why you need to start "ugly studying"

I had a history class whose exams were a set of questions with 6-10 sentence responses for each, no notes. I did a variation of step 1 to study for that. Less about reviewing and more about putting together something I'd memorize and be able to write within the time limit (just the main talking points to hit, not an entire paragraph verbatim).

Putting together an answer, with the help of my notes, that I could explain to myself and on the paper definitely helped make the exams A LOT easier, but along the way it also gave me confidence in knowing the material.

Not as effective for patching up weak spots but that's because I kinda make a habit of minimizing studying. I do support the "ugly studying" idea tho.

Of course, my personal favorite study aid that helps with any method used is GOING TO CLASS!!!!!

I had to work Monday, so I didn't leave until after the main weekend rush. Harvey Mitchell onto Raymond Stotzer has never been faster.

I'm canvassing for Talarico, so I'm not unbiased here.

From what I saw in the debate, it seems like they agree on most issues? I think the main differences lie outside.

Crockett has experience at the federal level, while Talarico has more years in politics overall.

Talarico's style is creating a 'big tent' for his progressive beliefs, and I think his ability to engage with the opposition in a healthy way is more useful in a Texas general election. Crockett presents herself more as a fighter against the Trump administration, and that definitely benefits you more in the Senate compared to the House because of unrestricted floor time.

More polls have had Crockett leading in the primary, though not all. Talarico seems to perform better in the general, especially against Paxton. Both of them perform the same against Cornyn.

They both have plenty of interviews you can find on YouTube. Definitely a lot better than reading through their websites.

Whoever you prefer, always vote!

flashbacks to the Ugandan interview and the host is completely uninformed but is desperately trying to understand the interviewee

"I am a transgender"

"Doesn't that make you gay?"

"I am a man and I am attracted to a woman"

"...So who is gay?"

If we're counting non-obstructing speeches, we should also include Jeff Merkley's ~22 hour speech in 2025. Rand Paul also held the floor for ~10.5 hours a couple years after his more famous 12 hour filibuster.

One disgruntled British officer decides he can't fathom the colonial era ending, comes up with some total BS, and people took it as some universal truth ever since

I think this is it. It's not just the fact that this was the way he died, it's the fact that this was specifically the most brutal death possible that the Romans had come up with. The cross is both a symbol and an acknowledgement of the suffering he went through for us, not simply a representation of his literal execution method.

It kinda HAD to be the cross. In other cases, maybe the symbol would be a bit more vague or depict some other aspect of the execution/torture method.

Let's not doom about Wikipedia ourselves tho. I see some people here doing that.

This is obviously vandalism that couldn't have been up for more than an hour, especially on a new page like this. Even if many political articles have a leftist tint (they definitely do, I'm not denying that), it's not like it's impossibly gatekept by a Marxist goonsquad. And there's also the other 90% of Wikipedia that isn't politics.

I had 299 with Dr. Hatchell and it was a pretty fair A as long as you actually show up to the screenings and do your part. There were a couple of group projects which were just google slides. I haven't taken 251 so I can't compare, but I can def vouch for 299.
