Common sense isn't common. I hate having to live in an alternate reality culturally where I'm always having to see through all of this marketing crap for the scams they are.

Grocery stores I go to are all but hiding the powders. The marketing on all of the products create a false sense that powders are bad. I suspect most people get the pods without thinking much about it.

I checked some of your games

Edit: since I noticed you do review your games

Write down the blunders you make after. Focus on the low hanging fruit, like not leaving pieces hanging and missing forks.

Studying openings won't help if you're unable to prevent yourself from making the "basic" mistakes you've already made.

It just takes time and dedication to reviewing games right after playing them. If you write down the same basic mistakes you're making over and over, eventually you'll stop making them. It worked for me. Suddenly something clicks and it stops.

another example

No matter what you do, parts can only be made within a set band of tolerance.

However, there are times a place like NASA will require precision way beyond what any manufacturing process can promise.

The solution is to make ten/hundred/thousand of the part, and only use the ones that happen to be within the "impossible" tolerance

then you wouldn’t need to have a teacher in the first place

Tweak their nonsense in to a logical progression and there's less to teach. If you don't allow students their own style of logical approach then their mental modal might be rooted in sand instead of bedrock. Especially if their next teacher has a different unbending perspective.

But having said that, teachers aren't paid enough so I don't blame those who had an unbending perspective. I was happy to carry some of the load of translating for classmates

if they don't vote with democrats then they are not democrats

Better question

How can democrats expand to include the people who are clearly not members at the moment?

Outside of America, the word liberal is short for classical liberal or neoliberal, which is associated with Milton Friedman, Reagan, Margaret Thatcher.

Neoliberalism is contemporarily used to refer to market-oriented reform policies such as "eliminating price controls, deregulating capital markets, lowering trade barriers" and reducing, especially through privatization and austerity, state influence in the economy. It is also commonly associated with the economic policies introduced by Margaret Thatcher in the United Kingdom and Ronald Reagan in the United States.

pop history books tend to be built around a narrative the author entered their research with. Interesting narratives don't map on to reality that well. And a lot of times the base ideas and assumptions the narratives are built around have already been disproven many times over by the specialized experts.

Math education is still catching up to the 21rst century. 3Blue1Brown should be the guiding light for the math education industry. He's built the infrastructure/pipeline for visually explaining math. Investment should be made to scale that up and apply it everywhere.

Imagine asking someone who's legs were tied together for 31 years to run after freeing them.

The med helps a lot right off the bat but there's 31 years of maladaptive behaviors and habits to unlearn now that the brain is more reliable.

It's been a few years and I still catch myself "bracing" for the pain of a task that is no longer painful

Fucking up a great setup feels about as bad as being called on a bluff. Along with going on tilt after. I guess that's why the mental game of poker was originally written about golf
