But nope. these shitlords are going to restaurants, supermarkets, bars, concerts, parties, not a care in the fucking world. Unprotected, and flaunting it. Policies be damned, theres no enforcement. This whole charade has proven, in a nutshell, why the honor system is a load of shit. They're lying, spreading shit, creating environments for the virus to mutate and reset us back to square one, and are so hung up on their fedora-tipping "m'rights" that they forget that their right to swing their fist ends where someone else's face begins. And right now, their fists are the very air they're breathing.

Not only are they doing that, they're trying their best to encourage other people to endanger themselves too. Everyone who spreads anti-vaccination conspiracy theory bullshit is essentially telling someone else to risk their lives.

Like, don't want to get vaccinated? Fine, just stay in your house. Don't go out to eat, don't go to sporting events or concerts or museums, don't travel.

But that's not what's going on. They're mingling with everyone and encouraging the spread of the virus further. It is not accurate to say that these people are anti-vaccination. The better way to describe them would be pro-COVID, because that is what they are.

You don't have the qualifications to criticize the vaccine. Doing that rationally would take decades of study that you clearly don't have, because if you did, you'd have been beating down clinic doors to get it already. Like all actual scientists and doctors already did. Any questions you have could be addressed by a simple google search and selecting a reliable news source or reading a public health website. I guarantee your concerns aren't unique and there's nothing you're "worried" about that hasn't already been addressed a thousand times over. You're not some scientific genius that's come up with a question that never occurred to doctors, researchers, journalists, or public health experts.

The information is all readily available and has been the entire time. That's why we got the vaccine already. While you're sitting here complaining about having "questions", you're also helping variants develop by being unvaccinated, you're higher risk for helping the disease spread, etc.

It's a bad sign that you're asking random posters on Gamefaqs to answer your vaccine questions. That's the type of information gathering that's likely led to you being misinformed about the vaccine and latching on to some victimhood narrative.

Type your questions into google, avoid conspiracy websites, select authoritative, science based sources, read them, understand them, and then go get the goddamn vaccine.

One hundred thousand fucking percent!

Scientists who spend their entire lives and careers studying viruses have all determined that the vaccine is safe and effective at preventing death.

Doctors who work in emergency rooms have found that almost all of their COVID-19 hospitalizations are unvaccinated people and have encouraged everyone to get vaccinated.

If you think you know better than they do, you're wrong.

There are a lot of people very eager to label others and anything as anti vax. These are usually the same people who think it is extremely important to be vaccinated, but are very eager to yell and scream at people who express any small amount of vaccine hesitancy. No one has ever been convinced to get vaccinated by being yelled at. It just isn't helpful and it you feel you can only yell at people then just be quiet instead.

Like I absolutely get the frustration with anti vax types, but you need to express some patience with them otherwise you are only decreasing the odds they'll get vaccinated. Not that you were gonna convince them otherwise, but there is zero way you are helping by yelling at anyone.

That's why the solution is to deny them entrance to society. Ban them from restaurants, sporting events, and all indoor activities, kind of like NYC is going to do starting next month. This way they can either get vaccinated or they can stay at home and keep bitching about it.

Too bad most state governments either don't have the guts *or* they're run by anti-vaxxers so this won't happen in most areas of the country, which means that this pandemic will keep raging on and on for the next year

Maybe they are just blocking everyone that doesn't agree with their antivax nonsense. I barely said anything though and it was before the user showed up.

I'd consider it a badge of honor to be blocked by an anti-vaccination person

Aren't the anti-vax people usually also the conservatives who bitch about how "cancel culture" and "snowflakes" are ruining America? In reality, they're the biggest snowflakes ever, because the moment you call them dumb they flee for the hills like little babies

You are quite right and I deeply apologise, I should be better than this.

Vile people do not deserve to be associated with anti vaxxers.

Thanks for the fix. I'm quite a vile person, and I'll readily admit that I'm kind of a scumbag, but don't you dare lump me in with the likes of the anti-vaccination crowd.

She's doing what everyone should do. Anti-vaccination people should be shunned from modern society so that they can only get sick and infect each other.

NYC is being smart by requiring vaccination proof (through an app) for indoor activities, so hopefully the anti-vaccination people leave the state soon so we can get back to normal.

The main reasons the method shown on the right is helpful?

-It is a good way to introduce geometry to students to help them visualize mathematics in their heads. It is never too early to introduce geometric reasoning to students. Furthermore, linking the area of squares to comparing products and sums is another way to help students visualize orders of magnitude.

-It is really helpful for students when they multiply binomials - teachers in previous years would just teach "hey multiply using this method" and then once Algebra I comes around they'd just teach kids "FOIL" and then kids really have no idea what they're actually doing. Teaching kids that (35)(23) can be done by expressing it as (30 + 5)(20 + 3) will really help them down the line when they have to multiply (x^2 - 3)(2x^2 - 4x + 1).

-This reinforces the distributive property, which is really important, because kids in previous years usually know to distribute, but they're not really sure why it works.

And most importantly, it is important to note that the method that the firefighter used is mathematically the exact same thing. The algorithm that he did is basically splitting (35)(12) into (35)(10) + (35)(2), whereas the teacher on the right is doing (30)(10) + (5)(10) + (30)(2) + (5)(2), but again, a really cool thing to show students would be to have them explain *why* mathematically the two methods get you the same answer. You could even use this to reinforce or introduce something like combining like terms (i.e. showing students that (30)(10) + (5)(10) is equivalent to (35)(10), and explaining why that is), so then this way they don't get lost when you say 3x + 5x = 8x.

Yeah. Countries with a stronger social safety net have more equitable education outcomes for a reason.

This is really sad, but it is a multi-faceted problem. At its core is the misconception that education is the way to address the issue of poverty, when it really isn't. It's the other way around. You want kids to be educated, give them and their families a way out of poverty first. Students in upper-income neighborhoods do not struggle with these issues, and it's certainly not because they're smarter.
