Well...On a bad day, because when they are on a roll, it’s like they aspire to be North Korean “News”

As someone who once tried learning Mandarin for a couple months, Japanese is a surprisingly easy language to learn. It’s still a useful language if you live in CA, OR, WA, or HI.

This reminded me of traveling through China with a study abroad group. One of our professors was a native of Beijing, but she could barely understand the local dialects in some of the more distant provinces we visited. Also, because they were so far off on their tones and pronunciation, she basically told a few…

A literal “Dad joke:” What’s the most spoken language in the world? No, it’s not English. It’s broken English! HAHAHAHAHA!” All stated with a Korean accent.

Me too. Plus I owe nearly the national debt in student loans and am on income-based repayment. All I see when I see a raise is a my loan payment going up.

I wouldn’t write China off as a potential retirement “haven”. It has excellent medical centers for those who can afford them (expensive for locals but likely cheap for westerners with western pensions). And the demand for English teachers mean most all retirees can pick up a nice chunk of tutoring income - as well…

Where has anyone found a job that gives a raise?! Jesus. I’d kill a man for a raise. I’m pretty sure they’re myths, like the Argonauts. I can haz raiz now?

Or maybe SANA (Syrian state media). I can’t wait for Fox to tell its followers totally real stories like this one about a pig-headed fish.

Fox is Pravda. Breitbart is RT.

I was thinking something like JavaScript would be a good choice since you can use it for front end and back end development.

There’s a lot of bitterness here expressed to people who are satisfied with the money they’re making.

true true true, trump rt’s them on the daily.

I am calling the cops on you right now.

I just got a raise and just about covers my rent increase and student loan payments. Oh, the joys of being poor.

Depends on the raise amount and how much vacation time you get. I just assumed my “long summer vacation” included not needing to work, which, yes, please.

I’m lower middle class and chose Long Vacation because I work in the seasonal service industry and my odds of getting more than a 10 cent raise, even if I’m given a good evaluation and having worked for my company for 3 years, is slim. So give me three months to decompress and do whatever.

Anybody that picked long summer vacations over getting a raise must not be lower middle class/balancing above the poverty level. Gimme dat motherfucking raise.

I am a middle-class, educated, churchgoing small-town white woman who wears Dress Barn dresses and cardigans and works in schools and libraries. I look like the last person in America who (insular, sheltered middle-class white) people—the majority of my acquaintance—would imagine needing the ACA. In reality, for my…

Time to bring this one out again
