You start at the library… then you read a series they only have the first 2 of and fall in love.
So you need to buy the third one somewhere… then you have a choice to make, do you really buy JUST the third of a series? May as well just buy the box set…
I mean I don’t wanna just do cash advances on 100 stolen credit cards. That’ll get you caught so fast.
Legit crypto exchanges won’t accept credit cards anymore, they want a bank account attached.
You can use it to deliver stuff to like a nearby location you can like pick up, then sell I guess? But how often can you do that?
Using in stores assuming you have a physical card is dangerous because if it’s reported stolen by the time you use it, they’ll let the cops know and turn over the camera stuff.
Compare to, send the CC info to a random person, get $200 in crypto, and let them do one of the above and take all the risk. If you have 1000 stolen cards that is just so much safer and faster.
I read some free kindle books back in the day, that probably only a few thousand other people have read, so very plausibly no one on Lemmy has ready....
They are very up front with saying they are nationally accredited, which is a lower bar, I admit. But that’s the trade off I suppose.
I still wish I had gone through here instead of the for profit college I went to that was so expensive and was utterly trash despite having accreditation.
Regardless of lack of ability to transfer credits, I will recommend this over any for profit university at this point.
You are way too optimistic about the value accredited colleges have these days. It’s basically a meme for my generation that college degrees don’t mean much at all and don’t earn back their value at all.
But I will also say having only this accreditation is not unusual at all for online only learning universities, and the main target was people looking at online schooling anyway. So if you’re looking at online only college, this probably is equal to any of them in terms of value, but probably a fraction of the cost.
I mean I was mostly pointing out that if you wanted to test it out you could very easily and do a short certificate.
But I still don’t understand the hostility, as many online only colleges only have national accreditation. I specifically said if you’re looking at online schooling you should check it out, because it’s probably equivalent and much cheaper.
So my hope is if anyone is looking at online colleges, they at least consider this one as there is a chance that the one they are looking at has the exact same accreditation, but this will be far cheaper.
I’m comparing value to other online colleges with the exact same credentials.
My soul point was to direct people from overly expensive online college with the same accreditation to at least look at this to see if they teach what they are interested in.
Perhaps a YSK that you would like to post is that not all accreditations are made equal, and that many online only have National, which if you’re going into a competitive field will not look great, and also can not be transferred to regional accreditations.
It feels less like you have an issue with UO directly, but more with the fact that having the national online learning accreditation means you can claim accreditation, which may confuse people into thinking the degree from Online school X is held to the same standard as even their local community college. In the grand scheme of thing, I will 100% agree with you, so would be nice if it was called something more distinct.
Western governor’s, at a glance, appears to be about 8 times more expensive, just on the tuition alone. Who knows how much the rest is.
So in this case you pay less, but you get a lesser accreditation. Might not work for everyone, but I wish more people were aware of UOPeople as an option since I feel like there are a couple type of people that could benefit from it.
People who don’t know what they wanna do but feel like they need to get into college (May as well do it cheap as dirt)
People who due to financial situation won’t go to college any other way (Millions of people are begging for debt forgiveness because their degrees didn’t help them at all)
People who were planning on going to online college with a similar level of accreditation, can save like 40 grand by going here instead.
Those who want the more structured learning experience of college as that’s how they learn, but aren’t as concerned with the name.
Industry vets who are required to get some sort of degree for whatever reason like it’s required by stupid HR and need to check a box.
So my main note to anyone reading this, DO NOT pay full college prices to any university with only the national accreditation. There are a ton of them. If you’re going to one with only the distance learning accreditation, it better be at a STEEP discount (like my beloved UOpeople).
As for the name I can only shrug. Fingers crossed they are able to get their regional accreditation that they dream of and then some positive coverage makes them a house hold name, cause yeah the name sounds a “little” fake.
Most notably is probably Mcgill and University of Edinburg. So while it’s not great not being accredited regionally, it might be the perfect solution for some folks.

Also you only pay the fees when you test to get credits for the class, so you can take your first semester for just 60$ and see if you’re learning anything from it.
Tired of seeing the same old youtubers/twitch streamers get recommended/talked about all the time. Do you have some really good small time folks that are amazing?
They’ve always been a nightmare balance wise, so fingers crossed they make them less obnoxious. I don’t understand why they are uncapped either. Like outposts/mega structures outside of gates are, why can AI build 50 of these suckers?
My favorite thing is when my army and fleet become unstacked, so my army retreats to the other side of the galaxy because they run into an outpost because you can’t just like give them even a single FP.
I now understand, he needs to come with us and to have a little section for how many little Steve’s we have successfully brought home and can like see them all running around together.
Never played the game but I get it, I have pack bonded with Steve and he needs to get to safety.
After doing proper research I am now in love with Steve and am HIGHLY offended that he can’t come home with us.
He is best boy, and I want to be able to not only bring them back home with me, but have a room filled with every Steve I have ever rescued so they can all be friends together.
In a similar vein on skyrim, what’s the point of having merchants have limited money when fast travel/wait is a thing?
All it does is make me spend 10 minutes fast traveling to all the towns to sell my stupid dragon bones. What does that even add? It doesn’t add difficulty or immersion. Because of the dumb encumbrance, I can’t continue playing the game until I sell all this crap, so I gotta deal with it sooner or later.
The being unable to open wooden doors is also so weird in games where you HAVE lockpicking. Like in skyrim you can be a master lockpicker with the skeleton key, yet some locks just… require a key? Flying in the face of all game lore.
Why do random houses have these magical locks? I understand it’s for game design, but put important stuff behind things that reasonably block the player!
Lack of EXP sharing also discourages trying new things. Like you get a new party member 10 levels below your current party, and like they “look” cool… but that would mean grinding the crap out of it just to see if they are fun. So you end up just sticking with the highest party members and never touching any others.
Ugh this is why I can’t play Vanilla mount and blade warband.
In every single city you enter, you have to find the important people to talk to. They all are the exact same people, but you have to find them. And they are all in different places in the city, but there is absolutely nothing else interesting in the city to find. Like there are no secrets, you just have to wander the city looking for the Quest Giver in an otherwise bland city.
Every single mod ever simply adds a button you can click saying “Speak to guild master”
Games like that are also notorious, at least for me, where I constantly am like “ooh if I start a new game I can do X differently, I wonder what that’ll be like…”
I… for some reason am seeing red at the idea of a game I am playing not letting me rebind keys? It’s such a bare minimum feature and is so frustrating when you can’t.
I’ve realized I am really bothered by passive voice in cleaning with people I live with. “I am going to do the dishes tonight” - great “Eric, would you take out the trash tonight please?” - that’s fine!
