(Not sure if this fits 100% here—mods, please remove if not allowed!)

Recently I've experienced some muscle growth around my thighs, and it's starting to cause some outfit issues. My thighs are constantly rubbing against my pants, and my boxer briefs keep rolling up into a tight band, leaving me stuck having to awkwardly pull them down often. It's getting pretty uncomfortable and frustrating to deal with in public.

For context, I'm 160cms and workout regularly.

For anyone who has dealt with this, do you have any practical advice or brand recommendations for: underwear recommendations, pants that fit, chafing fixes. Appreciate any help!

• The Incheon International Airport Coporatiin announced that it has installed safety fences to stop Chinese mass line-cutting.
• There have been five incidents in which dozens of Chinese people ignored control lines as soon as check-in counters opened.
• They bent over to push their bags under the barricades or rushed into restricted areas, causing chaos.
• Staff members attempting to maintain order were shoved by the crowd, suffering bruises and abrasions.

>The Ministry of Justice announced on the 21st that it granted the Skilled Worker (E-7-4) residency status to two Sri Lankan workers who rescued an Air Force fighter pilot who crashed into the West Sea. Jathuranggeu (34), Ruwan (35), and Dilip (38), all Sri Lankan nationals, came to Korea through the Employment Permit System (E-9). The three were working at a seaweed farm near the coast of Jejudong, Hwaseong City, Gyeonggi Province, on August 12, 2022, when they rescued two pilots who had to make an emergency escape due to an engine fire, along with the captain. One of the three had previously received long-term residency status, and the remaining two were granted the qualification to reside long-term on the same day. They also received a letter of appreciation in the name of the Air Force Chief of Staff on May 20, World Citizens’ Day. Justice Minister Jung Sung-ho said, “Showing proper respect to foreigners who saved citizens’ lives enhances our society’s trust,” adding, “We will continue to support foreigners who have made special contributions to our society so they can live stably in the country.”

There ya go, readers! If a fighter jet crashes near your boat or car, help the pilots out. Could be a way to skip the documents at immigration! Save the pilot, save the....visa!

I’m currently on an E-7 visa in Korea and planning to resign and return to my home country. I’ll be giving my employer the required 2-week notice, but I’m wondering how much time I have after my last working day. Can I legally stay in Korea for about one more week after my employment ends before leaving the country, or does my E-7 status end immediately once my employer reports my resignation? I don’t have visa-free entry. I’m leaving Korea permanently and won’t be looking for another job or transferring my E-7.

Pls share why you decided that move to South Korea

I am foreigner, living here for past 6 years. My 7-year-old son was playing football alone at a public park when four girls, around 8–9 years old, surrounded him and took his ball.

My wife was nearby but on the phone. When she called my son over, she saw one of the girls throw/kick the ball hard into his chest. He came home crying badly.

I took him back to the park and spoke to the girls’ mother. There was a language barrier, and she seemed to believe my son had caused the problem. However, one of the girls actually stepped forward and said another girl had hit the ball at my son and pushed him.

I told the mother that I would tell my son not to fight and only play, and asked her to tell the girls the same. We left it there.

I completely understand that children can give incomplete versions of events and that parents naturally hear a biased version from their own child.

But I’ve noticed a few times that when some Korean kids in a group of three or four, they can become quite pushy toward a child who is alone.

For parents living in Korea: have you experienced this kind of group dynamic? Is there a cultural or playground/social aspect that I may not understand? And how would you handle it if it happened again?

I have received the opportunity to permanently transfer to the Korean office at my company with a big salary cut. I have frequently visited Korea, and it's definitely somewhere that I would love to live in. I was approved for to transfer and work out of the Seoul office, however my salary would be around $90,000 CAD a huge cut... nearly halving from $170,000 CAD that I am currently making in Canada. My company would provide housing subsidies for the first year (including a relocation allowance) plus a driver for my daily commutes. I am going to be living alone and if I were to permanently relocate, I would love to eventually purchase a home there, comfortably settle in, and eventually retire within the next 20-25 years. Is this salary livable in Seoul and would I be able to save up and have leftovers to travel around in a very general lifestyle? While money isn't surely everything, with economic uncertainties constantly on the back of everyone's mind, and trying to find financial stability in a completly new country, I have lot's of worries that is in the way of making my decision.

Recently i traveled to usa and got addicted to peanutbutter m&ms
So if i want to have them again i would have to order them from overseas…
Does anyone know why they don’t sell them here

I’m a highschooler which means they can’t actually bully me but they act real fucking rude. I want to make sure they‘re annoyed by me and I’ve inconvenienced them in some way, do any of you know a good trick?

A year ago a girl was acting rude so when she was lying on the floor with her friends I put my leg on her leg and now she’s scared of me, which was nothing so I know these bitches aren’t actually shit. So it doesn‘t even have to be anything big.

i go to a all girls school

I got a friend who lives in my room for about 7 months, but he didnt change his arc address and its still in the dorm address. What will happen?

Does their internet banking come in English? How's the UI? Do they have a wide variety of banking products and services ie mortgages, credit cards etc at competitive rates? Is there customer service available in English?

Do they also have an investment arm for stocks? US stocks too?

I called two different Mirae branches today and they said they cannot make an account for a foreigner who doesn't speak Korean. Their reasoning was if they call the foreigner and they cannot properly communicate, the investment banking place might get into a trouble by the government agency. This seems to be a new policy that was put in effect according to a different Reddit post. I wonder if policy is specific to Mirae or other companies as well.

Anyway, did anyone succeed in making an investment banking account the past month, and if you did, which investment company did you make it with?
