Okay, well imagine taking all the money you were going to spend on that car, and deciding not to be homeless instead.

And all the money you spend on your 90s knick knacks?
That goes to not being hungry.

Simple stuff.

what? i already do that. i didn't graduate high school so my folks make me pay rent or they'll kick me out again (and considering my job for the next year at least is stationed in this city it just makes good sense). and because i'm a vegan i'm forced to buy my own food, too.

also,

80s knick knacks*

I spend about 10k-15k a year just on the essentials.

I only make about $17,000

In Syrup scented scratch n sniff stickers that comes out to:

13k-19k out of 22k

You can probably expect to spend 1/5 of what I spend at the grocery store though, since I usually feed five people, or more since we have company almost daily. In all, I can see where you'd have money to waste on superficial things, but please don't pretend anyone else does.

I just realized I was the only person actually drinking in this thread.

delish

i specifically used that under the auspices that it would trigger somebody

I was saying because you like plain food, not because you said delish.

Jack Black says delish, and he's easily the coolest person on the planet.

He says it ironically.

The American philosophy on education is that you should know absolutely everything you're taught.

Not entirely sure how that's any different from over here or anywhere else, really. If it's taught to you, you're supposed to know it. Seems like a pretty normal thing.

Then your minimum scores to pass a class are laughable.

How so? Rather than making 70% your passing mark, you set it at 50. A 50% mark means you know all of the material enough to pass. Anything higher shows that you're able to make additional connections or have a deeper understanding of the material than what is expected to merely succeed. What would be an 85 there would translate in maybe a 65 here. It's just a different scale which allows more room to accurately depict how well a student did. While a 50 might be a pass, it won't mean much on a resume.

I don't know what kind of demented world you Europoors live in, but you can't just decide to move a percentage point.

100% means you know everything in the course 100% of everything there is to know on the subjects covered in the class. 70% means you've retained a little over two thirds of that, which is passable, but not gonna win you any medals.

Of course, you can finish a course with a higher average than 100, though it is rare.

I don't see where you get the idea that 50% of anything is most of it.

85 is not good?

It's good, but it doesn't look half as sparkly on a transcript as 90 or 95.

Ah, I see. Grades like a 90 are practically impossible to achieve over here, so that had me confused.

The American philosophy on education is that you should know absolutely everything you're taught. To compensate for this a lot of information deemed nonessential is cut out. The lowest passing score is generally 70%, but those kind of scores will get you laughed at in grad school applications.

Believe it or not, Al Baghdadi and I spoke witg a gay sailor in Hawaii, abd this actually came up.

At least with the USN, tradition holds and ships are female.

Weird 90's/00's fashion resurgence when?

It's already happening.
