To be fair, she was black, so she probably has some experienced with oppression. And, if her parents are based enough, a framework to understand it

[@Anton15243]

@@ZPu95 I didn't say it was a certainty, only a possibility. I don't want to say that all black people read Fanon as a pastime. But I'm pretty sure that almost all of them either experience learn about oppression from those that experienced it. Even if she's in a well-off family and her parents are textbook examples of black excellence, there are still society-wide microaggressions, like the fact whenever a black character is in a movie it's considered notable and somehow significant, but when it's a white guy it means nothing and is "the default". Or how ancient history classes are centered primarily on European civilizations like Rome or Greece, with such empires like the Sassanids or the Parthians being described in passing, often mostly by the way they interacted with the European civilizations (see how the Achaemenid Empire is known in pop-culture as "the guys that tried to invade Greece")

[@Sir_Crow]

@@ZPu95 I mean, it's because black people face oppression for being black, whereas a white dude isn't going to. I think there's a big difference between a stereotype and saying that black people face oppression.

[@KimeramonRocks]

my complaint about the game is how much time is wasted changing hosts, changing students, and asking students questions about themselves. i ended up pressing the right arrow key until the question showed up. but if you havent memorized the name of every city/town in every country in the world, then you are NOT smarter than a fifth grader. Also students in America dont really learn foreign languages until sixth grade, if that. maybe its forced or earlier if you go to some private school

[@ZombifiedBuizel]

Well I learned spanish as early as 2nd grade. Though at the time I was in a Catholic school. I remember learning how to sing an entire Hymn in spanish. It was Pan De Vida or Bread of Life. Heck if I remember any of it now. It's funny because I'm the spanish traslator of my friend group. If they don't know they go to me. My spanish is far from perfect though but I know just enough that I could probably get around Spain with little difficulty.

[@Atomic-Purple-Guy]

Longest answer : Feeling like you're not "smarter than a fifth grader" can be a humbling experience, but it’s important to recognize why this might happen. Here are several reasons why adults might struggle with questions aimed at a fifth-grade level: ### 1. **Forgotten Knowledge** - **Long-Term Memory**: Adults often forget specific details of subjects learned in elementary school because they are not frequently used in daily life. - **Focused Knowledge**: Adults typically specialize in certain areas of knowledge and skills relevant to their careers and interests, potentially neglecting broader, general knowledge. ### 2. **Different Priorities** - **Practical Skills Over Academic Knowledge**: Adults prioritize practical skills, job-specific knowledge, and life responsibilities over academic trivia. - **Time Constraints**: Balancing work, family, and other responsibilities leaves less time for refreshing or updating academic knowledge. ### 3. **Evolving Curriculum** - **Updated Educational Standards**: Educational curricula evolve, and what fifth graders learn today might be different from what was taught in the past. - **Technological Advancements**: Technology and new teaching methods can change how subjects are taught, making older knowledge seem outdated. ### 4. **Contextual Learning** - **Memory Recall**: Children are often in environments that reinforce academic learning daily, making it easier for them to recall specific facts. - **Learning Environment**: The structured learning environment of a classroom is different from the diverse and less structured learning environments adults experience. ### 5. **Cognitive Differences** - **Focused Learning vs. Broader Thinking**: Children’s brains are wired for absorbing new information rapidly and in focused subjects, whereas adults often think in broader, more integrated ways. - **Stress and Distractions**: Adults may face more stress and distractions, which can affect concentration and memory recall. ### Reflecting on the Experience - **Learning Opportunities**: This can be a chance to reconnect with general knowledge and enjoy the process of learning new things or revisiting old ones. - **Perspective on Intelligence**: Intelligence isn't just about knowing facts; it includes problem-solving, creativity, emotional intelligence, and practical skills. ### Conclusion While fifth graders are adept at recalling specific facts and recent lessons, adults have the advantage of broader life experience and practical knowledge. If you find yourself stumped by fifth-grade questions, it doesn’t reflect your overall intelligence but rather the different focuses and priorities in your life. Embrace the opportunity to learn and grow from these experiences.

All other Nobel prizes are awarded in Stockholm, but the peace prize specifically is in Oslo. Nobel never explained why he wanted it this way, but while he was alive Sweden and Norway were in an uncomfortable union after Sweden tore their asses up in a war. Thus, Norway might have symbolized peace from the Swedish perspective, and giving them this honor may have been in the hopes of improving Swedish-Norwegian relations. Unfortunately, the peace prize is one of the most controversial prizes and has been involved in several international incidents. For instance, in 2010 it was awarded to Liu Xiaobo, considered an enemy of the state by the Chinese government, who froze trade talks with Norway for the next several years.

It's "Are You Smarter than a 10 Year Old" in the UK. A "5th grader" means nothing here. We just call primary school "grades" years, like year 1, year 2 etc. Someone in year 5 would be 9 or 10 years old. We also have weird stuff that confuses people from other countries, like "sets" within a year. Basically a way of separating out pupils based on aptitude for a subject. Set 5 is basically special ed, and set 1 is like peak performance. It's quite a good system as the kids who are struggling with a subject can get extra help and the kids who are doing better can tackle more advanced stuff earlier. ...And now I have no idea why I've gone on this review of the British school system. I work for a school and it's early in the morning. I'm going to make coffee.

13:35 random supremacist propaganda, justifying your own groups violence by claiming it’s different than the “oppressor”, no matter the truth of the matter that’s straight dangerous stuff to say.

[@zyrkugilgamesh]

I love these games and shows because they berate you for not knowing useless things for your day to day, when you need to know a lot of things about your job, how to do taxes or in what angle to kick a knee so it shatters the bones inside but making it look natural

46:18 "hm, what country was it?" Joel, it literally says South Africa on the BOARD. He could have put that circle almost anywhere in South Africa and hit it on accident.😰 I feel physical pain from that

Zooming directly to Vietnam for the South Korea one was funny, he thought he was slick enough to say, “No no guys, is yoke”

I know that roman numeral number because that Super Bowl is forever cursed for me as a Broncos fan.
