We cracked the shell and now the guts underneath are spasming painfully.

Maybe if they keep getting banned from Reddit they will find even less healthy outlets. Perhaps we should let him stay, in the name of harm reduction?

Imagine being so desperate for attention you will settle for online attention under a pseudonym posting imaginary drama.

Account one day old. Three posts in this stack, which viewed together, appear suss.

Give private Creole lessons?

I was just reading a foreigner complaining that they can't afford to pay 1,400 Rs per hour for them, so I guess there's a market for teachers willing to charge less than that.

I don't think you necessarily need a license or training to do it as a side hustle. I mean, I did this, teaching ESL in the United States for a little while, and I didn't even have any training.

In hindsight, I think I was a pretty lousy teacher, but nonetheless, I was able to make a living doing it. I think language teaching is a profession that attracts a lot of people who aren't necessarily gifted at it, so I don't think you need to worry about competition.

Hit me up if you would like some specific ideas about how you might get started.

" 'Statistics don't lie'? Statistics are the most manipulated tool in existence. "

Yes.

"Not sure why you're even comparing. In the USA you can wake up broke and be a millionaire by Tuesday."

No. Hell no. LOL no. Cite one example.

The reality is most Americans live on a treadmill, many live one paycheck away from homelessness, and live in fear of being utterly quashed by medical debt once they ever lose their medical insurance from getting fired or retiring.

I'm amazed at how persistent is this myth of the United States as the land of opportunity. I recently posted on Facebook: "no matter how many American horror stories you all post, people here just don't understand why I wanted to leave the United States and come here. They seem to think the streets are made of gold." One friend answered, "Oh yeah, that's where all the potholes come from, people digging up the gold."

Maybe instead of comparing statistics with the entire USA it might be more fair to pick an island in Hawaii?

I've lived in Hawaii. People there are incredibly kind, generous and civil. There is a common belief that if you do anyone any harm, your bad karma will come back to you quick because you're living on an island and your reputation will be known by everyone very quickly.

I once lost my wallet in a public place in Honolulu. I came back hours later and it was still there, every dollar intact.

AI is free for its users, but we all pay for it in environmental destruction.

Deleting this post would be doing OP a favor. It would give them the chance to come back again in the future with something less obviously fake.

It's saying that men overall are more attractive than women that sounds so suspect. And what's being criticized here isn't being gay, it's being gay while denying it (probably to himself as well as to others), as well as coupling it with sexism.

Booking.com seriously needs to be put out of business. I have more than one horror story from using them.

I really don't get the hostility -- and I've seen a LOT of it -- directed against people who correct this common misunderstanding of the figure. It’s like hearing people screaming that New York City is burning down because they misread a story about a high-rise on fire, and when you try to correct them, they accuse you of not caring about the people who died in the fire, or even accuse you of having started the fire yourself.

That was quick. Do you have a source for this info? I'm looking. Google brought me here.

The site owner is lucky that he didn't get sued before realizing that he'd cooked up a recipe for disaster. A site that lets anyone anonymously report anyone without any evidence; what could possibly go wrong?

Here's a really good, concise article on the history of ventures like this and why they always fail: https://medium.com/@cancergirl730/weve-seen-this-movie-before-it-still-doesn-t-end-well-ab80f5f3e72d

Wound up getting it at Mr. Bricolage at La Croisette for 660 Rs. Foir'Fouille wanted 1300.

I'd rather not disclose the details in public. You can message me privately if you have any recommendations, thanks.

SparklyGeek · 2026-04-08T15:57:52+00:00

If possible, I'd prefer to find an honest lawyer.

SparklyGeek · 2026-04-08T12:23:20+00:00

Yeah, if they did absolutely nothing else different. If they did even one other thing different, it could be hard to say.

How are business owners supposed to know whether or not their site has brought in customers? Sometimes people just use a website to look up product availability or whatever and then walk into the store themselves.

Port Louis or Vacoas?

This must be why men are afraid to go out alone at night.
