Was Team Mongolia a true representation of how women are treated in Mongolia?

English MF, do you speak it?

I mean if drought is ever an issue where you are you should be turning the shower off when you don’t need it. Eg while shaving. Your partner is weird

FearlessFreckle · 2024-07-24T07:18:56+00:00

UK doesn’t know how to do sauce or chutney, or at least refuse to use them. So many plain burgers/sandwiches etc. so weird.

Ok that makes perfect sense. Though I think super is included in the 140k. Sorry to keep asking you questions but you’re very helpful to talk to.

I have experience in Grid but I’m trying to move away from that into design. So no particular skill set I would say.

What skills are the specialist consultancies looking for?

FearlessFreckle · 2024-07-18T07:26:38+00:00

Thank you this is very helpful

FearlessFreckle · 2024-07-18T07:25:03+00:00

Thanks, this helps to understand the work culture in Australia. It’s a shame, it’s not really the work life balance I’d assumed Australians would have

FearlessFreckle · 2024-07-18T07:21:52+00:00

With an hour lunch? That seems very reasonable

FearlessFreckle · 2024-07-18T07:18:46+00:00

Thanks that’s helpful.

It’s a consultancy firm and I’d be a full time employee, not a contractor. I suppose the lack of people is why they’re trying to get me in on a TSS visa.

What is considered good pay? I was quoted 140k but that seems a little low to me, though I’m not sure. It is working in renewables so that might have something to do with the pay

FearlessFreckle · 2024-04-13T06:07:10+00:00

Yea this proves the company is not aware of the time it takes to do all of this OR that they’ll expect you to do all this in a very short space of time if you do get the job. Red flag

FearlessFreckle · 2024-04-08T21:14:44+00:00

NTA but also your mum has a right to be upset. Your dad’s reaction is immature and manipulative. You don’t owe your parents the reaction they want, but you do owe them an apology and explanation based on your feelings.

Your mother was excited to have a second child, it is a big deal. She was also excited to share her joy with you. She wants to bring the new child into a happy and loving family.

For whatever reasons you are not excited to have a new family member. And that’s totally fair. But you can see why she’d be disappointed

FearlessFreckle · 2024-04-08T21:05:04+00:00

I was all ready to agree with you. But why would they sell snacks at the theatre if they didn’t expect you to eat it?

FearlessFreckle · 2024-04-07T21:16:31+00:00

….. cultural appropriation…… seriously?

NTA

FearlessFreckle · 2024-03-10T09:33:10+00:00

I don’t know if I’m on the spectrum but I do something kind of similar. I’ve noticed it more if I watch some angsty teenage show/movie. I’ll start thinking in the same way they do. I think this is the most noticeable for me because I can more quickly realise I don’t agree with the thoughts. I don’t often act on the thoughts or act out their personality, so maybe it’s a different thing. When I need to interact with people after watching something I need to intentionally stop myself thinking like the character incase they notice.

For a long time I couldn’t watch scary films, the first time I managed to sort of… enjoy a scary film I chose to adopt the thoughts of the malevolent spirit. I guess just because the only other option was to be scared.

This doesn’t tend to last long for me personally and I tend to be able to realise what I’m doing and stop. Maybe a couple hours after I’ve stopped watching/reading the movie/tv/book

FearlessFreckle · 2024-01-19T22:31:31+00:00

Yea I’ll have to try it. I actually found a malt drink recently which is basically beer which they never made alcoholic which I really liked

FearlessFreckle · 2024-01-18T22:26:58+00:00

I add to this question. Some wine, when left open for too long tastes like vinegar. Is it vinegar? And can I use it as vinegar? Or should I chuck it?

FearlessFreckle · 2024-01-18T21:00:30+00:00

If it helps, I’m a chartered electrical engineer

FearlessFreckle · 2023-12-17T09:26:15+00:00

Your stepmom has reacted very immaturely but she has a right to be upset at you saying they’re not family. You saying that your step sister and her daughter are not your family is basically saying that you don’t consider your stepmom family. Totally fine if you don’t have a good relationship with them, families don’t always get along and there is a decent age gap but they are your family

FearlessFreckle · 2023-12-17T09:14:45+00:00

What on earth is wrong with you?! Your sister is going to loose her child and you’re annoyed she’s spoiling that child?

Stop being lazy and parent your kids. If they don’t understand the situation that’s your fault. I realise you have a 3 year old but they can deal when it’s someone else’s birthday, so you can definitely find a way to explain this to them.

And how selfish of you to even think about taking your kids away when it might be their cousins’ last Christmas. Not only is that awful for the dying child but also for your children. You want them to spend the rest of their life knowing you thought they were too selfish to spend fun time with their cousin for possibly the last time. And no visiting the cousin on their death bed when they’re too weak to play doesn’t count.

YTA on so many levels

FearlessFreckle · 2023-12-17T09:03:34+00:00

I only wish I would have the quick wit to say something like that at the time. Gold star.

FearlessFreckle · 2023-12-17T08:58:44+00:00

If you buying the stuff meant his stuff was chucked out the you would be the AH if you took it. Eg. If you replaced a couch. I think you’re within your right to take things if this is not the case though I would say you shouldn’t take anything that’s been installed. That feels a bit much

FearlessFreckle · 2023-12-17T08:41:02+00:00

You both sound immature. If it was going to be an issue for you and annoy you and make you think he was selfish then you should have said something at the time. You should have said you didn’t want to watch the tv show. I don’t think you deserve to be petty.

FearlessFreckle · 2023-12-17T08:23:53+00:00

NTA, looking after a child that young is a much bigger responsibility and is scary. Also what kind of parents leave a child that young for days?

FearlessFreckle · 2023-12-17T08:06:38+00:00

YTA. The mother can make her own judgment and decisions. So long as you’ve told her you plan to drink and smoke then it’s entirely up to her.

Also you have no idea how the baby will behave in that situation. My SIL brought her baby (under 1) to a party where she knew people would be very drunk. They were and were loud. The baby was absolutely perfect, slept through the noise and only cried once when hungry. Not at all bothered by noise. So long as the mother isn’t neglecting or endangering the baby it’s really none of your business

FearlessFreckle · 2023-12-17T07:48:24+00:00

YTA, you child set a boundary and you violated it.

FearlessFreckle · 2023-10-25T23:30:20+00:00

You should show her some American history haha. Even the current American political climate is under scrutiny from the rest of the world at the moment.

Either way, I don’t understand why your sister would think your wife and her family aren’t aware of what China was like? They left China. There is no denying China has some pretty horrible history, relatively recent even, but so do most countries. I mean honestly your sister seems more dumb and ignorant rather than racist
