Don't know where to post this, but one image interaction I would LOVE to see is being able to open an image with a single tap. Right now, I tap the image, and the post&comments open, then I have to tap it again to get the image to fully open.

I know everything is new, but i think it'll help the folks that are here just to browse the memes.

I believe the previous comment was about visa-holding, language teachers, such as a foreign teacher in a Hakwons.

10-15 years ago midnight runs were more prevalent because you could wait out the expiration of your visa and come back to work for for another company.

The handful of people that I knew who did this had their salaries underpaid or paid late. Sometimes they did it because the company refused to give them the correct benefits or working conditions. The treatment of foreign teachers is so bad that even current government contracts will have clauses that break the Korean labor standards.

The article is talking about actual licensed Korean public school teachers. They have a higher retention rate. But, as the article points out, they do suffer from abusive parents (and sometimes students) and a lack of support from their schools and the government for dealing with them.

I've seen no evidence of counting time in the womb. I have seen lots of non-Koreans spreading the belief around.

What happens is the moment you are born you are 1 in Old Korea Counting (OKC). 0 international.

On January 1 you are 2 in OKC and 0 international.

On your 1st birthday you are 2 in OKC and 1 international.

On the next January 1 you are 3 OKC and 1 international.

And so forth.

Source: 2 decades in Korea, Korean spouse who is happy to be younger, and a Korean child who is very disappointed to be younger. When our child was born we didn't say they were 9 months (OKC), they were 1(OKC).

It has been explained to me as "counting the years you have been alive during".

In the US, a university offers at least 1 Master or higher degree in some field. A college's highest degree is an Associate (community college) or Bachelor.

A university will refer to it's smaller degree areas as College such as College of Educational, College of Business. This is to differentiate them from administrative departments. In the same vain, college's will have schools of education or business, ect.

In the UK (by what my Brit friends have taught me) college is more like US high school, and university is the education after that (the post secondary education). My friend's child would be in US high school, but is attending college in England.

Sort of like pudding be a catch all for food 😁

I would consider Effort (time/energy) as a part of 'Cost'.

I work a government job and a side-hustle. I earn a large amount per hour in my private business. If I cancel a client so I can cook a time intensive meal, then the food is getting more expensive.

Also, if I'm exhausted from working 1.5 jobs, an effort heavy meal isn't cheap for me.
