Damn, I love that outro

Might listen to the call-in show live Wednesday, I don't feel I've gotten my M&B fix from that shortened episode

Does anyone think its fine if you give a restaurant or any food joint a bad review if they get your order wrong?

I wouldn't say it's necessarily wrong but it should be proportional

I agree. I think its excessive if someone gives a place a 1-star review, and just says they got the wrong food

If a place doesn't have that many reviews on a platform, it can look pretty bad for some places

On the flip side, if I had a severe peanut allergy or something and someone fucked up my order on those lines that would be a 1*
I think the content of the review is more important though

That would more than earn a 1-star

If someone botches that after being told of the allergy, that's pretty bad

That's what I mean

I would assume that anyone who will die from eating thing will tell all of their food providers about intolerance to thing

My cousin can’t stand onions, so she says she has an allergy to discourage the use of onions. She still gets onions every now and then.

It’s funny

...

‘Great story; compelling and rich’

I think if I had an allergy that put my life on the line, my life would be completely transformed. I'd only go to places I know wouldnt put me at risk

Yeah.

What are people's thoughts on homeschooling/unschooling here anyway? I dunno about financial logistics but the methodology seems sound

Our founding fathers were all classically educated, and I think of them whenever I think of 'great minds'

So it has to be some kind of healthy learning methodology

@Beemann It completely depends on the parents. I was homeschooled and I have a few mixed feelings on it, however I think I would've done worse in a public school.

Public school fxcked me up for life

Or rather, set me back a lot

Unschooling goes a little further, and basically focuses on where the child is motivated to learn

The argument being that school turns learning into a chore, which is true tbh

Yeah I would have much rather learned backwards. Be tasked with substantive things, and then be taught afterwards about it

Tbh I'm starting to think that being a moderately successful (financially) country with relatively low population density is the optimal way to do things

Low(ish) land costs, easier to start a small business

Just make sure you have an ambiguous number of WMDs and you can largely avoid mass conflict

Going back to the education, I would have liked participating in that experiment they did in (Arizona?) where a whole class was formed from teenage volunteers and put on a ranch

They organized the living arrangement amongst themselved

Assigned jobs and roles to one another

And underwent classical education

Nice

One of the jobs was managing the huge walk-in freezer I think

Was a cool setup

They had no contact with the "outside world" for months

No electricity besides for the essentials

But yeah re: unschooling in general, one of my subscribed podcasts is based around it

So I was curious about it

I started listening because the topics and guests seemed neat
