Cynics happen when skeptics are right for decades, but no one will listen to them.

Embracing the Streisand effect.

Thanks Obama.

Fyi, accounts that only make political comments, especially ones that have suspicious comment history come across as astroturf or hacked accounts.

How do you have a four year old account with only two comments?

Anyway, still better than Trump.

The primaries are over. The risk of Trump is too high and people spreading 3rd Party ideas right many be trying to demotivate progressives from voting for Harris. I mean, I’m not a big fan of Harris, but I’ll still be voting for her over Trump.

No idea, but I thought this would be a good time to share that teen suicide attempt rates spiked almost 30% in the month following Netflix’s 13 Reasons Why. It’s a pretty bad show, so of course it got 4 seasons.

Maybe we should have a nonprofit that patents terrible ideas and sues companies that would implement them. Maybe I should patent The Tournament Nexus…

Could they just have been holding their hand near their face and the shadow was playing tricks?

Nobody thought of Obama as half white.

They could also capture them and put them in an enclosure. That or spay/neuter them and release back as a compromise. It might be too hard to sedated an animal of that size though.

The game’s not even out yet? Why should anyone talk about it?

Never forget what was taken from us.

I need to speak to an actual college rep on that one. When I completed a shitty high school class, there was no option to redo it.

You’re doing a lot of comparisons to other people in your classes.

The CC teacher was the one judging the other students. She was outside the class and didn’t realize I was already there when I over heard her shit talking her students. The other teacher she was talking to didn’t feel the need to correct her. It was disgusting to hear. The only one here I’m judging here is her.

Technically, the school is only required to provide a free education to people under the age of 18 and who didn’t already have a diploma, but are free to make their own judgements on adults without a diploma. In fact, many states view GEDs as a legally distinct document and do not preclude students from having one.

Regardless of whether or not the school can enroll adults or not, doesn’t effect what classes they can take. If I had completed remedial Geometry for instance, I wouldn’t be allowed to take it at a more advanced level the next year even if I had available time to do it.

I was actually in school at 19, but that didn’t help be get into the better classes when they can just lie and say the class is full. Curious that I was the only one that they ever told the room was full for. Also curious that when I tried to bypass their permission by testing into Honors, they could only tell me that I didn’t pass and not actually show me the test results.

Then you need to catch up…

Then we are in agreement that remedial classes are a joke. I just don’t want that “catching up” to replace freshman at a 4year.

Every place I looked had a freshman requirement be less then two years at a CC and I haven’t found a way to purge bad classes. Every time I research this, people say it’s considered fraud to not fully list courses completed in applications.

It’s depressing and the material doesn’t compare to freshman classes at a 4 year. My credits would be the same, but I would be at an educational disadvantage. I can’t enroll in a 4 year, but I am able to take edX courses. Comparing the two, a CC class is just rehashed high school material with smaller font. An edX course is actually build with the assumption that you would be using the knowledge to do something. The difference is bigger then the difference between remedial HS classes and regular HS classes.

I don’t understand what your problem is with community college

I did 12 years of compulsory school at a remedial level. Every success meant the program worked and every failure meant the program was necessary. The moment I became a legal adult with agency, the free school option ended. I know what “Cs get degrees” feels like and I don’t want to do that anymore.

And absolutely nothing is stopping someone from not transferring credits over. Hell, some people have done it from one university to another because they want a perfect GPA for their next level degree.

I don’t want to transfer credits. I want to re-earn a GPA at a CC and start over a 4 year. My high school decided I was a low preforming student and stuck me in the remedial classes to forget about.
