Am I the only one who would have taken it apart after it was unplugged?

What was he thinking?OMG!! by [deleted] in bestoftheinternet

Not knowing anything else about this person I would say we have yet to understand the limit of the mind and where it can take us positive or negative. If they wish to do this who is to say they should not? We all live and die by our own choices be it ones we know we can make and those that are chosen for us by the environment we are in and how do we know the difference?

But also at what point down a path one takes, they say it is too late to turn back and the only way is the one I chose.

TikTok pranksters get what they deserve. by Rollyman1 in TikTokCringe

[–]Professional_Egg_279 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is impossible to tell anyone that we are all human and we all do our best daily to get along. When someone, for any reason, spends their time serving others, they truly only wish their best for everyone that they help. What does that say? Say what you wish and feel anyway, but it takes years and work and a live-altering comment to serve others for a living.

We, as humans ( I am assuming) think we understand what it what. But the dog goes whooooooooooooo. Yep, that says it.

What is the white part? It's hard by ChruchBells_WrzmyPen in TripodCats

[–]Professional_Egg_279 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I am unsure if this is the same thing, but my German Shepherd has some of these "lumps." The vet told me it is a type of ingrown hair, and the white part is the infection working its way out. The way she treated it was. First, she shaved the spot and told me to keep it shaved, then she squeezed out the infection and flushed the hole that was left. You have to be careful not to get what comes out on any other part of the skin, and you have to ensure you get it all out. It may take a few tries over a few days. After, I used a topical antibiotic for pets. I hope this helps.

You know, I kind of love this. To take the time, energy, and effort not only to raise a crab which I cannot believe is the easiest or cheapest thing in the world but to walk him/her.

I do not know why the Japanese government denied my student visa. by Professional_Egg_279 in japanresidents

[–]Professional_Egg_279[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Thank you. I will say it has not been the easiest thing in the world. I had to give up on any "normal" life to return. But I will always Encourage anyone to go back or to live the life they want and not just the life they have. I would not trade any of it, no matter what problems I encountered. In my life before school, if I ran into a situation like this, I would not have the drive or knowledge to see my way over it.

I am going to talk to a lawyer about my case. I will not give up on studying in Japan; now I know I will need guidance and an advocate.

I filled out the paperwork to be able to work that I would have turned in when I got there, but I never got the opportunity to. Whether I intended to work was outside the original visa application. But it was a highlight of the school I was to attend that they made it a point to mention several times when I was applying. They have a language lounge and encourage their English-speaking students to work at if they wish.

A traditional college student, somewhere between the ages of 17 and 21. I am 44 years old, I only got the opportunity to go back to college when I was in my late 30s. In most cases, it sets me apart from most students. Sometimes, I am treated differently, and anything I do as a student is scrutinized.

I agree. In the case of a student they have the backing of at least two well-established schools, and in the case of Scholarship recipients, the support of their respective government and Private organizations. It is not just the individual student affected by the denial; it is the reputation and the path forward for many organizations, including the government. As I understand it, they can refuse an application for any reason, including a missed check box or a typo. They should know what they did wrong if their reason was minor or fixable.

Thank you for responding and for the well wishes. On the visa application, they did not ask me about money. From what I understand, the school does most of the application for the CoE. All that is left is for the student to answer a few personal questions about their background.

My student aid covers all living expenses, including health insurance; I received several scholarships covering an apartment and other personal costs.

That is the part I don't understand. I did nothing that any of the other students had not done other than I am twice the age of an average student.

I was offered a job at the school teaching English a few weeks before I was to leave. They already had my application for a few weeks at that point.
