GoGoGadgetChris posted:A lot of Game of Thrones-original expressions are still in common use though, like "You know nothing", "Winter is coming", or "you sweet summer child" A three-word combination dating back to at least Plato and regularly used for decades in metaphysics classrooms by smug TAs: Definitely relevant to BWM. BWGRRM: You know nothing about Winter Is Coming, you sweet summer child. You get a pass because your puns pretty regularly make me laugh.

Jimong5 posted:I honestly had no idea marriage licenses work like that because mine's from Clark County, NV. My parents got married in Las Vegas because at the time their state not only required a blood test but a marriage license was discretionary by the county official and theirs wouldn't issue one because my mom had a kid out of wedlock and the guy she was marrying wasn't the father. Their trip to Vegas turned out to be extremely BWM for the next 18 years because my birthday is almost exactly 9 months from the day after their anniversary.

Holy BWM as a society. We can't find the money to properly subsidize higher education for the people who are actually going to work and grow the economy. Any calls for doing so or something about student debt are drowned out as fiscally irresponsible and/or socialism. But a bunch of boomers who will never really get the chance to put the skills to use demand a free university education and get it without a fight while the media writes puff pieces about them.

I deeply hope they get the last registration slots. As someone whose public college frequently didn’t have enough space in prerequisites I would be furious if a dabbling retiree was keeping me from getting my degree on time. But yeah, maybe they should make it  for like… young adults without parental support.

The instant you try to apply that same thing to anyone else they're vehemently opposed because their tax dollars are subsidizing someone else and goddamn it when I was your age I paid for my college education by working part time why are you so entitled *collects a shitload of social security* DaveSauce fucked around with this message at 14:19 on Jun 30, 2021 |

Antioch posted:"Chris came up with it and Chris is a magician and magicians are smart" is one of my favorite lines to ever come out of this thread. Our office magician was good at card tricks and at cornering people in the kitchenette to go into exhaustive unsolicited detail about his upcoming custom samurai Darth Vader back tattoo plans. Eventually the cops picked him up for a warrant in our parking lot and he made no attempt to keep his job by updating his manager about what was going on so a month later they let him go for job abandonment.

If he was salary and collected a couple of paychecks before they let him go, that is a pretty good magic trick.

The way it works at the schools I'm aware of is the cheap or free old people are auditing the class rather than taking it for credit, which means they get bumped for credit students and don't do things like chemistry or physics labs.

Also, auditors at my school don’t turn in any graded work, don’t take exams, and can only participate in class discussions at the discretion of the instructor. Unless the lecture hall is completely full, they’re not using the same resources as a degree-earning student.

Nope, they get credits, and can even apply them to degrees. "University of Minnesota Senior Education Program posted:If you meet the residency and age requirements of the SCEP, you may audit courses free of charge, or take classes for credit at $10 per credit. This applies whether you are degree-seeking, or non-degree. Whether you audit or earn credits for a class, you are responsible to pay any required laboratory, material, or course fees. Fees vary by course.

It would be great if boomers attempt to stay mentally and physically active in order to avoid cognitive decline and not become tv news zombies. It’d also be cool if they get to meet gen z rather than just have ‘kids these days’ caricatures of them. But jfc essentially free college is a slap in the face to people who need that college coursework to start their adult lives and put food on their tables.
