A “health insurance 101” class would be a better choice in high school then spanish
Or instead of replacing Spanish, give us the option of replacing classes like P.E. with classes like this and personal finance. I would have benefited from that much more.

Woman says pricey vitamin bottle from Shoppers Drug Mart was filled with dried pasta – CityNews
Bauer-Ross headed back to the Shoppers the next day with her receipt and says the manager offered a full refund, or exchange. She accepted an exchange under the condition that she could open the bottle in the store. When she did, she says it was also filled with pasta.
The flummoxed store manager then snatched a third bottle off the shelf and popped the cap, only to find more dried penne. A fourth bottle yielded a similar result.
ive been laughing uncontrollably about this story for a good five minutes or so
In a statement, the company that makes Greens+, Genuine Health, said the vitamin bottles were tampered with after leaving their warehouse.
“We are aware of a few isolated incidents at Shoppers Drug Mart stores in the GTA where our product has been replaced with dry pasta and returned for store refunds,” the company said.
“We have confirmed that the substitution is happening after the product has been packed, sealed and shipped from our facilities, and believe a local consumer is doing this for free product. We have no evidence that would suggest there is any risk to product safety or public health. We are working closely with Shoppers to find the culprit.”
Shoppers Drug Mart, which is owned by Loblaw Companies Limited, acknowledges the tampering and is launching an investigation.
Are they resealing the bottles or something? You’d think an open “tamper resistant” seal would be an early giveaway that something might be off, but I didn’t see anybody mention that in the story.
Had to get a laugh at the absurdity too, but that also jumped out.
If it was aftermarket tampering, at least the fraud(s) did replace the supplements with pasta that’s hard to mistake for what’s supposed to be in the bottle, so it’s very unlikely to be a dangerous substitution. (And I have celiac…) But, it’s still a little worrying that nobody reported noticing anything else unusual while the store manager was opening all those bottles full of penne.

As I get older I’m finding that a lot of the “intellectuals” I used to admire are actually just condescending and pretentious. And also realizing how much more important it is to be present, considerate, and empathetic because nobody really knows what they’re talking about and anyone who claims to know everything about anything is feeding you bs.
“When I was young, I admired clever people. Now that I am old, I admire kind people.”
– Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel
I am also realizing that actual intellectuals make their subjects easy to understand, and faux intelectuals will attempt to baffle.
“I AM HUNGRY”
There is trend going on of smearing Jews.
I saw an article that whole premise of it was that Bernie Sanders in conformation hearing for
deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget
was making it hard for him because he was christian.
Now this wasn’t in some far right online thing or some over the top christian blog.
No this was in an Atlantic article.
And I read it and then read it again to make sure I understood what I read.
See what actually happened was Bernie Sander, a Jewish man, was making sure that the nominee was going to do his job for all the people and not just some.
You might wonder why Bernie Sanders was concerned here is why:
Sanders took issue with a piece Vought wrote in January 2016 about a fight at the nominee’s alma mater, Wheaton College. The Christian school had fired a political-science professor, Larycia Hawkins, for a Facebook post intended to express solidarity with Muslims. Vought disagreed with Hawkins’s post and defended the school in an article for the conservative website The Resurgent. During the hearing, Sanders repeatedly quoted one passage that he found particularly objectionable:
Muslims do not simply have a deficient theology. They do not know God because they have rejected Jesus Christ his Son, and they stand condemned.
“In my view, the statement made by Mr. Vought is indefensible, it is hateful, it is Islamophobic, and it is an insult to over a billion Muslims throughout the world,” Sanders told the committee during his introductory remarks. “This country, since its inception, has struggled, sometimes with great pain, to overcome discrimination of all forms … we must not go backwards.”
Yeah I am concerned too, Bernie.
Later, during the question-and-answer portion of the hearing, Sanders brought this up again. “Do you believe that statement is Islamophobic?” he asked Vought.
“Absolutely not, Senator,” Vought replied. “I’m a Christian, and I believe in a Christian set of principles based on my faith.”
As Russell Moore, the head of the political arm of the Southern Baptist Convention, said in a statement, “Even if one were to excuse Senator Sanders for not realizing that all Christians of every age have insisted that faith in Jesus Christ is the only pathway to salvation, it is inconceivable that Senator Sanders would cite religious beliefs as disqualifying an individual for public office.”
The exchange shows just how tense the political environment under Trump has become. But it’s also evidence of the danger of using religion to deem someone unfit to serve in government.
Bernie didn’t take issue with this guy being christian. Bernie was rightly concerned that the nominee may not do his job for all the citizens.
Sanders: I don’t know how many Muslims there are in America, I really don’t know, probably a couple million. Are you suggesting that all of those people stand condemned? What about Jews? Do they stand condemned too?
Vought: Senator, I am a Christian—
Sanders: I understand that you are a Christian. But this country is made up of people who are not just—I understand that Christianity is the majority religion. But there are other people who have different religions in this country and around the world. In your judgment, do you think that people who are not Christians are going to be condemned?
I don’t know I gotta agree with Bernie here.
So Fox “News” decided to latch onto this story.
And the literally open the article by comparing Bernie Sanders, a Jewish person, to nazis.
They make use the of the famous Holocaust Poem “First they came for the..”
They also claim the Bernie was “ranting” which he was not.
The senator’s press office did not answer that question directly.
To which the article calls that response “an ugly moment in American politics”.
Of course the comments are quite scary and gross.
This one just being one of many:
Been saying it for years ,not only the Muslims are against us.. the Jews vehemenly deny Christ. THEIR job is to erase Christ , from everything why do think they were behind that PHONY president for eight years and then the “church going” Clintons… And if you took a second to add up the folks against Trump most of them are in the TRIBE… MSM, Hollywood,higher education.. Sorry thruth is truth…You notice old Soros isn’t taking any chances this time his attack dogs, Sanders, Schiff, and Schumer… The gentiles, Reid and Pelosi, didn’t get the job done. THEY are the fourth column……………….. Bernie saying, it is just the beginning….. TO ARMS
So if gonna read the comments proceed with caution.

I loved when this one horrible snob accused me of being “anti-English” (in person)–and obviously expected me to immediately start groveling and apologizing. The horrors!
Dude, if your concept of English identity is that wrapped up in the glories of Empire, to the point that you’re automatically interpreting any criticism of colonialism as a personal attack? Yeah, I really am unapologetic about thinking that version of Englishness needed to DIAF a long time ago. For everyone’s sake.
But, of course it did not. And is unlikely to anytime soon.
That particular interaction was darkly funny even at the time. But it’s just the most blatantly ridiculously overblown one so far.
