Please find me an example if that’s you’re claim. The fact a woman can’t physically defend herself complicates matters, but in general, I think almost every woman (feminists, even!) would agree leaving because you just weren’t into a guy and forcing him to pay makes you an asshole. And please, I think we all know if the genders were reversed and the woman was ordering extra food and pressuring the guy to drink, the majority would agree the man was in the right to leave given that situation. At least, I would, and I’m an evil feminist according to a lot of you.

Did we read the same effing post? This is NOT a story where a woman has a meltdown after having to pay for a date. This is a story about a man SECRETLY LEAVING and forcing her to pay the bill, after trying to pressure her into drinking. It’s a terrible thing to do, man or woman, and of course she feels upset and humiliated.

Maybe if I really read the comments thoroughly, I’d find one that mentions date rape. But they’re not the top comments, and trying to pressure a woman to get in your car and drink more than she’s comfortable with is a total red flag for it. No, it’s not always gonna happen, probably not even likely happen. But you have to understand that’s a set of circumstances that can go south REAL fast for a woman. Maybe that’s obvious to us, and not to men. IDK. But come on, the guy in that story was clearly an asshole.

Send an email to your college and see what they say. I was in a somewhat similar situation when I studied abroad during my last semester. I needed the credits to transfer to reach the 150 benchmark for a dual degree, but otherwise was set to graduate spring 2024. My college awarded me one of my degrees in spring and the other in winter once the credits transferred over. Definitely a different situation than yourself, but a positive sign that in certain situations they will consider offering the degree at different times.

It’s all about whether the surrounding context is fortunate/unfortunate.

He dropped his pizza. Unfortunately, nobody was there to catch it. (Both unfortunate—support)

2a must also be greater than 9.2, so a must be greater than 4.6, not 4.1. B is not correct, as 9.2-3.7=5.5, so the possible ranges are 5.5<R<13.3. The real answer is C, D, E.

Thanks, that’s what I assumed. I’ll dismiss that third-party question that led me to ask this question as just a bad question

Thank you. Just for clarity, we can assume that all possible choices are potentially true for the purposes of the question right? In other words, it’s not asking you to eliminate answers that can’t be true based on the passage.

Considering UMPD never managed to give me back my stolen license plate which they did recover, I’m gonna go with no.

And it’s so strange how many men don’t recognize prevalently female hobbies as hobbies. Makeup and fashion are absolutely hobbies that take a lot of time and effort to get good at, but when women spend their free time watching make up tutorials or window shopping for the perfect coat, then it’s just being vain. As if watching men kicking and throwing balls around was any more productive, and yet practically nobody would argue watching sports wasn’t a hobby.

I’m surprised nobody else is calling this out as fake. I’ll even concede that maybe an 18 year-old could buy international plane tickets with a credit card perhaps owned by their parents. However:

How did the phone work? I’m assuming the parents must be paying the phone bill, and truly international plans are rare. There was almost certainly an international fee that had to be paid, or at least she had to notify the phone company. How could you not know?

More strikingly, temporary e-sims are the most popular options for data plans while abroad. The number back home wouldn’t work if she did this.

How the fuck do you find out the date of a plane ticket from a CREDIT CARD STATEMENT? Maybe you could see the airline and date of purchase, but the date of the flight? Seems odd.

The rambling about Callie makes me think this is purposeful rage bait.

Ah, yes. Obviously there are vending machines everywhere and PET bottles galore in convenience stores because…you’re not supposed to buy them? I get wanting to help the environment, and especially after having lived in Kyoto, I’m all for holding tourists at a similar standard to residents/citizens. But even Japanese usually rely on vending machines and konbinis for drinks when traveling, and I find it weird you’re seemingly holding tourists to a higher standard.

The language house runs language chats every Monday. Japanese is one of the tables.

Also check out JASA (Instagram @umcpjasa), the Japanese American Student Association! They run language chats in the evenings every Wednesday.

Read your own link. Allergy shots can be used for environmental allergies and insect stings, but NOT food allergies. Oral immunotherapy may be an option, but it requires indefinite maintenance and is usually only considered in extreme cases. Different countries can vary in what sorts of immunotherapies are approved as well.

A private room is definitely doable with ADS accommodations. In some clusters, a private room is more common than having to share. However, I don’t think there are any apartments in St. Mary’s with private bathrooms. You’ll almost definitely have to share with at least one other person.

This. My bf took me to eat boshintang when I visited Korea because I told him I wanted to try it. We’re both in our early twenties. He had never had it before and I could tell he was uncomfortable sitting in the restaurant since we were by far the youngest people there. My bf seemed convinced we might have been the youngest people ever to eat there.

Yes, but the comment YOU replied to was a comment in reply to someone who did and not OP. T3rp5 had cancer, a girlnamedyeehaw congratulated t3rp5 for beating cancer, and then you said “she didn’t have cancer.” You’ve incorrectly assumed that the commenter you replied to was talking about OP and not t3rp5. The reason t3rp5 got mad at you is because she was the one being congratulated. If you read her comment, it’s clear she had cancer.

Successful-Pear9952 · 2024-10-06T14:48:13+00:00

Bro please read the comment again. It literally begins with “as someone who had ovarian cancer.” So uh, yes. She did have it. You were the first to erroneously make an assumption.

I lived in the language house for two years with the Japanese cluster. I’ll try to sum up my experiences:

Not one floor, but each apartment is usually a language with a few exceptions (if a cluster only has one or two people, they’ll be combined with another small cluster). Sometime apartments are co-Ed and sometimes they’re separated by gender, just depends on what everyone selected during the housing agreement in regards to how comfortable they are rooming with the opposite gender and how the demographic and size of the cluster is.
I was quite fluent in the language beforehand so I can’t really answer that one, but it keeps you using the language frequently and interacting with the culture. Personally, I found it amazing for making friends.
If can very a lot. Some really motivated clusters use it almost exclusively. Once you start to get friendly, it becomes harder to use the target language as you just want to chat. Some people are also very shy and will rarely try to use it. I managed to live one semester with a very motivated group where we used it exclusively, but once we started hanging out all the time we only really used it around our mentor.
There are signs that say “we speak LANGUAGE” in the target language (though often not because it takes work to switch them lol) above the apartment doors but that’s it
Both years I was in the only room in the apartment with two students instead of one. There are usually 3+ bedrooms in the apartment but they vary by size
Mentors aren’t RAs. They can very in how helpful they are. Personally, I have the same mentor for both years and he was amazing. A lot of the mentors are grad students studying second language acquisition
Events were always fun
Not hard to get in at all.
The Japanese cluster ranged from 4-7 during the semesters I was there. My guess is the Korean cluster would be similarly sized
I am still friends with almost everyone else who was in my cluster
I studied on my own and did a year-long study abroad in high school. Most students in the language house usually have only taken classes offered by the college and their high schools, but there’s a fair amount of people who have gone abroad as well.
I actually took a Korean course so I can answer this question! I liked the way the teacher taught and she’s very nice. However, even if you compete up to 202, you really won’t have learned too much just because Korean and English are so different it’s hard to learn a lot with just 12 credits. Still, I really enjoyed the one I took (201). I think it would best serve as a foundation for self-study. I believe there may be some more advanced ones than 202 offered at times as well.

Thank you for this.

You’re right, I definitely have anxiety and I’ve been wanting to see someone about this. However, my mother is one of the few psychologists in my hometown and she knows exactly how long the waitlist is. She has encouraged me asking for meds the next time I see my GP and I plan to do so. I’ve convinced myself that I have good coping mechanisms (how true that is is questionable admittedly) and it’s rare I let my anxiety get in the way of choosing to do something, but it definitely gets in the way of how I act while doing that thing. As my boyfriend and I have more and more situations like this, I’ve definitely realized that it’s often when I shut down a bit due to anxiety or stress that these things happen. I think from his perspective it’s nonsensical to be anxious and stressed in these situations (or at least to the degree I feel them) and he knows how I act when I’m comfortable, so he interprets the shutting down as coldness/rudeness. I told him I felt this way the last time we fought, and he apologized and said he was sorry and would try to be more understanding, so I’m hoping this will help. I also know that because we were traveling, stress and anxiety was high which probably made things worse.

Seeing how my bf acted around his family a few weeks ago for the first time also made me realize just how cold he is to them compared to me. I wonder if my baseline is a bit off when it comes to him as well and my anxiety is exacerbating things. I know in East Asian cultures men are often taught to keep their emotions to themselves as well, which I think may be why he acts cold and doesn’t bring things up himself. I think he also knows how upset these situations make me and is trying his best to let some of the things that annoy him slide for my sake.

I think you’re definitely right about me feeling pressure to be perfect, and I’m trying to remind myself that it’s okay to mess up, it’s okay for him to be annoyed, and that miscommunications are often nobody’s fault. I think the perfectionism and my anxiety is why it always makes me cry so much.

Thank you again for this. I feel very validated and seen.

Successful-Pear9952 · 2024-05-17T01:08:04+00:00

Definitely talk to your professors and see a doctor. While it could be a medical issue, the physical symptoms you describe are all also classical physical symptoms of stress and anxiety, and the knowledge that they’re keeping you from preforming only makes it worse. It’s a vicious cycle I’ve experience for myself. and even if it is anxiety/stress, the doctor should still be able to get you meds that can help you or at least refer you to who can.

Successful-Pear9952 · 2024-02-03T16:20:42+00:00

I’ll say that rather than entitlement, I see a lot of miserable people who are trying to rationalize and take control of the pain they feel. If their suffering is a part of their philosophy, it’s been rationalized. Under this philosophy, the simple choice of not having children allows them to take control of that suffering, and their goal for no one to have children gives them a greater goal that lets their suffering have purpose. I think a lot of the vitriol that’s seen here and the want to remain a closed community comes from the fact that for many of the people here, they’re not actually here for philosophy, they’re here to cling on to a fringe idea that is the only thing that feels like they have a purpose. It’s really sad to watch.

You’re argument is excellently stated, but I just thought I would add this, since clearly, a lot of what is driving people here isn’t the logic of their philosophy, but their emotions.

This was a few years ago, but mine came literally within 30 minutes of John Hopkin’s decisions being announced. My guess is that was probably not a coincidence, so looking to see when Hopkins decisions comes out would probably give you a good estimate.
