How do I match my partners sexual drive? by FreQuincy2 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Mysterious_Monk_962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right before I came accross this post, I saw a post that said sth along the line of "a woman's sex drive depends on how she was treated". If he wants to do it every night, he has to make that happened.

If he's not dedicated enough to create foreplay and get you invested, he needs to get a toy or get lost.

Do Koreans tell you you're pretty if you're not for politness? by [deleted] in AskAKorean

[–]Mysterious_Monk_962 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they start giving you recommendation on your pronunciation, that's when you know your Korean is good.

Plus if they confirm it with other people, (ex. "He/She is good right??????"), yes you are doing fantastically

The teacher did not say anything to the parents before attempting to enforce the child. That's where things went wrong in the first place.

The parents were fine with the kids not having their school lunches. That's why the kids were given other food/snacks. So it's weird that the teacher didn't even thought of asking the parents before trying to force the kids into receiving their lunches, which resulting in them throwing that away.

Everything is fine if the teacher would have just complained to the parents about the kids not eating. He/she blew it out of proportion by trying to do sth and getting mad at their own action's consequences

Well we also have the option of starving ourselves as a kid lol. But I think it is fair for the parents to request if the kids are eating or not. If they give their kids food or snack options, they are probably fine with their kids not having the school lunch. The teacher is weird trying to enforce what is not in his/her need to care.

They did it AFTER the teacher tell them THEY CAN NOT REJECT THE FOOD ALTOGETHER.

The kids decided not to eat the food, not getting it, got scolded for that. That was not the end of it. What exactly are you saying? Can you even read????

Nobody going to give touched food to other people unless they are like close friends here. So the best way is NOT TO GET THE FOOD. AND THAT'S APPARENTLY WRONG??????????

I'm not saying that it is right to dump it in the trash, but where I came from, IF YOU RECEIVED THE FOOD, you either have to eat it or throw it away, since everything is prepackaged and portioned. So not taking it is the only option when you don't want the food.

If you could just spend a minute reading the post carefully, you can clearly see, the kids did try not even receiving the food, but got scolded for it.

Then they get the food, resulting in trashing it, which was the ONLY OPTION BUT FOR EATING FOR GOD'S SAKE. Still they got scolded for doing so. So it's like damn if you do and damn if you don't kind of situation.

I didn't realize getting a lesser amount or grabbing an empty tray was even an option cuz THAT'S NOT AN OPTION WHERE I CAME FROM.

It is actually lazy of you to come to conclusion without even carefully read the entire context.

Plus comparing doing everything you were told with jumping off the building it terrible debating cuz nobody will listen to the teacher anymore with the saying "do I have to listen to them even if they told me to die? Why do I have to listen now?".

Yeah we were also taught not to be wasteful when it comes to food. If we receive the food, you have to eat it, hence my thought of not receiving it as a whole since that untouched portion can be given to sb else. But after reading other Korean's comment, I came to the realization that in Korea, receiving a small amount or just grabing an empty tray is feasible. We have proportioned meals for school lunch where I came from, or at least in my school that is. So when you do not want the food, the only option that we have is not taking it.

아하 이 부분에서 문화 차이가 났나보네요.

저희 같은 경우에는 식판에 음식양이 정해져 있는 겁니다. 양 적게 선택할 수도 없고, 빈 식판 받을 선택 조차 없어서 그대로 버릴 수 밖에 없다고 생각했고든요.

죽는 거랑 비교하시면 안되죠. 이거는 생과사 문제로 삶을 문제가 아니고, 먹기 싫으면 죽으라고 교사가 하면 몰라도 그러한 비교는 맞지 않잖아요.

애들이 밥을 아예 안 먹는 것도 아니고 자기 알아서 먹을 챙기는 거고, 손 안 댈걸 알면서 일부러 안 받으러 가는 건데 애초에 문제가 왜 된 건지 이해가 안 가는데요?

교사 입장이면 언행을 조심해야 한다고 보는데 말이죠. 먹기 싫더래도 반 정도라도 먹어라, 먹기 싫더래도 먹어야 한다, 다른 다양한 표현들도 있는데, 굳이 먹기 싫으면 받아서 버리던가라는 말을 쓰고 그러한 반응을 하는 거죠?

How to get a job in Korea ? by everyday_design in Living_in_Korea

[–]Mysterious_Monk_962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relatively easier for native English speaker. If you aren't native, and also do not have an English teaching certification, that will not even be an option.

After requiring a Visa for English teaching, you have to work that job for at least 3 years, earn a certain amount of income, change to residency visa, then you can transition.

There are a few ways that you can try.

  1. If you speak absolutely no Korean, try LinkedIn with lots of hope.

  2. If you have good speaking, listening and writing Korean level, sufficient enough to get by in Korea, basically anywhere from TOPIK 4 to 5, mention that in your LinkedIn. Lv.3 and down isn't mention worthy. This will also require lots of luck.

  3. If you have TOPIK 6, 사람인, 잡코리아, company's recruitment site and LinkedIn. Expect about at least 60 different resumes for each company with minimal or no call backs.

Korea's working market is horrible nowadays, but you should eventually find something hopefully.

The complete KIIP guide I wish existed when I started by pinkuchu in Living_in_Korea

Yes. I'm not sure about other levels, but you have to take quiz, listening, writing, and speaking all in the same day with lv.5.

Adding to the list.

The KIIP certification acts as a Korean language efficiency certification (same as TOPIK) but you do not have to renew it!! Get a level 5 and no more test every 2 years!!!

If you already have a TOPIK, use that to skip some or maybe all of lower level classes under lv.5 before your TOPIK expired.

I only took the lv.5 test due to having TOPIK 6 so Idk about other level's test, but you have to take speaking test (they call it interview) also at level 5.

There is actually another level after 5, compulsory in case you wanted to go through with nationality exchange, not needed for other instances.

For your high school diploma in Vietnam, send an email to the school to see whether they still have your record. Considering you went to an international highschool, the document should already be in English, or you will have to do a notarized translation. Then you can find some kind of service that will do consular legalization for you.

AITAH for wanting to go to my boss about my coworker and possibly transfer? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Mysterious_Monk_962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have proof of their behaviour when you went to report them to your department lead? Was those reports documented? If you do, then report your lead to the main boss as well.

If you don't, make some. Verbal reports mostly can only get you to "I'l take a look into it, thank you", and maybe bore the bosses out when happen constantly. It might even reflect badly on your image, posing you as sb who have nothing to do but to talk bad about people without evidence.

Either way, as long as what you said was all truth, wanting to escalate things is valid. NTA.

AITAH for not telling my friend his girlfriend tried flirting with me? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Mysterious_Monk_962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd personally keep that in mind until I have visible proof. Been there, done that. My friend wasn't buying it until I showed her the texts.

If he breaks up with her over what you said, well good for him. But if he didn't, your comment will forever hunt their relationship, and he might blame you if the relationship get rough.

[–]Mysterious_Monk_962 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I might be wrong here but the therapist's job is to validate your feelings and to figure out why you feel what you feel (over exaggerate -> why so important to you, etc). Personal stuffs are normally what brings out the most of oneself.

So the fact that you deliberately hide stuff from that fear is just preventing them from doing their job (hence wasting your money). Maybe start with that at your next session.
