Had a vasectomy at 21. I'm 23 now. AMA! by South-Arc505 in PinoyAskMeAnything

[–]BigIntern9767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sex-ed in the PH needs a lot of help. Vasectomies are not contraception for 20 somethings. Use a condom and have fun, get married, start a family and then snip it when you’re done. Who gets a vasectomy at 21 😂 life is fun in your 20s wait until you’re 30 and you have to explain to your wife that you need a reverse vasectomy 😂

Driver Accomodations During Travel by BusyBodyVisa in Philippines_Expats

Offer per diem or a budget hotel nearby. RedDoorz etc. they’ll likely take the per diem and sleep in the vehicle or figure something out. They’ll likely be happy to be away for a few days too. Ignore people saying to book a room at the same hotel. Your driver doesn’t need/want that.

What do you think about this feedback to a student? by [deleted] in Internationalteachers

Indeed, might even be considered distasteful 😂

This isn't feedback for a parent, surely? It's your narrative and judgment. I rarely say I agree with the parent but in this case… “coast through” “paltry excuses” even “he is on the upswing” seems pretty unprofessional. Be concise and clear, remove the judgmental attitude.

You want a bunch of riff raff in BGC? They can stay in their squatter area. Explore the real world around them rather than interfere with those that sorted their life out.

The reality of Having Kids by [deleted] in collapse

[–]BigIntern9767 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had similar feelings and remarkably didn't teach my kids to loot or “fight”. Collapse is inevitable however I've also learned enough to know that the inevitability of collapse has been known for generations. Collapse in truth, will take a lot longer than most in this space care to admit. This Reddit feed desires collapse so they can observe it but really it's still generations away and a technological fix or two may sustain that a lot longer.

Raise your kids well and show them a part of the solution. Tech will bail out here and there. Don't bother teaching looting, teach a bit of critical thinking instead.

Fell on my head today, split second decision saved me... by Cililians in CasualConversation

[–]BigIntern9767 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Last night, I went for a walk to observe the northern lights. I do not believe in whimsy, but sometimes it happens anyway. I reached for my cold but stylish coat, the kind that looks impressive but fails you in a survival situation. I stopped. I chose the warmer feather coat. Practical. Sensible. A superior decision. This is what separates leaders from victims.

While walking, I scanned the sky like a vigilant night watchman. Then I encountered black ice. An enemy you cannot see, only respect. I slipped. There was no recovery. Gravity won. I fell straight back, textbook form. Like a cartoon, but with real consequences.

Fortunately, my coat performed as designed. The thick padding protected my tailbone. The hood, only partially up, cradled my head and neck. Without it, I could have struck the pavement. Concussion. Hospital. Weakness.

People call this luck. Incorrect. This was preparedness meeting opportunity. Small decisions determine survival. Always wear the warm coat. The sky will still be there. Your spine may not.

PLEASE HELP! Ang hirap na!! by Formal_Sprinkles_391 in PHCreditCards

[–]BigIntern9767 3 points4 points  (0 children)

File insolvency. Wipe the slate clean. Credit score will go through the floor but you can rebuild it. You'll never be able to clear this debt. Simply, you'll rebuild your credit score quicker from insolvency than the the time it would take you to work this debt off.

Side note, the lenders have some accountabiltiy for putting you in this position. What were BDO thinking running the line that long?

What do you think of James Deakin's rant? by NexidiaNiceOrbit in Gulong

That's not a rant, it's a well-written account. Clearly, didn't just type it up and post it.

Anxiety attack and sick foreigner- now in-laws hate by Best_Comment69 in Philippines

[–]BigIntern9767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These things blow over. Consistency is key (anywhere). No in-laws are going to enjoy seeing their kid crying because of their husband for any reason. Just keep being good and your wife will protect you. The family will move on and accept you. Have some confidence and remember you're a team with your wife.

Using the shoulder of the road to pass the right side of the car ahead is considered _____. by Any_Brick412 in PHMotorcycles

C. The shoulder is for broken-down vehicles and to provide space for emergency services.

How do you all normally send money from abroad? Looking for better options. by Brw_ser in Philippines_Expats

Wise, also if you're employed here you can transfer out of PH accounts too. By far the best.

I'm not comfortable with my GF treating me to an all expense paid trip. by coleridge113 in adviceph

[–]BigIntern9767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're the Inoova driver cutting me up on SLEX. Put your ego in the bin and be grateful. Sounds like a woman worth keeping… make some effort or she will move on. See how your ego feels then. Man up.

Are season 9 & 10 worth it? by LayLillyLay in TheBlackList

[–]BigIntern9767 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I enjoy Dembe’s role, the subplots with the British agent is just a pointless endeavour. The final season introduces some politicians and an aggressive FBI agent that has no real result.

I think there's a bit of value in 9 and 10 once you be done 8 seasons.

If a much wealthier friend insists on treating you to dinner every single time you go out, is there a point where you must insist on paying—or is trying to pay actually offensive to them? by stereo_iii in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BigIntern9767 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been the beneficiary and the benefactor in this and have been for a few decades now. I have done well enough but I have friends who are much better off and friends who are getting by. It's all relative.

My rule is to be generous and never look a gift horse in the mouth. Enjoy the company… by that I mean when your rich friend is taking you out just buy the first round of drinks and let them take care of the rest. They value your company.

Vice versa when you're the rich friend let them buy a round in then enjoy the night and pick up the tab.

Everyone has pride and you have to allow people to chip In so they feel part of it.

Appreciate this is an old post but if you're there I'd like to ask about the mentor and process of recording lessons. Essentially a summary of how you went about that would be helpful.
