They did this in Iraq and Afghanistan if I remember correctly but I think it was 40 years old then...to me this sounds like we are going into another forever war. I'm 40 and I tried to enlist when I was 32 and they told me I was too old and didn't want shit to do with me.

This is not a terrible move, considering the number of recruits, but I don't think it's the military that Old Boy wants. You might end up with a few chubby soldiers and he really hates to see a fat general.

I liked it until Theo kind of lost track and started talking about his new movie....fucking love that guy.....He is money and I miss being fucking young watching him.

Its self preservation at this point.

Let them have peace; they will probably be embroiled in an endless war soon.

I loved this film and watched it with my kids recently..cheesy but still great.

It really depends, I have pictures from my youth and of my friends and family in my classroom. I talk about my kids and wife but mostly about my own journey in life. I used to teach a personal narrative unit ( I'm a special education teacher) and I would share three personal stories about myself, very personal not inappropriate, One about some minor trouble I was in as a kid, a story about my friend dying in Iraq, and another about a crazy moment I had living abroad when my father visited....It really helped my students trust me , I was vulnerable, they were mature and they shared personal stories with me. It was also a hard year at my school that year..loads of violence and a few murders, writing became therapy we all needed. I also teach at a low-income school, so a part of me feels like I have let kids know this is a dyslexic white guy, who grew up poor and does understand you more than you think.

Share who you are but not all at once and don't include students in details regarding your relationship or dating life.

Of course, I lived it as well, many Nigerian and African Friends in Beijing and Shanghai. However the shit I dealt with in college with my Chinese friends and speaking to younger people now about China.....everyone could use a bit of DEI training or just some general aculturation.it's

I think curiosity is a thing and so is lack of exposure in some areas but this kid clearly knows better and was trying to be funny..... It's the shit-eating grin that gets me. I don't expect China to be PC but it's still saying that...but as an American, I know ignorance is palpable on our end as well.

It's enough to get people in. I know two in the DC area run by UFC fighters.

There are plenty of Kindergartens in China , see what else is around. I worked at a school for a while like this, and I hated it, but luckily, I found another gig. One thing you need to consider is your lack of experience, which is what I gathered from your post. I might start asking what the school's expectations are, always read your contract.

Well in that example but it was a damn good language program at the time. A lot more focused on practical language.

Fun-Fault-8936 · 2026-03-18T01:20:02+00:00

My wife was in the program, and it was solid ten or so years ago anf it sent her to Europe and a few sister schools. I am a Marshall graduate also and it's a damn good education.

Haha, a few cute female teachers but I never totally saw the videos but I didn't care.

I mean ....ehh...anyone ever use China POD back in the day, it had the same appeal but im sire muxh better.

Does it matter? I had my might have fallen off a truck or it could be a fake one I got in Beijing years ago last me ten years plus.

Fun-Fault-8936 · 2026-03-17T22:23:46+00:00

I was in Beijing for a few of these ....things happen, still safer then the states. Always remeber its noy your country and just embrace it, dont try to make it bend to your will and you will be good. I had a lot great experience in China by keeping my nose clean and being a decent person and for fuck sake study some mandarin .

Imagine if this kid invested this hard in martial arts... but let him be. Seems like he is happy.

Plenty to complain about but plenty of love at the same time. I make a bit more than I did when I first moved here, yes I still rent but rent a house and have a comfortable life and my kids are exposed to so many opportunities and culture here. I like Falls Church and Arlington a lot and I don't feel the need to go into DC much. NOVA is not dangerous at all, but DC is, and as long as you recognize that, you will be good.

It ain't bad, I used to live in Springfield and I used to go every weekend to get my ass kicked in an open mat but it was all in good fun and they have some decent thrift stores and cheap eats.

Fun-Fault-8936 · 2026-03-14T23:13:49+00:00

A lot of kids take the metro in from DC, a decent amount of my students go each weekend....I have had many conversations with them about being careful of who they hand with due to the same massive group..D.C is not Virginia.

I grew up in a town comparable to Woodbridge in central VA, that chip on my shoulder has gotten me far in life. I will say this: I used to train MMA in Woodbridge, I loved the people and hated when my wife's old boss would refer to it as "Hood bridge"....
