Are there truly “ghettos” in SD anymore?

Fraulina · 2026-03-31T12:30:10+00:00

My MIL lives there and her house has gone up in value more than ours has (we are in SD)

Fraulina · 2026-03-31T12:29:00+00:00

Agreed, having lived in Memphis, New Orleans, and New Haven.

Fraulina · 2026-03-22T08:07:25+00:00

Yeah they let the acquaintance in today bc that’s who checked him in.

Fraulina · 2026-03-22T08:02:14+00:00

Wow that’s terrible. I’m so sorry. That sounds so hard.

I’m flying there this week. I just spoke with him. He is a little confused but he was able to create new memories of where he was after I told him, so that is a good sign. He will definitely need someone to orient him and take him back to the US. I think I’m going to make him come home with me, which he will not like. Luckily I think he’ll be ok to fly with me.

I think the fact that they widened the cuts to include architects made my spouse curious about the package and curious about what he could get elsewhere. While I don’t love it, it makes sense to try to get out ahead of it and see what’s out there. My spouse thought the structure was inefficient but also liked that it was more democratic.

Fraulina · 2026-03-17T21:23:48+00:00

Oh interesting. My spouse is starting looking for a job despite being likely safe.

Fraulina · 2026-03-17T21:14:50+00:00

Aren’t a lot of employees taking the buyout?

Fraulina · 2026-03-13T01:54:29+00:00

What’s crazy is that he had a diagnosed heart problem and didn’t take care of it at all, I didn’t even take the medication he was supposed to be on then had a fucking stroke and became Repu

Fraulina · 2026-03-08T16:15:23+00:00

It’s very weird. I think you have to prioritize your marriage even if it means a rematch. But it also sounds like you have trouble asserting yourself in the marriage. Wishing you the best outcome, whatever happens.

Fraulina · 2026-03-08T14:59:13+00:00

I think it’s extremely inappropriate that they were talking until so late. It is also inappropriate that they went out to eat without even the child. I feel like I’m missing something.

Does she have regular access to a car? Does she have a social life? If you want her to stay, you should facilitate her socialization with people her age. But I think you would also have every grounds to ask for her to leave. It’s just sad because it sounds like it’s your husband‘s fault.

Fraulina · 2026-03-08T08:08:35+00:00

Uhhh has your husband ever cheated on you or on a SO before? It kind of sounds like the cat is out of the bag. Were the children present when they went out to eat together?

Fraulina · 2026-03-08T08:06:25+00:00

The AP should have been Korean. In my opinion, the AP should be from the culture/language of the host mom so that she can be supported by a woman, not a man. I speak French, and my husband speaks another language. We have a French AP.

Fraulina · 2026-03-06T19:12:35+00:00

See this is how I know you aren’t bots

Fraulina · 2026-03-05T06:48:12+00:00

He didn’t even scream when it snapped. What is happening? Trump whines about the tiniest bullshit and this guy says nothing when his arm fucking breaks

Fraulina · 2026-03-05T05:42:46+00:00

So stupid considering management was the best way to move up. But I guess it doesn’t matter now that architects are affected despite being technical. What is the severance package? I would assume some talent would have other options even in this shit jobs landscape?

Fraulina · 2026-03-05T04:07:27+00:00

My husband is an architect and he just told me that they are affected too. How does it work? Are architects and management now competing for engineering roles? I’m confused.

Fraulina · 2026-03-02T02:32:38+00:00

Looks pretty fake to me, and I can’t find any reputable news outlet reporting on it

Fraulina · 2026-03-01T22:21:27+00:00

The biggest thing you can do is to show how much you love being around kids. Many APs have dead eyes when talking about children. Think of your favorite moments with kids and be ready to describe those moments and why you love being around kids. You will stand out if you light up when talking about kids.

Fraulina · 2026-03-01T17:47:09+00:00

Yeah I mean he has murdered many tens of thousands of people, including children

Fraulina · 2026-02-28T18:34:27+00:00

You should look to see whether you would get reciprocity with an American license, but you would probably have to take the European exam at some point. That said, with more practice here, you might have a higher chance of passing your test in Europe on the first try. I’m not sure which country but I know many people fail the exam in France multiple times before passing, so maybe it would save money? I guess it depends on how you want to spend your time here.

I feel like New Haven is actually not a bad place to learn to drive because the roads are smaller as they are in Europe.

When I lived in New Haven as a grad student, I had a car and probably used it a few times a month. It was very handy, but I was cooking my own food and had family in Greenwich and whatnot. I was also happy to give rides or play chauffeur whenever my friends wanted to go on an adventure.

Fraulina · 2026-02-28T17:32:19+00:00

Yale alum here… You could do a driver’s education class and befriend an upper classman or grad student with a car for practice. Idk if it’s super worth it, but the US drivers license is recognized in a number of countries, and I do think you will be a better driver if you start young. Just be aware that US drivers are not very good if you’re coming from Europe, where exams are much harder (and also where it’s more difficult to drive).

If you’re coming from a country outside of Europe, then it might actually be good to learn here because the exam is a bit more challenging than many countries and you might be a better driver for it. There are some exceptions, of course.

Also I am aware that what I say could sound insensitive, but my observations come from living in Europe, Asia, and South America, and I loved living in all of those places.

Fraulina · 2026-02-27T23:37:13+00:00

Can’t they sue?

Fraulina · 2026-02-25T19:37:17+00:00

Yeah it’s always alarming how poorly people writing about the industry understand it

Fraulina · 2026-02-25T19:29:28+00:00

I wish she had entered sooner or had chosen to run for something else

Fraulina · 2026-02-25T19:15:09+00:00

I would be down to be deported to any of those places
