[hybrid crag]

Except I didn't act holier than thou after making those generalizations which were mainly about England mind you

[iron flicker]

https://tenor.com/view/allllrightythen-alllrightythen-gif-21597738

[latent valley]

I have no idea if the stores are closed today

I have to check

[hybrid crag]

Easter

[iron flicker]

It is if you have enough alcohol

[hybrid crag]

People have been talking about it here from all over the world all day

[edgy oracle]

its easter monday also a bank holiday in UK

[latent valley]

omg I was right the stores are closed

[hybrid crag]

Which surprised me

[latent valley]

I might cry

[iron flicker]

Happy times, don't have to go into the store today, love a day off

[hybrid crag]

I was aware Easter was a huge religious holiday but hearing it's pretty spread was kinda cool I've never celebrated it regardless.

[latent valley]

it's almost like

Christianity exist all over the world

[cobalt pond]

yea same i don't celebrate it as well

[hybrid crag]

I know that

Doesn't mean the holiday does

[cobalt pond]

yep

[latent valley]

huh

[hybrid crag]

Almost like not all countries celebrate the same holidays

https://tenor.com/view/oh-wow-you-dont-say-michael-office-wow-michael-scott-gif-11124235989547302113

[latent valley]

Easter is a Christian holiday wym

[cobalt pond]

ofc

[cobalt pond]

don't worry she blocked me she can read my messages xd

[terse latch]

Not everyone is christian

[hybrid crag]

^

[cobalt pond]

yea ik

[latent valley]

I know?? I never claimed that??

I never said the whole world is Christian

I said Christianity is spread all over the world and therefore Easter is a big thing in a lot of countries

one of the most important holidays, no?

[terse latch]

Not my place

[hybrid crag]

No tbh

[terse latch]

They just use christmax to sell stuff

[latent valley]

in a lot of christian branches, yes

[cobalt pond]

its general

[latent valley]

doesn't mean people gotta celebrate it ofc

[hybrid crag]

Not even a big holiday here in fact a lot of people don't celebrate it bc it goes against their religion even though they're Christian

[edgy oracle]

i just eat chocolate easter eggs i bought for myself

[latent valley]

same LMAO that's how I "celebrate" it

[iron flicker]

Wait til tomorrow when they're all discounted 😄

[hybrid crag]

Interesting topic bc the many branches have different beliefs

[terse latch]

Yea i never have a buddism holiday

[warped hound]

Because jesus never died according to them?
(Sorry I'm not very well versed in christianity)

[hybrid crag]

That's not true

[latent valley]

the whole point of christianiy is that jesus died

what was that spelling damn

[cobalt pond]

during eid we get 3 days holidays yep

in my area

[terse latch]

He did, he just come back later

[hybrid crag]

The word all is super broad

Usually girls on league are just trying to get skins

[latent valley]

how does that make it better 😭

[hybrid crag]

They're fake accounts this is a known fact

[iron flicker]

Dang that's a slippery slope to another discussion lmfao

[terse latch]

I agree

[hybrid crag]

Is there gonna be like a problem with

[devout wing]

no way ur over 30 get off discord

[latent valley]

if you say so

[hybrid crag]

Every small thing I say?

[warped hound]

I will assume the skins she is referring to are the cosmetics in game and not the other kind of skin

[hybrid crag]

https://tenor.com/view/waiting-gif-4372156584801469333

[latent valley]

[terse latch]

Solo yasuo bro

[warped hound]

I only ever tried league ONCE

[hybrid crag]

Unranked I don't play league

Lmao

I played rift however

[terse latch]

No i mean tft rank

[hybrid crag]

Ohhhh I'm silver

[warped hound]

Figured MOBAs are just not my kind of game

[terse latch]

Ha noob

[latent valley]

I tried Dota too and it was better but I never got into it either

[hybrid crag]

I am new to it actually

But I'm getting better

https://tenor.com/view/kermit-nod-nod-kermit-kermit-the-frog-gif-462345856512872323

Played the last set and this set to max bp

[iron flicker]

I feel sorry for you starting to play now, it's in such a horrible state

[devout wing]

[hybrid crag]

cough arcane pipeline

[latent valley]

me when babies are born in 2025

[iron flicker]

So?

[latent valley]

what are you on about, lmao

[terse latch]

Virgin arcane vs chad fall out

[latent valley]

why is that weird

[hybrid crag]

I feel like

[warped hound]

Bro wants a e-date

[hybrid crag]

Mobas translate well tbh

Bc I understand the mechanics of league

I just don't like clicking

[hybrid crag]

Im mobile moba player

[terse latch]

People say dota better tho

In balancing

[hybrid crag]

Mobile legends/HoK mainly

I've played all of the mobile mobas tho

[iron flicker]

Legit feels like he came here just to meet girls and realised they're women

[terse latch]

Oh i played hok since highschool

[hybrid crag]

Lot of people play hok

[terse latch]

It was so easy

[devout wing]

im js asking??? im not saying it weird

[iron flicker]

Dang, aint that hard af?

[devout wing]

posay

[hybrid crag]

No...

[latent valley]

then why are you asking haha

[terse latch]

Easier than pc

[hybrid crag]

I feel like it depends on what time you q for mobile mobas

Bc vpners are insane

[latent valley]

also, I was right. the stores are closed

[terse latch]

Tbh i didnt remember

[hybrid crag]

Like on the NA servers if you q at 1 am for instance

[terse latch]

I guess i play in asia server

Bunch of noob

[iron flicker]

I spose if it's made for mobile ig it'll be fine, I just had a mental image of trying to play league on a touch screen 🤮

[hybrid crag]

Your getting all myanmar teams that tank ur ms

[devout wing]

IM JS CURIOUS

[hybrid crag]

Idk why myanmar chooses NA as their playgrounds for vpns but it makes rank annoying

[devout wing]

DAMN

[terse latch]

I play wild rift lol

[latent valley]

I just don't know what to answer haha. I'm here because I'm here

[hybrid crag]

Tbh rift isn't that bad

It's too long for a mobile moba tho

[terse latch]

Wild rift is fun until diamond rank

[iron flicker]

Any good?

[hybrid crag]

Games take too long I play on mobile bc I want 20 min games

[terse latch]

Easier control, nice skins, lower playertime

[hybrid crag]

That's the biggest turn off when it comes to league

Time commitment

[terse latch]

But cant chat all

[iron flicker]

Because The Sims is a very old franchise and many of us have been waiting for a competitor for a long time.

[hybrid crag]

An hour is too damn long

[terse latch]

Banned chat all is the only thing i dont like ab wild rift

[latent valley]

sims 1 peak

[iron flicker]

League has its swift mode now at least

[hybrid crag]

Im too turned off by it to try that

Maybe if there was like swift mode rank

[dreamy ferry]

leagueee yayyy

[terse latch]

Like i could insult the enemy top laner for the whole match in pc

[hybrid crag]

Idk

[latent valley]

HI BBY

[terse latch]

But mobile banned that feature

[hybrid crag]

I also like ban pick

Bc a game with over 200 characters needs ban pick

[latent valley]

idk if they did that yet but they introduced that to ow

[hybrid crag]

https://tenor.com/view/bruh-abbott-elementary-gregory-greg-abbott-gif-11973503723217435922

[latent valley]

I don't play comp tho

so idk how it works

[hybrid crag]

A game with 100 heroes needs ban pick

[iron flicker]

Especially when they have no idea how to balance champs anymore lol

[hybrid crag]

Tbfh

Yeah ban pick is

I need rank

But fast

That's it

Pmao

[terse latch]

Now i retired just watch league esport

[hybrid crag]

League is funner to watch than play

[hybrid crag]

50 isn't old either

[latent valley]

[hybrid crag]

I don't think it is at least

[terse latch]

Nah im too handsome to be 40

[latent valley]

[devout wing]

[iron flicker]

I remember minecraft when it was nothing but creative mode 😂

[hybrid crag]

In fairly odd parents Vicky calls Timmy a twerp

Butnifc that meme isn't on tenor smh

Ofc*

[latent valley]

I remember ( 🧓🏼 ) when my friend showed me Minecraft when it was fairly new and I was like "lol no"

but TBF that was me with discord too

[iron flicker]

An to think it'd still be going as strong as ever today

[latent valley]

[hybrid crag]

It took alot of convincing when I was younger to get me onto to discord

[devout wing]

so whats ur exact age

[iron flicker]

Skype?! I was using Teamspeak or ventrillo 😄

[warm dew]

My daily check in of @wooden coral 601 days left

[hybrid crag]

I left it unlocked for a day and they took my lil change

I changed my name bc of vaseline

[latent valley]

you're so real for that 😭

don't let that man win

[hybrid crag]

Nah he gave me a nickname I didn't want to catch on

Had to assert dominance

[latent valley]

[hybrid crag]

Worst they can call me now is "baka"

And that'll make them look cringe

sadistic time table for the buses

they usually go every 15 minutes

i'm stuck

[hybrid crag]

Tweaking at military time even though I can read it as easily as 12 hour format

https://tenor.com/view/narenare-confusing-anime-girl-anime-girl-crying-twirl-gif-6227358875683551131

[latent valley]

took me a while to lean 12 hour clok

clock

but nowadays i use it... more?

when i speak english

even with non-americans

idk why

[hybrid crag]

I think that the fact that I can read an original clock

Is all I need fr

[latent valley]

lmaoo

fair

if it works it works

[hybrid crag]

Can't touch me bc for some reason a lot of people cant

[terse latch]

lol look like we re unable to play

[hybrid crag]

Yeah I was trying

[terse latch]

oh well

[hybrid crag]

But there's 0 invite button

Makes 0 sense

[terse latch]

it keeps saying unble to join party

[hybrid crag]

Solo game literally you're choice to lag effects you LMAO

[latent valley]

isn't it because your rank difference is too big

(gen question)

[hybrid crag]

No

We tried normal too

[terse latch]

nah i off to read harry potter fanfic now

[latent valley]

oh

[hybrid crag]

Im also off

[latent valley]

rip

[hybrid crag]

I wonder if schools still teach how to read clock hands

Doesn't matter kids are so bad they won't pay attention anyways.

[latent valley]

yes, they do

[hybrid crag]

https://tenor.com/view/bernie-mac-smh-gif-27571314

They do here too

[latent valley]

i talked about that with my friend in texas

[hybrid crag]

But it doesn't feel like it

At all

[latent valley]

which made me go deep into the texan curriculum like a nerd

[hybrid crag]

Texas curriculum is...

Well at least it isn't Florida

Is all im gonna say

[latent valley]

LMAO

[hybrid crag]

Love my family but uh hope they make sure their kids are actually learning

[latent valley]

when i was a kid our curriculum was only 20 pages long

it's 300 pages now

[hybrid crag]

It's crazy bc I am recently graduated

From hs

Problem isn't the teachers or curriculum

It's the kids.

[latent valley]

hard disagree but i don't have the energy for that discussion haha

but you can say what you think bout it

(if you want)

[hybrid crag]

You also have to remember I didn't grow up in texas

All I have to say about it 5p states with very different education curriculums

50*

[latent valley]

all i can say is that what i've learned as a teacher

is that it's always the Parents fault

[hybrid crag]

Well yeah

Ofc

[latent valley]

parents SUCK

[hybrid crag]

When I say the kids I am implying the parents

Heavily

[latent valley]

i saw a study in sweden about how the worst part about being a teacher is the parents

[hybrid crag]

Parents all wanna think their kid is special

And they are to them

[strange sage]

Ur 21?

[hybrid crag]

Don't get me wrong

[hybrid crag]

Yeah 2022 graduate

[latent valley]

don't even get me started on when kids act like a-holes and their parents refuse to believe it

which makes the kids act even worse

[strange sage]

I was 17 when I graduated

[hybrid crag]

Pretty recent regarding education

I honestly don't know how old I was

And I'm not doing the math

[latent valley]

we have Really strict laws in sweden when it comes to what we are allowed to do. legally, we are not allowed to grab a kid unless they are a clear danger to themselves or others

[cobalt pond]

i graduated 2 weeks ago

[latent valley]

teachers has been convicted for it

like, they grabbed a kids arm to stop them

etc

[hybrid crag]

Kids around the world are getting the short end of the stick rn when it comes to parents

Im sorry millennials

But

[latent valley]

no you are correct

[hybrid crag]

It's true

[latent valley]

millennial parents are crazy

[hybrid crag]

They aren't crazy they're just... odd which makes their kids crazy

[latent valley]

wide, WIDE generalization now ofc

[hybrid crag]

Have you heard of unschooling?

https://tenor.com/view/crash-out-crashing-out-dem-shill-crashing-out-dem-shll-crash-out-dem-shill-gif-7711190705024656490

[latent valley]

unfortunately yes

"I'm teaching my kids life skills like cooking and cleaning"

you are suppoesd to teach them that anyway???

[hybrid crag]

It's odd because I agree that kids should have focused education

Starting after 8th grade

But before then just no

Lowk high school was a waste of time

[latent valley]

the us in general have a really different view on education that the nordic countries

[hybrid crag]

I use nothing from it except English

4 years down the drain

[latent valley]

we follow the social cultural perspective like slaves

while the us is more grade based

[hybrid crag]

Huh?

Elaborate

[latent valley]

yeah so like

ok trying to explain in english hold on

[hybrid crag]

I know that doesn't mean what I think it means

Im just not sure what that is

[latent valley]

do you know what the social cultural perspective is?

[hybrid crag]

No use lame mens terms

[latent valley]

it's basically just "learn together", and also a lot of learn by playing

[hybrid crag]

Oh

[latent valley]

we don't focus on grades

[hybrid crag]

So like teambuildingM

And social skills

[latent valley]

the grades don't mean much in sweden

[hybrid crag]

Working toward a collective goal basically

[latent valley]

yeah that's a huge part!

[hybrid crag]

Yeah here grades mean less than eastern countries

[latent valley]

google can explain better than me

"Sociocultural Perspective or Sociocultural Orientation is an individual's worldview (perspective) as formed by their social and cultural contact."

[hybrid crag]

But more than other western countries

It's like a weird limbo

[strange sage]

Social equivalent of touching grass

Wish we had more sociocultural education in us primary

[hybrid crag]

Yeah

The problem to me is really just hs

[latent valley]

thankfully the us is ... fairly good at learn by playing, no?

correct me if i'm wrong

[hybrid crag]

Shouldn't feel like I wasted 4 years

[strange sage]

Well kids aren’t given enough time to play

[hybrid crag]

No you're correct

Didi lives I a different state than I

[latent valley]

during grade 1-3 here, the kids rarely sit down

[hybrid crag]

That's another problem here

[latent valley]

at a desk/table/whatever

[hybrid crag]

Education is different depending on the state you are in

[strange sage]

True

[latent valley]

yeah ik

[hybrid crag]

Also different depending on what district

Vastly different

It's ridiculous

[strange sage]

Which is why I think education should be federally regulated

But that could be seen as overreach

[hybrid crag]

I don't know

[latent valley]

schools in texas and kansas (from what ive heard from teacchers, aka, anecdotally) apparently use the curriculums REALLY different?

while in sweden it's like

[hybrid crag]

The problem with that is how big the usa is

[latent valley]

yeah, we have this, follow it

[strange sage]

It’s all different between states, districts, and private vs public divide

[hybrid crag]

Yep

[latent valley]

i know 😭

that's why i brought up texas and kansas as examples

[hybrid crag]

The reason you meet so many people of varying degrees of education is solely bc of the mess of an education system we have rn

[strange sage]

Midwestern hard red states have the worst educational outcomes in the country generally due to their anti social welfare policies

[hybrid crag]

Like for instance, I studied many countries but honestly in school I learned very little about Europe(using the spelling).

[strange sage]

I recently saw a video of a girl who sued her school for graduating her without the ability to read

[latent valley]

we have to know at least 75% of the european countries and 50% of asia and africa i think

in high school

but

not the US states

[hybrid crag]

Most of what I know about Europe is either about some of the countries and their tyranny historically (France, Spain) or how their actions led to our countries creation

[latent valley]

😭

which kinda sucks

[hybrid crag]

Beyond that my historical studies were mainly about SA

[strange sage]

Only like 10 states matter lmfao

[hybrid crag]

South America

Im not using acronyms around here bro

[latent valley]

oh yeah we don't learn shit about south america

except like

[strange sage]

My curriculum barely covered South America

[latent valley]

the big countries

[hybrid crag]

See but there's also cultural context

[strange sage]

In both public and private

[latent valley]

The amount of adults i've talked to who refuse to believe mexico is in north america

[hybrid crag]

Remember how I said colorado is 42% native?

Our population is largely South American immigrants

[strange sage]

Are they Americans lmao

[latent valley]

LMAO no

[hybrid crag]

American literacy rates never ceases to amuse me but it’s simultaneously so sad

Central american/South American

Tbh

So our curriculum makes sense for us

Problem is that "it makes sense" doesn't translate well to other states like maine for instance

Idk how we would fix that system tbh

[strange sage]

It’s horrific when you consider that anyone above 18 can vote

That girl that sued her school would be able to vote in a year without being able to read

[hybrid crag]

Nah the new generation is just

Plain

Hm

Simply put they can't read

I want to be nice about it and remember I'm not in that kind of server.

[strange sage]

A lot of boomers have low literacy too but it didn’t really matter as much

[hybrid crag]

Can't make grey area jokes

[latent valley]

i also think it's a shame a lot of americans learn more languages

[warm dew]

My younger brother is pretty smart, but he purposefully likes to stress me out with brain rot and dumb ideas

[latent valley]

some do, i know!

[hybrid crag]

Im pretty ok with hearing spanish

Can't read or write it

Sux

[latent valley]

we are forced to learn 2 more languages

AT LEAST 2 more

[strange sage]

Language classes are among the first programs cut as a result of low funding in my experience

[hybrid crag]

Im gonna learn how to read/write it though bc that looks good on an application

[latent valley]

i'm currently learning spanish because i'm down bad for a hispanic dude so 👏🏼 😮‍💨

it's easier than i thought it would be

[warm dew]

I had to take a foreign language class to graduate high school 👀

[hybrid crag]

Yeah in learning it for uh

Money

[forest scarab]

I had to mandatory learn 6 languages

[latent valley]

considering i already speak 5 languages

[hybrid crag]

I do think it sucks that we aren't taught language froma young age

[latent valley]

crazy

[strange sage]

In primary school our only two language programs were cut and in secondary I only had to take language for 3 years out of 7

[warm dew]

There are folks with exceptions but they require like documented disabilities with an IEP

in my high school*

[hybrid crag]

You can learn languages easier as a child than an adult

[latent valley]

here we have to learn english and choose between spanish, german or french. some learn mandarin or italian

[forest scarab]

I however completely suck at languages, like, I'm so insanely bad at it. So I speak like 0 languages properly

[iron flicker]

Pretty much what I was saying before, your education system is always leaning to America this, America that, we are the best etc

cbf getting into this again

[hybrid crag]

And tbh we are required to learn a language

But the teachers here that teach the language classes suck at it

Im ngl

[strange sage]

We learn America’s the best in primary. Then we get our time wasted in secondary

[hybrid crag]

Literally

Highschool was a waste of time

[warm dew]

I feel like I got a very different education in the US rn even though I went to public school

[iron flicker]

So why get all defensive earlier when I said your education system is bad?

[hybrid crag]

21 and still haven't used any of it

[iron flicker]

Baffled.

[latent valley]

look i will never get over the pledge of allegiance thing in schools. it terrifies me

[strange sage]

Daka did u start school late

[hybrid crag]

Nope

[forest scarab]

I had to learn Dutch and English in like, primary / baby / whatever school, French, German and Latin were added to that in high school alongside those. In university English and one language of choice out of a few options

[hybrid crag]

Started early by standard

[strange sage]

Terrifies me too in hindsight lmao

[hybrid crag]

I was on the younger side of the kids in my grade

[strange sage]

How did you graduate at 21

[hybrid crag]

I have no clue

Im born in January

If that helps

[strange sage]

It doesn’t LMAOOO

[latent valley]

https://tenor.com/9KJE.gif

didi rn

[forest scarab]

https://tenor.com/view/what-do-they-mean-random-numbers-gif-10654449

[strange sage]

I’m so confused

[hybrid crag]

I was literally just about to say, being forced to recite the pledge of allegiance every day before school is insane, weirded me tf out when I heard about it

That's when I graduated

[dreamy ferry]

[latent valley]

i graduated hs late af

[hybrid crag]

I started at the normal time for a kid and finished at the normal time idk what to tell ya bruh

[latent valley]

because i dropped out

twice

[strange sage]

Most kids stop actually doing the shit as time passes but I’m sure some of that social programming makes its way deep into their psyche

[hybrid crag]

Uh

Im born in 2004

[strange sage]

You finished at the normal time? I was 17 when I graduated hs and I started on time?

[dreamy ferry]

also hello didi and sobi

[hybrid crag]

In January

[latent valley]

i said hi like 1 hour ago damn

[iron flicker]

What is more terrifying is adult Americans not realising that their country has flaws and they're not as almighty and perfect as they got told they are as children.

[narrow rock]

hmmm....

[hybrid crag]

You started school early then

[strange sage]

I started on time

[dreamy ferry]

IM SORRY

[hybrid crag]

Lol ur confused bc ur the anamoly

[dreamy ferry]

ILY

DONT HATE ME

i have not been good today

[latent valley]

this convo is so funny

[dreamy ferry]

[latent valley]

civil war

[strange sage]

No I started on time because everyone who entered uni with me as a freshman is the same age

[hybrid crag]

Most people end school in the year they're turning 17-18

[forest scarab]

Over here high school is like 12-16/17/18/19 depending on like the level of education you're following

[iron flicker]

So @hybrid crag why is it ok for @strange sage to say the same things we said earlier? I'd love to know.

[warm dew]

I am so confused rn

[strange sage]

Yes so why are you 21 and u just graduated

[warm dew]

Maybe I took my education for granted

[strange sage]

Because I live here I guess

[hybrid crag]

Oh for sure, it’s straight up indoctrination and social conditioning for a country that regularly chews their own people up

[hybrid crag]

Didi

I graduated in 2022

LMAO

[strange sage]

Oh

I

Oh

[hybrid crag]

"Recently"

[latent valley]

HAHA

[forest scarab]

lol

I mean, 2022 is like a week ago

[strange sage]

[hybrid crag]

I said that earlier haha

By education standard that's recent

[strange sage]

I thought it was 2023 I’m so sorry

[hybrid crag]

Nope it's ok

[iron flicker]

@hybrid crag with the radio silence lmfao

[hybrid crag]

Yeah I was younger in my grade

[strange sage]

Like right now I thought the year is 23 right now

[hybrid crag]

Ohhhh

Nah it's 2025

[strange sage]

If they don’t wanna reply just assume the answer and get off it 😭

[hybrid crag]

Unfortunately

I wish it was 2023

[strange sage]

https://tenor.com/view/guardians-of-the-galaxy-guardians-of-the-galaxy2-peter-quill-star-lord-star-lord-what-gif-24549462

[iron flicker]

Nah she went off on one at me and @latent valley earlier when we said the exact same stuff and now she's saying it too

[hybrid crag]

Id do things differently

[forest scarab]

When I started uni at 19, in the intake interview they asked me if I was sure this was like fine bla bla bla because I'm starting being a bit older, if it wouldn't be bad being with younger people and I was just like wtf?
I ended up being one of the youngest in my class lmao

[hybrid crag]

I didn't go off on anyone btw

[strange sage]

Weird af line of questioning

[hybrid crag]

Ignoring the dude bc where sobi approached with the want to understand, he approached talking down to me.

[forest scarab]

Yeah, like, nobody is too old to want to study

[hybrid crag]

Why I'm willing to have the convo with sobi and not him it's that simple

[strange sage]

Exactly?? Like are we just supposed to not enter uni post 18?

[latent valley]

me, 30+ still in uni

[hybrid crag]

Are you trying to be a doctor?

[latent valley]

haha no I started late. teacher

[hybrid crag]

Ahhh I see

Are you going for phd

[iron flicker]

You were tarnishing the whole of Europe with the same brush, I responded talking about the education system of America which is exactly what you're doing now and agreeing to the same points discussed earlier 🤷‍♂️

[hybrid crag]

Or masters?

[latent valley]

it's 4 years to become a teacher

[warm dew]

Fr that is weird. idk bout you, but I have seen plenty of people enter in at 26 especially those who served in the military straight out of high school

[hybrid crag]

Tbh yall do that in here all the time ur being butthurt rn lowk

[warm dew]

Heck I saw a few folks in their 30s getting their bach

[latent valley]

no as I said I just started late, so bachelore (???)

[hybrid crag]

Im going to ignore you now lmao

[latent valley]

but I want to get my masters later

[hybrid crag]

I mean starting late doesn't mean you can't try to be a professor

[strange sage]

Right and with education being so expensive in America especially, why shouldn’t we be expecting older people in post secondary education?

[hybrid crag]

My grandma got her PhD in her 60s

Resilience bro

[strange sage]

PERIOD

[warm dew]

I think I remembered seeing a 50 year old lady working to get her bach because she always wanted to do it but didn't have the time nor money before

[latent valley]

I love that for her

queen

[hybrid crag]

For real

[warm dew]

Education costs in the US is one reason why I am seeking my masters overseas

[hybrid crag]

Idk how she went back to school at that age

[strange sage]

Realest

[iron flicker]

Nah just find it funny that you were arguing about it earlier now you're all on your high horse because another American rightly said that the education system is not great. You do you, hopefully one day you'll realise more about the world when you have some actual life experiance 🤷‍♂️

[hybrid crag]

Id be stressed out

[hybrid crag]

Actually sobi started the convo

Lmao

[latent valley]

but I might want to study more about

what's the correct and respectful English term

special need education??

[strange sage]

I’d seek a JD overseas but 8 the top 10 law schools in the world are in the us, so

[hybrid crag]

Couldn't be more wrong didi cane toward the end

Came*

But go off ig

[warm dew]

Special education or what you wrote is fine too

[hybrid crag]

Tbh I dint even know the term

Dont*

[strange sage]

Can you find the statement where she said that? /genq

[hybrid crag]

I can actually

[warm dew]

For law too, doesn't it also matter where you study for where you want to be licensed too?

[strange sage]

Special ed

[narrow rock]

me too-ish

[hybrid crag]

I made a blunder earlier and he will not leave me alone about it

Or she

[strange sage]

Yeah it matters a lot, and there’s just more opportunity in the us because everyone’s so litigious

[hybrid crag]

Don't know don't care

[strange sage]

[warm dew]

I hope you get into a good program

[strange sage]

I’m trying for Columbia 😭

[latent valley]

but I also want to work abroad

I'm planning to work at a Swedish school I'm already in contact with in the US for example

[hybrid crag]

On a side note I'm going to Korean BBQ later

[latent valley]

just for a few years

[warm dew]

YASSSSS QUEEN

YOU CAN DO IT

[latent valley]

!!! you got this

[hybrid crag]

The one thing I love about my state is the food

[strange sage]

I’m so scared lol

I hope my legacy status will nudge me a bit LMAO

[hybrid crag]

Also didi ur smart

[strange sage]

[hybrid crag]

Literally you got it in the bag

[strange sage]

Daka you’re too sweet I’m sobbing

[terse latch]

why i come back when ppl pandering each other

[strange sage]

Local discord user discovers the concept of being nice to people

[hybrid crag]

Nah ur fun to talk to, same with sobi

Intellectually challenging

[warm dew]

cries in corner

[terse latch]

i am nice

[hybrid crag]

Make me think/reconsider

[strange sage]

[hybrid crag]

I enjoy people like that

[strange sage]

Funniest joke I seen all week

[hybrid crag]

FOR REAL

[terse latch]

that is the truth

[hybrid crag]

I’m intellectually challenging to talk to because I’m stupid

[strange sage]

Snorted lmao

[hybrid crag]

https://tenor.com/view/spit-laugh-i-cant-even-too-funny-gif-23538329

[terse latch]

i just don't pander anyone except my boss

[latent valley]

@strange sage can you do my physics quiz on Thursday

[warm dew]

I can't use what I learned in college here without scaring people away cuz i inevitably get to cells and stuff

[latent valley]

since you're smart

[warm dew]

Algebra based or calculus based?

[latent valley]

this is the third time I'm trying to pass that exam and I'm tweaking

[hybrid crag]

I voice my very quiet agreement with this

[latent valley]

neither

[hybrid crag]

[wind arch]

is there any way

[warm dew]

[wind arch]

to make my zoi die

faster

[hybrid crag]

We cannot get fired in this economy

[latent valley]

just random stupid questions about things I don't care bout

[wind arch]

and without pain?

xd

[strange sage]

I took physics once in high school and my curriculum was so fucked up because we took physics a year before taking the math course that would prepare us for physics

[wind arch]

basic payment for all xd

[hybrid crag]

We kiss ass to get cash fr

My bosses are nice tho

So I dont really have to pander per say

Perchance.

[warm dew]

Ngl calculus made algebra based physics much easier. My prof had to tell me that i wasn't allowed to use calculus for shortcuts though

[strange sage]

Wack ass professor

[hybrid crag]

Thinkno told ur this before but my first school made me take physics in 9th.

[strange sage]

Luckily I have never had to take uni physics because I’m a psych major

[latent valley]

imma send you an example later @warm dew

when im home

[hybrid crag]

Physics college business and college engineering in 9th grade

I should have stayed at that school

[strange sage]

I took physics in 9th. Nobody knew wtf was going on and our teacher taught like we work at nasa

[hybrid crag]

Lowk where me and my mom went wrong

[warm dew]

Ikr?! He wanted us to calculate instantaneous velocity and all I had to do was plug and chug using my calculator and graphs but nooooo he said I wasn't allowed to do that

I had to show my work the way he taught us

[terse latch]

oh so you can break spoon with mind

[hybrid crag]

I was in an innovation school and we had competencies

Instead of hrades

Grades*

[strange sage]

Yeah I minor in telekinesis

[hybrid crag]

Im going to sleep soon bro

[strange sage]

Huh

[hybrid crag]

Anyways that school is how I think all high schools should be ran

[strange sage]

Have you… gone to sleep yet?

[hybrid crag]

No my job is over night

[narrow rock]

https://tenor.com/view/matrix-there-is-no-spoon-talking-kid-gif-17690655

[terse latch]

wow a pokemon

[hybrid crag]

Im a night walker

[terse latch]

gotta catch em all

[warm dew]

Tbh telekinesis would be good for a lawyer

[hybrid crag]

My condolences on the night shifts

[strange sage]

So real

[hybrid crag]

I dont mind it

[latent valley]

@iron flicker speaking of Sims 1

[hybrid crag]

I've always been nocturnal

[latent valley]

ignore the playlist nane

[hybrid crag]

[latent valley]

name

[hybrid crag]

My condolences on the day shift

[strange sage]

Well now I’m only looking there

[latent valley]

😭

[warm dew]

I had to help teach a friend of mine her multiplication tables and that when you multiply a negative number with another negative number that you get a positive. I was tutoring her in algebra in college

[strange sage]

How do you do night shift + full time school

[hybrid crag]

Im taking college algebra rn

[strange sage]

I don’t have patience for that bruh

[hybrid crag]

And you'd be surprised how many people don't know that

[zenith dirge]

My condolences to your friend’s…arithmetics

[hybrid crag]

[strange sage]

Business majors not knowing how to fit the circle block in the circle hole

[hybrid crag]

Not full time

[strange sage]

Ohhh

[hybrid crag]

[warm dew]

She didn't have the patience with me either and got upset at me a little bit cuz i was admittedly a bit intense with the tutoring. However, it helped her in the end

[hybrid crag]

Part time I'll be full time next year tho

[iron flicker]

Now that's some sims nostalgia dedication right there

[hybrid crag]

Pre reqs

[hybrid crag]

I just imagine like

The anime tutorial session

[latent valley]

sims music is the best study music

[hybrid crag]

Where the tutor goes crazy and the person just crashes their head on the desk like "bleh"

[warm dew]

I really do feel like knowing how to do quick multiplication should be a minimum. Like knowing your tables starting from 0 to 12

[hybrid crag]

I agree

[warm dew]

Pretty accurate

[hybrid crag]

But circle block go fine in square hole

Bro English is even worse

All I'm gonna say

[strange sage]

https://tenor.com/view/family-feud-buzzer-wrong-answer-strike-survey-says-gif-16314402

[warm dew]

I tried to help my cousin's daughter with her English homework here in Korea, and I gave her the wrong answers apparently

[hybrid crag]

People reading out loud in English will have you sitting there wondering wtf is going on

But beyond that... the presentations

[drowsy grove]

Well now experimenting with seeing if I can make inzoi run on Arch linux should be simple

[warm dew]

Fr they gotta start teaching getting hooked on phonics again in elementary school

[strange sage]

I have no patience for poor out loud reading in my senior year of university lol

Go back to primary pl0x

[hybrid crag]

Nah they gotta start teaching people how to actually write

No I have p patience either

0*

Like I have patience

[warm dew]

I can understand if it is a really hard word, but seriously fr

[strange sage]

WHY DID THRY STOP PHONICS I COULD WRITE A DISSERTATION ON HOW MAD THIS MAKES ME

[hybrid crag]

But some things really grind me

I HATED popcorn reading

[drowsy grove]

Who cares

[strange sage]

Shit pissed me off like please let me read this whole thing so Matthew two seats away doesn’t have to slug through one sentence for 10 minutes

[hybrid crag]

It sucks though bc i know the problem was likely their parents

[narrow rock]

Full TS1 soundtrack with a few mix of TS2/3

[warm dew]

My mom was still learning English when I was in elementary school, and she still did her best to teach me and had my dad help me too. My parents had me reading chapter books by the time I was in the first grade. I thank them for that

[hybrid crag]

Like if you don't care about what ur kid is doing in school it'll show up in college when they can't even read aloud.

Helps me maintain patience when I think of it that way

Not everyone had someone checking up on them

[warm dew]

Now that I think about it, my mom lowkey used teaching my brothers and I how to read to help her learn as well as to like learn how to speak English more fluently
