Everyone who likes reading, I advice you to wear a diaper. That place is a bloody wet dream come true for every bibliophile.

How do they manage to keep the books well-maintained for 300 years when it is available for the public?

Most sections aren't open to public. Still, that leaves you with a few tens of thousands of books that you can still access. Not all books are ancient either. They've got a large selection of modern literature.

"Can you pass me that tube?"

"Sure, which one?"

"Uhhh, the one with the two dots with one being a darker and smaller circle than the lighter one below it."

Except you still just call it 'purple.'

And if the kid needs help figuring out which one is purple, that's EXACTLY the point of these.

Kind of like how foreign language teachers make you use the language all class even if you're not quite fluent--because figuring out how to say **** in a new language is exactly what you're supposed to be doing in class.

Then they should put both the name and the color on the tubes.

To continue my analogy, that would be the equivalent of always having the word in English below it. Seems nice, but it's actually a crutch for learning, because you never actually HAVE to memorize it.

By the time a child is learning color theory, they'd already know the word 'purple.' The point is to make it so they *HAVE* to think about the color combinations and cannot simply rely on the words.

I'm not trying to sound cocky, but I'd honestly be willing to bet most of the people red thumbing me don't have a clue about education, especially when it comes to children.

And that's fine!

I can probably roll with the same analogy all day long. That's the equivalent of looking up a word in the Spanish-English dictionary.

It's still one extra step past being able to simply recognize the color by the markings on the tube, and therefore you still have incentive to eventually memorize the color combinations.

Well of course it's not something you'd do if the kid was colorblind.

But honestly, painting's going to suck for you either way if you're colorblind... Maybe just pick a different activity for colorblind children than 'let's put colors on paper and appreciate the differences between them!'

"Will you pass me the purple one?"

*Passes you the blue and yellow one*

"No dude, purple is the red and blue one. This is why the teacher had us use these."

"But purple isn't even a color, it was a name coined by crayola. And since our teacher banned the use crayola crayons here, we shouldn't even acknowledge purple as a color, it's actually violet anyways."

"Let me guess, your teacher told you that in a manner of fact."

Purple is actually an older word than violet: while violet comes from the Latin viola for the flower of the same name, purple comes from the Latin purpura, which comes from the Greek porphura, after the mollusks which were used when creating a dark crimson dye.

Red and blue are not primary colors. The three true primary colors are yellow magenta and cyan. Most people today believe otherwise because as children we all had teachers that didn't know better.

Red, blue, and yellow are called primary colors because the other colors come from combining them.
And seriously, "If you want to mix vivid greens, mix yellow and cyan"? Oh yeah, sure, if you want a vivid orange don't mix red and yellow, mix golden poppy and vermillion.
Besides, the CYMK palette is using in printing, and it's completely useless in painting, mixing magenta and yellow while using oil paint Although it'll maybe work with watercolors would result in sunset orange, not red.

Yes, but they're using paint, which does operate with yellow as a primary color because of the way light works with it. yellow is an additive primary or something like that with paints.

I don't remember the specifics, but color with light is different from color with paint.

#71 to #64 - rzkruspe (10/06/2015) [-]
Yep
Light responds to the additive color theory, paint to the subtractive one.

One simple way to verify that : when you merge all colors in light it gives white, when you do that with paint it gives black (in theory).

I'm ******* sick of hearing about homophobia. It should be just as acceptable to be gay as it is to say that it's not right. And it's a ****** term, because it implies that people are afraid of gay people. All this SJW, pro-gay, anti-white, anti-Christian, anti-Western society, feminazi etc ******** is on the verge of making me a ******* fascist neoreactionary. I'm pretty tolerant and open-minded, but if I'm gonna be labeled as something by society, eventually I'm gonna live up to the label.

Let me explain to you the difference in being a homophobe, and just being someone who doesn't think being gay is right.

Homophobe: all faggots are going to hell it's Adam and eve not Adam and Steve I hate gays only because they are gay.

Guy who thinks being gay isn't right: I don't really agree with it man, i feel like relationships should only occur between a man and a woman but I'm not going to insult people because my beliefs aren't everyone else's and I'm not a raging asshole.

Just because you believe gay is bad, doesn't mean everyone else does and you shouldn't shove that belief down people's throats. It's like the difference between an athiest and a neckbeard, your beliefs are fine just don't be a dick.
