Get the $0.00 mug.Also known as “MAGA-in-Chief” to ex-president Trump’s hardcore white supporters, who believe that their “anointed” boss lost the election due to “fraudulent” black votes. A notorious title that was unprovenly conferred by both world and religious leaders, who breathed a sign of relief when the corrupt president was rejected and ejected from the White House, whom they also nicknamed as “Commander in Cheat.”
No US President or head of state has received so many titles other than North Korean dictator-and-murderer Kim Jong-un: Liar-in-Chief, Pinocchio-in-Chief, Fraudster-in-Chief, …, MAGA in Cheat, Insurrectionist-in-Chief, White Supremacist-in-Chief, to cite a few common ones.

Get the MAGA in Cheat mug.When being late has become such a bad habit or perpetual sin among lots of selfish people that it is easier to apologize for making everybody wait for them than make the effort to being on time.
Saying sorry is conveniently easy and seldom comes with a penalty, but planning their time to be punctual is pretty hard for an unhealthy number of folks—for them, “no sorry, be on time” sounds like Greek to them.

Get the No Sorry, Be on Time mug.An acknowledgment that we have to respect rather than reject the virus—we needn’t be petrified or paralyzed by the pandemic, but we must not lose sight of the danger the virus poses, which could result in death, in the event of infection or reinfection (with or without vaccination).
After governments realized that “Zero Covid” wasn’t feasible, they reluctantly shifted their strategy to “Living with Covid-19,” as their populations reach endemicity and hopefully achieve herd immunity in a-not-too-distant future.

Get the Living with Covid-19 mug.The unwritten or unspoken commandment for math educators worldwide not to conceal their weaknesses or deficiencies, or to pretend that they could figure out the answers by themselves; instead, they would be wiser to turn to their Creator, the Greatest Mathematician, for wisdom and insight to solve their logical, psychological, or mathematical difficulties.
If more math teachers, writers, or editors were to put into practice the “Thou Shalt Not Mask Your Math” commandment, they needn’t frustratingly spend so much time and effort in solving their mathematical ills, because the Holy Spirit could in a twinkle of an eye reveal to them the solutions, which would otherwise have taken them a hundred or thousand times longer to figure them out.

Get the Thou Shalt Not Mask Your Math mug.When a math teacher decides not to hurt the feelings of their weak students, by insincerely using large numbers and symbols to grade their test paper—for example, a student receiving back their exam paper with a score of (√81)/90 or 4²/100, mistaking it for 81/100 or 42/100.
Some parents object to teachers’ “mathematical sensitivity” or fake feedback, preferring that they’d tell their child the painful truth how poorly they had performed in their math test.

To get the customers to return, apply the hotdog formula to your business: offer them something positive, which would make them forget about any inconveniences they’ve experienced—put them in a positive frame of mind at the end of their shopping trip.
