1+1=11 silly.

In that case, in the decimal system, 2 + 2 = 22 and not 4, which makes "she/her" correct. We should all apologize to she/her.

Maybe it’s like this from The Three Stooges:

Tutor: If you have one dollar and your father gives you one dollar, how much money would you have?

Larry: One dollar.

Tutor: You don’t know your arithmetic.

Larry: You don’t know my father.

We already know what happens when people who think like her build a bridge.

Does she get upset that western imperialism math determines what shows up on her paycheck?

it’s not western imperialism or colonialism

the correct term that more appropriately describes western population expansion, sometimes friendly and sometimes not, is:

Conquests

2 + 2 = 4 is an Indian concept. In Western civilization it would be II II = IV.

Remember, in 1984, they did not stop when Winston finally stated 2 plus 2 equals 5. They stated that Winston was just saying 5 to stop the treatment. They carried on until Winston BELIEVED that 2 plus 2 equals 5. The only absolute is the State. Reality is what the State determines is reality. No less, no more. 5.

Tow the party line, and there is no ‘or else.’

It reads like an Onion or Babylon Bee satire piece.

If 2 + 2 doesn’t equal 4, then what does it equal?

“You are a slow learner, Winston."

"How can I help it? How can I help but see what is in front of my eyes? Two and two are four."

"Sometimes, Winston. Sometimes they are five. Sometimes they are three. Sometimes they are all of them at once. You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane.”

Regards,

Trade schools are far more beneficial to the student and to society.

I have been feeling bad for the kids we have been pushing in STEM, especially computer related jobs. Companies are doing everything they can to offshore this work, and after surviving a grueling curriculum, I am afraid these kids will only have a few good years of employment before the work is all gone. But if these are the clowns educating them, then I can’t really blame the companies, can I?

You guys think this is funny??? I’m a (conservative, last one) high school teacher. I teach Chemistry...we do not use calculators, I kid you not. I’m only allowed to teach concepts, not calculations....these kids are that lazy. Whenever I do stray a bit and use some math, many revolt, even as far as complaining to administration that I can’t teach............it’s my last year after 30.....it can’t end soon enough.

This teacher is working on her doctoral dissertation.

I didn’t know you could get a Ph.D. in ‘Dumb.’
