Except everywhere is getting more expensive, not just gentrified neighbourhoods. And a middle aged lawyer should be able to afford a 1 bedroom anywhere in the world, it's ridiculous what housing costs now.
It seems like that's just what ended up in the valley. 40 Olympic swimming pools is only 100,000 m3, but the title says 3,5 million m3 fell in the rockslide.
A pardon takes the crime off your criminal record, which is good for job applications and background checks.
I mean, Trump would probably be dead before he could be pardoned, but a 19 year old who got jailed for some weed can get a clear record at a fairly young age.
Poland should be ousted from the EU for it's horrid treatment of queer people, and the US is a strange mix since it's mostly up to each state, and some states are horrible fucking cesspits that should not be supported in anyway (looking at you Florida).
If they only supported Cuba that would be okay. But China and Russia, fuck no.
In my university you had breadth requirements, but it was 1 humanities course, 1 social science, and 1 science, and you could pick any course within those areas to fulfill the requirement. So you had a lot of choice within the core curriculum. Man, if other unis aren't doing that, that sucks.
You do realize you get to choose which courses to take in undergrad right? Universities aren't forcing you to take any of the courses, you choose ones in subjects you are interested in, and first year is to get you up to speed/introduce you to those subjects, so you can decide if you want to study them further.
once you have a major or specialist, then yeah, you have some required courses, but they do tend to be things very relevant to what you want to do.
Yep, my girlfriend acted as a scribe for disabled students at a university. She loved it, and the students were able to complete their written work and courses just fine as a result.
My uni just had people with handwriting issues do the exam in a separate room with a writer for you to narrate answers to.
People have been going to universities for millennia before the advent of computers, we have lots of ways to help people with disabilities that don't require computers.
I did my undergrad 2008-2012, we had zero online exams. Every exam was in person and hand written. People with disabilities were accommodated, usually with extra writing time for those that need it, or a separate room with a writer for you to narrate to.
It's really not a terrible issue, and something universities have been able to deal with for centuries.
