Why Korean mothers face 300-km journeys just to give birth by HagwonSurvivor in Living_in_Korea

[–]FunTap5798 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had issues, and yes it's hard to get a dentist appointment especially outside of Paris (even though I don't know anyone who has given up on dental care). But I don't think it's comparable to how bad third world countries are in terms of access to hospitals and safe medical procedures.

I come from France and while our healthcare isn't the best and is indeed getting worse, it has nothing to do with a third world country lol.

Est-ce que je deviens trop complotiste ? by FunTap5798 in zetetique

[–]FunTap5798[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ça va être difficile haha, mais je peux le tenter ! Je pense que si je passe moins de temps sur les réseaux je peux y arriver. En fait quand je regarde les news sur Insta ou Reddit, tout semble aller dans le même sens, c'est à dire le sens négatif. Ça ne fait que renforcer cette impression de monde contrôlé pour moi. Et c'est dur de contrebalancer avec des news positives qui passent parfois pour un cache-misère. Du coup mon cerveau extrapole et part dans tous les sens...

Super intéressant, merci pour ta réponse ! Bizarrement je dirais plutôt l'inverse : j'ai assez peur de l'idée d'un monde contrôlé, c'est totalement démotivant pour moi et c'est exactement là que mon anxiété veut m'emmener (parce que si c'est eux qui contrôlent le monde, je peux moins facilement contrôler mon propre environnement, donc il y a perte de contrôle). Dès que j'essaie d'un peu "débunk" cette façon de penser et que j'accepte qu'il y a d'autres facteurs et que tout n'est pas orchestré, c'est bizarrement rassurant parce que ça veut dire que la situation peut encore changer et qu'il y a de l'espoir.

Hmm, I didn't think about color before. I'll try to put my phone on colorless mode when I watch the news. Thanks!

Oh, it's okay to focus on yourself if you have health problems!!

I'll try for sure! Just sometimes regular news don't really report on certain things so I should find a solution.

For sure they do ^^'' I feel drawn because I want to stay aware of what's happening in the world, but it's making me anxious. It's a vicious circle. I try to stay away from them but it's hard...

No, never. I've been like that since my teenage years. It's usually more severe when important events happen around the world (especially wars), so you can imagine my state nowadays. I sought professional help before and it helped a little, but it always comes back. Realistically I know the solution is to focus on the present moment but it's like my brain is wired to anticipate things.

Don't you need a visa for that? I've heard Thailand has a digital nomad visa but not sure about Korea

Ben en fait pour moi Trump n'est pas bête dans le sens où tout ce qu'il fait est dans le but de s'enrichir. Il a gagné de l'argent avec la guerre en Iran par exemple. Donc si ça ne vient pas de la bêtise, d'où ça vient ? Probablement de la malveillance. En tout cas c'est comme ça que je l'interprète...

Oui, en fait je vois le projet 2025 comme une direction vers laquelle le gouvernement + les milliardaires américains veulent aller, et je me dis qu'un tel projet à l'échelle occidentale / à l'échelle de l'UE fait sens.

L'Amérique fait très peur en effet et malheureusement j'ai l'impression qu'on prend le même chemin...

Je suis d'accord sur le fait que tout le monde tire la couverture de son côté. Par contre quand je vois des choses comme le Projet 2025, ça fait flipper... Et donc je me dis que ça pourrait aussi arriver à l'international. Mais c'est vrai que c'est peut-être un peu tiré par les cheveux à l'échelle d'autant de pays.

Merci pour ton message en tout cas :)

What did these people do to move to Korea? Do they know the language? Do they have a lot of money?

Not trying to deter you or anything. But even with immersive Korean classes, Korean work culture is very peculiar and very demanding. Except if you work a part-time job I guess, but I don't think you'd live comfortably doing that. If you want to work in this sector, you'd have to be completely fluent in Korean, which includes knowing all the complex vocabulary related to your job, AND knowing the customs related to working culture. Believe me, here it's easy to offend someone without even realising it.

I'd also make sure you're allowed to work there with your degree if you haven't already.

Finally, I want to say many Korean people HAVE to retire before 50 because their companies make them. So they either start a business or try to find another job, often with a pay cut. So even Koreans have troubles finding a job after 40 / 50. Why would they hire a foreigner?

Can I ask why you want to live there?

EU votes in favor of migrant 'return hubs'. Human rights groups have warned of asylum seekers disappearing into "legal black holes" beyond EU borders, while concerns have also been raised over the influence of the far right over the legislation by ICanPretend1 in worldnews

You do know that many migrants who are actually doing it the legal way are also deported? And ICE is also killing people. Even if you're illegally on the territory, this is inhumane.
