Another way of saying that is "be the change you want to see in the world". That's all anyone can do. In that you can't do more than that, by definition. But you can do less. Positive change comes only from those who make the choice to do what they can, however small and local that may be.
Then students will just end up paying more in tuition, possibly more than the costs of textbooks. That extra money of course will go to increasing either/both the university president's or lead football coach's salaries.
The colleges will raise tuition anyways, and they do it at a runaway cost. Might as well throw in something useful and tangible like textbooks that they can bargain wholesale with the publishers. Individually, the students can only beg.
I was fully triggered by the hollandiase bit. This is something I look for constantly when I travel for real eggs Benny. It's never real, even at higher end hotels. They just use better quality fake stuff. And it's so good when it's real.
My wife makes real Eggs Benedict for me once a year on my birthday. I went to a resort hotel and spit out their Eggs Benedict it tasted so bad compared to what I get at home. They comped my meal. I guess this explains why I’m constantly confused why Eggs Benedict doesn’t taste right. I’ve found one, maybe two restaurants with passable Eggs Benedict in my city.
More cameras does not equal more security. They aren't put there to protect your property in the same way that HR departments don't exist to protect employees.
No, they're put there to collect grainy images of the perpetrator to distribute after the shooting. It's sad/ineffectual, but still far less nefarious than TFA makes it sound.
This is a relationship question. Like any other relationship in your life that you might see early warning red flags or full-on toxicity right now, you have to consider if continuing to dedicate your limited time and energy to them is healthy for you. That a job takes up a very significant portion of a persons waking time, often as much or more than is given to family, friends, and romantic partners, then it is very important question to have a good answer to.
> I thought the whole purpose of blogs was to share an individual perspective.
This is where you went astray. That is the purpose of some blogs, but the purpose of most internet activity now is to increase some metric that somehow can be transformed into money.
Also, there is no 'right way to teach', but there are 'right ways of teaching'. This difference being that people can respond very differently to the same approach, so many approaches are needed to be effective.
Nick pick ahead. I really dislike this phrasing about people's wealth. 'this person is worth $X', when they really mean 'this person has assets valued at $x'. They own things that have monetary value, they themselves are not assessed that monetary value. Some may think this is an innocuous shorthand, but I see it more of a Freudian slip revealing the the actual belief that the rich really are many 1000s or 100000s of times more valuable than other lesser humans.
Try phasing it another way, 'person x is hoarding over $20M in assets'.
It was indeed an eggcorn, and I knew it was but it had so completely replaced the correct phrase in my mind that I just looked at it like 'that's not right, but I don't know what exactly is wrong about it'
I hadn't thought about this until I recently saw it (lazily) translated to Swedish literally, where it would traditionally be written more akin to "net fortune".
