The general consensus in education is that the content of financial literacy courses is not generalizeable, memorable, specific, or timeless enough to be useful after graduation (kids forget too much, and what they do remember is either not applicable for the specific scenarios they encounter or actually gives the…

There is supplementary material, but those seem to mostly be pieces to sub in where the topic minorities are most present. These are actually where a lot of the controversy came from, as it seemed to be trying to cover up the groups and racial experiences of groups that didn’t fit the central dogmas the CRT professors…

Yeah, but I would think that would be the Marx Brothers of Hitchcock, not the fucking Thundercats.

A Jewish newspaper in the UK decided to see what was going on in Urdu YouTube, and it turns out nothing good:

Dev Patel and Riz Ahmed look more like bond than Craig. It would also be fun to see what diverse characters there are in back catalogues, like the Asian detective/agent fad from the ‘30's and ‘40's.

I tend to like the anti-diet people better, but that whole “97% of diets fail” statistic can’t be the whole story.

I mean, my people have been following the complex rules of kashrus for thousands of years, so it’s clearly doable.

Somewhat, but that’s like saying economics being a complex topic means that cutting your spending to less than your income won’t add to your savings. There’s a lot going on and there are feedback loops, but they don’t really change the final logic, are much smaller than many pretend, and are usually used as an excuse…

Diets are like budgets (which might make muscle some for of illiquid savings?). They’re something everyone has, but “dieting” and “budgeting” are conceived of as short-term processes of privation and somewhat stigmatized by (defensive) hedonists. They both have various, often contradictory proposed best practices that…

He’s also getting some pushback from Jewish communities over his “Space Jews” shtick, which implied that Jews left of their own accord and are repeating the exact same treatment they received themselves, a storyline about as applicable to blacks in Liberia. The “Jews are the real Nazis” argument in particular gets…

As if they’re giving them out for free.

You do realize those curly red wigs that are omnipresent in costume shops come straight down from Shylock, right?

That’s actually well within the normal hierarchy of causes/factors:

Is going through thrift stores to find good stuff and then doing the research to mark them for interested buyers really any different than the old practice of going to flea markets with basic knowledge to identify crap as antiques to sell with the actual provenance (and research) for a considerable mark-up?

I’ll take “how to out yourself as the intern at a low-tier ‘new media’ outlet for $200,” Alex.

You notice if you have to benchmark and edit text a lot, and block text can be a bit off if you fight the automatic spacing by adding an extra space.

To be fair, I’ve been using Excel for over a decade and I still have trouble with its chart UI. It seems programmed to read the rows and columns wrong and hide the commands to correct it.

Yeah, I don’t want to sound like my dad insisting that I lack computer literacy for not knowing how a soldering iron works, but it seems like most people younger than me know little more than how to waste money in mobile games.

The Bond franchise managed to survive Bonnie and Clyde and the movement it started, literally called “New Hollywood.” Hell, I’m having trouble even finding an influence on the series, although for all I know a bunch of crew members died in the making of The Spy Who Loved Me (there’s a reason auteur/New Hollywood…

It’s currently industry standard for private insurance in my area, as least when the baldness is due to disease or medical treatment, and I could have sworn I’d seen in on an LCD.
