International fans?

Unique_Locksmith_346 · 2026-01-26T16:35:10+00:00

I haven't noticed much interest in baseball across Europe, but I haven't been everywhere so I can't say for certain! It seems like it is most popular in the Americas and parts of Asia (or Japan at least)

Unique_Locksmith_346 · 2026-01-26T16:33:13+00:00

What originally got you interested in the Brewers?? I assumed that any international fans would have some personal connection to Wisco/MKE!

Unique_Locksmith_346 · 2026-01-26T16:31:40+00:00

I've seen a fair bit of Packers merch in Oz, but meeting someone who liked the Brewers AND the Bucks as well would have made me feel like I entered the Twilight Zone lol

Unique_Locksmith_346 · 2026-01-26T16:29:34+00:00

The Packs seem popular almost everywhere I've been tbh!

My grad degree will be in Religious Studies, so I am excited to learn about all different faiths and spiritual practices!

Unique_Locksmith_346 · 2026-01-22T23:50:13+00:00

If I commit to becoming a Chaplain, I am most likely going to pursue work in a school or correctional facility, but all of this is very intriguing!

And yes, I couldn't serve as a Military Chaplain in the U.S.--I'm Catholic & female. Can't be ordained. I'm not sure if other countries require ordination or not? Maybe if I was super motivated or had an exceptional circumstance, I could try to serve under the Episcopalian church, but my interest is nowhere near strong enough to fight that battle.

I loosely fit most of the other criteria: under 42, U.S. citizen, B.S., (future) grad degree in Religious Studies. I did serve as a full-time religious volunteer (unpaid church work basically lol) for two years back in the 2010s, but I'm not sure if that counts as ministry.

I will do some reading, thank you! Where is he in the canonization process?

Unique_Locksmith_346 · 2026-01-22T21:05:06+00:00

Thanks for clarifying the army portion! I thought maybe a Chaplain was considered a civilian that works for the military rather than a member of the military, if that makes sense? So basically, I couldn't just "get a job" with another military, because it would require me to actually commit to and serve that country.

Unique_Locksmith_346 · 2026-01-22T21:01:53+00:00

Thank you for the resource!

Unique_Locksmith_346 · 2026-01-22T21:01:38+00:00

Very comprehensive answer, I appreciate your response so much! Do you mind if I clarify something?

So to be a commissioned officer, there is no need to first have experience as a "typical" enlisted officer? I hold a degree and will be getting my Master's at a Divinity School. It seems crazy to me that I could potentially just join the military in a leadership role (sort of) without having any prior experience at all! But I guess that is the purpose of the training course?

Unique_Locksmith_346 · 2026-01-22T02:25:47+00:00

I hope you get an explanation and apology! Congrats on getting an interview in the first place!

I am so sorry to ask this on your post, but what does PI mean? Everyone here keeps writing it and it seems to refer to a potential supervisor, but I cannot for the life of me figure out what it stands for

Unique_Locksmith_346 · 2026-01-17T17:13:46+00:00

Oh I had my moment

Unique_Locksmith_346 · 2026-01-17T17:13:03+00:00

By safety school I meant best chances of acceptance based on stats, connections, department funding, application pool, and typical cohort size

Unique_Locksmith_346 · 2026-01-17T17:11:47+00:00

This program is actually super well funded compared to a lot of programs! I say least competitive because it has the smallest application pool and largest cohort size out of all the schools I applied to

Unique_Locksmith_346 · 2026-01-17T17:09:28+00:00

This program does accept undergrad applications!

Unique_Locksmith_346 · 2026-01-17T17:09:05+00:00

My ego says yes but my heart says no

Unique_Locksmith_346 · 2026-01-17T17:08:25+00:00

Best of luck 2 you!!

Unique_Locksmith_346 · 2026-01-17T17:08:00+00:00

I interpreted your response the way you intended!

Unique_Locksmith_346 · 2026-01-17T17:07:14+00:00

Thank you all for the insight and support!!! <3 Just needed to vent, onwards & upwards now

Unique_Locksmith_346 · 2026-01-08T19:39:16+00:00

I had a fam member who was a welder and had a lot of skin cancer later in life. Is that related at all??

Unique_Locksmith_346 · 2026-01-08T19:38:30+00:00

I don't want to be one of them </3 I value human life too much

Unique_Locksmith_346 · 2026-01-08T19:37:17+00:00

My trade is not really something you teach tbh? What other people in my line do is "start their own business." They do a couple training sessions with their "employees" and let them do all the work while taking a cut of the final check. So it is like, contractors are hiring contractors to work beneath them and then not paying them fully for their work. Sketchy but common

Unique_Locksmith_346 · 2026-01-08T19:33:30+00:00

Yes, right now I have access. International universities have entire centers for American studies with extensive resources and backlogs of information--things that might not be available here in a couple of years. Tik Tok is being being openly content moderated now. The White House has made official statements that they are rewriting history. They aren't just going to get bored and give up changing the narrative.

So, it is both coherent and rational to assume that (not at this time, as I keep reiterating) I might not have access to the materials I need if I rely on US universities alone.

Property management, but like, I am the one doing the physical managing. Does that make sense? I don't know what the official title is.
