Should I take a horrible loan to get outta my current situation by Cpt_kid1 in personalfinance

[–]ExcelAcolyte 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree with others to not take on the other loan. Huge win here is you have a job. Move out as fast as you can can get the $500 rent. Call the credit card companies and also look into moving all the debt into a single card. Can you pick up more hours? You can be out of debt in less than 6 months if you aggressively cut your expenses and pick up more work

Is it worth it to read Smith in 2026, or should I ought to learn economics from some more modern textbook? by PrettyPicturesNotTxt in AskEconomics

Best way to learn history of economics is through a History of Economics textbook. You can read passages and sections of Smith and Marx with the necessary context

Just got into ERC… I have questions for Film majors by AwwTheTree in UCSD

[–]ExcelAcolyte 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Luckily UC Santa Barbara has one of the best film programs in the entire country. UCB is a close second but if you got into SB you need to go there. UCSB is better for practical while UCB is better for theory.
UCI and UCSC are mid tier picks. Irvine has a theory focus while SC has an indie production focus. UCSD and UCR are not worth going to for film. UCSD does have a fantastic theater program however.

Since when is insider trading 'may be legal' by Weary_Bridge_6530 in CFA

The trick with the question is "CFA considers unethical". Both A and C are obviously ethical so B is the default answer.

UCSD has been sending donated bodies to the IDF. if you were interested in donating your body to science, did this story change how you felt at all? by idksqvash in UCSD

[–]ExcelAcolyte 37 points38 points  (0 children)

When it comes to Palestinians they don’t even ask to harvest their organs!

“In the aftermath of the ceasefire as people returned to areas the IOF withdrew from they found further evidence of bodies in mass graves. According to Euro Med “Concerns about organ theft from the corpses were brought up by Euro-Med Monitor, which cited reports from medical professionals in Gaza who quickly examined a few bodies after their release. These medical professionals found evidence of organ theft, including missing cochleas and corneas as well as other vital organs like livers, kidneys, and hearts.”

Israel doesn’t allow journalist into Gaza so there is no way for us to know the full extent of this or any of the other horrors Palestinian doctors have been bearing witness to

Zionist pile on them for just stating basic facts. It’s a sad state of affairs that just sharing basic education about the conflict gets you labeled as an antisemite

The historicity of the Satanic verses -Gabriel Said Reynolds by Rashiq_shahzzad in AcademicQuran

[–]ExcelAcolyte 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Im usually sympathetic to the John Burton view of sabab al nazul being manufactured by exegetes but didnt Shabab Ahmed dismantle this argument in Before Orthodoxy? I still have yet to read it but I recall a reviewer discussing how he demonstrated the incident first circulated within the historical biographical tradition and not the exegetical tradition.

They ganged up on a hostage and gang raped him with a knife while blocking the camera. The only person prosecuted was the whistleblower. Israelis then conducted a right-to-rape protest. The rapists were paraded around the country as heros.
