Pain
You get up in the morning but you can't do anything. You sit in bed and are bored. Doing anything causes you too much pain. Your back hurts just lying there. No one cares. They just think you are a lazy shit. You certainly feel like a lazy shit.
Enter the cure. Its simple. Narcotics by any name. They are the tried and true cure for chronic pain and they do a great job. With them you can live a normal life. You can work and play and even if your sex drive is reduced to mostly memories.... you are living a normal life. They don't destroy your kidneys or liver, unlike like the new drugs on offer, and they actually work to control your pain without serious side affects.
The only problem is... and this is not as big an issue as it might seem as all drugs eventually fall into this category... they are addictive. WHO CARES? The choice is having a life or not. You aren't gonna go off them any time soon anyway. Narcotics save the life of those in chronic pain. They are your friend. A doctor that will prescribe them without making you feel like a heroin addict... is worth his weight in gold. Most doctors are very judgmental and want nothing to do with prescribing pain medication... they are worried about their reputation and about the current thinking about opiates... thinking based on propaganda circulated by the DEA and other police agencies to justify their jobs.
This brings up another point. Oxyneo, the current drug of choice, is expensive. Living pain-free will cost you around 5 to 10 dollars a day. Its a deal compared to the alternative but... the drug probably cost 25 cents to manufacture... Thank God our government is there to make sure our pain can be profitable to a few protected monopolies. You can be pain free if you pay the price to legitimize your pain.
Everyone will try to convince you to go off drugs. They don't care that the drug is giving you a life. They are brainwashed fools who embrace any politically correct issue with reckless stupidity. Ignore them. They have never been in pain.
God made plants. He made the opium poppy. He made it for people who live with constant pain. Its a natural and reasonable solution that as been outlawed in an attempt to increase profits to drug companies. It has been regulated using the excuse of a few individuals who use it to treat mental pain instead of physical pain... a use that most officials seem to find reprehensible. In fact, narcotics are a benign and safe cure for pain. Naturally almost everyone thinks otherwise.

Paypal
The virtually worthless entity that is completely impervious to any financial rules of conduct. They do what they want (as long as it contributes to their pocketbook) and don't care if anyone gets ripped off under their auspices. Sure try to make a claim... fat chance of it working... even unlikelier the chance of even talking to anyone about your problem.
They make the claim that you are protected... well you aren't. Their idea of protection is to lock up your account and any funds in it ... forever ( or until they claim your money for themselves as fees).
I lost 56 dollars on a Ebay purchase. Paypal told me I could not make a claim because it was over 48 days... the time I was waiting patiently for my items to arrive. Of course they know its a way for crooked sellers to screw you but they don't care. Not Interested. There is no real communication with them... just a individual in India who will explain why you are wrong and not entitled to fairness, your money back, or anything really.
You are a consumer. You are theirs to be exploited. Paypal makes that clear from the first moment you try to ask for the "protection" they promise. In a world of bullshit Paypal stands out as exploiters of the first rank

ONTESOL
I'll start off with a recent experience.
I needed a basic TESOL course and picked ONTESOL because it looked good online. I have had some experience in teaching but needed the accreditation. I figured a few weeks while things were slow in the winter and I could pick up that - no problem.
Sadly this was the wrong School to choose.
My first clue was the importance they put on grammar. Any teacher knows that most students have had years of grammar and its the last thing they need. The local teachers have it covered.
I started wondering if they knew what they were talking about when they told me I should be having class discussions with students who knew 2 words of English. Teaching plans that had no basis in reality seemed a bit off but I went along with it.
They pushed me to use online resources. That was fine even tho I preferred to make up my own material but I found I could;t get a passing grade unless I went along with 'em on this... when I did so, however, they tossed out my lesson plan claiming it was plagiarism.
Instead of contacting me to revise my lesson plan they just expelled me. Now I'm not sure but that seems to violate every concept of teaching that exists. I am there to learn... not to be a copyright lawyer.
There was no real teaching. A lot of criticism but no teaching. The tutor assigned to me had her own ideas about teaching that had nothing to do with the School's course. She seemed eager to fail students.
How about you? Please share your experiences with TESOL SCHOOLS.
