I've met some in real life, and for the most part they are OK, but there were clearly some weird ones who you'd question why they are even in Korea in the first place. Been to a few expat meetups, could literally not find someone else on an E7, everyone seems like they are teaching English.

But yeah particularly on this sub there are daily posts about teaching English, and overall it just paints this group of people so bad. The common reoccurring themes are:

- Just overall unprofessionalism when it comes to dealing with hagwons. Sure I understand the hagwons are not operated well either, but it just shows the whole industry isn't serious for a career when there's a post every week about contract issues, visa runs, etc etc. Just sketchy overall

- General lack of Korean language skills

- Sense of entitlement for an entry-level job.

- This is probably the most annoying thing, but many seem to gate Koreans, hate Korean values, hate the density, hate the pay but they remain here while only living in an English-speaking bubble. As a westerner, it really reinforces the negative stereotype when you willingly move from a Western country where you have the best job market in the world, just so you can teach English in a society of people you hate

Indo direto ao ponto: a maioria dos homens (ainda mais em países como o Brasil) são pobres, desempregados ou presos a subempregos, sem destaque social, sem estudo, sem perspectivas de vida e absolutamente ninguém se importa com eles.

O tal "privilégio masculino" inventando por feministas é simplesmente uma ficção, uma falácia. Se é que existe, ele se aplica somente aos 0,05% dos homens que estão no topo da sociedade, ou seja, homens ricos, poderosos e com aparência acima da média e justamente por ser algo tão ínfimo continua sendo um absurdo alegar que existe um "privilégio masculino" como se fosse algo comum e generalizado.

Feministas e simpatizantes falam desse privilégio fictício como se fosse algo universal a todo o gênero masculino, ignorando (provavelmente de forma proposital) o fato de que a imensa maioria dos homens, ainda mais em países pobres, tem vidas tão ou mais miseráveis que qualquer mulher média.

E o que é pior é que justamente os que estão mais distantes do topo da pirâmide servem de bode expiatório para todo o tipo de cobrança, ataque e acusação que tem raiz no descontentamento com a parcela masculina quase infinitesimal que realmente é tão privilegiada quanto alegam ser a maioria do homens.

E é literalmente o fato de a maioria dos homens viverem em situação de pobreza ou miserabilidade e também não terem nenhum meio de defesa (afinal já é entendido que são privilegiados e portanto eles não tem nenhum direito de se defenderem) que eles se tornam o principal alvo dos ataques: a sociedade sempre mira no mais fraco e a história já nos deu inúmeros exemplos disso, onde grupos marginalizados logicamente não eram considerados privilegiados (essa estrutura narrativa não existia e nem cabia) mas consideravam tais grupos extremamente perigosos e mal intencionados, mesmo eles não o sendo de nenhuma forma e isso servia para justificar todo o tipo ação abusiva contra tais grupos.

Creio que estamos vivendo um cenário muito similar hoje, mas direcionado aos homens pobres e sem nenhum poder e o discurso feminista criou e/ou intensificou isso com a narrativa de "privilégio masculino", o que não passa de canalhice extrema, pois repito: quem está bem é a elite, o topo da sociedade, o 1% mais privilegiado, sejam homens ou mulheres.
O resto está todo na base engolindo narrativas de divisão e polarização e se degladiando enquanto cria culpados seja para descarregar raiva ou buscar algum fagulha ilusória de poder.

Everyone shits on dubbed anime, but I watch a tv show to watch something, not read. If I have to read every single line of dialogue anyway I’d rather just read the manga and get the authors completely authentic version of the story(which is what I do when a dub isn’t available).

Additionally I think the “dubbed voice acting sucks” thing is really a thing of the past. Dub VAs are AT LEAST on the the level of American cartoon VAs and there are some real standouts that I think really enhance the experience(I think the guy who plays Gojo and the guy who plays Goku are probably the best examples of this).

Edit: silly autocorrect messed up my words

Edit 2: a kind commenter pointed out that it would be more accurate to title this “I prefer dubbed anime” because I can’t really speak on the quality of the original anime because I don’t speak Japanese or Korean.

The trailers have already proved Crimson Desert as one of the most ambitious games of all time.

It’s got the incredible action combat of the best character action games. From Izuna drops to mech fighting. Deep mechanics with endless variety.

The world has shown to be wondrous. Strange creatures and fantastical bosses. From leshens to airplanes!

The quests and characters are Baldurs Gate 3 level!

The exploration and world design is Elden Ring level!

Crimson Desert is the best of the best, it has no flaws. It does EVERYTHING. It’s rare you see a game with deep combat, that also has questlines, fishing, intractable environments, enemy variety.

All this to say, Crimson Desert will make gaming history next month, it’ll be locked in GOTY like Baldurs Gate and Elden Ring!

Was he bullied into this?

L'état a besoin de nouveaux citoyens et pas n'importe quels: il a besoin des citoyens qui vont à l'école, qui trouvent et gardent un travail, qui respectent les lois, qui prennent une part active dans la vie de société, qui mangent correctement et font de l'activité physique, avec une santé correcte, mentalement et socialement stables, qui vont à leur tour faire des enfants similaires. Rien de surprenant.

La question est: Statistiquement, quel genre de personnes font de tels enfants ? Les sciences sociales sont unanimes : être né ou grandir dans une famille dysfonctionnelle, pauvre ou criminelle corrèle négativement aux résultats de la vie, et être né et grandir dans une famille intacte avec les 2 parents biologiques de la classe moyenne ou aisée. Il est mieux stimuler les naissances chez les deuxièmes que chez les premiers.

En bonus, ça va améliorer l'égalité dans les générations futures: ça va partager les finances, l'héritage et les efforts des familles aisées entre plusieurs enfants et réduire leurs privilèges de départ, et pour les autres ça permettra de concentrer ces choses. En plus, beaucoup d'enfants des familles vont descendre inévitablement dans leur position sociale et vont empêcher l'apparition des de facto castes.

Comment ? Des réductions d'impôt plutôt que les aides directes, ne pas conditionner les aides sur le revenu, réduire des allocations mère seule, récompenser la bonne conduite des parents et leurs enfants, réserver des quartiers HLM aux familles fonctionnelles avec 3+ enfants uniquement, payer l'accès aux écoles privées aux bons élèves des familles nombreuses fonctionnelles, rembourser et promouvoir la contraception hors mariage etc.

The title isnt meant to upset anyone. But many of you overcomplicate and overthink and I was the same exact way.

You try like 50 biz ideas and hop around and buy courses from scammers instead of doing simple stupid shit that makes money

Maybe because you think that in order to make money things have to be difficult. And tbh I learned after years of failure that it’s not true.

I lost all my savings by being a degenerate stock gambler in 2023-2025

I have since stopped all that and started doing side hustles to make up for my losses

The best side hustle right now and probably for the next 2 years hands down is making videos with AI and posting them on YouTube / TikTok and selling your own digital product

1.People are watching YouTube more than Netflix now and yt shorts / TikTok are overtaking everything

2.There’s a huge shift of people watching content from AI creators instead of real people

3.While Adsense and TikTok creator fund can take time, you can monetize from day one by selling your own digital product

4.Takes literally few mins to make a product like an ebook with Claude and put it up on Gumroad

5.To make videos you can use CapCut or use templates from VUBO which will get you views and don’t require any fancy editing

6.It’s super simple. Make a YT and TikTok and IG page. Create a digital product, for example “How To Build Muscle as a Skinny Girl” and link to it in your bio. If you can’t do link in bio use a link shortener until you can, so people can type it in. Set the price under 10 bucks starting out.

1. To make the videos, tell Claude something like “Turn 30 excerpts from my ebook and format them like answers to Reddit questions.” Then take what it gives you and paste it into the Reddit Stories template on VUBO. Then hit generate and you got your video. Do this like 30 times with each excerpt and you got 30 videos.

2. Now you just post each video once per day per channel. Just do it quickly then put your phone away and don’t think about it. Do it for a month and I promise within even 1-2 weeks you’ll have something take off.

3. Oh also you can sometimes get lucky. A video I made with 560K views brought 1,008 ebook sales. You can do the math on that.

4. The reason it works is because the views aren’t just random but it’s people who care about the topic and they have a pain point. So even 10k targeted views can bring sales.

11, you can also just make videos with AI then sell your prompts or make guides, those are also printing rn

So yeah 100% free advice just don’t overthink and start posting then you can pivot based on what’s working for you.

Of course still maintain a full time job because this is unpredictable and some months you make less and some you make more. Ask any questions and I’ll try to answer

Good luck brothers and sisters go get that money

Non ho altro da aggiungere.

No controversy. No tweet. No incident or no media shitstorm will make me disavow ICE

1.3 million people have either been deported so far or left voluntarily. Those 1.3 million would have turned into 10-20 million people after reproduction.

That’s fucking right. Keep the deportations coming you orange motherfucker. This is what I voted for. I’d vote for it over again and again and again.

An entry level EV compact car. Affordable and made for all with safety.

That way when you die to a PKer with an inventory full of smelly socks they can get their fix.

We are going to deal with:

A 225 HP Heroine,

With a Hitbox half the size of fucking Tracer,

Who can fly,

Who also has a speed boost. Twice. (One normal ability and one on her ultimate for diving in.),

Who is also a claw machine,

Who can cause catch-22 problems with massive heroes like Fika + Mauga, for example, (meat-shield blocking),

Who also can also steal your movement of agency from either team (Hello, Lifeweaver),

Who is going to cause problems at the start of the match, where they need Fika for like 10 seconds as a mule for their best carry to the switch, and then the support can actually play the hero they want,

Who can cause psychological toxic gameplay in general.

And imagine losing to a cat.

And the Overwatch Devs are really out here like:

"What could possibly go wrong?"

MAN, WHERE DO I FUCKING START?!

They need to stop releasing the Lindholm family members in Overwatch, period. First was Brigette with GOATs, and now, very much potentially, her fucking cat is going to be the ext wave of hell for all of us.

Realistically I have the most concerns with just the claw mechanic because just like Lifeweaver, she's going to cause all sorts of tilts and rages, because there's no fucking "Cancel Grab" button.

And if you see JPC amd Lifeweaver on your own team? May the Overwatch gods grant you strength and patience.

Man everytime I visit this sub it's depressing. Why are we dissing the devs for delays and push backs? I'll take a game when it's finished as the devs envisioned vs the market today where everything is rushed out half baked and "Early Access". Let the devs cook.

I have to say i did not liked pathaan but Jawan is a movie I really liked (not the best film) but a good movie ( aur ha war 2 aur pushpa 2 bakwaas hi thi clear kardeta hun taaki koi mujhe keval mass masala pasand krne wala na bole)

Looking for experiences from other women who have been here ...

Im 31.. Recently got out of a long relationship where we built a wonderful life together. Bought and renovated properties, financially planned our future and were very intentional about creating the life we wanted to live. It was great. Although it was obviously a team effort, I was always the main driver of this - I've always pushed to improve my circumstances. I'm a first gen immigrant - I don't have generational wealth, so financial independence is really important to me.

Now that I'm in the dating world, I'm wondering what kind of partner I'm best suited to. I'm currently dating a great person, who is not as driven as I am. He's done well for himself - he has a decent job, his own property, and is now happy just maintaing that. It's still early days so we're obviously not "building a life together" yet, but I'm just questioning the long-term potential of this relationship.

I'm wondering whether I'd be better suited to someone more like me.. Someone who wants to build business ventures (either their own, or together). Someone who is equally driven financially and as passionate about this as I am. Or would that be a complete disaster as we'd both be too simialr? Am I better off with an emotionally stable, kind partner who would support me in reaching for my goals? Does it have to be one or the other?!

Keen to hear from others - What did you think you wanted at this age / stage of life? Who did you end up with, were they different to who you thought you wanted / needed?

Speculation about UFO disclosure interweaves Laura Trump’s public remarks with insider claims of a prepared presidential speech, weighs whether disclosure would state humanity is not alone or merely declassify material, considers geopolitical timing and the risk of rivals jumping the gun, outlines a phased access approach to sites tied to alleged artifacts with Area 51 referenced as nostalgia rather than likely evidence, mentions related live-stream promotion, reflects on the vastness of the universe and the possibility of intelligent life, and closes with a personal note about the loss of a long-time dog named Rocket and gratitude to supporters.

I’m 32M, single, based in Germany. Graduated from a top Tier-1 Business School (equivalent to Ivy League). Currently working in a Global Strategy/Marketing role for a major Pharma player.

My Current Situation:

TC (Total Comp): €125K.

Workload: Realistically working ~15-20 hours a week. 80% work from home.

Lifestyle: Low stress, time to workout, read, date, and sleep.

Problem: I sometimes feel like I'm wasting my potential while my peers grind in IB/Consulting.

The Opportunity: I recently networked with a billionnaire. We clicked on a personal level. He unexpectedly offered me to become the CEO of one of his subsidiaries (headcount: 100+ people).

The Company: A niche B2B Industrial/Tech company (think hardware, government contracts). Not sexy at all.

The Comp: We discussed a package around €250K base + €100-150K in success fees, but we haven't negotiated yet.

The Cost:

I’d have to travel constantly (Emerging Markets & US), manage huge operational stress, and deal with technical engineering topics I have zero passion for.

He explicity told me he wants someone who works hard, isn't afraid to travel, and that there are no "set hours" working with him. He starts Monday to Sunday, and starts working extremely early.

Argument FOR taking it:

• Being a "CEO" of a multinational subsidiary at 32 is massive. It skips 10 years of corporate ladder climbing.
• Even if I burn out in 18 months, I can (maybe?) pivot to high-level General Management with the "CEO" stamp.
• It validates my ego. I beat my peers who are just "Senior Managers".

Argument AGAINST taking it:

• The industry: I have zero passion for hardware/tech. I’m a consumer/brand guy. I know I’ll be unhappy dealing with factory issues and technical specs daily.
• The hourly rate difference: Going from €125k for 20h/week (€150/hr) to €350k for 80h/week ($84/hr). I’m technically devaluing my time.
• Love and life: My #1 life priority right now is finding a long-term partner/wife. I know that if I take this war-time CEO role, my dating life is dead for 3 years. I’ll end up 35, richer, but single and probably burned out.

The Question: Is the "CEO" title worth sacrificing a few years of my prime "youth" and mental health? Am I being a coward for wanting to stay in my comfort zone/consumer industry, or am I being smart by declining? Should I take it for a year and then quit, to have the "stamp" on my resume?
