The watercooler: a place to chat

honestly, sounds like my university. but i'm glad they take the pandemic as seriously as they could. so how are they going to handle with the examination though? like is there a schedule? how many people are there in the classroom? what about social distancing?

[KhanSpring]

A group of 20 people at one time.

[doriantorres112]

and is that small in terms of the size of your classroom?

[KhanSpring]

No, not all. The corridors are small too. And each year is between 150 - 200 people.

[doriantorres112]

that's gotta be a lot of students when the physical exams, even when there's 20 students per classroom.

[Kelheor]

I am not sure when people are joking or being offended anymore

[KhanSpring]

If it is real, then there is something wrong them. I mean, to be offered by someone hating dragons.

[Snickerdoodles]

Maybe they identify as a dragon.

[Kelheor]

I wonder there they took the words about people named Dragons... Anyway I will of course think of it as a joke Lately I have nothing to say at all when trying to answer to some comments, guess I'll skip these two.

[Snickerdoodles]

You've got to know someone well before you get a sense of whether they're being sarcastic or not.

[doriantorres112]

um, whut this? i can't proces with what going on with those comments? i mean, what kind of people named their kid dragon.

[samshee]

I'd rather be named Dragon than Abcde or Covid or...Sanitiser...

'Sanitizer', 'Covid', 'Corona' - the eternal saga of pandemic baby names

[doriantorres112]

that's worse, and an opportunity for the child to get bullied to be honest. i mean i'd laugh if someone satirically made baby names out of the pandemic cause it's a good laugh and all but i'm worried if someone takes it seriously.

[Kelheor]

It's from my first page kids are sitting in front of campfire, the smallest wants to hear a story about dragons, another girl saying she's tired of him talking about dragons.
Well, people name kids Tiger or River, Dragon is not too bad of a choice xD I would prefer Draco thought

[Snickerdoodles]

I named my kids Oberon and Prospero. But I also gave them more-common first names and we usually call them by those names.

[Kelheor]

I see you are a man of culture I really like Oberon choice though! So they have double names? It's usual at your place?

[KhanSpring]

These are some cool names

[doriantorres112]

yeah, you're right. if you gonna name your kid, at least choose a bad ass name. the eyes of the tiger or dragon is a better fitting for creative name. some girl, who gave birth at my mom's workplace, named her son after the anesthesia she was injected with. a celebrity named her child after India. also some kid was named condom after a combination of his parents' name. tbh draco is a great name.

also some dude creatively named his children with the word german on it (because he's also named with the word german). they also have a german shepherd as a dog.

@Sir_Snickerdoodles what does those mean? kinda cool tbh.

[Snickerdoodles]

Double names are quite common in my country, and at least I didn't get creative with the spelling. Like, "Jhorney" is pretty common.

[Snickerdoodles]

They're both Shakespeare references. Oberon was the fairy king from A Midsummer Night's Dream and Prospero was the wizard from The Tempest.
