oh, no, sorry, haha.

I've been living abroad for a very long time.

If you are a native English speaker, you can be saving a couple grand per month in a few weeks if you don't have a passport yet or start tomorrow if you do have a passport.

there are thousands of ESL jobs that will pay you an absolute minimum of $2,000 us a month working 25 hours a week in countries where the cost of living is less than $500 a month, but the quality of life is the same or better than the states.

you can get out of all the politics shit, go live a real life, and make a bunch of money doing it while doing good in the world helping students realize their potential and provide them with greater opportunities, and being an unofficial cultural ambassador, as far as you want to bridge the cultural gap between countries.

If you have any questions, I love talking about this stuff.

There are way more mangas where people are fighting tigers than I expected, so I am not able to pin this one down specifically.

So apparently 60 animated white ninja shorts based on the white ninja web comic aired on Vine, does anyone have any idea where they are now?

This place says season 2 is available on toonstar, but I didn't even know what that is.

I checked their website but there's nothing, like not even links anywhere to anything so I could poke around the site at all.

This is probably still my favorite title. We learn more about crayak, the ellimist, see erek in action, are given deep and significant insight into the moral implications of yeerk evolution, it's an absolutely devastating blow to the might and combined strategy of the animorphs, and the ending is devastating and satisfying.

And the design of the howlers is super cool.

And I like The Lion King and it opens with The Lion King play being frozen in time by probably my favorite character the ellimist.

I love this title. This book engaged with every relevant subject in the animorphs in novel and thought-provoking ways while being filled with cool alien fights.

 

What an absolutely perfect depiction of this universe. I'm starting the second episode of season 1 now.

I really like the part where everyone seems to be asking Cassie's permission to eat the seal and she tells them off.

I think I like this book so much because in hindsight it really marks where everything begins to draw down.

This is a true survival scenario, the animorphs are absolutely miserable for a very long part of the book in stark survival mode, Rachel, sacrifices a foot to save Cassie, Marco keeps them on mission, Cassie is coming to practical terms with the limits of her ethics and a letting the rest of the group know them, or rather the rest of the Animorphs are coming to terms with what Cassie came to terms with books ago that ideals cannot always survive The realities of war, especially when you're a child soldier in that war, there's a lot of group dynamic and ethical complexity going on here that continues to its fruition by the end of the series.

And they also get to morph polar bears and kick ass at the end of the book.

 

I don't know. Maybe it was because I liked hammerhead sharks so much when I was younger, but these guys are just so weird, and this book is so good.

 

Very weird that I am so old and have literally never heard this mentioned in a TV show or book or movie or anything.

In four out of five states, if you go to prison, you are literally paying for the time you spend there.

As you can guess, this results in crippling debt as soon as you're released.

The county gets back a fraction of what they hold over your head the rest of your life until you commit suicide(or die naturally and peacefully with the sword of damocles hanging over your head).

$20-$80 a day according to Rutgers.

Counties apparently sue people and employ wage garnishment to get back the money that majority of people obviously cannot pay back.
