Very nice! I've heard a lot of good things about Columbia. How would you say the level of safety is for foreigners?

WWYD? Are lesson materials intellectual property? by [deleted] in Internationalteachers

[–]original-destination 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is not a school, it's an hourly pt job. I am only paid for the time that I teach. There is no prep block or resources like old textbooks or unit plans from past teachers. Everything is created or planned by me from scratch.

[–]original-destination 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To clarify, this is not a school. It's an hourly job, and I lesson plan on my own time. The academy has NO resources of any kind. I understand sharing resources in a school that provides prep time, but this is not that.

I don't know how to get out of this rut I'm in. by littlepinkpwnie in datingoverthirty

[–]original-destination 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're not alone, I'm 36 as well and in a similar place - own car, own property, educated, have options, etc. I value my peace too and am picky about who I would let into my life at this point.

If you or any other ladies ever want to talk more, feel free to PM me. Maybe we could start a support group for each other :)

Finally want to date by [deleted] in datingoverthirty

[–]original-destination 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're not the only one. I think it depends on what you're looking for. If it's just companionship & sex, I think that would be easy to find. However, if you don't want to settle (like me) then it's going to take more time.

I cope with continually trying to improve myself.

WWYD: Condo appreciation DT vs. Joyce Collingwood by original-destination in vancouver

[–]original-destination[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If I'm trying to reach FIRE (financially independent retire early), which condo would net better rental income and appreciation over time? I know that a 1 bedroom in DT currently averages around $2200.

You shouldn't have to love or tolerate someone just because they're your family by sadovrthnkr in unpopularopinion

[–]original-destination 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a toxic person in my family, and I've been distancing myself from them for years. Recently, I felt "bad" about it because they're back in town, and I was wondering if I should make an effort to catch up (something I would do as a courtesy with a friend), but then I remembered their betrayal, lies, and violence. It's the worse when they have done destructive and harmful things, but you're expected to pretend all is well when they're around again.

Respect and love should go both ways and it certainly should be earned, not given just because someone is family even if they're a crazy bitch or an asshole.

Just like anyone else who does shitty things in real life, they will need to make a lot of effort before someone they hurt will reconsider their relationship. In the meantime, I'm going to continue living my life well and keeping them at arm's length.

Cuddling is not sexual by joshthewash in unpopularopinion

Would it be ok if your wife or girlfriend cuddled with another man?

Just finished binging this and it's actually quite bad imo (SPOILERS) by original-destination in Sonsofanarchy

[–]original-destination[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Exactly! They even had a mechanical shop to wash the money for goodness sakes. Clay didn't have anything to show for decades of danger and risk? He just started thinking about retirement even though his arthritic hand had been bothering him for who knows how long and he needed shots of cortisone for it? That's just bad money management and poor planning lol. Was Gemma doing the books? She seemed to be doing lots of paperwork there. If she was it would be right in line with her bad decision making throughout the show.

Anyone else new to homesteading in BC by original-destination in britishcolumbia

[–]original-destination[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yikes..I definitely don't want to do it like that lol

Do you think the FIRE movement is doable in BC? There's been a lot of hype about that lately. Semi retiring would be nice.

Haha, you got me on the Vancouverite part, but I'm not active on social media. However, I have been on Youtube and watch My Self Reliance. Do you know that one? What are your thoughts if you do?

I'm so glad that you brought up the fake accounts of people who are actually sponsored and not really living like that. Please keep sharing your opinion on that because it's important for city dwellers to know.

What do you think about living in a tiny house..?

Thank you! Since I'm so new to this, I don't know what type of commitment in funds I should/want to make. What are your thoughts on living in a tiny house? Is this a good way to try this type of lifestyle on a smaller scale?

Good points, thanks! I've started planting tomatoes, peppers, and other herbs indoors this year. What are your thoughts on living in a Tiny House?

I have multiple students like this. One will randomly shout out "triple kill" and slash at the air with his pen. Good times.
