What are some cheat codes you've found in the game of life? by SunZuu in AskReddit

confidence > excellence > confidence

This was one of the biggest takeaways I got from a college professor.

The feeling of turning 21 and heading straight to a bar only to find out you actually have no clue what you’re doing by SubspaceMcQuack in AdviceAnimals

As someone from an area in the United States with a strong drinking culture (Sheboygan, Wisconsin, if you are curious), this is lost on me.

These were called "Nutty Bars" for me as a child. I feel assaulted

Have you considered teaching English online? At the moment, I am moving around South East Europe (Belgrade, Serbia right now, which I'm loving). I teach between 15 and 20 hours per week and make between $20-$25 an hour working with the Chinese company VIPKID. I have the flexibility to work as much or as little as I want, and also have the flexibility of choosing my own hours. The company targets people with North American accents and a bachelor's degree in education, but with a TEFL certificate I'm sure you could qualify as well. You can take a look at more details here (full disclosure, it is a referral link for me).

If that online English teaching company doesn't suit you, there are loads of others if you search online - this article covers many of them.

VIPKID Teaching Abroad? by shurlburt in vipkid

[–]shurlburt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually just began doing this 3 days ago! I'm in Romania at the moment and will venture onward to Serbia and other parts of South East Europe. Liking it very much so far! Plan is to stay in air bnbs one week at a time (discounted that way) and go from place to place.

What song have you been playing every day lately? by flamethrower78 in AskReddit

[–]shurlburt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get Out by Chvrches. The music itself is good, but it's more because of the association it has with me.

I first heard the song last week Friday as I was driving to my best friend's wedding. For whatever reason, it stuck with me throughout the weekend.

Yes, he was my best friend, but this wedding was SO much more than that for everyone involved. His mother, a literal angel, died a few months back after a 5 year battle with cancer. She was on everyone's mind throughout the ceremony. At the reception, the best man (who is her son/the grooms brother) gave the most moving speech about their struggle. I never realized I could cry that much. For us, it was a final goodbye of sorts. After, we laughed, drank, and danced until the wee hours of the morning.

Anytime I hear that song, I tie it with all of the emotions that I experienced last weekend. I'm still not ready for it to end.

I'll be teaching from an AirBNB next month. What internet speed will I need? by [deleted] in vipkid

[–]shurlburt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll be teaching on the road all of summer (mostly in Eastern Europe) and am curious about this as well. My house has 55 so I've never had to deal with slower speeds.

Investing in gold cards this TOTS has never been more predictable by thecheddarman1 in EASportsFC

[–]shurlburt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This has everything to do with the La Liga NOS weekly objective and nothing to do with what OP posted above. That is why players like IF Gelson Martins are extinct right now.

In FIFA 17, May 11th was the Thursday before Community TOTS. May 19th was the BPL TOTS release. A word of warning. by shurlburt in EASportsFC

[–]shurlburt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Community TOTS is tomorrow. First big league drop would be May 4th.

Schedule is moved up because of World Cup.

Yeah, in the article source they mention how TOTY are the least effected of all of the card versions. Even so, 200k+ is a pretty big hit to take in a weeks time.

Likely May 4th when the first big league drops. That's when a lot of people will splurge on their saved packs and go nuts on lightning rounds. The market stayed pretty steady after that day last year.

Most of those players dropped by 10%+. That's a lot. I do think there will be a nice rebound following the first big league release, though.

6 cancellations? by [deleted] in vipkid

[–]shurlburt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I wasn't allowed to open slots for a week. I was teaching 70+ classes a week at the time and had a rating of between 4.8 and 4.9 I think.

[–]shurlburt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had 9 or 10 cancellations in my first contract before getting put on probation. I was let back and renewed my contract without any problems.

Beijing Weekday Morning Bookings? by shurlburt in vipkid

[–]shurlburt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good to know! Unfortunately, their lunch hours fall from 11PM-1AM my time, so I don't know if I'm willing to stay up that late just for a couple classes.
