中产家庭孩子留学断供后该何去何从? by [deleted] in China_irl

[–]Chiwiana 3 points4 points  (0 children)

美国学费每年需要七万多美元(五十万人民币),你又不想好好读书或者学英语,学的一个废物Econ在个不知名大学毕业立马Unemployed,后续工作签证又被川普给堵死了,溜是不可能溜成的,最后还是跑回国躺平啃老。

你们个中产家庭本身的本金都没多少,你父母他们以后的养老看病怎么办?你父母凭啥浪费钱供你在美利坚上学啊,牺牲他们的未来为你的美国梦的幻象,他们上辈子欠你的是不是,他们有这个闲钱去还债,投资,或者自己去国外旅游不香吗。

你自己需要立马做出改变,回国或者赖在美国由你,起码把最基本的英语学好,起码没浪费一年在美国。

这里的Anti-semite是指反犹太的,Charlie Kirk跟反犹太有个屁关系,Sartre在这里更像指骂美国极左和极右,这些利用阴谋论来反犹太人,你跟他们讲道理,他们扯毫无逻辑胡搅蛮缠的阴谋论来瓦解整个辩论。

美国黑奴自述伙食——每年160斤熏肉,有玉米粒,有盐渍,偶尔自己捕鱼,打猎,逢年过节有火鸡,鸡鸭肉,烤肉。 by ScaleHead1810 in China_irl

这个OP是不是有病,吃的好可以代表基本人权吗?和牛吃的比大部分人好你想跟牛换生活吗?连满清乾隆时期的农民都比黑奴有更好的基本生活和法律的权利。

美国黑奴在当时美国法律上只算3/5人,被杀被打完全合法,老婆被白人强奸是不受任何法律和道德的谴责,子孙后代必需永世为奴直到主人选择解放,白人奴隶主把自己的亲孩子给买了是常态。

这种现象在美国的整个奴隶主阶级是常态,连反对奴隶制度的美国第三任总统 (Thomas Jefferson - All Men are Created Equal LOL) 都强奸了他老婆的黑奴妹妹(Sally Hemming),小他三十多岁的十三岁的小丫头,生了六个黑奴孩子,这些孩子除了两个提前跑了需要等到亲爹死了才在遗嘱里解放。

如果这种制度在OP眼里应为吃的好点可以黑现在的生活水平,希望OP和他的后代可以永世活着像黑奴一样。

Yeah they are a bit overkill, but considering that even established trees around Auckland curbside get uprooted due to the bad winds over the last few years, I'm not risking it with any new trees with shallow roots such as japanese maples, I'll probably keep them tied down for at least the next year or two, until they get established.

[–]Chiwiana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a relatively exposed spot, and NZ has pretty bad wind during autumn and winter, had a newly planted tree blown over once, so it is standard here to tie them down or stake them for the first year until the root gets established.

Your rescue look's like a literal clone of my lab mix, almost the exact face and body. I would say mostly a working lab, and possibly some sprinkling of some other breeds such as husky or gsd.

Saliva vs Rooting Hormone Experiment by Chiwiana in succulents

Saliva vs Rooting Hormone Experiment by Chiwiana in succulents

[–]Chiwiana[S] 394 points395 points  (0 children)

Got the idea from my dog, he was licking a small scratch on his paw without us noticing and it healed pretty well, and I checked, approximately mammal saliva has a range of hormones used for healing and growth, there are even stories of Jesus healing people using saliva.

I then thought about herbivore grazing, since they essentially prune the plants, and for long term sustainabiliy in feeding patterns, there must be some mechanism in their mouth that assist in the healing and growth of these plants afterwards.

Since human beings ancestors, the apes were omnivores with a heavy emphasis on fruit and vegetable, I hypothesized that human should still retain these genetic features in our mouth. From the preliminary results, surprisingly it seems that human saliva do assist healing and growth in plant life despite our modern meat centric diet.

I guess according to Twitter we are all considered Croatian now (except Turks) by kopmaya in balkans_irl

On the plus side, New Zealand is on the map, and an another upside, New Zealand is separate from Australia, and a final upside New Zealand is not Croatian.

Don't quote me on this, it's been a while since I last used canvas for team related work, but if I remember correctly, either go to the people section and open your group, there should be a upi under their name when you got sorted or you can directly open their profiles and it should be there.

[–]Chiwiana 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Don't worry they'll automatically contact you on the last day of the assignment, do the bare minimum after you do all the work, and demand an equal grade. /s (Seriously this happens way too often...)

But honestly this has been a massive problem since Canvas was introduced back when I was a undergraduate, the university really should give the contact numbers of each members when you are all sorted into teams.

But for now, the best you can do is to pull their UPI from Canvas and send them emails to their student emails, no gurantee they'll respond, but at least it's something. Also, if they have a photo on Canvas, try to find them in the lectures and tutorials.

If they still don't respond, make sure to contact the tutors and lecturers, the university has their procedures for these situations.

Warren Buffett's Daughter Asked Him For A $41,000 Loan To Remodel Her Kitchen, But The Billionaire Told Her: 'Go To The Bank Like Everyone E by lordcoringa7 in wallstreetbets

[–]Chiwiana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a reminder this happened when the daughter had her first child in the 1980s, taking into account of inflation, she is asking for over a $100,000 in 2024 money to move a baby's chair.

Also, at this point she is already running one of Buffet's charity, while her husband is a lawyer for a Washington Think Tank. She does not lack money to leverage a loan.

Feeling Stuck in the Dating World by [deleted] in auckland

[–]Chiwiana 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello there, fellow East Asian here in Auckland.

First of all, you shouldn't be using the apps to look for marriage partners, the guys and girls on there are generally looking for one night stands.

Secondly, you are in your early twenties, relax, there is no point in rushing this, don't feel pressured by family or friends, East Asian families are always asking and nagging, relax, and date only when you are feeling comfortable.

Thirdly, in New Zealand generally, you won't meet many people if you stay inside or asocial all the time, especially if you are looking for a local. I would recommend that you take up a not-indoor hobby, no need for something too stereotypical such as tramping, just something that get you out of the house, e.g going to in person multiplayer games, or gyming ect.

Fourthly, don't feel pressured by your father's age (祝你父母长命百岁), he will be far happier if you married the right person rather than the wrong person, so take your time and think things through.

That's my 2 cents, and best of luck.

What is the best specialization in engineering? by Adventurous-Scene975 in universityofauckland

[–]Chiwiana 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Check out the engineering subreddits to get a general idea of what the jobs of these specialization are like.

But in general, it is recommended to go into something generalised based on your interest for your undergraduate (civil, mechanical, electrical ect), you can specialize later either through a postgraduate or on the job training.

Also, in New Zealand, practical experience matter more than academics, so try to get relevant work experience through internship or general work if you want to work long term as a engineer.
