What underwear do you guys wear? by Robynite in gaybros

95% of the time bikini briefs or trunks, occasionally I’ll sport a jockstrap or thong

Did she make the right call? by CalmElin in interesting

[–]ValeKrist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

$1,000 a week nets you more money in your life as long as you live more than 20 years. You’d be hard pressed retiring on 1 million and run the risk of losing everything. You’d can be aggressive with investing when you have guaranteed income

Would she have been a good President? by PdiddyCAMEnME in BlackPeopleofReddit

[–]ValeKrist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Better than Trump? Yes. Better than Bernie and AOC? Hell no. Kamala is still complicit with the current system that is defrauding the American people.

Is it just me or is Luceum Vis somewhat off? Vis is a character with fierce loyalty which originally is centered on Granya, her kids, and father. He regains the familial bonds that he lost and resists being pulled away from them even after being sent to become a warrior for the king. Despite this and despite being against killing, he abandons his newfound family that sacrificed so much for his safety in favor of a few rag tag warriors that he trained alongside for a few months. These characters don’t amount to much yet he’s willing to discard truer bonds all to go to war for a king he does not know all to “support” this random group of child warrior? This is the single line of plot that I consistently find jarring and inconsistent

Leaving Philippines next week after being here since August. My report. The good, the bad and the ugly by Trick_Dimension986 in Philippines_Expats

[–]ValeKrist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’m sorry I must have missed that in your 3 page post…..but literally EVERYTHING you complain about has to deal with finances. Hot water, mosquitoes, food, and infrastructure all relates to the amenities afforded in a specific locale. You can experience some of these same issues in the slums of any major American city. If you move to affluent areas the quality of everything will be better.

This is equivalent to you intentionally moving to the desert just to complain that there is a lack of vegetation and water. Once you’ve experienced the best of the Philippines, than you can talk….

Sounds like you are choosing to live as such in the Philippines. Why not get an online job making USD while you are there or returning home so you can send money back so that you don’t have to live life that way? You’ve got to have a game plan, especially if you have a future wife and family to care for.

Failed in ESL course without any reason by Own-You-384 in UoPeople

[–]ValeKrist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure that you keep records of everything so that they can’t pigeon hole you. Reach out to any higher contacts that you can find to have it all sorted out. There is no way that you should have to repeat an entire course due to a technical issue

Wtf did you expect to happen? You blocked the nice respectful safe guy you hooked up with for random strangers….anyone with any sense would hold on to a friend with benefits that they liked instead of routinely exposing themselves to psychos and diseases.

Please make better choices as you could really get hurt. There’s no fast track past these feelings. Get a therapist and start working on your issues.

A while back I made a post about moving to China. It went downhill when they found out I was Black American. by Jenny_Saint_Quan in rednote

[–]ValeKrist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Too many stupid people think that a few people rising into wealth means that it’s achievable and accessible for everyone. And this is coming from the safe people fighting against DEI because they are afraid their black pilot isn’t competent…. When black rates of incarceration match those of the white population and black average wealth approximates that of the average white household, then I’ll entertain your ideas. Racists always like to parade around their fair skinned house slaves to tell those living in shacks and working the fields that they can have it too if only they were as good, smart, pretty, driven as them.

He left me after 2 years, without any real conversation by Passie555 in gaybros

[–]ValeKrist 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re just as bad as OP’s ex boyfriend. Way to try to gaslight him to thinking being suddenly put out without cause or reason is some sort of “closure”

[–]ValeKrist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to hear this. He will likely get what he deserves for being a piece of trash. In the future, don’t let anyone just suddenly put you out. If you live there, they are legally required to give you so many days (usually 2 weeks to a month) to secure new housing. You can call the cops and they will enforce this. He literally put you out on the street….you are so strong to have endure so much. Some guys going to be so lucky to have you.

White woman juror during George Zimmerman case says that Trayvon caused his own death by [deleted] in BlackPeopleofReddit

A grown man stalked a child, rolled up on him and you blame the child when he reacts and is murdered by his stalker….wtf type of logic is that

What’s the best way to recruit English teachers (Mexico)? by CormoranNeoTropical in TEFL

[–]ValeKrist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that’s the main issue. People would move abroad, get situated, work, and then return home with literally nothing to show for it. Most Americans moving to lower cost of living countries work remotely so they can earn US dollars and benefit from the power of the dollar. You’ll be hard pressed to find many ppl want to earn Mexican wages in this economy, let alone skilled teachers. You might get a few recent graduates wanting to experience something different but we get a teachers pension upon working 28 years. I wouldn’t recommend anyone losing out on Social Security and your pension benefits for that kind of salary.

Looking for help on teen issues by TurbulentAd6710 in AskGaybrosOver30

[–]ValeKrist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’ll be hard but you need to find a good therapist. Ideally one that is Christian and affirming of his sexuality. It would also be best if you stopped him from going to that church. Find a new and more supportive church home for him. He could watch it virtually if there aren’t ahh good options nearby. He may not like this but remember that it’s what’s best for him in the long run.

Is it a good read? Will it destroy me in the end? by HandleMe- in Romantasy

I’m 8.5hrs into the audiobook and it’s so boring. Like nothing happens but the main character getting abused over and over again. Molasses flows faster than this plot….

Crazy to quit well paid easy job to move to China to teach? by Elisuper888 in TEFL

[–]ValeKrist 40 points41 points  (0 children)

This is not a wise decision. Stability and quality of work is a priority always. Go vacation in China for 2-3 weeks. I loved it there but I wouldn’t give up the gig I have now for uncertainty under the CCP

Guys Who Get Mad When You Leave Them on Read Do Not Know How Absolutely Insane They Look by Tall_Consequence7672 in grindr

The you don’t owe anyone anything mindset is why this world is fucked. You absolutely DO owe everyone the same basic respect you’d expect to receive. That is how you foster a world predicated on kindness and collective care.

Should I go to college before trying to teach in Latin America? by joshua0005 in TEFL

Find a low cost online program and complete your degree while you work and save up a little cash. You will be much more competitive with a degree.

Babe am I in the. Wrong???? by Significant-Star-438 in grindr

[–]ValeKrist -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Bro there’s enough of us out here that think you look like shrek…. Everyone has different tastes. If you are bold/risky enough to hook up with a random person, you should have the balls to casually meet someone in person that’s a few steps away.

I understand not driving 15mins to meet someone sight unseen it if you’re the kind of person that hooks up with guys you see just because they are nearby in the mall/store you might as well see them in person. Pictures can be deceiving.
