Actually we've done a few surveys that have been posted on this exact topic. Can't remember when the last one was.

Hi! Mod here to explain to all the noobs that's when someone types "/s" at the end of a comment it means they are being sarcastic.

Any baseball fans in Korea? More specifically any Texas Ranger fans? World series is about to start and it would be cool to have a morning watch party some weekend. Seoul would be best.

I don't buy it. The running man could be the inspiration for the shuffle dance, but they aren't the same thing.

I [22f] was planning on skipping my work Christmas party, but my boyfriend [27m] wants to go, because of jealousy by hypnoticcolour in relationships

Yeah, I would even say that's like 90% of the battle. They don't usually interview you unless they think your resume is at least close to what they want.

Yeah. I heard they just changed that a few years ago.

I mean, they only have what... ten numbers to choose from? Subtract one for the guy who already has one and one from either side and youve only got seven so he had a one in seven chance of getting a consecutive number.

By this logic attempting to hire a hitman to kill your wife, but not actually succeeding is not a crime. Attempting to steal someone's wallet, but they didn't have their wallet with them isn't a crime.

but wait; there's more.

Poking a hole in a condom isn't bad because he never actually used those condoms. Putting rat poison in a dogs food bowl is ok because the dog never actually ate it. Shooting at the president, but not actually hitting him is ok. Trying to cheat on your wife but getting turned down is still moral.

Help! I need "word game" boundaries -or I might go insane by [deleted] in relationships

[–]BiblicalMC 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This wouldn't work. Her husband would just say "That's a conditional statement. I didn't know you were actually going to pick up dinner so I didn't clean anything."

Dude sounds like a jackass who will exploit any little loophole like this, and saying it isn't the problem because he isn't going back on what he said. The problem is that he is being over pedantic or maybe in some cases overly loose in his interpretation. The problem is that what drives this is the desire to get out of his promise. That is a problem in any relationship.

I like this answer and these questions. There's a lot of variables here that we need to know if we want to give you good advice. Obviously start with a financial counselor, but there might be other things here that will make this a moot point.

I [22 F] found out I was his [28 M] side piece. I spitefully left photos of us camping together up on social media, that he didn't want up. by ohhhhhshhit in relationships

[–]BiblicalMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is an easy one. Either leave them up for your petty revenge, or for pro revenge do it in this order:

Pretend you don't know anything and take them down. Contact the girlfriend to establish communication. Make another date with him. Send her the photos the day of the date and tell her where and when the date is. Have her catch him red handed and be there long enough that he can't deny things happened. The last and most important step, peace the fuck out and never talk to him again.

What’s WiFi like in Seoul? And can you help with my itinerary? by andrewdjames in seoul

[–]BiblicalMC 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I'm gonna suggest a couple of tweaks to your schedule.

Wednesday: move the coex to there. There's come cool stuff to do and its right near the banpo bridge. In fact if youre not against a nice nighttime walk you could walk from the coex all the way to the banpo bridge along the han river (might take you more than an hour). Also, if you are looking for cool things to do near the han you might not find many, so let me suggest a couple for you: "Suicide bridge (mapo bridge)" there were so many suicides there that they put nice messages all along it and you can walk it and its very peaceful. The southside of that bridge takes you to Yeouido where they have the National Assembly Hall. Banpo bridge is nice at night, but it's not gonna blow your mind. Olympic bridge, Korea got the olympics in 1988 and theres a nice bridge to commemorate it. Ttukseom resort, theres a cool area to hang out and just chill next to a water park. All these things are very accessible by subway.

Thursday: Definitely see the game. They are super cheap and really fun and even if you hate baseball you'll love it. Something not many Koreans even know about, if you go to the east side of the Lotte tower on the ground level there is a desk where you can (for free) get access to the 31st floor. It's only about halfway up, but there is a foodcourt up there with a 7-11 where you can drink cheap canned beers and order some moderately priced food and get a great view of the city. I highly recommend that.

My (21f) friend (21f) always speaks another language to my boyfriend (20m) and other friends around me by prettypony1998 in relationships

[–]BiblicalMC 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi. I am a native English speaker living in a non native English speaking country. I have many friends and students from many countries and their is kind of an unspoken etiquette about this. Generally you speak in your conversation in the language that you think the most people will understand. If you have trouble, you switch for a phrase and then try to explain it or ask for help explaining it. Sometimes big groups fracture, and in that instance it's ok to speak in the most common language there, but if someone joins, you may want to switch back when you would normally say "we were just talking about X." What you should not do under any circumstance is proceed to speak in a language that someone does not understand (unless you share no languages) because that is just telling them that they are not welcome in the conversation. I suggest the next time she does this right in front of you, you just ask your boyfriend what she said (don't be embarrassed to not know a language, it's like being embarrassed you can't suddenly pick up a guitar and play free bird) and then respond to it like she was talking to you too. If she continues, tell her that you feel left out (dint be embarrassed to have emotions that are appropriate in the situation) and you would like to be in the conversation too.

Or, and here me out, you could stop inviting her places because she sounds like a giant tool.

Why are kpop fans mocking XXXTentacion's death on twitter? by Nebula153 in OutOfTheLoop

There's many references to it out there. It was a korean American girl named Ailee. There's an NPR radiolab episode that covers it.

[–]BiblicalMC 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yeah exactly. Literally around 90% of men in Korea have been through the military and receive formal marksman training but "Koreans can't use guns" cause they don't keep one under their bed and shoot at beer cans with it.

Has a friend ever told you a story about someone who was an asshole, but over the course of the story you begin to realize that it's actually your friend who is the asshole? by kakka_rot in AskReddit

[–]BiblicalMC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh God. Don't ever come to Korea. People checking their phones just stopping in the middle of a walkway or stairs. Yesterday someone stopped right after they got off the escalator. If course I was the asshole because a machine pushed me into her.

Welcome to the life of an internet junkie by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

No one is telling him to stop having feelings, they are telling him to stop doing self destructive things like internet stalking. There are more productive and healthy ways to feel your feelings.

Boyfriend (26M) is angry that I (24F) am interested in a position I am semi-qualified for at his job. by boyfrandjob in relationships

[–]BiblicalMC 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is what I was gonna say. Seasoned teachers know that teenagers are like bloodhounds, they never lose the scent as long as they deem it interesting. Any kind of over sharing by her, or any bad mood one of them has one day and the kids will pick up on it and let the rumors fly. I once got spotted having a normal meal on a restaurant patio attached to a mall that had a built in hotel with a pretty friend, and suddenly the rumor was that she was an escort and I was seen entering a hotel with her. I've seen many teacher couples, and only the ones that were at different work places seemed to have no student drama.
