PersnickityPenguin,

What’s a “man deats”

LemmyKnowsBest,

I think they misspelled “teats.” Those little milker nipples.

nilloc,

You answer is clearly better, but if op was seriously asking, I think they meant “mandates”.

The truck author would probably assume mandates are a Gay’s thing though if he spelled it right.

GiddyGap,

Not exactly a rave review of the American educational system.

No wonder European countries don’t accept US high school diplomas as sufficient for acceptance into a college or university.

aidan,

No wonder European countries don’t accept US high school diplomas as sufficient for acceptance into a college or university.

  1. Yes, they do. I have been to two.
  2. At least in my country, the highschools are not exactly good. Many students get ~30% attendance. On top of that, there aren’t enough highschool slots for students, so poorer performing students can’t go to highschool or have to pay for private school.
GiddyGap,

Yes, they do. I have been to two.

There may be some countries. But I know the Scandinavian countries will not accept US diplomas without the student passing extra testing that others don’t have to go through.

It’s possible that’s for a full program. You may be able to take individual classes or certs with a US diploma.

aidan,

There may be some countries.

I’ve never encountered any country that didn’t accept US diplomas, or rather treated them any different than any other non-EU diploma.

It’s possible that’s for a full program.

I am talking about full bachelor’s programs.

GiddyGap,

I’ve never encountered any country that didn’t accept US diplomas, or rather treated them any different than any other non-EU diploma.

One example is Denmark where a US highschool diploma is only considered under quota 2, which means you have to have other merits than just the highschool diploma. It could be additional testing and relevant work experience.

Diplomas from most other countries are considered under quota 1, which looks at the diploma only.

There are many other countries with similar rules.

aidan,

Do you have a source because from here I see

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/75ea60d4-1d9a-499f-9972-84391e89efe4.png

Which doesn’t seem too different from other countries

which means you have to have other merits than just the highschool diploma. It could be additional testing and relevant work experience.

I guess that is met by the AP requirements, but it seems like wherever they can set more strict standards they try to, including with EU countries.

GiddyGap,

This is the source (in Danish): ufm.dk/…/valg-af-gymnasieskole-i-udlandet

Maybe Google translate will help you.

Amerikansk high school-eksamen

En amerikansk high school-eksamen vurderes kun i kvote 2.

Nogle IB-skoler, som også er amerikansk akkrediterede, det vil sige anerkendte som amerikanske skoler, tilbyder et amerikansk High School Diploma som alternativ til en ikke fuldt gennemført IB-eksamen. Vær da særligt opmærksom på, om eksamensforløbet opfylder de krav til en amerikansk high school eksamen, som er beskrevet i Eksamenshåndbogen.

Krav om 3 AP-eksaminer

Der kræves 3 AP-eksaminer aflagt ved College Board og bestået med mindst karakteren 3, for at den amerikanske high school-eksamen kan give adgang til universitetsuddannelser. For at opfylde kravet om AP-eksaminer kræves desuden, at AP-eksaminer er aflagt inden for minimum 3 forskellige fagområder. Eksempelvis vil AP-eksamen i fagene US Government, Physics og Calculus AB være inden for 3 forskellige fagområder, mens AP-eksamen i fagene Physics, Calculus AB og Calculus BC kun dækker over 2 forskellige fagområder.

Et High School Graduation Diploma uden disse 3 studieforberedende og beståede Advanced Placement Tests giver adgang til erhvervskademi- og professionsbacheloruddannelser samt kunstneriske bacheloruddannelser. En sådan eksamen kan ved supplering blive adgangsgivende til universitetsuddannelser. Denne supplering bør ske i samråd med det uddannelsessted, hvor man ønsker optagelse, så man samtidig kan få at vide, om man opfylder eventuelle specifikke adgangskrav.

Det er som altid uddannelsesstedet, der afgør, om den enkelte kan optages.

aidan,

Okay, so roughly the same as what I posted. Yeah I suppose it is quota 2, but as I said, it doesn’t seem much different than many other countries. It’s certainly not saying the US highschool diploma is exceptionally bad. Especially given how common AP classes are.

GiddyGap,

Well, it says what I initially said. That a regular US highschool diploma is not acceptable as a standalone document to get you accepted. You have to do extra and even AP classes won’t get you out of having to go through quota 2. And that’s really a reflection of a US highschool being an inferior education in their eyes.

aidan,

What are the requirements for a Danish student?

Also again, this seems similar to the requirements for other foreign students.

GiddyGap,

If you read (or translate) the link I sent, you’ll see that it’s specifically aimed at American students with a US highschool diploma.

Danish students can apply under either quota.

I love how noone explores the possibility that this was written by someone who hates them to make them look bad lol

Why would we do that? Anti-vaxxers make themselves look bad all the time.

LdyMeow,

Yeah I feel like this has to be satire

mojo,

Vacations are killing us! Ban Hawaii!

LemmyKnowsBest,

Hey might as well die happy . VACATION woo!

Therealgoodjanet,

I knew it! Vacations are killing us. If you value your life; no more vacations!

pensivepangolin,

Yes! Strap me to the millstone!

fluxion,

I’m sure there’s a right wing “movement” for that too. Along with anything else that favors corporations and fucke over Americans

PersnickityPenguin,

Clearly written by a hard-working business isn’t.

usualsuspect191,

This is a person who was able to get a driver’s license…

InternetCitizen2,

Bar is too low.

Any lower and it will be a line on the ground, judging by the example at hand.

Nah, three a lot of these kind of cars around the country.

KredeSeraf,

You’d be amazed how many people driving daily don’t and have never had a license. Used to be a police dispatcher, shit happens all the damn time.

EmoDuck,

What’s the procedure then? Arrest, pressing charges, payments or other punishment I (blissfully ignorantly) assume

PersnickityPenguin,

$39 ticket but the judge will reduce it to $19.99 if you actually pay it.

shalafi,

Almost always a ticket, assuming that’s the only law you’re breaking. And they will certainly look for more!

Funny story, I was arrested in Chicagoland one time for not having a license. (Lost my wallet, still had to work.) Officer had a high school kid (cop wannabe) for a ride-along and wanted to demonstrate arrest and booking procedures.

In and out in 45 minutes but got stuck 30 miles from home.

EmoDuck,

Well, that’s what you get for being a menace to society, you punk

vivadanang,

gonna give the owner a break and assume they wrote this on the back just after their stroke.

Don't worry, they aren't aware enough to feel shame or stupidity.

pensivepangolin,

Yeah people this dumb either think it’s a good thing and revel in it or are incapable of forming the thought/reaching the level of self-awareness that allows them to think “maybe I’m stupid.”

YoBuckStopsHere,
@YoBuckStopsHere@lemmy.world avatar

Nope, ignorance is bliss. They literally don’t know anything about anything. They just assume everything they believe is the truth.

SkyeStarfall,

But they’re then getting absolutely freaked out about every benign thing. It has to be super exhausting and stressful

aidan,

That level of spelling looks a lot like dyslexia. I have an online friend working on a grad program who spells like that.

rayyy,

Any guess as to who they voted for?

NABDad,

I’d like to see a teacher attack this with the red pen.

Baphomet_The_Blasphemer,

I’m not even a teacher, and I would love to attack this with a red pen.

NABDad,

I keep thinking of this.

youtu.be/0lczHvB3Y9s

Honytawk,

Not enough space to leave any sort of retort.

WaxedWookie,

Ableist slurs aren’t coo- oh - you can spell above a second-grade level.

NABDad, (edited )

I don’t care about a retort. I’d just like to see corrections in red, with a “D- PROOF READ!!!” written at the top, and maybe a “Provide sources” at the bottom.

Edit: and perhaps a “See me after class”

CryptidBestiary,

For those who are wondering if this picture is real or not, I couldn’t say. But I have seen a fair share of misspellings and bad grammar written on trucks about similar sentiments in Nevada (seeing where the license in the picture belongs to). The take away of this is that usually there is a correlation between education and conspiracies (believing in misinformation), and it’s a very real, serious issue in this country.

pensivepangolin,

Wait. You mean to tell me that giving kids terrible educations…makes them more susceptible to being stupid assholes?

superduperenigma, (edited )

Somebody should let the GOP know so they stop trying to defund education! Surely they wouldn’t want entire generations of people growing up to be ignorant, conspiracy believing assholes with no critical thinking skills!

Mirshe,

More specifically, we don’t really teach source analysis in a lot of schools anymore. I’ve run into college students who have no idea of how to discern that a source is bullshit - especially if the site or source looks well-polished and sounds like it knows what it’s talking about. Even a lot of Q people have figured out that the best way to draw people in is to look and sound professional, not just ranting into a camera in your truck cabin - you need a nice backdrop, and probably a polo shirt at minimum.

Bytemeister, (edited )

Right!?

When Republicans were initially investingating the 2020 election in Georgia, they called in a “forensic imaging specialist” who said that they would be able to determine which ballots were fabricated. I got a lot of flack for questioning the guy’s credentials online, but literally his biggest accomplishment in life was inventing a crappy barcode scanner shaped like a cat, and it was a huge flop.

r/conservative was adamant that this dunce was going to overturn the election in Georgia…

Proper translation:

Covid 19 vaccines and mandates, are killing us in the land of the free. Our rights are being taken away from us.

I’m not sure about the vaccines as we’re entering Alex Jones territory there that’s not really my place to comment on

but i can say the potential hillbilly has a point in my opinion the covid 19 mandates were poorly miss-managed almost everywhere across the globe. Lots of mom and pop shops had to close doors even some bigger businesses which created alot of job loses and lots of people were affected financially people whom struggled to put food on the table buy petrol pay for the leccy and keep a roof on there head. All this over poorly managed goverments and bureaucrats across the world and on top of this you got governments telling you what todo and if you didn’t follow through with the governments demands you could land your self a heafty fine and some prison time. I can see why people may be starting to get pissed off

aidan,

They probably aren’t a hillbilly with Nevada plates. Other than that, this is a totally reasonable take.

What about the vacations?

ShitOnABrick,
@ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world avatar

What about them?

zergtoshi,

I understand they are what’s killing us 🤷‍♂

ShitOnABrick,
@ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world avatar

Ah yes all those vacations are starting to kill us all to many vacations

zergtoshi,

See? Now it makes sense! Or not…
Seriously, your translation was very helpful. I understood most, of that message, but the vacations made no sense and were a bit too far off from what was meant to be said.

ShitOnABrick, (edited )
@ShitOnABrick@lemmy.world avatar

It must be all those vacations and gay frog orgies

zergtoshi, (edited )

And the aqueducts!

psivchaz,

I agree in principal but a lot of the people who talk about COVID restrictions and their rights are incensed at the idea of, for example, wearing a cloth mask. But things like the TSA, extrajudicial police killings, and the legislatures and courts trying to overturn voter-approved abortion protections are all a-okay with a lot of them.

Fridgeratr,

I just want to put a sticker on it that says “GO TO SCHOOL”

aidan,

They probably have dyslexia you know.
