Why do most international students take IELTS instead of TOEFL for American universities?
2024.05.07 23:19 TupaG Why do most international students take IELTS instead of TOEFL for American universities?
I’m an international student myself. I want to go to college in America. I see on the internet that most international students who also want to go to college in America take the IELTS test, instead of TOEFL. Even though the latter is American English. I find it strange to take the British English exam for American universities. I consider myself a C2 level speaker. I've been speaking English since I was around 4 years old (I'm now turning 21). People have been commenting on my accent since it started changing when I was 14, although I've lived in Romania my entire life. I went from having an Eastern European accent at 13 to a tryhard British accent at 14, then in recent years people in real life have said I have an American accent, and some people on the internet might just think it's a neutral accent.
I took a TOEFL practice test on Testready and I find it a bit difficult, especially the speaking section. The first prompt in the Speaking section gives you only 10 seconds to get ready and 1 minute and 45 seconds to speak. I find that ridiculous. There's just no way you can formulate a response that long in 10 seconds without pauses. I haven't taken the full test, so I can't speak on everything, except for reading, listening, and part of speaking. I've found the other sections to be fine. I've no trouble with the reading and listening sections on the TOEFL.
I may or may not need to take an English proficiency test in the near future. I took the SAT in December 2023 and scored 610 on the reading and writing section, well above the SAT requirements for English proficiency tests waiver at the universities I'm interested in. Here's a breakdown of my strengths and weaknesses in the R&W section of the SAT.

2024.05.07 23:19 RickSayingCoral Dad passed and I am the beneficiary on an annuity of his... What should I do?
I'm the 100%/sole beneficiary of this annuity. It's through Lincoln Financial. It currently has a value of ~$137,000. My dad was receiving ~$686/month from this annuity, which actually seems like a pretty good return (~6% APY). It was also charging a "rider fee" of ~$440 every 3 months (I think it's percentage based and came straight out of the account). My dad might have been on Lincoln's "i4LIFE" plan. If I take the lump sum option, I will be paying ~24% in federal taxes on it (based on the W-4R IRS form), and I have absolutely no idea how state taxes work on this (we're in MD).
These are my options:
Select Your Payment Method
Please note: If the contract owner has previously designated a payment option, Lincoln is required to distribute funds pursuant to that designation. If no option is selected below, the default payment method is a single check.
Please select only one payment option:
1. Assume Ownership–As surviving spouse and sole beneficiary of this annuity contract, I wish to be designated as the successor owner. I understand that the contract will remain in force with the original effective date with no change of contract provisions. This includes i4LIFE® if eligible.
2. The i4LIFE® Advantage–Please be aware an additional form is required with this option.
3. 5-Year Deferral–This option is available for death benefits of $10,000 or more.
4. Lump Sum–If elected, please select only one of the below lump sum options. For Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT), include a voided check, if not received payment will be made in the form of a single check. The address on the voided check must match the address listed in Section 2 of the claim form.
One Single Check
Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) (Distributions will be deposited directly into your account at your financial institution)
5. 1035 Exchange–If elected, please select only one of the below lump sum options.
Exchange to another Lincoln contract. Additional required forms:
– Application for a new contract
– ACORD 1035 Exchange Rollover and Transfer Form (ACORD 951) Exchange to another financial institution/carrier. Additional required forms:
–1035 Exchange Form from other financial institution/carrier
–Acceptance letter from other financial institution/carrier
6. Annuitization Option–This option is available for death benefits of $10,000 or more for period certain only payout options or for death benefits of $25,000 or more for lifetime payout options. An additional form (25698) is required with this option.
7. Establish Your Own Contract–A new application is required and a new contract will be issued. This option is taxable.
8. Extended Payout–This option is available for death benefits of $10,000 or more. This option may not be available on all fixed products.
Note: See Annuity Claims Beneficiary Guide enclosed in claim packet for additional details on payment options.
Important note: Lincoln will set up an annual RMD and/or AWS schedule and send the payment to the address of record on the next available payment date.
I don't think I can choose option 1 because it seems like it's only for a spouse.
What would you do?

2024.05.07 23:19 RooftopKorean_ SEG Entertainment District Thoughts
This is the first video I saw with information about SEG's plan for the entertainment district they want to build, so please take it with a grain of salt and also that it is only 1 point of view at this time.
Quick take: SEG wants 3 downtown blocks with unlimited building heights along with increasing sales taxes by half a percentage point to generate revenue to fund the project.
Here's what the application is asking for
What are your thoughts?

Here's what the application is asking for
- 99 year lease for the block the Delta Center sits on.
- Leasing two blocks east of the Delta Center from Sat Lake County.
- SEG keeps money generated by new sales tax for 30 years.
- Tax: Minus 1% city admin fee and whatever gets spent renovating Salt Palace.
- Lifting caps on building heights.
- Potential tax increment financing: Developers get tax revenue from projects.
- Creating of public infrastructure district: issue bounds for roads, etc.

2024.05.07 23:18 catfouh Dream after Lourde Pilgrimage
I was on a mission with my friends.
A man approached me, young, very thin, and dark-skinned. He told me he was experiencing hunger in the world, that he needed help but yet he was taken care of, he was getting better. He was just convinced his case was the priority just as much as other people that were more obviously struggling. He was in his own organization, had a home, and also had the will to help others. He was educated though immature.
He was 16 and I was 23. We talked. I felt compassion and admiration, I couldn't help but stay to help him even though he was doing fine. Unfortunately, I fell in love with him, deeply but whiteout reasons, like a young love. We kissed and he went along with the situation. We were euphoric, it seemed to last a few hours, if even that, but I was in love as if it had been a year.
The relationship didn't work out, I insisted, but I understood he was too young, that he would come back later when he was more mature, that he wouldn't need help anymore, even though again, he didn't need help. Indeed our age difference was a problem. I let him go, I sent him on his way and I returned to the mission.
I returned with my friends from Lourdes, we moved through a chaotic, busy, bustling city. All over the place and in motion. Rather dirty but a dirtiness from a country where the dust comes from nature and makes the world charming.
Everything was fine except that I was getting sick. Fever was rising, I made less and less sense. I spoke too loudly, with long or too short sentences, adorned with too many feelings. I felt uncomfortable, had ticks, I wandered. I tried not to show it to my friends but they sent me signs that they knew, and I felt their awkwardness. No one really helped me, they indicated it to me but I denied it. I tried to be okay, to move forward. One step after another, with a logic limited to my perception. I spoke in metaphors.
In a store like Emmaus, I commented on furniture, objects, clothes... I remember because they talked to me about it again but this part is really blurry and feverish. With my friends, we played a game but I didn't understand the rules and I was jostled, I felt attacked.
It was a discussion in a crowded bus that brought me back to communication because that's really what I was lacking. But my friends explained to me that I was embarrassing them, that I was badly dressed, my sweater was badly put on and I was fooling no one. There I started to defend myself, what's the matter? People were looking at me poorly.
A friend, but not the closest one though, asked me for the first time: "And why did you use the word 'ornament' when you were talking about 'tele-ornament'?" In this case, in the chaos, I was talking about a television ornamented with baroque gilding. I can remember it clearly, and I thought of this image at this time. I simply replied that the television was decorated.
The others continued to be unpleasant with me, not malicious but it was impossible for me to understand what they were talking about. My sweater was well put on and it was the sweater I used for my uniform so my appearance was the usual one.
A man in the bus crowd joined them in a much more direct way. Yes, I was embarrassing. It really struck me, because he was a stranger. I told them: "I don't judge by appearances, so why do you?" They fell silent but were uncomfortable.
I realized that this man there was black, and suddenly I was afraid that the world might think I had answered him this for that reason. Which made no sense to me because anyway it contradicted my point. I'm white and because of their reactions, I realised our difference. No one was malicious but they were wary and confused.
But my friend in the back became more insistent. He had already repeated the question several times "But why this word? Why ornament? Why this choice? Is it important?" And I only focused on him, with amazement, and a certain lucidity struck me.
Suddenly I was less sick, and it was actually easy for me to focus. And I began to think about his questions but the explanation wasn't obvious to me anymore. Why this word and this object: this "tele-ornament"?
And then I had a new awareness: I realised I was dreaming. And this tele-ornament was the prism through which I see the real world.
I woke up after that, and I felt like the flip side of the same coin.
Thank you for reading :)

2024.05.07 23:18 ZealousidealIsopod12 Weird locking sound
When my car locks after the end of a drive, it makes a loud robotic-ish noise. Idk how to explain it. I thought it was an animal when it first happened it actually startled me. It didn't start doing this until about 2 years after I got my car. Has anybody else had this problem? If so, any fixes? Thank you

2024.05.07 23:17 spike_and_mortis Reverend insanity changed me
So recently i finished the Mermaid flashback Arc and it got me thinking. Ri was my first real chinese novel and while i heard good stuff about it and i never knew what it was about.
It may sound a bit cringe but reverend insanity really changed me in a better way. Since i began Ri a year ago i became way calmer and what other think of me and if they gave me attention (which i was looking forward to in the last) doesnt bother me at all. I have found peace in my loneliness.
Fang yuans journey makes me really appreciate life and everytime he died/failed he was so calm and never regretted anything, it is admirable. I hope the mast 600 chapters dont end too quickly and i will probably make another post for that.
Thank you seniors for reading and i hope you understood what i meant. Lets all continue our journey together

- Unlike some tutors advertising on Reddit, I am a native-born and raised American citizen with an authentic natural U.S. American accent.
- I am half Irish, half Italian, but 100% American.
- I have received a complete American education from an NJ Elementary School, an NJ middle school, an NJ high school, and 2 NJ universities.
- I have no problem speaking with potential clients on the phone.
- I have an authentic suburban upper-middle-class American accent, similar to the actor: Ben Stein.
- However, be wary of so-called “tutors” who refuse to accept any phone calls or have a strict “text / email only” policy.
- These “text-only” / “email-only” tutors are usually located outside the U.S. and are afraid their foreign accent will expose their true nationality.
- Approximately 98% of the time, I write all my texts & emails in grammatically correct U.S. English with proper punctuation and occasional typo.
- Unlike some alleged “U.S.-based tutors,” I do NOT write using broken English or grammatically incorrect texting shorthand (example: "wut u need help wit??").
- I write my ad in proper American English, the same way I always text and email people.
- I can guide students on formatting & writing term papers, essays, and discussion posts in APA MLA Chicago Harvard format.
- If the tutor you’re checking out consistently writes using egregiously horrendous grammar, do you honestly think it’s a good idea to trust them to help you do well in your class?
- I have absolutely no reservations with allowing interested students the opportunity to analyze & assess my intonations & inflections my erudite diction my unique vocabulary & word choice suburban upper-middle-class American accent my tone & pitch my articulation to get a better idea of the way I present myself.
- If you call my phone number and I don't pick up the phone in time, my voicemail recording will play.
- I recorded my voicemail message in my own voice introducing myself as Jim O'Hara and explaining my services.
- A professional tutor running a serious business should have a unique voicemail greeting regarding their services.
- I consider myself to be a very well-mannered and polite person.
- I always try to speak & text in a clean proper matter without using any obscenities or R-rated language.
- Please be wary of anyone using inappropriate R-rated language (example: f-bombs, C U Next Tuesday, sh*t).

Considering the fact that you found my contact information online, it’s understandable to be skeptical regarding the legitimacy of my services. Therefore, I’m willing to do all of the following to help you feel more secure in trusting me with your academic needs:
- 1) Speak with you on the phone and answer any questions you may have so that you have the opportunity to assess and analyze my tone, articulation, accent, diction, dialect, regionalisms, pitch, vocabulary, word choice, intonations, and inflections.
- NOTE: I’m a New Jersey-born Irish/Italian-American, but I have been told that I speak in an erudite & articulate suburban American accent with a “professor style” voice somewhat resembling the voice of actor: Ben Stein.
- 2) Agree to do some homework questions of yours upfront with the work fully shown in real-time to prove my mastery of the course content.
- 3) Send you screenshots of at least five past scores I attained from completing exams & homework assignments for other students in the same type of class you need help with.
- 4) Send you full screenshots of written exam solutions I wrote up by hand for students in the past in the same course that you need help with so that you can see my neat handwriting.
- 5) Provide you with the contact information of students who have utilized my services in the past who would be more than willing to vouch for my skills.
At the risk of sounding arrogant, I consider myself to be at least marginally more intelligent (both academically & socially) than the average person. Therefore, if I ever decided to suddenly risk prison time, risk my reputation, and risk enduring the wrath of modern-day “cancel culture” by scamming people out of their money:
- I certainly wouldn’t do it for such paltry amounts of money. (i.e., anything less than $1,000 per victim.)
- I certainly wouldn’t choose high school & college students as my “target audience” to scam, considering that most people without college degrees have abysmally low annual incomes. Why choose low-income victims when it would be much more profitable to target high-income, high-net-worth individuals earning at least six figures a year? I have knowledge in business consulting, and I promise you that a business owner would be a MUCH more lucrative mark than a low-income college student.
- I wouldn’t choose such a time & energy-draining method of scamming people. Also, communicating back and forth with potential clients is an absurdly long time sink since only less than 10% of all potential clients who reach out to me actually become paying clients of mine. This means that 90% of my time communicating with potential clients ultimately proves to be a colossal waste of my irretrievable time & energy.
- If you pay me to provide academic services and I don’t deliver, you can always dispute the payment with the payment app and easily get your money refunded. If I were in the habit of swindling money from people, then all of my payment accounts would have been investigated and be completely shut down by now. And I would have been permanently banned from opening new accounts. Therefore, the fact that all my payment apps have been fully active for years should be sufficient proof that I haven’t had people consistently disputing payments sent to me.
- If you are interested in my services and would like to learn more info, please feel free to reach out to me.
- Text messages and email are the fastest and easiest ways to get in touch with me. However, I gladly accept phone calls.
- If I don't respond right away, I am most likely helping a student at the time and not currently available to speak on the phone. But I always make a solid effort to reply to texts, emails, and phone calls within an hour.
- I take my work as a tutor very seriously, and I always aim to do my best to help my students excel in school. I have a solid and sincere passion for academic achievement, and with my help, I am positive that I can help students obtain very high grades with minimal stress and effort.
- Please feel free to contact me if you're interested in my services and would like to learn more. I'm available 24/7 via phone call, email, and text. Again, thank you for taking the time to read my Reddit tutoring ad, and I hope to hear from you soon!

2024.05.07 23:17 luxxevy AITA for disliking my parents?
I (15F) live with my parents and a younger brother (13M). For context, I have my first GCSE exam on Friday, it becomes relevant later on. I apologise for how unorganised this is, my head is all over the place at the moment.
My father is lazy, does objectively nothing to help around the house and essentially gets paid to sit on his arse all day. My mother works with disabled children and believes she's a saint for doing so. My brother is incredibly annoying, speaks fluent skibidi toilet brain rot and usually ignores my existence. Recently my mother has hit breaking point with my father's laziness and things have only gotten worse. From the age of 11, we've been expected to clean the kitchen daily - no big deal, every kid has chores.
Where I began to get annoyed was by the fact that every single day it's been me and me alone doing the job. My brother stands to the side and lets me clean everything. Before now I've tried simply doing the half he insists on me doing and then leaving (which is of course the bigger jobs that take longer to do) however, I've continuously watched him slap the crumbs off the counter with a towel and then just leave. This ends in me being yelled at because the job hasn't been done to the standard to which they expect it to be done, and when I complain that when it is done properly it's only me doing it, I get yelled at for that too - usually something like "grow up" or "when I was your age...".
To make things worse, my mother's justification that she did the same things at my age is entirely false. I have a very good relationship with my grandparents and they have time and time again told me she's lying - as has her sister who she also insists did the same jobs. According to them, her only job was to keep her room clean - she didn't even do that efficiently. This has been going on for years, but as I said, recently it's gotten much worse. In essence, my mom hates mess, but won't take any action against it. Instead, despite the fact she boasts about the fact her new job means less workload, she instead spends the time she could be using on tidying the house she hates so much on watching Harry Potter and leaving it to me.
To reduce her workload, she decided me and my brother need to do our washing, which I found fair enough until I realised I was still expected to fold the mountains of clothing she generates, which again, because my brother is so lazy and uses weaponised incompetence to an extent I never thought possible, is again entirely left to me. No matter how much I complain about just how much of the work is left to me, nothing ever changes. I was told she would take over my jobs so I could revise during exam season - this hasn't happened and I am still spending more time trying to appease my mother's stupid expectations than revising for the biology paper I sit on Friday - a subject I'm continuing at A Level.
Despite the personal choice to have not just one, but two children, she has decided I also have to fund my living on £10 a week. This includes but is not limited to shower gel, feminine hygiene, deodorant, clothes etc. This money, despite the ongoing cost of living crisis, is also supposed to fund trips with friends. This puts me in constant debt to my grandparents or friends, to the point where I've had to stop going out entirely to be able to fund my lifestyle - I don't buy expensive stuff, I simply take my hygiene very seriously, and my paranoia of being dirty or smelling bad is beginning to cost me a hell of a lot more than I believed it would.
My mom never used to be this insufferable and I fully believe it's down to her unhappy marriage. Time and time again I have begged my dad to do something to help out, but he simply believes that because he does the garden once a year he is excused from all housework - even wiping the sideboards after making breakfast, which probably takes around about 2 minutes. He's very big on meat and the keto diet which produces a lot of fat left on pans and spit around the kitchen. I'm autistic with pretty bad sensory problems and I HATE the texture of fat and having to clean it off of things, of course, this is left to me to fix again. I've asked him so often to just wipe out his plates and pans before putting them in the sink to be washed, and not once has he ever done as I have asked. This is the same man who'd yell at me in year 2 (6-7 years old) because I was too young to realise I had to scrape my food into the bin when I was done eating and I hadn't been doing so. In addition to not cleaning fat off of plates and pans, I have quite a few times cut myself on broken glass in the sink while attempting to unblock it, which no one has ever alerted me to it being there.
My mom seems unhappy in the marriage. She's googled divorce and how much it costs (£600) and complained about my dad's inherent laziness to my grandparents, her friends and my girlfriend's mother. I genuinely cannot fathom why she won't just leave him. The extent to which it impacts her mood is concerningly huge, and I'm so tired of having it taken out on me when I feel I've done nothing to deserve it.
While the responsibilities thrown upon me are a large part of my unhappiness, that's not all. Academically, I've always been ambitious, but it doesn't come naturally. Despite the work I put in, the all-nighters, easter school and tutoring have never been enough to give me a grade 9 (A++/A**). In my best subjects, I am capped at a 7 (A), and in my worst, I'm capped at 5s (Cs). While I understand that these arent bad grades and that many would be pleased by it, I have very high expectations for myself and I am never satisfied regardless of how much work I put in. Rather than helping despite the fact this has over time demotivated me to the point of depression and contemplation of ending my life as I never feel good enough, I've been met with "that's life"s and "get over it"s. Furthermore, they take great interest in my brother's life, asking how he's doing with a girl he mentioned he was into, but despite the fact they are aware of my girlfriend and that I have one, they have NEVER asked me how my life is or what my relationships are like. I get the idea that they don't care, and while I don't think it is, I think it could have something to do with my orientation (me and my girlfriend are of course in a lesbian relationship). I think this because when I have dated the opposite sex, they DO ask me about my relationships and are desperate to meet the boyfriend in question.
I don't feel I'm a bad daughter. I don't stay out late, I get academic awards (intermediate maths challenge, certificate of general academic excellence, personal postcards from teachers congratulating my work ethic etc.) and grades most parents would be delighted to hear their children are getting. I've never been a problem child, I've been caught doing something I shouldn't a total of once, I don't drink much, I've never done drugs, I'm still a virgin and am not at any risk of teen pregnancy, I do my absolute best, if not even more, and somehow despite this, I am still never enough. If anything they find small things to berate me over, such as slut shaming me for being on and off with the same two boys over a period couple of months - again, I am still a virgin, unlike MANY girls my age to the point where I am the only girl who hasn't done that at all in my whole friend group. Overall, the fact that no matter what I do is never enough for them has made me start to hate them, but they always apologise with money. My dad bought me a new bass guitar for yelling at me once, but never once has he ever said the word sorry to me, and honestly I would rather just them admit to having done something wrong or validate my feelings that I don't deserve what they give me. I know it's not huge, and I know so many people have it worse. They've never hit me and that's why I feel so ridiculous for hating them, but I'm so miserable at home and I've had so many friends tell me I can stay with them that I've seriously begun considering it. I'm desperate to move out, but with property prices in the UK that don't seem to be going down anytime soon, my only hope is surviving another 2 years and then moving into student accommodation, and I have no idea what I'll do after that.
Again, sorry for the jumbled-up mess, I just really needed to get it off my chest. I feel so unreasonable for hating them but then when I tell my friends about my home life they seem horrified as they either have absolutely nothing to do or less than a quarter of my responsibility. AITA?

2024.05.07 23:17 forwent_mud Anyone raising a Golden Retriever in an apartment? What is your experience like and would you caution against it?
Hello.
I've been doing research on dozens of dog breeds and a Golden Retriever fits me most for a medium dog that is smart, loyal and quiet.
But I'm wondering about my apartment life and how much a Golden Retriever actually fits into my daily day. I'm a 28 y/o single male.
At lunch, walk around the lake
At night/after dinner, walk around the lake
Dog forrest in weekends
Possible dog training once a week or every two weeks
First time owner, in an apartment, solo but very willing. What do you think?

2024.05.07 23:17 Eden_mg A smart way to memorize sentences
The most common way people tell you to memorize sentences is by saying “read the sentence a lot and rewrite the sentence so you’ll familiarize yourself with it”. there’s no doubt this works, but it’s quite boring and takes a long time.
The plan I use: 1) Write down the sentence you want to learn - please make sure you write the capital letters and interpunction clearly! • Example: The United States is focused on new advancements in the military.
2) read the sentence a couple times - this is just to analyze any difficult/outstanding words. • Example: The United States (can be shortened) is focused on new advancements (long word + what does the word mean?) in the military.
3) Write down the first letter of every word - leave enough space between the words and don’t forget to write the capital letters and interpunction, this will make things easier. • Example: T U S i f o n a i t m.
4) cover the sentence you wrote in step 1 and try to remember the sentence by using the letters you wrote down in step 3. - this is where the memorizing starts! just by seeing the first letter of a word, you’ll eventually remember the word associated with it.
5) cover the entire paper and practice the sentence a couple times more. - this is to test yourself on if you know the sentence well enough!
sounds fun and easy right? but, how did i come up with this plan and does it work?
A couple years ago i had to give a presentation in a language i don’t speak. we weren’t allowed to have a paper with text so i had to memorize every single sentence, i found this plan through a crappy youtube video where someone explained how they use it for learning text for acting jobs and the theater.
In around 10 days i’ll be making my final exams for history class. we need to know 31 key sentences, split into 6 parts. by using this plan i’ve learned all sentences in 6 parts, spending around 30-45 minutes on each part. So in my opinion this definitely works!
I think it’s been really helpful so i hope i might be able to help at least someone out by sharing this! let me know if you tried it and how it went. thanks for reading all this, good luck studying!

2024.05.07 23:17 Rob3E To Roku or not to Roku? Is it that much smarter these days?
Loved my stand-alone Roku when I got my first one many years ago. Then got Roku TVs (TCL). Now one my TCL TVs seems to have died, and needs to be replaced.
It doesn't seem super easy to pick up a well-reviewed, Roku TV around me, and I'd really like to pick something up locally, so I'm probably just going to go for the most reasonable TV in the size I want, and not worry about built-in Roku. I know I can always pick up a stand-alone, plug-in model, like I had back in the day, but is it worth it? Looks like I'll very likely end up with something with Google TV built in. Does Roku offer a lot of advantages?
Back in the day, Roku seemed like the best, most full-featured streaming option. Now that streaming is the norm, I'm unclear if I need to worry about Roku, or if all streaming platforms are pretty much the same these days.
I would miss Roku City screen saver, though...

Back in the day, Roku seemed like the best, most full-featured streaming option. Now that streaming is the norm, I'm unclear if I need to worry about Roku, or if all streaming platforms are pretty much the same these days.
I would miss Roku City screen saver, though...
2024.05.07 23:17 Subject_Fox2987 Summers off?
With school-based therapy, I recently took a job and am starting next month. This first summer I will be 4 days a week because there will be enough to do with onboarding, but they are telling me next year I would probably only have 2 days in the summer. The school contract year is salaried but during the summer I’d be on hourly wages through the community mental health. They said most clinicians go on unemployment during the summer. I definitely need to work during the summer and make as much as I make during the school year, as I am only a LLMSW and don’t get paid that much. What do you do in the summer to make extra money? Can I be on unemployment and get a part time job?
There is also another opportunity at a different site that I was offered, where they said I’d be guaranteed to work 40 hours even during summers because it is a teen health center. I was offered both positions and just need to pick one, but the decision is tough because I really liked the original position that I was offered and had my mind & heart set on that

2024.05.07 23:17 RawhideJohnston Old European tourists in Kyoto
I came back to Kyoto after just a year but my god, things have changed so much since somehow. I came here just AFTER golden week and Gion~Sannenzaka and Nishiki is full of people. The combination of local middle schoolers and tourists makes a perfect storm.
First, I want to say sorry to the Chinese tourists for assuming they are the problem because internet just loves to jump the gun and blame them first. But it was actually old European tourists(I was hearing a lot of french but it must be just a coincidence) who are causing the mass havoc. They were trying to enter people’s homes and sometimes literally trying to jump the fence.
When in doubt, don’t fucking touch it. That is the rule #1 when you are visiting any country. I
Younger generation who comes to Japan are usually educated enough about the rules and they behave well despite the language barrier. It’s the old people who are brash and just kinda rude.
I know it’s really cringe to shit on tourists when I‘m a tourist myself eld but my god… it’s always the few bad ones which ruin everything. Kyoto is the definition of “this is why we can’t have nice things”.
P.s. Nishiki Market is entering Tsukiji Market price. I swear the prices got so much more expensive.

2024.05.07 23:17 Tequila_Blue Supremacy question
Planning on heading to Supremacy this year from the UK. Will be my first ever event outside of the UK and our events suck so obviously looking forward to it
My question is that because of how often I get paid I am only able to get tickets one day after general sale and I know that that may seem alright to do but the site says last year sold out in under 30 mins. You guys think it’ll be alright?
Bigger venue this year it seems but not sure if that will equate to quicker sales or slower sales due to bigger capacity

2024.05.07 23:17 Relevant-Apartment45 Help with making a Mistborn video game
I am looking for others who might be willing to collaborate with making a Mistborn based video game. There are other places that I could look for people to work with but since this is a fan project, I want people who love the Mistborn series as much as I do.
A while ago I made a demo of how the physics of pushing/pulling could work. By far the hardest part was the pushing/pulling of dynamic physics objects. In the books the amount of force on an object is partially determined by how much the object is braced against another object. In the end, I got it working and you can jump off a roof, drop a coin and push it. It will slow you somewhat as the coin falls, then when it hits the ground it pushes you up with a much greater force. Here is a quick video of what I made: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yqIBOXUzaV8
The goal for this game would be to capture the feeling of what it would be like to be a Mistborn assassin flying through the streets at night. There would be a heavy emphasis on physics based movement and stealth combat. I think first person view would be the best, especially with pushing/pulling metals mechanic. Creating a good environment and atmosphere is another high priority, particularly with the mist.
The fan project, Mistborn: Ashes is a big inspiration. This video of theirs paints a good picture of what might be possible: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-2pIZTweVwE&t=80s . Some video game inspirations are the Assassin's Creed, Dishonered, and Spiderman series.
Here are my thoughts for the mechanics of this game. In Mistborn, metals are arranged in pairs. For every push there is a pull. In the game you could toggle between pairs of metals. Mouse left would be pull and mouse right would be push. For example, if you had steel and iron equipped, you could push on metals with mouse right and pull with mouse left. I think that you could equip daggers as well and attack and block with the mouse.
However, this might well be out of the scope of a hobby project. If this is the case then I think it would be best to focus of steel and iron pushing and pulling. I think the combination of pushing metals and fighting is the best combination for a small project.
I have two years of experience in the Unity game engine. I am at an intermediate level for programing and enjoy it. I think a team of two or three would be the best size. I am especially looking for a 3d artist because I am not one.
Also feel free to comment your ideas on a video game even if you don't have an interest in building it.

2024.05.07 23:16 Waste-Address3402 [TX] Need Advice on Protecting Job After Losing a Child
I’m writing on behalf of my spouse who was hired about four months ago as a senior manager in Accounting.
Background: We lost our 18 year old daughter unexpectedly in early April—to add insult to injury, we have been harassed by her bio dad (my husband was her dad in every sense for last 15 years—since she was three). My husband is a strong man, but the stress from her death, the harassment by my ex who suffers from schizo-affective disorder and is sending us horrific messages and threatening our safety is causing my husband an extreme amount of stress.
To compound this, his right hand manager, who has been imperative to monthly close and other important tasks, left last Friday. Their boss from a certain country in Eastern Europe is a cold, ruthless woman who is riding my husband like Zoro with unrealistic deadlines and even though they were supposed to split the former managers work, he said she is putting close to 78% on his plate—truly a no-win situation if he wants to keep his job.
I know he struggles with managing expectations—and I have already told him to stay away from over promising something and under delivering. I am looking for helpful phrases that he can use when communicating with his supervisor in writing that help him protect his job, specifically as it pertains to deadlines and managing her expectations. We feel akin to Job’s struggles in the Old Testament at this point. Any practical advice or suggestions is beyond appreciated, y’all.
