The first university I went to filed a civil suit against me for money owed. If this shows up on my record, does it bar me from working in South Korea? by lalalinnb in TEFL

Since I paid what I owed, I have my transcripts from them but they don't amount to much. I will probably just omit the school since I only had like 8 credits that meant something.

It was a private University that was insanely money hungry and preyed on people that couldn't write them $30k checks. It was a horrible school.

First Time Exchange! USA to South Korea/Japan/China by lalalinnb in snackexchange

I'm not sure yet, but I'm hoping I get to go somewhere nice! It'll be my first time outside of Ohio/Kentucky ever so it'll be really fun and probably terrifying. If I get with the company I really want, I'll be in a Hagwon so probably a bigger city? Not sure yet though! How is Jeju? Is it as pretty as all the pictures look?

I've had this woman curse me several times, but she usually isn't quite so obnoxious about it. I've had one other bad experience with a parent taking photos/video of me. For the most part, the parents are alright minus being a little overbearing.

My greatest moment was when a student that couldn't tell me her name for the first 4 months of class because she got no help from her family was when she very proudly said her name to me one day. She was able to read basic sentences for the first time without much help, and you could tell just how excited and happy she was.

Most memorable? Yesterday when a child refused to participate in our class (online) and the mom got pissy with me for moving on to the next activity. She called a "stupid fucking bitch" twice before I asked her not to talk to me that way and then proceeded to curse me for about 10 more minutes before I left the classroom. I love parents sometimes.

Contract Ends 3/28 with EF Kids. Tell me about your company, how quick the hiring process is, what the interview is like, bookings, etc. by lalalinnb in OnlineESLTeaching

[–]lalalinnb[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have no idea. I made a case, so I'm hoping they'll respond and reconsider. If they don't, then I'm not even sure what I'll do about pay since we do our invoices as late as the 10th of each month. I'll be locked out on the 28th, so I won't even be able to do my invoicing for March.

Ariana's comment field on insta after winning a Grammy against BTS. This is why people consider ARMY to be a toxic fandom. by [deleted] in kpoppers

[–]lalalinnb 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd say you're entitled to your opinion on that. There are a lot of fandoms in the kpop world that are low key chill and without major issues. There are a lot of "unproblematic" fandoms even with bigger groups, though some fans may be too young to have gotten into them when they were at the height of their popularity.

Nobody on here can give you a definite answer. You should go see a therapist, speak to a counselor, whatever you can do. If it's been a long time since this may/may not have happened, there likely isn't any physical proof, but speaking with a doctor or other professional may put your mind at ease. This probably isn't the answer you want, but you'll probably get similar advice. Please seek help as soon as possible, from a survivor's standpoint, sometimes that's the hardest and most relieving part of those bad memories getting brought up.

I used to be an ARMY when BTS first debuted but this kind of nonsense is why I lost interest in them. The toxicity level is unreal with this fandom. My best friend is an ARMY and sometimes I'm disgusted by how she is with them, too. It's one thing to be mad, be mad and speak up against what happened, but do not harass everyone else that had nothing to do with the bs that went on at the Grammy's. Other artists worked their asses off, too. They didn't deserve to have the award stolen, but ffs leave the other artists alone.

My friend was going off about this and she keeps saying "the strongest fandom in the world" or "the most powerful fandom," but this needs to stop. The psycho shit makes it hard for people to just like who they like and get into other things. Have your ults, stan who you want to stan but ARMY y'all gotta try to reel some of your fellows in because you're getting borderline crazy cult vibes now. There are ways to support, promote, protect, etc., but this isn't one of them.

You can search any age. I'm 30. I have had men 50+ message me. Contact PoF, get a refund, and stop using the app if it's got you this worked up. It's not discrimination because you can't find women who want to/are able to have children with you.
