zFiend Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 I generally pretend Bleach is a three season anime. After that, it just got obnoxious. I saw it through to the end of the Aizen story once just to say I had, then went back to pretending it stopped at the end of season three. Though if they ever animate the last storyline, I might consider bothering with it again. I quit at the end of aizen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustcrusher Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Will Ferrell is amazing and I won't hear anything about it! Okay.. He's done some shit movies too but I really like him for most part. Will Ferrell has done a lot of terrible movies, but he's a funny guy. The bit he does where he has his (then) two-year-old daughter play his landlord is hilarious. His George W. Bush impressions are great, too. The problem is, most of his movies have the same problem other as most other SNL alumni movies- there are 1-3 good bits in them and the rest is pure filler. Think about Adam Sandler- the three movies that lend the most creedence to my hypothesis: Billy Madison- "Want to touch the hiney" and the dodgeball scene. The Waterboy- Calling in to talk to Captain Insano, the bit where he powerbombs an opposing player. Happy Gilmore- "That's the price is right, bitch." Look up those parts and you'll get the funny bits while skipping all of the unneeded junk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirial Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 That moment you look at the clock on your computer and just realize you've been at work 7 hours already. It's more the opposite for me: I always look at the clock and think "Only 1 hour until it's just 2 hours until can go home in 3 hours." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clockwork Top Hat Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 We have primary schools (up to 11 years old) secondary school (sometimes called a high school) (11 to 16 years old) then 6th form/college (16 to 18 years old) and after that we have university.

Dustcrusher Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 I'm curious now. For us it goes like this: Sometimes there is pre-Kindergarten for the slower kids (not meant as an insult) and 4-year-olds, but it's almost always in private schools. Kindergarten to 5th Grade (sometimes 6th Grade): Elementary School 6th Grade to 8th Grade (sometimes 7th-9th): Middle School 9th Grade (Freshmen), 10th Grade (Sophomores), 11th Grade (Juniors), and 12th Grade (Seniors): High School (some places don't have freshmen for some reason, they are just 10-12) Years 1-4 at a four-year college or university lead to a Bachelor's Degree Then you can spend 2 more years at some colleges or universities to get a Master's Degree Lastly, a couple more years (and probably interning for a few more) in a similar vein leads to a Doctorate/PhD. Also, college and university are pretty much the same thing, though usually colleges are smaller and privately owned, while universities are typically larger and state-funded in part.

zFiend Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 All kinds of ragequit and tableflip? Kinda glad I got the metal ones now. Well I've actually gotten used to and a bit better at assembling them and after the utter money waste that was the Somer boxset I'm just glad everytime the assembly isn't the same level of horror, frustration and utter realisation you just bought models you'll never be able to play with.

Dustcrusher Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 Pretty much like that, except we had Middlesex County College, which we called (most derisively) the 13th Grade - it's where the kids you knew would never go to a four year college went just to say they went to college. The kind of people that if you asked them why they are in college, they would respond "to meet girls / guys" 12th Grade was Senior Year of High School (17-18 yrs). College/University isn't a thing unless you actually have money to pay for it. They managed to make a commercial industry out of higher education. Every state has one of those terrible colleges. Oddly enough, one of the best nursing programs in our state is at a community college. There are people who get accepted into the nursing program at a larger university but couldn't make the cut at Columbia State. Crazy, right? I was lucky enough to finish college just before the obscene tuition hikes. Only took me nine years to pay off my loans, and I wasn't working steadily for all of that time. Now it's absolutely insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, college and university are pretty much the same thing, though usually colleges are smaller and privately owned, while universities are typically larger and state-funded in part. What are these like where you guys live? Western Australia has: Kindergarten (5yo) Primary School (6 to 12yo, Grades 1-7) High School (13 to 17yo, Grades 8-12) After school, universities generally have 3-year Bachelor degrees with 1-year Honours degree add-ons for high-achieving students. Postgraduate study is usually either a 1-year Master's degree or a 3-year PhD (generally requires Honours). Professional degrees (Engineering, Law, Medicine etc) have longer periods of study (6 years for general Medicine, followed by specialisation, for example). Teaching requires a 1-year postgraduate diploma. There are also TAFE technical colleges which teach practical job skills (Certificates and Diplomas in various ranks, generally taking 6 months to a year each), or apprenticeships for tradespeople. State-funded schools are available everywhere, but expensive private schools are seen as more prestigious. Conversely, state universities are generally better and much cheaper than private universities, which are usually regarded as somewhere you go if you don't qualify for a "real" university and have to "buy" your degree. In both cases, private institutions are almost always affiliated with a religious group, though they will admit anyone. TAFE colleges are state-funded.

Dirial Posted July 10, 2015 Report Share Posted July 10, 2015 Morning, internet people. I'm curious now. What are these like where you guys live? In Germany, there is Kindergarten from 3-6 years. There is day care before that, but it's not part of the educational system. Day Care and Kindergarten aren't mandatory like school, but you have the legal right to get a spot for your child. By the way, Kindergarten is a German word meaning literally children garden. From 6-10 years, there's Grundschule, meaning basic school. At the end of this, all children are divided by ability and visit different school forms. With lowest ability, one goes to Hauptschule (main school) from 10-16 years. (Technically, school is mandatory till 17 years, but as our job certification includes school as well - which I explained to Crush once - this gets fulfilled by a back door.) Middling ability, one visits Realschule (reality school) from 10-17 years. Kids with the best grades visit Gymnasium (I'm always a bit confused when you talk the gym to work on your muscles - the Gym is the place we work our brains) form 10-19 years. You have to finish Gymnasium to visit a University. The three class system is somewhat fluid: Some schools have the three school forms all in one school, and its certainly possible to change form if you deemed in the wrong one. Also, there Sonderschule (special school) for people with learning disabilities. All these schools are mandatory and thus free, as well as books. There are private schools, but they usually either are affiliated with a religious group or for people with special disabilities like dyscalculia or dyslexia. State-funded schools are available everywhere, but expensive private schools are seen as more prestigious. Conversely, state universities are generally better and much cheaper than private universities, which are usually regarded as somewhere you go if you don't qualify for a "real" university and have to "buy" your degree. In both cases, private institutions are almost always affiliated with a religious group, though they will admit anyone. TAFE colleges are state-funded. Universities are all a conglomerate of private funding, state funding and welfare. I mean each one is, not over all. They are free by law, but may have an upkeep fee. It's usually around 600-700 Euro per year per student. On the other hand, they are in no way responsible for your living and food or such. Thus, students are in general poor but not indebted. There are some private universities but they are small, heavily supervised and usually full of nutters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
