Actually, it kinda is how it works. Many large state and private schools have multiple ceremonies (one for each college within the university), which are often more meaningful to students than the large commencement ceremony in the football stadium or a large nearby arena. So depending on where someone went to school, totally possible. Especially if someone got, say, a BS in science and BA in English.

No, that was the lead singer of the Barenaked Ladies. The original lead left shortly after BBT started and the theme was one of the first songs they recorded without him. I thought it was nice they had acoustic version.

Spot on!

I disagree. The second they saw her emotions on her face they knew why they were there...and she knew they knew and were standing in support of her. I thought the scenes with Abby were the best part. The scenes with Jo and mother felt inauthentic, and I say that as someone who found out in adulthood (and who's father found out very late in life) that my father had a sister in his (deceased) mother's native country that no one (outside dead grandmother) knew existed that was conceived as the result of a sexual assault. Jo came off like a bratty teen. This storyline seems driven not by a desire to be authentic to metoo, but rather as a contrived way to throw a wrench into happy Alex&Jo, and because they don't really seem to have any other storyline this season.

I assumed the toot sweet was on purpose...

Laredo isn't a ton of fun - for normal people. It's getting better. But what "fun" did they need when they don't actually do a lot of the things one does in a "fun" town? I also don't know why they bought the house. It's in a desirable, but older, part of Laredo. People buying in that area want newly flipped/renovated housing or want a price that reflects the fact that the new buyers will have to do that. The kitchen "reno" they did wasn't enough to help with the price, and the market hasn't increased much. They will recoup the price they paid, but won't "make" money on this sale for sure.

Yeah, I'm sure he does have a plan for LA. The school is on probation in part because of a pattern that indicates that the school grants more in financial aid to friends and relatives of the leader. I'm operating under the assumption that since Jer has been so far up the rear of that guy that he's been awarded full aid up to cost of attendance (and not in loans). That + show income they should be alright.

Oooo, don’t point out the seminary is under intense scrutiny by the accrediting body....he’ll delete your comment. But not before a dozen or so sheeple come for you cause you’re being mean and must be a fat heathen...

Yup.... I wonder how Jeremy, who for sure considers himself to be a grand intellectual, will feel when his degree becomes essentially worthless paper to anyone outside a small insular circle when Master's Seminary inevitably looses it's regional accreditation? From wikipedia: "As of July 18, 2018, The Master's University and Seminary was placed under probation by its accrediting institution, the Western Association of Schools and Colleges.[2] According to the letter sent by WASC to its president John F. MacArthur, WASC found TMUS in violation of multiple standards of accreditation, including competing loyalties among its board of directors, a lack of operational integrity, and a pattern of unethical treatment among faculty and staff. In addition, WASC's visiting team observed and received reports of a climate of fear, intimidation, bullying, and uncertainty among significant numbers of faculty and staff.[3] Furthermore, WASC released a statement stating its "extreme concern" that TMUS may be in violation of required reporting responsibilities under the Clery Act, the Violence Against Women Act, and the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act.[4] TMUS has less than two years to take action to fix the problems WASC discovered, otherwise TMUS' accreditation will be withdrawn. [5]" I work in and study higher ed. Most schools are put on probation for financial issues or certain academic issues, and many of those find it hard to address the issues that put them on probation. Most are NOT put on probation for things like this. This is a big deal. There is no way they can "fix" these issues in less than two years. Also, why does the MDiv there take 3-4 years???

There's nothing that limits an establishment's employees from asking. However, ALL they can as is 1) if it's a service dog and 2) one thing the dog is trained to do. That's all the ADA allows for as far as questions. And if the answers are 1) yes and 2) pretty much anything reasonable, you have to allow them. So having front-line employees ask is kind of pointless since they aren't really permitted with the capability to determine what constitutes "legitimate" training.

This part of the show was actually probably something close to accurate, at least timing-wise. The "university" as we know it, especially in the United States, really did come out of the German model of higher education from the 1800s. The research universities we have today are the result. Prior to that, even Harvard and Yale were in the business Cambridge was in in this episode - producing "learned" gentlemen, "educating" the next crop of people who would be essentially determining the direction of the country.

I’m a 40C. I’m not small in band size and boobs are decent sized. He is for sure larger than me in both band and cup.

Why would you choose a job that requires a four year apprenticeship if you are also going to school and don't want said job with the four year apprenticeship to be your career?

This!

The US embassy in Moscow actually recommends they process both (the citizenship/record of foreign birth and the passport) at the same time. https://ru.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/child-family-matters/birth/. The site doesn't specify, but it does seem like both things would be taken care of the same day (and that makes sense since the consulate in St. Petersburg is now closed so everyone has to go to the embassy in Moscow). I've had experience with Mexican consulates in the US and it's pretty common for the passport service to be same day if you're doing it in person in an embassy or consulate. I also know people who have lost US passports abroad and have had same day service in US consulates/embassies. Also helpful, it confirms what was said upthread that the child would require a Russian exit visa or Russian passport. Which makes Steven's demands slightly less terrifying?
