i am czech. basically whole europe is part of bologna system, which makes it easy to standardize and compare schools between countries and do different stages of your study in different places.

so basically you do 3 years for bachelor’s degree, then you do another 2 years for master’s degree. these 2 don’t need to be at the same school or even same country. if you are continuing within the same school, you may be accepted to master’s based on your grades. otherwise you go through some application process where grades may play a role. it is the same when you apply for phd position. so the grades may definitely affect you. it is true that once you are done with the school and have your diploma, your grades are not really the topic of the conversation, but before that happens, you may have a reason to care.

(medical and law schools are exceptions from this system).

oh! well now it makes sense. i misread that part.

if you enjoy them, they are good. that is like whole point of a movie to be enjoyed by the audience. yeah, they might not be for everyone, but that is true for any movie.

the point is, either the movie is good, or it sucks, and when it sucks, i (with most other people it seems) don’t want to spend time thinking about if it is 3 or 4 out of 10 movie, that is just not important.

there is a reason why most ratings operate on a 5 point scale.

hey doc, here is one who forgot to take their pills!

This is an issue with american thinking

You think doing

it is why you are all ok with

it is why you are all ok with

it is why you are all ok with

it is why you are all ok with

it is why you are all ok with

you do know there are people in the world that are not americans, right?

“bullying” the people is very appropriate.

no, it is not. once you are done with this tantrum, i suggest to talk to a mental health professional and ask them for explanation.

good for you for having your favorite commercial provider of a service. it is still useful to understand how the service works, so you don’t think it does something which it does not.

smart people are talking

so listen to them, maybe you will learn something

so you would bully the people being bullied by this law to protest the law that bullies them? well that would show them!

Maybe I just want to protect my privacy and stop my ISP from selling my online activities.

so you will pass the option to sell your online activities onto your commercial vpn provider? how is that better? maybe you don’t understand what vpn is and why you are using it? someone told you “this makes everything safe and private, so pay us to use it” and you are paying them without really understanding why…

Yes, I understand how dumb that is

i don’t think you do. residents of utah don’t have to use vpn with endpoint in utah, so in order for your “gotcha” to work, they would have to block whole world. since most people will choose endpoint far from them, it would probably be enough to block anything but utah…

Feels to me like it’s just a different attack vector.

feels like typical security through obscurity

there is and this is the former.

and as the linked news is 20 hours old it is definitely fresh news that people want and should know about, despite the fact it has been fixed since then. the fix doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.

please dont add to the pile

please do. it is first time i am hearing about this, for example. and i have my doubts this “bug” would have been fixed if it were not for a “lot of toxic comments”

also not super important?

they may not be super important for some useless school that is basically just a diploma mill, but they are important if you are in good school with goal of getting good education, because they will affect your further progress through the system. like going from bachelor to masters level (which i think is not always the case in us) or getting your phd position.

he problem was that the rest of academia didn’t behave that way, so his classes lowered your GPA.

and that is exactly the problem with people suffering from chronic unique-titis like this. they are just assholes.

Enjoyable Somewhat good Quite Good Enjoyable Good

what is the difference between somewhat good and enjoyable? and between enjoyable and good? you illustrated problem with 10 point scale nicely.

There is a reason people started calling it “Shitflix”. 🤣

is the reason “teenagers who can’t separate their mouth from their ass wanted to sound edgy, but ended up sounding like a clown instead”?

you do understand that netflix is not a movie archive of all humanity and it is unreasonable to expect it will have all movies from a list spanning across centuries, cultures, regions and genres… right?

it is starting to seem like you have no idea what insider trading is. it has nothing to do with “rapid” or any other tempo of trading.

when you buy a stock for 10$, and the person selling it to you has secret knowledge, that tomorrow the government will issue regulation or w/e and as a consequence, the next day the same stock will have a value of 5$, you were scammed out of 5$ and you will never see them again. it has nothing to do with how long you will then own the stock or how the price will move in the future, or how fast and often you do your trades.

you would have not paid 10$ if you had the same information the seller has. that is what insider trading is. using privileged information that general public cannot have.

in any civilized society it is a crime punishable by law.

it can’t “go down more than it goes up” on average.

it can when you trade against insider trader. that is whole purpose of insider trading.
