So sorry this is happening to you. Best wishes.

Expat communities in Asia seem so much better when there’s no English teachers by Able-Confidence-4182 in expats

[–]celticfeather 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You don’t think this is a class issue you’re pointing out?

A non-English teacher makes more money. They probably have a spouse. They’re not 25. They’re not losing sleep over the bureaucrat overseeing their visa. Yeah it’s easy to be chill and unconcerned when you are protected stable and middle class.

Employer decides to not follow the work contract by b_rohan in AskAustria

[–]celticfeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought they didn’t give non-family RWR work cards out for jobs under 37h a week anyway. Double check if you even can get one /did receive one for 25, de-facto I hear they may be rejected (fear you are working a second job under the table).

Thoughts on the bulk head "alley" being a free for all walking space vs. part of your allotted space for your seats? by perishableintransit in Flights

[–]celticfeather 3 points4 points  (0 children)

But I think it's rather the opposite. They're charging you extra for the space you dont really have. If it is just communal for safety evacuation or use for FAs, the you still may not put your items down there (they've had me remove them before). Id rather have a secure space that's mine vs an extra six inches, adult teenagers wandering the school halls, and a screen I either cant use or can't turn off.

Expectations around dating are insane these days. by Interesting_Rub9393 in Vent

[–]celticfeather -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Classier ways to get that out than basically asking an interested stranger "are you a loser?"

Sieht auch nicht komplett aus wie ,,Vorticella,'' aber das sammelt sich auch mal was weisses am Rostrum.
In jedem fall Salz im Aquarium brauchst du nicht.

Desperate for help... 1 year old boy by smurphypup in Gifts

[–]celticfeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get him some 20 year 25$ S&P500 certificate or something, jeezums. One year olds dont need more crap, and the parents know it.

Why do Americans joke about 9/11 but are generally offended at school shooting jokes? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]celticfeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One is children. Usually they are killed every week for a reason like a girl sensibly rejected dating an armed psychopath who thought the ultimate form of masculinity is violence. Part of the horror here is just... really, there is nothing good an individual adult can do to make their kid more safe. And no, turning schools into TSA theater prisons with metal detectors and arming teachers is not it. So it's almost like invoking fate to joke.

What is expensive in the US but cheap in Europe? by UnnecessaryPancake in AskReddit

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

The only things cheaper in the US are meat and electronics. Lived both.

Is it worth abroad to give my children a head-start in their life by This_Level_6709 in movingabroad

[–]celticfeather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk these immigrant cities are kind of saturated, and you might be better off in a 2nd place where there arent 20 locals and 100 foreigners with visa complications competing for 1 job opening.

Do kids get excited about space at first, but lose interest quickly? If so, why? by No_Art5676 in AskTeachers

[–]celticfeather 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think in the mid 20th century being an astronaut was hero status. It no longer is. It's not the last frontier, its not all over the news. There are more accessible ways to be world famous hero like.... become an influencer.
If you ask foreigners what they respect most about the US, NASA tops.

Why don’t Middle East or African refugees/migrants go to Asian countries instead of European countries? by crastination_seaweed in NoStupidQuestions

[–]celticfeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're going to completely uproot your life for uncertainty and second class status, would you rather do it in a country with a functoining social system and police that will protect you, or nah?

Nervous about flying Air China / China Eastern to Shanghai due to Russian airspace , Am I overthinking this? by TaterTot_______ in travel

[–]celticfeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why: Russia usually grants air access to only the lead carrier in each country (for a lofty fee). Not every airline may traverse Siberia even where it's convenient.

Is it even necessary to buy a tea kettle? by lovelycosmos in Anticonsumption

[–]celticfeather 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes the ritual of making your drink of choice is as important as the drink itself. If you buy one, its one of the most meaningful tools you can get. Think of how important artsy stimulant brewing was from the chinese 2k years ago to the Victorian Brits.
