ugh christ I couldn't watch that for more than a second or two. I don't know if the video is more upsetting or the people in the comments blaming her/claming that she's "just as bad as the foreigners"
uuuggghhhhhhhhhhhh

Anyway, if I remember correctly there was a dude in Ulsan repairing electronics and reselling them for a charity? I've got a big flatscreen monitor that sometimes drops connection that I'd like to send his way. Is that still going on?

It is disgusting yeah. Comments as well are pretty bad with a lot of people blaming the girl. I showed it to my girlfriend and even she was saying it's just as much the girls fault. Not that you wouldn't have a lot of the same reactions in the west though if the roles were reversed. Victim blaming happens everywhere.

So yeah, people like to bitch about Korean ineptitude. Seems like the cabin crew were very professional in the recent San Francisco plane crash.

http://www.philly.com/philly/news/20130708_ap_ab83a497d06c40ecb14a38fd348cdcc6.html?c=r

Asiana attendant describes dramatic evacuation

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) - The evacuation of Asiana flight 214 began badly. Even before the mangled jetliner began filling with smoke, two evacuation slides on the doors inflated inside the cabin instead of outside, pinning two flight attendants to the floor.

Cabin manager Lee Yoon-hye, apparently the last person to leave the burning plane, said crew members deflated the slides with axes to rescue their colleagues, one whom seemed to be choking beneath the weight of a slide.

It was just one of the moments of drama described Sunday by Lee of a remarkable evacuation that saved 305 of the 307 people on the plane that crashed Saturday while landing in San Francisco.

One flight attendant put a scared elementary schoolboy on her back and slid down a slide, said Lee, in the first comments by a crew member since the crash of the Boeing 777. A pilot helped another injured flight attendant off the plane after the passengers had escaped. Lee herself worked to put out fires and usher passengers to safety despite a broken tailbone that kept her standing throughout a news briefing with mostly South Korean reporters at a San Francisco hotel. She said she didn't know how bad she was hurt until a doctor at a San Francisco hospital later treated her.

Aviation and airline officials said although the pilot had previously flown a Boeing 777 nine times - for a modest 43 hours in total - it was the first time he was landing that wide-bodied jet into San Francisco. Investigators have said he tried to abort the landing and go back up in the air after realizing he was flying too slow and too low but failed.

Lee, 40, who has nearly 20 years' experience with Asiana, said she knew seconds before impact that something was wrong with the plane.

"Right before touchdown, I felt like the plane was trying to take off. I was thinking 'what's happening?' and then I felt a bang," Lee said. "That bang felt harder than a normal landing. It was a very big shock. Afterward, there was another shock and the plane swayed to the right and to the left."

After the captain ordered an evacuation, Lee said she knew what to do. "I wasn't really thinking, but my body started carrying out the steps needed for an evacuation," Lee said. "I was only thinking about rescuing the next passenger."

When Lee saw that the plane was burning after the crash, she was calm. "I was only thinking that I should put it out quickly. I didn't have time to feel that this fire was going to hurt me," she said.

Lee said she was the last person off the plane and that she tried to approach the back of the aircraft before she left to make sure that no one was left inside. But when she moved to the back of the plane, a cloud of black, toxic smoke made it impossible. "It looked like the ceiling had fallen down," she said.

More than a third of the people onboard didn't require hospitalization, and only a small number were critically injured.

The San Francisco fire chief, Joanne Hayes-White, praised the cabin manager, who she talked to just after the evacuation.

"She was so composed I thought she had come from the terminal," Hayes-White told reporters in a clip posted to YouTube. "She wanted to make sure that everyone was off. ... She was a hero."

The landing though... :ughh:

This is true about almost all pilots of any nationality.

Flight hours are incredibly, viciously expensive unless you get them for free by way of an extracurricular gig with a government and they're the main thing that determines seniority, which is what airlines mostly hire according to. Flight school is worse than culinary school in terms of out of pocket investment vs. payoff.

The A/T pilot thread is more depressing than the law school one.

Well, I'm on my phone now so it's hard to go into detail but basically she lives with me now, is taking this way too seriously, really wants to get married and like... I'm totally not that serious.

She's pretty much said if I leave her it will completely destroy her, and she's deeply in love with me or something. And I haven't don't anything to help any if this because I'm kind if a scumbag and can't say no to girls unless they're fat.

Also she's going through a major religious crisis because she's "lost control" with me (her words.)

The hardest thing though is that I actually feel kind of guilty over this one.

She was coming over and cooking me breakfast, then coming over again and cooking me dinner.

Then I was trying to score so I was all like "don't leave yet, you are so beautiful blahblahblah" and so she didn't. Then next day the security guard comes up to give me her parking passes (guessing she went down to ask for them and of course the guard has to give them to me) and she just never left.

Which like, is kind of cool. I'm eating well I guess.

On top of all that, remember that time I was super drunk and vomits up all that blood and ended up in the icu or whatever? Turns out insurance wouldn't pay for it, it was between jobs so maybe that. 150,000₩. So they kept hassling me but I was like gently caress it, the monthly late fee is basically nothing.

So now they're threatening Korean collections agency or whatever on me. So much stress and all I wanna do is play videogames :/

The bill can't be more than 1mil by now. Just loving handle it.

As per your other problem, is it really a problem? Your life is a huge roller coaster of stupid poo poo. You're regularly mentioning that you lose consciousness and wake up in strange places with strange bruises. You have, on multiple times, turned to (somewhat) complete strangers, in an attempt to have us decide how to live your life, like a deleted scene in Being John Malkovich.

It seems to me that most of your decisions are based on being a child. They seem poorly thought out. But here, you have someone who not only agreed to put up with you, but went the next step and got parking passes. In your own hosed up way, she brings balance. Plus, she's making you meals, and maybe keeping your apartment clean. I mean, are you still washing your dishes in the shower? Will she put up with it? I think you may have a good thing going, but just don't realize it yet. Figure out the love part down the line I suppose?

It is pretty pathetic when you are choosing a mate based on her ability to take care of you because you cannot clean your own dishes or handle being blitzed. You really need to grow the gently caress up, everyone one else thinks it's funny in a pathetic way but I just think you are the kind of person that causes Koreans to hate on foriegners so much. Sorry to get so real.

Hold up, when did I say I was doing this? She makes my food and it's nice but I am (admittedly, in a very immature way) dealing with a situation where I really do like this girl but where there's tons of things that aren't right, and I'm genuinely concerned because I don't really want to hurt her but she's gotten way too overattached in [i]a couple weeks[/]. I don't think I even brought up her "taking care of me" besides casually mentioning that she cooks me breakfast and dinner. And doing that's a cool thing. It's a side note to what's going on.

And I can clean my own dishes, I do clean my own dishes. Just, sometimes in the shower which gently caress you guys is amazing. I try not to let it build up though, do the use a dish clean a dish sort of thing. Sometimes life just gets in the way though.

And unless you're stone sober I probably drink less than you.

AP, youre probably right man but I'm not really going to make a decision like that after dating a girl for a few weeks. Even if she was perfect.

She actually did leave tonight though to do some soul searching or whatever. She plans on coming back in the morning.

Like, that's all the dude really posts.

If it is true, though - really, any of it - you shouldn't be in Korea. You should go back home as soon as possible and get yourself into therapy. You habitually make like the most boneheaded decisions possible and sooner than later you're going to break this girl's heart (who definitely does not seem like the most stable person either). I assume you'll just eventually be deported anyway when you fail to pay your bills for long enough.

Braindance, look at the positives.

First of all, she clearly likes you in a way not many other women have. She's willing to put up with your issues and is helping you eat much healthier. Sure she has her flaws, but don't we all. Maybe you should give her a chance, you don't want to miss a great possible opportunity. Look things could certainly be worse, she could be trying to kill you are get you deported. Count your blessings.

On the issue with collections. They did manage to keep you from dying, which is a huge positive. The fee you have to pay is but a small price for your life. Imagine the cost to you if you were in an America hospital.

Life isn't a series of disasters even if it feels that way sometimes. Chin up bro.

How unfairly droll.

My advice is mainly for the girl's sake, but BrainDance, I can't express enough how much it helps to communicate clearly and efficiently with her (which is problematic because she doesn't speak the same native language as you and plus in a different culture complicates things). I mean tell her your thoughts and feelings, the same you told us. Multiple times. At least once in Korean, if you can. Approach the conversation with empathy. Try to understand where she is coming from, and why she is doing the things she does. Try to help her through her religious crisis.

As a side note, whenever I read Shakespeare, or any drama really, I just want to shake the characters and ask them "why don't you just talk you absolute fucklords this would all be easier"
