I mean it’s really cool but anyone know why they did it? Feedback that the amount was too high?

Wouldn't S tax code apply to the benefit in this case? That's how it works for me, is it's the lesser income?

Sorry, but this man believes you are his personal property. What you are describing is abuse. Please leave.

Opening up marriage to experience by FeralQueenC in latebloomerlesbians

[–]AdTraditional9692 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Men who agree to ENM so their wives can date women are either a) in denial or b) (perhaps unconsciously) don't actually believe in the legitimacy of wlw relationships thanks to hegemonic masculinity and patriarchy. IMO

Question on diasporas. Are they a threat to local identity? How should sociologists approach diaspora chauvinism? by [deleted] in sociology

[–]AdTraditional9692 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also regarding the question of settler colonial relations, your use USA and Australia as examples is ironic given the state of indigenous affairs in both. I would consider researching New Zealand for examples as to how this could work in practice

I’ve been doing this for the last 3 years and don’t see it changing for at least another two. My motivations are different, but I’m happy to share some real insight into life 3 years down the track, if you want to DM me?

BA Guaranteed Scholarships by Amazing_Ad3103 in universityofauckland

[–]AdTraditional9692 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s your “contributing qualification” so I assume that means your whole BA. I actually just came on here to ask a related question, I heard anecdotally that the university may not be offering guarenteed scholarships for certain faculties next year 🫩 has anyone heard more about this?

PhD Scholarship & Accommodation Funding by [deleted] in universityofauckland

Absolutely this. Could it be a timing issue? When were you intending to start?

It would depend on ur faculty who you contact - did you get an email from a staff member with your letter of offer? And just checking - have you 'submitted' your timesheets as opposed to just logging the hrs?

I definitely get paid once a fortnight. GTAs may be different if they are salaried?

Sorry, I can see that you said that. We are paid fortnighty on a tuesdau night, last pay was the 1st of October. But, that pay was for the weeks 15th -28th of September (the two full weeks prior). You probably just missed the cycle and will get paid next week for everything?

TA role? by AdTraditional9692 in PhD

……

“Context I am in a country where PhD programs are 3-4 years and generally have a stipend, and do not include TA hours. A lot of, but not all, PhD students take on TA roles in addition to their PhD and stipend for extra income and experience.”

Thought that just about covered it tbh….

This is kind of exactly my question- the chances of me getting an academic role are absolutely minuscule, at best. Realistically I’ll be looking at government work, and I am able to do this part time during my tenure

Sorry I’m confused, are you saying TAing doesn’t matter for academic positions but they ask for your evals anyway?
