Shaunā€™s video on The Bell Curve demonstrates just how much IQ tests are tools leveraged by eugenicists to spread misinformation with the veil of scientific rigor, but itā€™s all bullshit. They still have to lie and manipulate the data even when the design is flawed and already biased to give them the results they wanted for their narrative.

ty to my hs student teacher for psych who sat us all down in class during our intelligence unit and had us watch a 40 minute, uncensored (lots of swearing), video essay about the history of iq tests and hoe they have and still support eugencist ideas and dont function well. He was so fucking real for that

MTGO is pay to play, and the ways you actually go infinite on it have on average a higher caliber of players than Arena. Arena is relatively free-to-play friendly tbh. Depending on the meta, you can absolutely climb the ladder using extremely accessible decks especially if youā€™re in the Bo1 queues. Bo3 is going to be more difficult because thatā€™s going to be more enfranchised/competitive players on average, but you can do well without breaking the bank (from time to time).

You can separate out the whites and yolks, whisk them separately (make sure not to over-whip the whites, you arenā€™t trying to turn them into a meringue or anything) youā€™re aiming for smooth-ness rather than foamy, foamy means you went too far (and if it starts weeping, it means you went WAY too far), combine the sugar into the yolks, whisk till smooth, combine other liquid ingredients in till smooth, combine with whites, and stir until fully combined.

This mixture will be much lighter, and more aerated than normal, so the volume may be higher. What you want to do is soak the bread in the custard and let it sit until it absorbs it.

When you go to cook it, fry it as normal, but Iā€™d recommend before the last flip, sprinkle coarse sugar onto the toast in order to get a lil caramelization on the one side.

Anyway, a couple of the easiest mistakes to avoid is 1) soaking your bread for longer. 2) Making sure the custard is smooth and fully combined. Bits of scrambled eggs probably means undercombined and the custard being primarily on the outside rather than being absorbed by the bread, or some such like that. You donā€™t have to separate out the eggs, but imo it helps with the texture.

The stuff you soak your bread in is called a custard. ā€œCustardā€ basically just means a mixture of eggs and dairy (usually milk, usually with sugar). Specifically, one used in sweets. Itā€™s an emulsion. Usually when people talk about custard, theyre generally talking about French custard, I think? I mean, that or creme anglaise, maybe. Now that I think about it, Iā€™m not 100% sure lol
