The future of a page titled Anti-communist mass killings is not in doubt, however, as the entry outlining occasions on which Communists have been killed under other poltical systems has not been flagged over concerns about neutrality.
OK so how do we flag that article?

The first AC game I fully played through was 4 and the modern day stuff was kinda bland. Then I Played Origins and decided to go through the whole series... really got invested into the modern day lore and loved it until I finished 3 and realized they just abandoned it all.

Actually I am really glad they revisited the plot starting with Valhalla.

I'm glad it got a lot of love, there is a lot of beautiful imagery in there, they crafted a really interesting world, it expands on the Alan Wake universe a lot (another fan favorite). The action was kinda meh but I didn't even care because I was so enraptured by the storytelling.

I'm a big fan of the stuff at Trader Joe's.

My top picks at other grocery stores is gonna be Wild Mike's (the box looks dorky and 90s as hell but the pizza is a really solid product), American Flatbread and then Newman's Own.

Cops are pigs.

I was with a coworker at the movie theater once and we were kidnapped at gunpoint and the two guys took money out of my bank account via ATM then dropped us off on some side road.

Used a phone at the local Safeway to call the cops, they arrived, were taking our statements, then they got a call that they "found a suspect".

It was some random Black man walking home with a couple bags of groceries, looked *nothing* like the guys that got us. Like wtf.

Honestly this is 100% more believable than most of the shit politicians do for publicity.

Like Mitt romney going into a Wendy's and talking about how fantastic it was people were eating at Wendy's. Fake as fuck and weird.

Or Clinton pouring a beer. Or failing to use a simple metro card. Fake as fuck and weird.

Buttigieg probably does work out and probably needs athletic gear, so at least the venue is appropriate and it has the appearance of being a more authentic / natural interaction.

Guy's an interesting fellow tbh, don't know if his diverse background and experiences help bridge the divide between both parties or just reduce his interested voter base.

You're not necessarily locked in to any one thing, that's why there are certification and non-degree programs out there to get qualifications to switch jobs. Like my wife has a bachelor's in Sociology but wound up getting a business accounting certification from the community college and it's opened up a shit ton of doors.

Oh, you said "computer science" so I thought you wanted more IT/cybersecurity stuff - every major player has its own professional certifications to work towards, plus there are programming languages to study and stuff like CompTIA that are kind of expected to land a job. But for engineering you are probably right in pursuing another degree :\

sutree posted... Yes, I already have a degree. Almost none of the coursework is relevant for a science/engineering/math career though.
A lot of times it doesn't matter though, especially if you want to get into something like computer sciences which is heavily based on credentialing and certification rather than an individual bachelor's degree. Could just be a more effective use of your time going after the big ticket items imo, especially since you already have a degree with a 4.0 under your belt.

That's a question for the admissions office of the school you're looking to apply to, though. I think if you've completed a program then your coursework is like... set in stone, meaning it won't necessarily transfer over easily in many cases - if it did, people would be knocking out dozens of Bachelor's degrees back-to-back. This could be a university-based policy though.

Otherwise, I'd say the high school diploma doesn't matter much except to prove you graduated high school and maybe meet certain state requirements if applicable. The fact that you have work experience and already have a 4.0 Degree says a lot more about your capacity to succeed for sure.

(personally I had a sub-B GPA in high school and just a lot of random automatic credits from service and they still took me, no SAT/ACT required... don't know if that says anything about their admissions requirements or what lol).

Wait do you already have a degree or did you start one and then not complete it? Different universities might have different requirements for attending for a *second* Bachelor's, so you might need to do some research on that. Also have you considered exploring certifcations specifically if you *do* have a degree? Generally require a lot less course work.

Oh. So after being accepted, the school articulated my submitted transcripts and test records, and then after that I met with the advisor before registering to come up with the first steps. And my advisor is badass and even submitted a petition on my behalf to get some of my previous coursework accepted for certain requirements that the articulation office didn't consider.

Everyone's school is probably different. But at mine, we have a program called MyDegrees which shows you which requirements you already fulfilled and which you still need to meet to finish your program. It's pretty awesome--for every single requirement (degree specific and general university requirements), the system tells you what you've done, and what you still need to do, and it will tell you which courses will satisfy those requirements so you know what to look for when it's coming time to register.

I am also required to meet with the advisor each term to get a registration PIN for the upcoming term but I don't know if that's a university requirement or college-specific requirement. But we have a friendly catch up conversation and then she helps make sure I'm registering for the right stuff/answers any questions or doubts I have. We also sat down one day and came up with a comprehensive degree plan to take out most of the guess work about what I needed/when I would take it, which helps a lot, since it means I don't waste time in one term missing a class because I didn't take the prerequisite course for it first.

(I would show a picture but I guess half the systems are down for the Thanksgiving weekend...).

Honestly I had a similar experience when I signed up at community college before this. I had to register an account at the school, take a couple placement tests, then meet with an advisor to get my first course registered. After that I just registered myself for the other class I needed lmao. So yeah - acceptance -> articulation -> advisor and planning -> registration seems common.

How did you guys get started with figuring out your track and applications? I mean did you contact an advisor first?
What do you mean by track?

For the application I just filled out the paperwork and submitted everything they needed. There was a hiccough getting one of my transcripts (I think from my high school) submitted on time because of the pandemic so I did have to push my start term back by one :( If I had any questions I just called the admissions office up, the people there were friendly af.

I just started last year at age 31, doing an online program, I have been thoroughly enjoying it.

There were a few advantages for me personally starting later:

I had a better understanding of how the world works and what sort of a degree I should realistically strive for if I wanted to expand my career opportunities. If I were younger I probably would have chosen something like "psychologically" which would have been interesting from an enlightenment perspective but which wouldn't have done much for me professionally... So waiting, I was able to find a decent program that encompasses hard and soft sciences and a lot of actual application of principles using real world tools, all of which should help get a serious job later. Plus it's really fascinating, too!

I have a better understanding of what it means to be responsible and how to do research and how to find information and how to get work done in a timely manner. Not that I don't procrastinate from time to time, but I know if I went to uni right after high school I probably would be failing left and right because I didn't have a more open mindset, the organization skills, the study skills, or the positive attitude that I have now.

I get a *lot* out of other peoples' experiences when they share them in the online forums, or like in this class I've been engaging with people on Discord and we've been helping each other work through homework problems and figure stuff out, it's been a really rewarding experience.

PS: A *ton* of people in my classes are older, even older than me. In fact I feel like one of the youngest people in one of my current classes - everyone was introducing themselves and there's like a millennia of experience between all of them, it was actually a bit intimidating lol.

A full course load while working full time is intimidating as shit, I wouldn't blame you at all for dropping one class to focus on two others and maximize your time there.

I took three courses for the first time this past summer, one was full-term and the other were consolidated by almost a month (so like only 2/3 of the term), and that was a really challenging and stressful period of time. *And* I got lucky that two of the three were pretty straightforward in the courseload with minimal tests and quizzes, and the third one was English with a heavy workload of essays and discussion posts and analytic assignments.

I'm taking pre-calc now and another course, and I've had to spend so much time basically teaching myself the pre-calc materials just to get a grasp on it all (and I've had a lot of help on CE too)... so like yeah, do what you're comfortable with, even if that's just taking two courses. Better to take two and get a really solid understanding of the concepts moving forward than to take three and struggle through all of them to just get a passing grade imo.
