But that's already how math is taught. Examples, word problems, discussion of applications. It helps students grasp the concepts to know their purpose and use.

PC is what people call basic politeness when they don't wanna do it.

Respecting basic human dignity for outgroups is a core part of being woke, for sure.

By accident? Probably fine as long as it's not a pattern.

On purpose? No, that's shitty.

You can use any piece of cardstock. I used to cut rectangles out of cereal boxes and use those.

I think it does have to be cardstock or similar weight, though; cheese might not meet the requirements.

Not very big in the US anymore, but florists still advertise for it and when I was young it was uncommon but not unknown for boys to leave flowers for girls they admired. I think it's one of those traditions that's dying out though.

Five years is nothing, if you're both adults.

Five years is sketchy, if you're both students at a university. A graduate student or senior undergraduate dating a new freshman seems predatory, and often is.

Five years is appalling, if one of you is a child. A college student dating someone barely out of middleschool is more than just predatory.

I know many happy couples that have a decade between them, because the problem isn't a difference in age, it's a difference in position. Two adults with jobs and a full education are at a similar level.

Blame OP, she's the one who sent me back in time.

Unfortunately in that circumstance, I'd likely be a horrible vector for disease. Not much chance of survival if I spread devastation wherever I go.

 

Neither seems to be inspired by the other, but share a lot of imagery and mechanics. Do they both owe a common precursor? Or is it the collective unconscious at work?
