GiddyGap, to asklemmy in What are your "poor person" money life hacks?

Basically use any credit card as you would any debit card. That means never spend any money you don’t already have in your account. And always pay the full statement balance every month on time to avoid paying interest.

That way you will get all the rewards and none of the drawbacks.

GiddyGap, to asklemmy in What are your "poor person" money life hacks?

Yeah, don’t spend more. Use it as a debit card.

And, again, make sure to be financially responsible and literate before you get a credit card.

GiddyGap, to asklemmy in What are your "poor person" money life hacks?

I know credit cards can be a slippery slope for some, so learn how to practice financial discipline before getting one.

Sure. But they didn’t pick an axe, they picked a machete.

GiddyGap, to lemmyshitpost in Survive the zombie apocalypse

The only item here that will be remotely useful longterm is the machete. All the other items will run out of gas, ammo, and battery quickly.

So, you complain about Trump and then you proceed to elect your own Trump. What’s up with that, Netherlands?

Were essentially Europe of America.

Get back to me when you have mandatory vacation time, universal healthcare, universal college-level education, universal pre-k, family leave, modern public transportation, non-crumbling infrastructure, climate-friendly policies, etc, etc.

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.

GiddyGap, to lemmyshitpost in Not if the lack of grammar and education gets you first...

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.

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.

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.

GiddyGap, to lemmyshitpost in How was your day?

A lot of things can get you arrested in Florida these days. You better not read these books.

GiddyGap, to lemmyshitpost in Not if the lack of grammar and education gets you first...

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.

GiddyGap, to asklemmy in What was the last dumb phone you had before your first smartphone?

Nokia 8210. It was small and awesome. It was before small became lame.
