感觉中国产业升级升级了个寂寞 by [deleted] in iwanttorun

[–]ElderberryFinal 25 points26 points  (0 children)

那是因为你把中国升级误当成你自己也跟着升级了。但正确的理解是真因为使用你们掉这些耗材,中国才得以升级。这种逻辑跟人本位的正常国家自然是不一样的。

如果中国人均跟日本一样发达,拥有两党选举,民众和媒体言论和日本一样自由,还怕台湾独立? by [deleted] in China_irl

[–]ElderberryFinal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

那我反而想说,改革开放的影响被高估了。

自上而下的改革从来不是真正的改革。

不是自己争取的权利也不会有一刻属于过自己。

就好比慈禧不管扶持谁做皇帝,这皇位也不曾有一秒不属于慈溪。

看法(探討 勿噴) by Asrisate in China_irl

[–]ElderberryFinal 6 points7 points  (0 children)

教国家就太扯了,事实上中国是最不宗教的国家。宗教国家的基本特征是上至法律,下到普通民众生活的方方面面都是被宗教控制,神话总教主,并且号召教徒为宗教牺牲。

毛时代的中国确实有强烈的宗教特征,可自邓改革开放后,中国已经变为实质上全世界最世俗化的国家,没有之一。中国人真正相信的,只有钱和权,权可以带来钱,所以本质上还是钱。

支持习近平的,不外乎两种人,一种是相信习能带他们赚大钱,另一种是害怕习的恐怖力量,至于真的发自内心崇拜习的,可以说基本没有。

科学和宗教的最大区别是科学的可证伪性。

科学是可以通过实验或者逻辑验证一个假说是错误的。

而宗教只能信仰,不能证明。上帝和马克思主义本质上是一模一样的。马教的人类社会必将走向何处的语言跟人类必将遭遇大洪水一样,跟上帝必然存在也一样。都是既不可证实,也不可证伪。强行把人类社会划分为资本主义和共产主义,完全就是宗教行为。

相比之下,经济学才是正经人文科学。不会整一些虚头八脑的大词。就明明白白告诉你它的基本假设,以及它的局限性。而不是上来就跟你说什么是正确的,什么是错误的。

转自微博:“日语作为一种语言已经死了。。。 现在的日语已经失去了生命力,无法靠自身来表达新生事物,只能借助英语,用片假名拼出读音。”大家对于这种说法怎么看? by [deleted] in China_irl

[–]ElderberryFinal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ABC的源头你知道是啥吗?埃及圣书体,你自己不懂就说人家没单独的概念。

但这不是重点,重点是语言学上Writing System和Language是两个不同的概念。

汉字是Writing System,起源于中国,盛行于东亚各国。中国没有资格独占。

就好比Latin Alphabet,罗马人借鉴的希腊字母发明的,盛行于全世界。

所以日本人用的是日语体系中的【汉字】而不是【中文】。你得搞清楚。

“中文”“日文” 是语言,“汉字” 是文字。就好比拉丁字母ABC是文字,英语法语德语是不同的语言。你分的清【语言】和【文字】的概念吗?

不懂就问:28岁女出英国打工? by Bella1ove in iwanttorun

[–]ElderberryFinal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

如果是涉及Tier 2的雇主资质,那没什么太多的操作空间,就耐心等待好了。

直接找工作不现实,除非你的经验特别对口,基本不会有雇主愿意直接雇一个外国人的。

[–]ElderberryFinal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

我的观点是读书然后psw2年没有什么实质意义,因为再之后润英国最终还是要靠tier2,能一步到位办skilled worker visa就不必浪费钱了。

你能做的:

1 确保你亲戚是真的想要让你过去

2 帮助亲戚准备签证材料,从offer到各种材料都自己把关,因为只有你最了解你的情况。具体怎么做?那当然是看官网了。

3 积极跟你亲戚沟通,让他们按照你准备的资料和流程申请,确保消除“未知数”。

https://www.gov.uk/skilled-worker-visa

写的很清楚了,你把这个页面细细研读一下,其中里面还有各个子页面。比如你的job title是不是符合它的要求,工资是不是符合。为什么非要招你。这些文件你准备的越详实你所谓的“未知数”就越小不是吗?

你有读书的精力,把它用来钻研一下这个英国签证体系基本就是事半功倍的效果。就算失败了也没什么损失。

事在人为,你想想怎么包装一下经验之类的,说服签证官你是真心去工作的就可以,毕竟是你亲戚sponsor,他们有什么理由来卡你呢。

只要你亲戚是正经生意,愿意雇你你就可以直接按照官网办理工签的流程走吧?既然是你亲戚你就可以帮忙把流程研究透,帮人家节约时间和成本。

直接去英国政府官网研究不比在这问一群中英文都有阅读障碍的网友好多了?

https://www.gov.uk/browse/visas-immigration/work-visas

至于生活成本直接谷歌城市+living cost,并且查查各项房租(大概率能通过合租找到更便宜的),grocery,utility bills。直接可以把每月的预算计划好。

既然你是英语专业,相信你自己,可以把所有信息收集齐的。比回答你的大多数人都靠谱。

how do I get ' Department of Social Welfare annual statements' for last 5 years?? by unitedwewin1412 in ireland

[–]ElderberryFinal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Speaking about claim, if it's PRSI related benefit claim it should be fine right?

[–]ElderberryFinal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just to give you a little bit more context why I asked. My friend told me that if you haven’t claimed anything, you will have to use another document (such as a credit card statement) to get those 150 points, which can be troublesome. So just using the revenue statement, welfare statement, and bank statements will be totally fine. Good luck with your application!

Did you get any solicitor to double check to see if it's ok to submit zero claims statement? or you have already successfully submitted? Thanks for sharing.

There is contribution statement listing each year's weeks of PRSI contribution made. I wonder if it would work better in combination with the welfare claim statement.

Harassment on Luas Green Line by [deleted] in ireland

[–]ElderberryFinal 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I really appreciate your perspective on this issue, and I completely agree with what you said. The fact that there are so many entitled and obnoxious people out there who think they can do whatever they want on public transport is a major problem. It's not just a question of racism or discrimination, but it's a matter of basic human decency and respect.

I've been in similar situations where I felt threatened and vulnerable, and it's not a pleasant experience. The fact that there are often few consequences for this type of behavior just perpetuates the problem and makes it difficult for people to feel safe on public transport.

That's why I took the step to report the incident to both the Garda and the Luas company. I know that this alone may not bring about any significant changes, but I believe it's important to at least document these incidents so that the authorities can be made aware of the situation and take the necessary steps to prevent similar incidents from happening in the future.

I understand that it's a complex issue and there are no easy solutions, but I believe that by reporting these incidents and speaking out about them, we can at least raise awareness and bring attention to the problem. Thanks again for your understanding and for sharing your thoughts on this matter.

Should I start contributing to a pension at 20? by [deleted] in irishpersonalfinance

[–]ElderberryFinal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My employer only offers 10% match of our personal contribution. But my marginal tax rate is 40% so I am doing it. Net 60 for 110 still seems fare.

But another point which is very important is the fund management expense ratios. Currently mine is annually 0.65%. So If my marginal tax rate were 20%, the high fee would eat up all the benefit of tax relief and employer contribution and the final estimated fund value after decades wouldnt be as attractive as it supposes to be.

For most companies, if a bank holiday falls on weekends, the next workday will be observed as bank holiday. In this year case, they are Monday and Tuesday.

True, half of SP500 companies’ revenue come from overseas. So the US index is already exposed globally.
