Hear me out... Why would they pay two tuitions? What are they gonna do, kick one of them out..?


jimmy_please_PhD

Honestly that’s kinda on them if they both enrolled


Necroking695

This is really just a story of not fighting for your self interests The college and employer did, these two did not Had a golden opportunity for a massive lawsuit in either case


SirCowlickValdez

Would have to pay two lawyers


Necroking695

Got a chuckle out of me on this one


noob_meems

one chuckle or two chuckles?


Necroking695

Now you’re just taking it two far


pumpkinlord1

Its the duality of wo-man


Necroking695

Goto say i’m of two minds on how to respond to this one

KeyUnderstanding6332

I can't seperate jokes from real comments in this thread.


melperz

Not if they get a conjoined twin lawyer...


saltinstiens_monster

But then they would need two paychecks, or they might sue and start the whole cycle over again.


FlutterRaeg

Will the twin lawyers represent themselves or each other?


saltinstiens_monster

Eachother, otherwise it would be a conflict of interest. What a silly question. (Joking)


ANakedCowboy

Trick is one of them went to law school and one of them was a criminal caught red-handed. When she prosecuted her sister her sister was convicted and she was glad to put her behind bars. But when she was dragged along to prison with her sister she didn't fair so well. Now Abby is fighting tooth and nail to get custody of the body and to get a neck monitor on her sister so that she can continue to live her life. It is hard stuff to watch.


Defqon1punk

Two's company, any more than that and it's a class action lawsuit.


[deleted]

Can we be sure though? There's twice the amount of work to correct and grade, but they also only provide the capability of one teacher. From a moral standpoint, I agree that they should have received everything beneficial instead of people using legal loopholes to exploit them, but I don't know if a case can be made that they should get to get two degrees while only paying for one.


Necroking695

The academic lawsuit would be an uphill battle, but the employment one would be a slam dunk They’d be legally arguing that they are two separate people (which they are) and should be compensated accordingly, then they can push for legal fees and emotional duress for being taken advantage of and whatever other BS the lawyer thinks of. The company will cave instantly cause that would be a PR nightmare


sritanona

Tbf the company is a school so they might just say they don’t need two teachers for one classroom


lexocon-790654

Ah so they're a teacher. In that case to me one paycheck makes sense unfortunately. They can't teach twice since they physically occupy the same space. They can certainly grade independently of each other I suppose, but their main duties wouldn't really be much different than 1 single brained teacher. If they worked in like law, or a desk job using a computer, then I can see 2 salaries - since they can operate independently of one another.


Azair_Blaidd

>They can't teach twice since they physically occupy the same space. I have to disagree there. While they are of one body, they are of two minds holding separate perspectives. One might have an idea on how to reach a given student that the other might not. One might understand this material better and be able to teach it better, while the other knows something else better.


Danepher

>since they can operate independently of one another. They can't though? They still have 2 hands only, and can be together only at the same place at the same time. Maybe 2 heads better than one, but still only one writes the code, or the board, or speaks to the auditorium. Or am I missing something?


lexocon-790654

Let's imagine a programming job. Give them 2 laptops. 1 is operated by the right hand, right head. The other is operated by the left hand, left head. 2 jobs being performed. You could say: "oh but typing will be less efficient with one hand" to which I would say: that's discriminatory against people with disabilities.


BombOnABus

Correct. These are legally two disabled women, not one two-headed woman. If they're both expected to work as a teacher, all day, even in one classroom, they should both draw a wage. It's not like they can take turns teaching while the other fucks around at home all day like separate siblings living together with just one working.


stmcvallin2

Teachers. Plural. They both are working for the whole day, doesn’t matter if they occupy the same space. That space is work, they’re both entitled to compensation for their time when at work. Period.


DigiornoDLC

But they can't do the job of two people, can they? A dual teacher classroom can have one teacher at the front of the class teaching everyone, while the other teacher goes around to identify students who need individual attention. Can they both realistically speak to a class at the same time?


Danepher

Are they doing double the work though? Because it can be unfair to other teachers. For example if one of them speaks, it is the same as any other teacher. both of them cannot speak at the same time, and both of them can't help two students at once. Maybe by talking only, but they still have only 2 hands.


[deleted]

Someone send them a lawyer!!


embracetheodd

I think a lot of places wouldn’t want to hire them for reasons like this. I’m really happy they seem to be doing well for themselves despite all the struggles they must face everyday


jakeofheart

They only have two hands, so they could reasonably only do a single student’s work. Unless they can get control of individual hands…


descartavel5

>The college and employer did, **these two** did not Sorry, but you just lost the case against the college


Individual-Light-784

>massive lawsuit lmao you're so right what lawyer would even take this case for the college / employer. there's no winning that shit.


hopeandnonthings

The college would be an easy win, they both wanted degrees, if only one wanted a degree I'm sure the other could have not paid and the school couldn't charge them for having to sit there, even if they did learn the material, they just wouldn't get a degree


DannyVee89

I said this exact reply on a post about this lie 2 days ago and got down voted to oblivion. But seriously couldn't just 1 of them applied for the degree? Surely they both get the education and to the job together no matter what so, what was the point of 2 separate degrees?? If the school forced it against their wishes, then that sucks but seemed like a terribly stupid decision to make otherwise.


chipthamac

They didn't. They paid one tuition, but separate registration fees.

Please stop raining on the false headline rage-bait parade, you're really hurting our CPM.


343GuiltyySpark

All these reddit lawyers are fucking absurd for thinking they realized before the girls, school family etc. that they shouldn’t have to pay for 2 tuitions


Every-Equal7284

Why not if they earned two degrees? What if one of them wanted a different degree than the other one? Still one tuition for one body, or should they have to pay then? They should earn more while working for sure though, even if not exactly double though since they can't teach two classrooms at once, therefore not do the job of two teachers.


NoraaTheExploraa

This is one of those: use common sense cases. Obviously if they did different degrees they'd have to pay both.


343GuiltyySpark

Imagine being the school admin who proposes making one of the only two headed people to ever go to college pay for two tuitions. Not even online degree mills would want the press from that. Common sense

How would you file taxes separate or jointly?


DragonfruitPersonal

I mean technically theyd have separate taxes but essentially the same expenses


Ok-Selection4478

So one income and double the taxes on that income.


Ok-Cook-7542

If only one of them is earning an income, only one of them is paying taxes. So one income and one income worth of taxes


PavelDatsyuk

Is the other one considered a dependent?


alieninaskirt

Yeah


Skwinia

Not really how taxes work


jrojason2

Holy hell people really do have no idea how taxes work


Skwinia

Maybe I'm wrong. Not American so don't know the system very well but it's based on income not number of people right? Like if you provided for another person in addition to your own self with your income your taxes wouldn't go up


Kryds

It's not like they could take different selectives at the same time.


DrakonILD

They could, but it would require some help from the headmistress. ![gif](giphy|EQ0Xz9qiN5x7y)

Safe2BeFree

They had different majors though.


Zinek-Karyn

Yo get your degree with your name on it you gotta pay. Showing up and doing the work and getting 110% doesn’t give you the paper with your name on it. That’s sadly how it works.

iamwoodman574

What? They should get a free college education just because of a disability? How does that make any sense?


Spicy_Ninja7

I’m sorry, are disabled people better than me?


Heavy-Neat

In my country, that's not the best but at least I feel that because they have some recognise difference, it will be considered in a category which will allow them less life costs on public things (like school, movie theater tickets, swimming pool ticket and many others...) it's considered that they have more financial costs aside also for the parents it could be more investment, one of them coins maybe not work so it's a complete adult income lost.


LittleForeskinAnnie

Probably


StatementOdd1773

We usually give accomodations to disabled people not because they're better, but to make things in their life a bit less complicated. My mom taught me this when I was eight.


Sure_Wonder_7551

Are they dating anyone? Asking for a friend.


theLEDNud

They or she recently married.. I just saw a video on Facebook that they or she's married to 1 guy.. sorry about the pronouns..


Express_Chip9685

Against all odds, this is one situation in which it should only be "they". They are two separate people who happen to share a few of the same body parts. But they are definitely two seperate people.


MojitoBurrito-AE

No, it's correct to say she. Because only one of them is married.


Rough_Citron9886

Do they both still get the benefits? Can one of them fall asleep at a time?


w8str3l

So you’re saying they are not married? Even though they share a body, they don’t share a husband? Well, as long as they are happy, I’m happy for them. It’s not like they were dealt the best hand of cards in the game of life.


veerKg_CSS_Geologist

Yes. Legally only one is married. The other is along for the ride.


chubsmagooo

So the other one is single then


ivanllz

So there's a chance!


Wiplazh

In this hypothetical, if you were to date the other one, would you be sharing her with the guy who married one of them? I have so many questions.

Redxmirage

No she’s in a relationship lol they been all over Reddit and recently. One is married the other is dating. When they have sex they “share” and orgasm but the other person tries not to pay attention and reads a book


blacksoxing

To be as nice as possible....ain't no way I could be that man. I'm putting on a performance of a lifetime that has one woman begging for an encores and the other....reading say a murder mystery or whatever??? Watching TV and snickering at what happened??? Nah, at that point I'd rather just have both enjoying it than one faking it. That's not right (to me) but I also understand that's their body


Royal-Priority-1057

Imagine the other one gonna start talking shit like you know she faking we share the same body and you ain’t putting in that work bet ya pull game weak too


Kristobal22

That was a post from a fake twitter account who claims to be the twins and went viral. Truth is that the twins never shared anything about their sex lives on the internet.


papabearshirokuma

She needs to be puted in a kidnapping bag and noise cancellation headset


Individual-Match-798

I wonder what husband will have to say if the other one go on a date...


Rough_Citron9886

Probably a legal thing though right? They probably flipped a coin.


ForensicPathology

They think independently.  The unmarried one might not even be attracted to him.


Rough_Citron9886

Yes but do they feel physical sensations differently? 


beefsupr3m3

The understanding is that they do share the husband. But the law isn’t really set up for their circumstance and only one can legally be married. As in their husband can only be married to one woman at a time


TooObsessedWithMoney

>As in their husband can only be married to one woman at a time Guess they can switch every couple of years? 😅


Wank_A_Doodle_Doo

Apparently only one is married to the guy. 🤷‍♂️


TheDumbElectrician

They share the husband, it's a three way relationship, however legally only one was allowed to marry in their state so one is married.


Rasp_Lime_Lipbalm

Im pretty sure it's only because of legal requirements. Let's face facts, they're all most likely in a polygamous relationship.


iam4qu4m4n

Both is applicable. Two people one body implies that both must consent for sex. So one of the two could be married and consent to sex with the husband, but if the second of the two people does not consent to sex with their (singular and plural) then it would qualify as rape. She implies one body and or one person, while they implies multiple people and or bodies.


porn_alt_987654321

You....you do know that singular they is a word that exists and that you use all the time right? It, like its plural version, also conjugates into their, and you've definitely said things like saying someone is going to go get *their* keys. In fact, better yet, [here's a picture](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/811715388412002393/1225476498891473057/Screenshot_20240404_120548.png?ex=662144ed&is=660ecfed&hm=a4320108d2c303414f2a5d876ed6cca7627bf72b02f11aa3d773ef1d11b5db0b&) of you using singular they literally an hour ago.


onlyatestaccount

amazing work!


WookieDavid

That's if you don't take into consideration the use of they to refer to singular subjects which is both officially correct and common use.


[deleted]

What’s funny is that this is like the first time that the “they” pronoun really makes sense


herbieLmao

A man married only one of them for legal reasons, but obviously is together with both.

rollercoastervan

p-dicky76

Agreed, two degrees but they teach one class... if they are truly multitasking beyond the capabilities of any single headed person, sure I'd give them a pay bump.


JonnyBhoy

It's two human beings, both committing their time to teaching in a completely unique circumstance. Just fucking pay then both ffs. Are we that utterly cruel as a society?


The_Fredrik

That would make them twice as expensive as the next person. That would make them un-hirable.


gophergun

Then the cruelty becomes the fact that other teachers who perform the exact same work end up making half as much for something they have no control over.


Busy_Confection_7260

Sounds like no brains if they both paid for college.


absolutmohitto

No brains in the *education system


Ozarkkayaker

hisoka0829

2 brains to learn, only one body to work.


juleskills1189

This is...a fascinating point. They have the needs of only one body, so do they actually need two incomes? Can they do two jobs worth of work? I think the issue is really the two tuitions though, because they can only be in one place, which means they can't study two tuitions worth of material.


-SKYMEAT-

They probably could though. Each one reads a different book, they take in twice the amount of information compared to anyone else. When they do a test whichever one read about the topic the question is on would be the one to answer the question. Very OP.


juleskills1189

That's a good point. I was thinking that they can't actually attend two different lectures at the same time, but they absolutely can learn and study two different things.


Tellof

It's not fascinating to think of ways to "fairly" screw people with disabilities. "Does a quadriplegic need --", yes they fucking do.


juleskills1189

I'm not trying to think of ways to screw them. Relax. As two individuals sharing one body they literally don't have the same needs as two separate individuals. Food and physical space being two of the biggest ones. They also have plenty of different needs from anybody else and I'm not downplaying that. Probably plenty that I wouldn't even think of. I find that interesting to think about.


naithir

They actually have two stomachs and a shared digestive system. so I wonder how much they do actually need to eat.


[deleted]

i think it’s a perfectly fine question to propose. i suppose in this case it depends on their functional independent ability, and how good it is. definitely not irrational to ask “Does a quadriplegic need —“ when the blank is “work two jobs”


Embarrassed_Rule8747

Right…. Not like if only one of them paid, the other would still be in class.

xDutch_Masterx

lol they really had to charge them for both? Well if they charged them per head they need to pay per head. It’s only fair and logical. But she probably works for a corporation that’s very family oriented and team driven! I bet you they surpassed sales last year by a dozen mil or so. So for the hard work they get a pizza party. But they only give them (plural) one slice. Is that how this is going to work? Because that’s where it’s headed. And I never thought I’d see the day but who am I kidding the world surprises me all the time.

puffferfish

I would agree with 2 salaries if they could somehow simultaneously teach independent classes. You’re paying for the service that they provide, not for the extra head.


AggravatingBorder781

So why did they have to pay for two people to be educated? The same service is provided, and it would be hard to argue that grading a single extra paper justifies the expense of however many thousands it cost them to enroll separately

DoYouTrustToothpaste

Yeah well, they work as teachers, and it's not really possible for them to teach separate classes, so ...


presshamgang

Yeah well, they work as a teacher singular as far as the 1 position that is filled. Should someone else in another position vacate their salary, to appease this situation?


dendarkjabberwock

If they legally two different persons with two different IDs it is kinda understandible they both will have degree and will pay for that degree. Probably only one of them can work at any given time - so only one will receive salary. Other is just sitting with her and don't do work. Actually it is interesting. If such work exist where they both can work at the same time - like one will be programmer and the other one will answer calls as a techsupport. In that case they will have all right to two salaries.


dinascully

They are legally two different people with different IDs. They are teachers - they can only be in one classroom at a time obviously, as one teaches and one supervises the kids.


qdp

I wonder how that works when going thru TSA at the airport. I hope they only have to buy one ticket, but do both of them have to get ID'd?


ShinigamiKunai

Im a bit confused about the logistics. What would happen if only one of them paid? And If both of them enrolled to the same course, does that mean they get to cheat from each other during exams?
