Monkey's Magical Treehouse of Awesomeness

well if you are going to visit the college then that is the place to ask. do they have an entrance exam?

Entry exams are usually just for freshmen or if a specialized degrees if you change majors.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

wouldn't you be a freshman if you were starting over? Say if the classes you took didn't transfer to the place you wanted to go? Maybe they should have exams to see if you would be good for that field before you actually take classes and find out you don't like it or don't understand it. Is that aptitude tests? (Since I think I got confused with entrance and aptitude tests)

[+] SPOILER

"An aptitude test is an exam used to determine an individual's propensity to succeed in a given activity. Aptitude tests assume that individuals have inherent strengths and weaknesses, and are naturally inclined toward success or failure in certain areas based on their innate characteristics".

"Guard rail saves drivers life"
In a story where a driver almost falls off thr side of like a mountain but the guard rail stops him.

Um, thats why they're there. It isnt for decoration. ._.

They report it like its this new amazing thing, but it isnt.

I know the term "fake news" is thrown around a lot, but it's like most of the media tries to turn non-stories into stories these days even if it's not a blatant effort used to sway opinion based on complete fabrications. I understand that the business model of being paid per click (i.e. click bait) is simply how things work, the concept of journalistic integrity simply doesn't exist anymore...

[MonkeyGirl18]

I saw it in tv, not on the internet. My only question is, since it happened on a very curvy road on the side of a mountain, why he was racing around the corner to begin with. Then he holds a sign that says "im ok" and makes me think its all set up.

[galled]

OK, well, TV works the same way. Perhaps "engagement" is a better term to use rather than clicks. We used to use the term "eyeballs," to mean viewers. Media has resorted to hyperbole to try and gain (or even maintain!) engagement because engagement=money.

Hmm, that does seem staged...

I had gotten a couple things at WalMart....
One of was a bottle of cherry coke.

I didn't have the bagger put it in a bag (I should have)...




I had accidentally left the soda in the cart.






An hour later, I find out, contemplate whether to go back and see if it's still there because surely someone had saw it and taken it or the carts aren't even there anymore.




Decided "why not" and went....






Coke was still there. 5 carts behind it, none of them eyeing the soda and taken it. I got my coke that I paid for. What luck!

[galled]

LOL, that is lucky! Then again, I would be reluctant to drink or eat any food I find laying around even if it looks like it hasn't been opened. I'm too paranoid someone would have messed with it as a prank or something more nefarious...

[MonkeyGirl18]

It can't be messed with, really, if the seal isn't broken. And the seal wasn't broken.


Now, if I had sipped it and left it in the cart, I wouldn't bother trying to get it back.

[Lemon Cheesecake]

I love to hear where something can be left, safe, doesn't happen so often anymore.

I've forgotten a case of water on the bottom of the cart before - called the store- and the store actually found it and gave me the case of water. Apparently it happens fairly often. (That was quite awhile ago).

[galled]

Totally agree. I guess I should have said if I didn't leave it there and just ran across it, I wouldn't eat or drink it even if it looked un-tampered with. (I've seen in the news some pretty sick people out there tampering with stuff with intent to do some damage. Hence the paranoia.) Since you knew you put it there, no one would have the time to rig up something to replace it with so you'd be safe. I would be OK with your scenario. You're fine and lucky!

[MonkeyGirl18]

Yeah, I prolly wouldn't take it if I saw it, but there would be someone who'd decide to take it, probably. I'm just glad it was still there and still shocked about it. Glad I decided to swing by the store.

[MonkeyGirl18]

I found the episode my town was in for Paranormal Lockdown! lol.

Their second episode ever! S1E2.

Except the quality is crap because the uploader decided to cut majority of the video's frames, like the shot isn't as wide as it actually is, out. Like, to avoid copyright strike. But it's so annoying.

[Gingerale]

I may just check it out to check out your town!

[MonkeyGirl18]

I just bought a ps4, don't have my own tv, though. Hm, I don't think my dad would take it too well if he learned I bought a game console with my own money, even though it's my money. I should be saving my money.

But, I wouldn't be happy til I bought this because I've been dying to play this one game on the ps4. The Attack on Titan Wings of Freedom game.

Now it's guaranteed. When I move out, my friend is bringing her tv.


I have my sights set for September, October to move out.
