Had a class where the cutoff was 17 years IIRC so it's entirely possible that sources from the 90s aren't accepted in their class.

Yeah, I looked at this and wondered what was so surprising about the text; I’m the same age as this incredible paper and I’ve regularly had professors that wouldn’t accept something that old. To be honest, what I landed on is OOP is also a ‘94 baby who’s teaching their first class.

Calling 90's "late 1900s" is mega weird for anyone who isn't really young

Being born in 2000 would make you 23 years old today… which means you could feasibly have graduated college by then. So maybe less weird than you think.

Kids born after 2000 have surely still heard of "the nineties"?

[–] leggettc18 1 points 11 months ago

I didn’t say it wasn’t weird, just less weird than us 90s kids and older might think at first.

It's not genocide if they aren't culling based on genetics.
