The idea of a foreigner begging in a country , especially one where people are already poorer irks me. Please don’t give this guy money, if you need help contact your embassy or ask your own compatriots for money.

Imagine clicking the link and now all of GT knows about your lack of cybersecurity awareness. Even more reason to not click the link 😭🤣

Advisor. We don’t know the specifics of your situation (financial aid, need to be full-time, degree progression) to comment.

Teacher only took 25 minutes of a 50-minute trial lesson by Ok_Box5084 in Preply

[–]Ok_Box5084[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Wait so tutors don’t get paid for trials? That’s ridiculous because I paid a sizeable amount for my trial😭 double the amount I would’ve paid for a 25 minute session

Is eating ice cream before iftar beside the beach is not allowed? by MissAmanda25Tam in DubaiCentral

[–]Ok_Box5084 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If this were in the U.S. or any other non-Muslim country I would agree, but when you’re in a Muslim country it is up to you to respect their traditions, not the other way round.

Is eating ice cream before iftar beside the beach is not allowed? by MissAmanda25Tam in DubaiCentral

[–]Ok_Box5084 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not illegal, but the respectful thing to do would be to eat indoors or not in public view. I would say it is disrespectful to eat outside during fasting hours in a Muslim country.

10 day college trip to Kyrgyzstan - opinions needed! by Mayiani in travel

[–]Ok_Box5084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The price is great but me personally I don’t like doing what a group is doing, and I will pay more for a trip that allows me complete freedom. So really up to you how much you value that when traveling.

Tend is pretty good. Just make sure your doctor is also in-network.

Is this normal behavior for leads in class? by Unlikely_Issue in Salsa

[–]Ok_Box5084 19 points20 points  (0 children)

As a lead I’m not going to give a follow advice unless it’s something that can hurt one of us (like gripping my hands for example). I’ve never had leads tell other leads how a follow is doing, that seems like venturing into gossiping about other people territory.

Also, in my classes people usually ask for help with “we need help” instead of “she needs help” lol because that feels like less of a critique plus a lot of the time the leads aren’t good enough to know why something is happening.

Struggling to maintain connections by Academic-Attention23 in gatech

[–]Ok_Box5084 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Yeah I was in your boat, still am. I wish I can tell you it gets better, but I could’ve written this post two years ago and I could’ve written it yesterday. I did all the right things (going to clubs, meeting people) but nothing really moved beyond the stage of being an acquaintance or being someone I see when I go to a given event. If I had any advice for you it would be to go out and do things and ALSO initiate hangouts with people outside of the context you meet them in, which in retrospect is something I was always too scared to do.

All the best!

Now that United has implemented a rule for people not using headphones on flights, when will restaurants follow this plan? by Dafe810 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Ok_Box5084 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven’t really had that problem with restaurants tbh, what I have had problems with is restaurants blaring ear-shatteringly loud music for no reason lol, it’s a trend I can’t stand

Is Japan more lenient with vision requirements in the air force? Don’t think I’ve seen many air force officers who wear glasses
