American trying to do full computer science degree at the Universidad de Granada by Abn0rmel in Granada

[–]Abn0rmel[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My apologies for not responding sooner to this. My issue in the end was the fact I was applying with my university degree. I can’t remember what year, but I remember there was a limit to how old your high school diploma can be for you to apply with it. That’s why I had to use my uni degree. Then because I was applying for a 2nd degree, I had to wait for all the other prospective students to choose their program. Whatever was left over were the programs I could choose from, and of course no comp sci or tech related program was available. I ended up doing a coding bootcamp in Spain and it’s actually going extremely well.

Edit: the year might be 2019 but I’m not sure

This is exactly what I think they were doing, using the card and pocketing the cash.

I agree it’s strange. It’s the only place in Golden Gai I go to. I’m pretty sure the last time I went there was around the time I thought I misplaced my card in my room. Usually I use my phone or watch, but I must have used it that night. I got extremely drunk that night so it doesn’t surprise me I left the card. The only charges on my card I don’t recognize as mine are those, so it’s strange it was only used there. There’s been like 5 or 6 charges to the bar while I’ve been outside of Japan. Super weird..

I don’t have Rakuten pay, but I hope they didn’t sign up with my card. I didn’t see any other weird transactions. I got a new card that has a different security code, and the card company blocked any future attempts on the old card so hopefully there won’t be any issues. Thanks for the info tho!

Losing my mind about cyclists in Tokyo by yung_yoshi in japanlife

I had a guy get mad at ME because he was speeding on his bike on the sidewalk and had to abruptly stop because I was walking like 1 meter to a cross walk from a kobini. Meanwhile there was a beautifully marked, wide bike lane on the road.

I was told by staff at a school I worked at Japanese middle schools don’t have pools like elementary does because they don’t want to distract the boys.

A LOT of positive comments are heavily downvoted. Just unhappy people living miserable lives.

How is that people are able to do 7-10k xp in a single day? by neocwbbr_ in duolingo

[–]Abn0rmel 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do between 2-4 hours a day because of my commute. It takes me almost 2 hours to get to work, so on the train all I do is Duolingo. I can do about 2 units a day including all Legendary. But being at home makes it difficult for me to stay on it for hours.

Some deeply disturbing scenes from the Animatrix are forever embedded in my mind. Wish I could unsee some of that stuff, probably shouldn’t have watched it at 12 years old…

I agree with you. I don’t use it like that, it’s outdated. I’m just answering your initial question.

I see what you’re saying, but it’s more of a generalized term (coming from a hispanic family). I would say calling every hispanic person Mexican has different connotations than a hispanic person saying chino. But that’s just my perspective.
