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
@Beemann Anything yet from Blonde about our little project?
Nay
I should’ve asked when I was on the Colin show.
Call in
Voice to text hates southern accents
Who the hell is Colin?
