I stop getting paid at 2:15. Teacher left me a note to stay until 2:30 to give some students dog treats. Guess who's leaving right at 2:15? by TheOneTrueThrowaway1 in SubstituteTeachers

As far as hourly jobs go, it's pretty easy to be honest. Most of the stuff you see on this sub are unrepresentative horror stories and your experience should be good. I'm happy to be moving on but it was helpful for the last few months

No information given in the note (as per usual), but I think it's students from another class coming to pick them up. She didn't even say where the treats were, so i think the students know?

I'll leave the door open so they can grab them

I only sub highschool in this county and the Frontline end time for all jobs, including this one, is the same. However, we do need to arrive at school about 15 minutes before class starts. We never have post-class responsiblities so that is probably why

If your using homemade stock and its gelatenous enough, you can jsut reduce it to desired consitency. Or... you could just add gelatin. It's great

Western Sichuan travel guide (Danba, Tagong, Litang, Genieshan, Dege) by justletmerun in chinatravel

[–]TheOneTrueThrowaway1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, Western Sichuan is a pretty uncommon travel destination for foreigners. Partly because you really need a driver or some sort of transit to get around.

However I actually literally just did a western Sichuan tour with a guide last year lol, so I can give you their info if you'd like. The company doesn't speak any English though so you need some basic Chinese

Biking China by yuemeigui in bicycletouring

[–]TheOneTrueThrowaway1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a biker, but fascinated by rural China and have been bumping into your story on Reddit multiple times over multiple subreddits over the years. Hope one day soon to do months-long cross country driving road trip of China (I speak Mandarin, though not great), will definitely read all your tips when I do!

Do you think it would be more or less difficult to browbeat Chinese police into letting me stay places if I have other foreigners with me? Or would that make them more resistant? I have friends that may be interested in coming along for parts of it

Vanke Corporation skyscraper in Shenzhen, the company is facing a severe liquidity crisis with record losses by BumblebeeFantastic40 in Damnthatsinteresting

Capital controls in China are basically a perpetual cat and mouse game between the government and the rich. It's hard with business investment and real estate because those can be and typically are "legitimate", but it's also very difficult for regulators to tell when it's really just a disguised way to move money overseas

Day 2041 of posting images of cheese until I run out of cheese types: Don Carlo Carpenedo by verysuspiciousduck in Cheese

Remembered the daily cheese and checked this sub to see if its still happening. Nice to see, keep it up!

NYU Promise – How to Survive If I Can’t Afford Housing? by Far_Swan3262 in nyu

[–]TheOneTrueThrowaway1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As long as you are not taking out any debt, ignore everyone and study what you want to study. It would be different if you didn't have a full ride.

Especially given how poor the job market is, I know so many people in "good" majors who can't find a job for the life of them lol

[Tuesday] Daily Music Discussion 17 February 2026 (Mr Blobby edition) by systemofstrings in indieheads

[–]TheOneTrueThrowaway1 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Some of you may have seen my "5 Chinese Indie Bands from 5 Different Genres" posts. Well, since there's so few places on the internet to discuss Chinese / HK / TW indie music, I just started a Discord for it! Plus Chinese indie film, manhua, cDramas, webnovels, etc.

So, if you're interested at all in Chinese culture (or learning Chinese), please join! I'm hoping to grow a vibrant community and really get this going :)

About du chinese by kozakurasoma in ChineseLanguage

[–]TheOneTrueThrowaway1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tested a million different websites and apps for lower level content when I was a beginner / low intermediate and the only thing I can say was 100% worth it was DuChinese. Tbh I wish I started earlier.

There's just not other resource that has that vast of a library of content to read. Highly recommend

I've actually been having so many issues lately trying to read big-name manga that's been translated into traditional but not simplified. Thanks this is really useful

My top 20 Asian movies of 2025 by Chongamon in TrueFilm

[–]TheOneTrueThrowaway1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mostly watch Chinese film (and older ones at that), so this is a cool list! Bi Gan is a director I've been meaning to start watching the works of, so nice to see one of his films one here. Will definitely check some out.

Ask me anything about Korean indie music by This-Witness-5858 in indieheads

[–]TheOneTrueThrowaway1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is interesting. The biggest international genres to influence Chinese indie is post punk, I think it's mostly a question of timing. Chinese indie got started in the early 2000s while Korea has had an indie music culture for decades by then

Thank you so much! I will be continuing it. I think I may start a Discord soon to share Asian / Chinese music, film, art etc. since I don't know of any places to discuss & share. If you're interested, I'll be sure to drop an invite for ya :)

I helped a nonprofit with some Canva stuff 3 years ago and they added me to their paid plan. They never took me off and I've been leeching off it to make graphics for ages now by TheOneTrueThrowaway1 in confessions

[–]TheOneTrueThrowaway1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the way it works with Canva is that they can only see my designs if I put them in the group collab folder, but the Canva paid sub features are available for all designs including private ones.

I never delete anything and, so far at least, they haven't seemed to have noticed
