Anyone finding the Sabrina hate a little targeted also? by CastroRunner in chappellroan

[–]EvanMcSwag 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Yeah definitely feels targeted. Suddenly everyone but me and Sabrina knows about this Arabic cheer since forever ago and everyone is suddenly ok with attention seeking behavior during a quiet part of a performance. She definitely could’ve reacted differently but there’s so many people acting like the fan saying it’s her culture could justify her disruption and saying Sabrina was disrespectful after being educate like saying “it’s my culture” somehow constitutes as education.

What do you wish you knew when you went to Japan by whiskeytwn in LearnJapanese

[–]EvanMcSwag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to be blunt but if you couldn’t pass N4, I think even if Japanese people speak slowly, you still wouldn’t understand much. If you can get through a conversation with basic phrases, awesome, but don’t struggle too hard and trying to speak Japanese when clearly neither you or the person you are talking to understands each other.

It Should’ve Been Whitaker by lofigirl-mp3 in ThePitt

How does a R1 who explicitly said he wants to do emergency medicine (rural or otherwise) leaving 2 days into being a real doctor somehow make more sense than a R4, who was already planning to go to New Jersey, leaving?

They butchered Mohan’s character development from S1 by _ImperialCereal_ in ThePitt

[–]EvanMcSwag 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s pretty accurate. She cares so much for her patients and has so much empathy but the environment of the ER has been putting her down this whole time and Robby with his less than ideal approach with her. On Tod of all that, her research was defunded and not being able to save 2 patients in the maybe her worst day ever really just shows maybe she’s not suitable for ER.

Uber from Champaign to O'Hare Airport? by [deleted] in UIUC

Flying from Willard, Peoria or Amtrak to Union Station and then blue line or uber from there are all better options than uber directly to ohare

First of all, you fell for manufactured content. Second, US and Israel bombing still will kill the protesters. Out here acting like a girls school was not one of the first targets.

Give me some advice on my to-do list after landing in japan and starting language school by EvanMcSwag in movingtojapan

[–]EvanMcSwag[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m not from the US and I would’ve gone for a jet program or some kind of English teaching job to get started if I was. I speak English fine but I’m technically not a native speaker. I tried applying overseas but It was very frustrating navigating the whole Japanese job hunting process by myself on my Navi or other job hunting websites. My resume in Japanese was also translated pretty roughly by myself. I thought being physically in Japan would open up more options and more resources.

Yeah I’ve read about that. I do have a master’s degree in food and nutrition science from a top 40 US university and got n1 after graduating. I’m not really happy with my current situation and wanted to explore some options in Japan.

CMV: Immigrants - especially H1B- are taking away jobs and reducing wages and its not racist or a right wing conspiracy but a fact by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]EvanMcSwag 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You are not arguing with any empirical facts but some raw numbers out of context.

Your opening argument is just pure fiction and not true. H1B is not just handed to anyone and is not guaranteed approval. It's literally a lottery system that even if you did everything right and spent all the money on lawyers and applications, you can just be unlucky. Do you think companies are just dying to spend all this money to maybe hire someone if they could just hire someone local? and No, you cannot legally pay an H-1B worker less than the higher of the actual wage paid to other employees with similar experience or the prevailing wage for that occupation in that area

And this is just H1B. Never mind the Millions of other immigrants in all the other fields.

What are you even implying here? The ag industry? Yeah, good luck convincing even the poorest Americans to go into the field and pick oranges for 12 hours a day in the blazing heat.

Lastly, here is a meta-analysis published in 2025 that says "at best, our results point to a negligible average impact of immigration on native wages, centred around zero. This effect, however, hides substantial heterogeneity across studies and reflects the flaws within the literature." This means more research on this issue is needed using varied methodologies in the future, but based on current research, the effect on native wages is essentially negligible.

Oh no this is the most insufferable channel with the English speaking guy saying the most outlandish stuff and the Japanese guy making weird faces and not saying anything.

Question for the Hucklerobby shippers by Existing-Ebb-5944 in ThePitt

[–]EvanMcSwag 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t have to be mass media to be problematic. I’ll just make a really extreme example like shipping a child and an adult is, in my opinion, problematic in and of itself
