People are getting tired of subsidizing this rubbish. Parents who have worked their guts out to be able to send their kid to uni are winding up with an angry little brat who calls it's parents vile names for doing so. Parents talk to other parents. And they are starting to figure out that the majority of uni courses are dumb and more importantly bad for the kid. --- End quote --- People have been talking about this for some years, so if parents are reacting it seems to be very slowly. --- End quote --- Yes but this year a few parents I know with kids in high school during all this madness have changed their tune now that they are shopping around for the kid's next adventure. In the last few years, I've seen them go from being all-in for uni to having a lot of doubt. |

Because of its religious connotations, and connections to Greek mythical superbeings, and Roman emperors. So, it is now called, SLMC7. Which stands for: Superbeings Lives Matter Colony 7. Similarly, Jupiter, is now being called BD139. Because BD139 stands for Best Developer 13th (precinct) 9th division. By coincidence, it also was a type of transistor. EDIT: Just in case: :-DD |
