Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Its wild to think that when this started I was not married and my now wife then girlfriend was still in college. Time flies. Aside from that, what the fuck putin?

Probably important to note that in American English, college refers to tertiary education ('university' elsewhere)

How far does college go? PhD?

For most, "College" is the first 4 or so years getting a bachelor's degree. Beyond that is "Grad school" where you get Graduate degrees like PhDs, Masters degrees, and whatnot.

I only did undergrad and the degree was in acting so take what I say with a grain of salt as I am an authority on practically nothing.
