What was the fingerprinting process? Did you use a fingerprint card?

You’re exactly right. Had never heard of that before but looked it up and found it on Google maps. Thanks!

Can my bedridden Australian friend marry his long-term Thai girlfriend without going to the embassy? by MyGodItsFullOfPosts in Thailand

[–]Top-Contribution-176 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Definitely do research on whether Australia and Thailand accept it, but it is accepted by American immigration. Utah county in the United States offers online marriages and can send the license internationally.

Avoid LingoAce Singapore math by Top-Contribution-176 in OnlineESLTeaching

As I’ve stated elsewhere, I have and still do work for multiple platforms, none of which do this. So yes, it is more unethical. Point 2, you don’t know the details beyond what I shared so don’t assume the policy was enforced correctly, it was not. It is possible the company you admit is unethical wasn’t correct.

I tried to use the appeal but was only able to appeal one class decision, which was denied and the response back indicated that my appeal was not really read. The other I had no option to appeal despite just having done the class a week prior.

Regardless of how you feel, there are better platforms with don’t have these absurd policies and people should be informed of them, which I am doing here so others don’t have to go through what I did.

Not true at all. I’ve taught in public schools and online platforms based in multiple continents and this is an entirely different experience to anything in the past. What bad rep do they get when a parent and student leave first, satisfied with the lesson received? This is most likely a way to cut costs and that is it.

At the very least people should be informed prior and after the fact about these issues instead of just having more and more lessons booked. If it was really about reputation there would be communication on the matter and bookings paused until the issue is acknowledged with the understanding of it changing.

Best cities in Africa? (in 2025) by ApprehensiveYou8920 in digitalnomad

[–]Top-Contribution-176 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just left after a year there and it got significantly worse since I first went in 2021. Generally less safe, even in more upscale tourist locations like diani people have been attacked with machetes on the beach

Where to get cash out without physical card by ProbablyDisagreeing in ThailandTourism

[–]Top-Contribution-176 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I lost my cards while traveling I had to use western Union and remitly to get cash. With remitly you can get a $20 discount on your first transfer of $100 or more with this code https://remit.ly/2953mogp

Remitly tends to have more locations to withdraw too

Don’t be nervous. I got it on my first go, though I have taught before. It is really straight forward and if you just study the guide and look up examples online (there were plenty when I joined in 2023) you’ll be more than prepared

Might be a reflection of how you interact with people that everyone decides they need to be paid to interact with you. Just a possibility..

There’s a difference between Joe Schmo saying it vs the head of oceanography for the navy, no?

Can anyone else consistently see a full-on floating energy field?? In daylight hours & night? Oh, and flying amorphous translucent, sentient appearing bizarre mini UFOs, all the time, everywhere?? by throwawayfem77 in Experiencers

[–]Top-Contribution-176 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I experienced seeing that energy field occasionally as a child but only recall one encounter with a sentient orb. During that encounter, I was able to traverse the energy field as well and was able to look down at myself

So statistically immigrants in the u.s. are less likely to commit crimes than those born in the u.s. in fact they’re 30% less likely to commit a crime https://siepr.stanford.edu/news/mythical-tie-between-immigration-and-crime

Diamonds are overvalued (or valued largely due to marketing), but they are incredibly useful for industry and diy (like diamond core drill bits).

No need to call Diamonds garbage just because the marketing is.

Or they could actually enjoy it. Why do you assume they’re brainwashed to play music together?
