The O' Club / Re: A 50 year mortgage..
« Last post by DmonSlyr on Today at 01:36:12 PM »The reason those aren't taught in high school is not because of some conspiracy theory. They aren't taught because students up until that point have not had any need for those life skills and aren't going to give a toejam about any of that knowledge, nor retain it.
I never had any need for literature, trigonometry, calculus, or geometry, but we had to sit through all of those classes, which are way harder and generally less useful to the majority of the Americans than Accounting and budgeting. Id have much preferred to learn robotics, mechanical machinery, electrical understanding, and forestry skills than sit there and read freaking Shakespeare and do huge formulas ill never use in the real world.. they'll teach economics though which also doesnt matter to a high schooler and will have 0 practical use.

« Last post by Animl-AW on Today at 01:03:08 PM »They taught it in my schools, 9th grade, economics, basic buisness, and adult living. As far as tech shop classes all I mentioned above was cut by your side in “trimming budgets” to funnel the savings to their pet projects. They now walk out less prepared. And frankly, most complaints here end on decisions of the side you support. Ya eat your own feet then blame the other side ya can’t walk. You supported this implosion in your vote.
The other side built those things you complain are missing your side took them away.
That simple
Conspiracies are formed to distract you from these facts, bait and switch

Anyone who volunteers time out of their life to contribute items in attempt to better the game, or just a simple change of pace, probably earned some form of respect in their efforts, personality conflicts aside.
Mistakes may be made, concepts may fail, skills are developing, things will be fixed, but putting their name on the line to try should never be discouraged with ridicule. There are those who volunteer time, and those who don’t. You’ll get a lot more done with sugar than salt.
I was taken back a bit when I came to AH in 2000. Never once was I or anyone else who volunteered contributions in AW. Yet the AH masses tend to ridicule and discourage such the end product by SOME. My contributions here in early days were mostly safe behind the curtain. Today, the heat I got from some for simply learning how to make a decent video is beyond vomit worthy, worse by former players with nothing but their inflated know-it-all ego in the community. This just didn’t happen in AW, ever.
Last thing we did was to hand a disgruntled former player a microphone, their intent is not the same as yours or they would be playing, water and oil. Worse, some hang here hoping to witness the end. Some predicted it will end within a year, for 10-15 yrs. Thats called hoping it dies because they aren’t in it and the end would justify it and prove their “vast wisdom”.
I didn’t care for buzzsaw simply because it put an arcade-ish face on the game. However, I respect the volunteered time and work in an attempt to better the game. To do so I consider kicking a gift horse in the mouth. My first vid and last is a vast difference, a skill is evolving, same with others.
Between AW and AH I have 10s of 1000s of hours in efforts. But never got bashed until I did it here. It only encourages to do less.
No offense intended to anyone, nor any one person. Consider the discouragement in growth.
No one is asking for praise, just not be bashed. Constructive criticism is encouraged.
My acid bath is waiting

C-47 Arguably one of the greatest airplanes to ever grace the sky. Some are still doing work (not just exhibitions) to this day. Among any aviation enthusiasts top 10 aircraft of all time.
P-47 A true war machine that fulfilled every role that was thrown at it and brought its pilots home.
F6F A sturdy workhorse that decimated the Japanese.
B-25 Probably one of the most versatile aircraft in the American arsenal.
Honorable mentions…
ME109 In frontline service and viable from before the war started until its end.
IL-2 Flying tank
A6M An amazing feat of engineering that took the world by storm.
Hawker Hurricane held the line until the US could pull their head out of their butt.
