I assume this applies only to real wasabi, and not the dyed Horseradish most places call wasabi.

No, hotdogs have traditionally been beef. And they taste great.

replaced by keyboarding and computer skills.

I took those as well as cursive. Plenty of time for both.

just like we study historical documents transcribed by historians and educators.

And it’s always better to have the skills to read them yourself. And being able to read cursive opens up lots of interesting documents, many of which have not been transcribed.

And once again, cursive is extremely easy to learn.

You learn a second language to speak a second language.

And to read in that language, and to translate from that language. Learning cursive is like learning a language, yet it is extremely easy to learn.

if I didn’t waste so much time learning cursive

What time? Cursive takes almost no time to learn. I learned it at the same time as learning print writing. It added almost no time to our writing classes, and I have the ability to read and write in both.

Why are you wasting your energy on this then? You could have shut up many comments ago

Name them. I learned cursive and a bunch of other subjects at 6, and I don’t feel like cursive needed to be replaced by anything.

And by your logic we should just stop teaching history, because it’s already been studied. Let’s stop teaching math because we already created calculators. Let’s stop teaching second languages, because other people have already translated things.

American society and educators who seem to be doing just fine

hahahahaha, American education is garbage these days, no wonder you’re stuck on dumb hill.

And what other skills can we effectively teach six year olds that we aren’t already teaching them at that age? Skills they can actually understand and remember.

And it’s being able to read any historical documents, family letters are just one example I gave. And being able to read documents yourself means you either transcribe it yourself, or verify others transcriptions. If no one can read cursive, you can;t trust the accuracy of previous transcriptions.

So yeah, it’s still somewhat useful, and a lot more useful than most things we can get 6 year olds to remember.

Man, you are dying on dumb hill here.

I imagine for a long time eating was the preferred disposal, don’t waste any calories when food is scarce.

You are massively overestimation how much time it takes to learn cursive.

Also I learned cursive in first grade, when classes on basic financial literacy and sex education are entirely useless.

You really are just being dumb. Learning cursive is a useful skill, and takes almost no class time at an age when advanced subjects will just be forgotten or not at all understood.

Yeah, cause I’m the only person out there with ancestors.

Are you being purposefully dumb?

Being able to read my not-transcribed great-grandmothers letters to my mom is a nice perk of being able to read cursive. And it’s really not hard to learn, and takes little class time.

and we don’t teach typing at all.

I had typing classes.

Because there’s lots of old documents and letters written in cursive, so it’s a useful skill for anyone interested in history.

Absolutely delicious you mean.

Corn dogs are delicious you heathen.

Mostly China and India.

Calling people who disagree with you misguided when it comes to purely matter of tastes is not just talking about one’s opinion, but is in fact insulting other people for no reason. So fuck the author of this particular article.

That just sounds like soup, and delicious.

I honestly had no idea until now that firewater had anything to do with Native Americans. I just thought it was a term for alcohol, and don’t use it myself anyway.

3D modelling and printing. You do need access to a printer (some libraries have them), but the plastics and resins are cheap, and you can make lots of cool stuff.

Yep, Bing is pretty solid as far as search engines go.

My favourite version of that song:
