aidan,

You want the murder rate number to go up?!??

aidan, (edited )

$13k/yr post tax, just depends on how much work I’d have to do for it

aidan,

Bad luck, the shotgun is full of slugs :/

aidan,

No reason to take guns since rounds will be gone quickly

Depends where you live, imo, no reason to take a sword because it’s easy to find one in any hardware store.

aidan,

I was awarded the Royal Decoration of Saint Michael the Archangel

Did you pay for it? 💀

aidan,

Huh, interesting. What was their reason?

aidan,

Lichtenstein or Andorra

aidan,

You’ve just convinced me I have early onset dementia. Knew that wasn’t his name but couldn’t remember at all what it was before looking it up, and could only thing of Lance Armstrong.

aidan,

Depriving the user of information is helpful until you hide information they want.

aidan,

Node really? nvm makes it very easy, or using choco

aidan,

Despite trying at least 6 times, I’ve never been able to successfully start a node project on windows.

Huh fair, for me that’s cmake projects on Windows.

with an Ubuntu server VM and ssh into it from my windows desktop now.

That’s just WSL 💀

aidan,

Most importantly readability and usability for the user and debugging. Some programs aren’t case sensitive.

aidan,

That’s a fair complaint

aidan,

For C++/C I used to agree, but now with WSL it’s easy.

aidan,

I don’t support all forms of biodiversity

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.

aidan,

They probably have dyslexia you know.

aidan,

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

aidan,

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

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.
aidan,

What are the requirements for a Danish student?

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

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.

aidan,

One example is Denmark where a US highschool diploma is only considered under quota 2

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

https://lemmy.world/pictrs/image/319b7063-9a8c-4356-ac2a-4ff758544967.png

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.
