[Chadstroma]

And why....

 

[Mister CIA]

Fantasy football is all luck.

 

[dkp993]

Fantasy football is all skill.

 

[ChiefD]

Why Common Sense is the most important skill you can have.

 

[Ron Swanson]

How not to be a ****. From the perspective of a ****.

 

[Galileo]

A TED talk about giving a TED talk...

 

[culdeus]

Wheat pennies?

 

[bigbottom]

Homoerotic NFL parodies.

 

[shuke]

How to pinch and roll.

 

[FatMax]

I would talk about how important it is to know that you don't know much.

 

[dickey moe]

I'd tell a bunch of jokes.

 

[Zegras11]

I'd talk about my close, clean, shave.

 

[Leroy Hoard]

Well that's just common sense.

After developing friendships over the past several years with a couple fellow accounting professors who are at Gallaudet University (school for the deaf in D.C. - chartered by Lincoln in 1864), I ended up doing a paper on this topic with one of them. (The rest of the title is “and the Implications for Accounting Education.”) The history of how disability is isolated from other diversity aspects is interesting ..and discouraging. The high percentage of disability, such as in higher ed, is surprising. The conceptual breadth of “disability” is relevant - the visible and invisible disabilities. We have a need to move from a medical model (you have a disability! We need to focus on your problem) to a social model (individuals have impairments …the disability arises from society’s barriers).

The implication gets into universal design for education, which would be a TED Talk all of its own.

 

[Osaurus]

Virtues of the upper decker

 

[Alex P Keaton]

How Ted Talks are just a subset or natural outcome of our snowflake minded, look-at-me culture

 

[zamboni]

Ted Simmons

Just don’t make catchers like that any more.

 

[Chadstroma]

Why Common Sense is the most important skill you can have.

But you are a Chief fan.

 

[TripItUp]

1) Identifying, Hiring and managing talent.
2) Running a startup professional services firm

Because I'm ****ing epic at it

 

[higgins]

Is it pee?

 

[The Gator]

Bloody Marrys


Whatever the sommelier version of the bloody marry expert is, that’s me.

 

[Poke_4_Life]

How to read and interpret a bank call report (UBPR). Very needed, there are a lot of very dumb bankers.

Why life is Not a marathon.
It’s a long distance triathlon.

Early life is the swim - shortest (hopefully) and many of us swim with the current while many swim against it.

“working years” are cycling - the bike matters, as does the person peddling. Sometimes you get a flat.

Older years are the run - if you didn’t plan well in the first two phases it can suck.

 

[TripItUp]

Other ideas

1) How to lose and keep weight off
2) money management
3) How to get good at pickleball
4) where and how to travel

Yea, but then you have to admit your a Chief fan.

If you want to “go there,” he’s a Royals fan, too.

Don't quit your job until you find another one. Yeah I know..."toxic" work environment and all that. Suck it up. Go to work, look for something else, then bounce when you find it, not before.

Love this. Would maybe phrase it “accessibility”. That’s the next frontier for DEI. Our company helps blind, low vision and those with cognitive disabilities to have digital accessibility.

 

[pecorino]

Why the entire subject of mathematics is misunderstood by most Americans, how the educational system is perpetuating this misunderstanding, the damage it is causing and the benefits we as a country would experience if only our educational system and its teachers actually knew what math is. It’s a national epidemic that needs to be addressed. Yes, I’m a math teacher, fighting the good fight.

Actually, I'd be happy to discuss that ...send me a PM, if you'd like. I've done a couple of academically-focused presentations, but I'd enjoy branching out and getting more practice at articulating the issues.

@Joe Bryant , just another example of the good this place does... @tri-man 47 came to my team meeting today and presented on the topic above. He put a lot of time and effort into this, for no compensation, and we all learned a lot!

I’m still available for a talk on homoerotic NFL parodies. Just sayin.

Seriously though, that is awesome.

How our obsession with "being happy" is leading to societal breakdown and will ultimately be the downfall of Western society.

Because I'd like for that not to happen.

 

[Sullie]

I'd LOVE to give a Ted Talk on the proper usage of the Reply All button, which by the way is absolutely never, but it would consist of "Hi, my name is Sullie . . .when you click on the Reply All button you've just revealed to the entire world that you're useless, probably in upper management therefor most likely an a-hole." However, if I couldn't do that I'd love to find Doc Brown, jump into his time machine and together we would uninvent the Reply All button by forcing the inventor to feel the pain that we all suffer through, almost everyday, of some moron (usually upper management) that insists upon inappropriately and constantly using the Reply All button.

I know there've already been fantasy football jokes in here, but honestly, I'd have to say fantasy football.

It’s funny that you mention this because my favorite Ted Talk of all time is on this very topic.

If you do the CC line properly the Reply all button can have a purpose. But when you include 75% more people on the CC button than really need to be there the reply all gets out of hand quickly.

There are people that really have no idea what they are doing which helps lead to bad (or sometimes hilarious depending on the subject matter) reply all moments
