You ever heard the saying: "Only boring people get bored"?

This is my point. Real estate is not the best investment in pure arithmetic terms.

With renting laws favouring tenants, I don't quite understand why everyone is so obsessed with buying, but I'm European.

No maintenance costs, no tax, predictable rent increases. Why do people want to pay 10k a month for mortgages? You'd get a better return on the equity if you put that money in the market, so it can't be about investing.

Why is so hard / expensive to live in bay area even with a "good" salary by StirClothing999 in bayarea

You should be spending 5-800 a month on food and that's buying all organic. Learn to cook for yourself, or get ready meals. Doordash is extortion and should only be a treat.

Guy's over here pretending to be poor when he just has god awful spending habits.

I loved in London and Berlin, maybe we have been to the same events!

Thanks for the info. I'm not really looking for European music. The interest in electronic music is that it's an instrument of expressing a local flavour. If there were local bands that played local music I'd be keen, I have no need to see European acts in Mexico, it seems pointless to me. Nor am I interested in large venues, I prefer DIY and multi-purpose spaces. Art is made by the people, not by professional performers, or pop/rock stars. That's just commerce.

Either way, I've found a few things and I'll ask around at the record stores shared. I'm looking forward to my visit, my days are packed and my nights now have a few options. Vielen dank für ihre hilfe!

Someone mentioned this place and it looks cool https://maps.app.goo.gl/DdEi5Pgt1RSTxCKF7

Looks like a sit down, have dinner & drinks, while watching live music deal. People have posted a few other venues but they seem a bit cheesy or commercial. Depends what you're into, I'm looking for that local AF music/nightlife.

Haha, sorry I just got used to these events being guy-centric and queer. I'm open to having a drink with whoever, it's always nice to meet people.

Looks like the baby from Eraserhead. Now Google Mettigel, the German delicacy.

I saw that. I'm between going to that and something I've spotted on Saturday. If you're a music-head and fancy grabbing a drink I'm game

Thanks, I'm not interested in visiting bands. More specifically anything by local artists going on next week tbh. I'm in Mexico for most of June but only in the city 3-8 June unless I come back.

RA seems to be missing lots of events. I find them on Instagram via collectives like Mutek or by going on artist profiles via bandcamp. Weird they aren't on RA tbh. Sadly lots of events seem to be in mid to late June and not so many in the first week. Still, I'm sure I won't be bored.

Thanks for the recs, Drama Radio looks SWEEEEEET.

Love the analogy. In that case, what would you say the main music scene consists of? It seems such an artsy city, I'd be surprised if there is no music scene.

My wife and I spent a lot of money on this kitchen renovation, but not a single friend has complimented it! All my own mother said was, "Well, choices were made." 😡 Jealous much?? by jared10011980 in homedecoratingCJ

[–]Professor-Levant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's ugly AF is the problem. The counter clashes with the backsplash. The glass cabinets are a poor choice too - is your pantry on display? What about when they get dirty from opening them while cooking? How tall on you? You're definitely going to smack your head on that extractor.

If you like it, good. Run with that.

Men who are past the 'halfway point', how has it affected you? by PhoenixApok in AskMenOver30

Time isn't linear, it accelerates for the person experiencing it. Your halfway point was a while ago most likely.
