworks make sense to have a restriction. Owing mostly to the fact that you aren't in constant control (or even line of sight) of the device. Car accident or what not, there's no question of who was operating the vehicle. Personal responsibility is assured. Firework could light a house blocks away on fire and you'd never know it. The lack of accountability after the fact reasonably justifies adding some accountability before the fact.
I remember our textbooks having solutions to only even or only odd questions. You'd get assigned from the set without answers as graded work.
Of course PDFs of the teacher's guide with all the solutions weren't hard to come by either.
I would obviously need to step back
You knowing to step back means you're self-directed when it comes to learning. Most kids weren't. Most adults still aren't. You've correctly identified that schools are designed for the lowest common denominator. .
If you were fortunate enough to be in a school that actually rose to meet your level, the questions would become challenging enough that you you'd need to show your work for your own review.
"Show your work" itself wasn't the bad policy. The level of the work you were assigned was. The grading (which I agree is bad) is because it's the only tool they have to push the policy. At a good school they wouldn't need grading threats because, "I can't help you fix this unless you show me what you did," and your desire to understand the material is sufficient reason to show work.
Almost any of them. If America's "based folk" all converged on another nation with a population of under 100m, they would be the ones in power within half a generation. The main selection criteria would be if it has the natural resources and defensible terrain to arm up to defend against the evitable invasion from what remained of the US.
Stabilizing Argentina and then doing a northward Manifest Destiny would be ideal. La Conquista II. Oh and we chase the Bongcucks out of the Falkland Islands just for the hell of it.
Alternatively, everyone moves to Texas and we get to reenact 1836 but pointed North.
"showing work"
They do it so that when the kid gets the wrong answer, a reviewer can pin-point why they got it wrong and tell them how to correct it. "You flipped the sign on line 5" is significantly more useful than "you fucked up somewhere, IDK."
It's only a waste of time when you get the correct answer. Which is why I too considered it a waste for many years but first time you have to teach someone else, you get the point quickly. Though... I do doubt most teachers bother checking the work anyway.
MENOPUR® is a preparation of gonadotropins (FSH and LH activity), extracted from the urine of postmenopausal women, which has undergone additional steps for purification.
Imagine risking a felony for trading in powdered old lady piss.
they'll elect somebody
You are assuming the premise of a style of governance where the majority rules, there is voting, and evil people are allowed to vote. Something like a benevolent dictatorship would have no problem legislating morality unless the evil people were in a position to overthrow the government.
Quick. Make the MC a black lesbian. Then they can get the Chinese market and grow their audience /s
