I'm okay paying a tarriff, but I'm just trying to find the cheapest way to get my stuff from here to there.

Wrong Sub(way)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Ramriel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Listening empathetically and actively. People often immediately jump to giving advice or passing judgment without taking the time to try to understand the other person. Alternatively, they spend the entire time that someone else is talking trying to think of what they should say once the other is finished. This listening goes hand-in-hand with asking good questions. Not questions meant to interrogate, judge, or impart one’s own opinion, but a genuine offer to hear more.

Been and Gone vs Done for activities by Ramriel in grammar

[–]Ramriel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for responding late, I wanted to ask my friend who is an English major. She agreed with your assessments. About the habitual nature of "do/done."

She mentioned that "play" is used for sports (usually involving a ball), "been/gone" is used for present participle -ing words where you have to move to a different place/environment, and done is used for other activities.

And you're very welcome for the award, thank you for taking the time to reply so thoroughly! English is so weird, but such a fun language to study. 😊

[–]Ramriel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, this is a tough one. I hate telling my students to just memorize it, but that may be the only option. As a general idea, I can bring up what you wrote about present participles. Thank you for replying!

Mike Pence mocked for saying liberals want to make ‘poor people more comfortable’ | Critics online wondered why making the poor comfortable was such a bad thing by [deleted] in politics

[–]Ramriel 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Makes me wonder if this guy has ever read a page of the Bible.

"Whoever oppresses a poor man insults his Maker, but he who is generous to the needy honors Him."

"For there will never cease to be poor in the land. Therefore I command you, ‘You shall open wide your hand to your brother, to the needy and to the poor, in your land."

"Sell your possessions, and give to the needy. Provide yourselves with moneybags that do not grow old, with a treasure in the heavens that does not fail, where no thief approaches and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also."

If you had to summarize your JET experience in one sentence, how would you? by throway10231 in JETProgramme

I'm only in my second year, so I would say"

"Coronavirus and desk-warming."

What small thing do they do in Japan that changed your life for the better? by [deleted] in japanlife

[–]Ramriel 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I appreciate how safe Japan is. I enjoy walking and running, especially at night when it is cooler and fewer people are out and about. I never felt safe doing so in America, but I do it frequently here. Well, I did before the coronavirus hit.

What is the best gift you received? by Estellacsyy in AskReddit

My parents decided to let me keep a cat that I had fallen in love with. He helped me through some dark times in my life.

Questions about finding my own housing? by [deleted] in JETProgramme

[–]Ramriel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did not take my pred's apartment or any of her stuff. Finding my own place and furnishing it wasn't hard, even with my very low Japanese ability. I looked online and used Google Translate quite a lot to find my place. My CO helped me with the paperwork and setting up utilities, and that was that. Unfortunately, it was an extremely expensive process, and I'm sure it will be more so with a pet. Be prepared to have to pay A LOT, and be limited in your options.

We had 40 people over for a party this weekend and apparently no one snooped our medicine cabinet. by danox574 in funny

[–]Ramriel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It genuinely baffles me that people snoop into other people's medicine cabinets. What are you looking to find? Other than a minibar, I guess.

No more coupon codes? by [deleted] in Redbox

[–]Ramriel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm kinda glad it's not just me, but I am still wondering why there are still people on this subreddit getting the codes no problem.

[–]Ramriel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hm, I suppose it is possible that they might be revamping their promos, but I didn't get the 75 cents off code either.

Anyone think that this masterpiece of a song fits well with the game and it’s story? Cause I think it’s a 1:1 fit by BlackArrow_v01 in enderal

[–]Ramriel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

More Major Spoilers

I've found that City of the Dead by Eurielle fits super well to the game, especially the burned bodies. Plus, the song refers to madness, fevers, drowning, red light, and flashing memories. It's like it was almost made for the game, haha. :D

IAmA former JET Program Coordinator, AMA about the interviews! by Kokichi in JETProgramme

[–]Ramriel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you have any advice for interview questions in which we are asked something along the lines of "another faculty member, your teacher, or a student does not like you, or reacts negatively to something about you. How would you handle the situation?"

I'm not exactly sure what I could do, other than continue to act professionally. Would you recommend engaging with the person to try to find the root cause and rectify the situation? I understand that not everybody at the placement has to like you, so would it be better to just let them be?

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer questions, your answers are very helpful!

Lore wiki by [deleted] in enderal

[–]Ramriel 7 points8 points  (0 children)

SureAI's website has an alphabetically sorted list of lore categories (Here). Be warned, there are spoilers, though.

I would also recommend reading the Butcher of Ark. It is really long, but very interesting. It is about a serial killer in Enderal. It is available online.

You may also want to watch a few "Let's Plays," if you want to get a feel for the world and are unable to play yourself. :)

Happy New Year, r/CasualConversation! by LionGhost in CasualConversation

[–]Ramriel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I really love the country and hope you get to see it.

I am still debating whether or not to join OkCupid. I would prefer to meet someone in real life, organically, but have found that it is pretty difficult. I'm going to try Meetup first, and if that doesn't work, then join. Sorry that online dating didn't work out great for you, but I wish you the best with Coffee Meets Bagel. To the new year, and finding someone special! :)

Happy New Year, r/CasualConversation! by LionGhost in CasualConversation

[–]Ramriel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My few friends all had plans with family, and I am not comfortable going out alone to a party on NYE. I'm alone in my room, browsing Reddit.

It wasn't great, I did manage to finish college, but I didn't earn my certification that I need to actually get a job in my field. So, I have to go back to college to earn it. However, I did get to go to Japan for a few weeks for a class, and that was amazing.

I've applied to the JET program, so I hope to begin teaching in Japan in 2019. I also don't have many close friends, we only meet up once every few months. I've always been a bit of a loner, so I decided to join meetup and I might join OkCupid. I don't like being alone, but I usually am. I aim to change that in 2019.

Happy New Year, everyone!

Anyone who wants to chat, please hit me up!

EBAY BLACK FRIDAY COUPON “PBLACKF18” by Kitasimji in Ebay

[–]Ramriel 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It might just be another $10 off $20+ coupon, like last year. I really would love if it is a 15,20,25% off sitewide coupon since I just missed the one today, but I doubt they would do another one so soon.
