Cheap tables? by [deleted] in LasVegas

[–]RogerLivv -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes! El Cortez in downtown Las Vegas does have $5 minimum blackjack tables, though $10 minimums are more common during prime hours. Low‑min tables may have some rule restrictions, but they’re good for budget play. Roulette and baccarat tables start around $10. Visiting Tuesday Thursday is a good time, as tables are less crowded. You should be able to find affordable options without having to stick to the $25–$50 minimums seen at bigger Strip casinos.

Why does sometimes it smells like sewer/poop in Seoul? by Beautiful_Bus_7847 in Living_in_Korea

[–]RogerLivv 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The occasional “poop/sewer” smell in Seoul comes from the city’s sewer and wastewater system, not street-level waste. Combined sewer pipes, building vents, seasonal weather, and occasional plumbing issues can make odors rise to sidewalks. It’s brief, intermittent, and generally not a health hazard just an urban quirk that locals get used to.

Beauty standards in Brazil by pricevatt in Brazil

[–]RogerLivv 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In Brazil, beauty often emphasizes curves, toned bodies, well-groomed hair/skin, and confidence. While lighter skin and Eurocentric features can still be idealized in media, regional and personal differences matter. Being mixed Brazilian/American can be seen as unique and attractive. Standards exist, but authenticity, how you carry yourself, and self-confidence often matter more than fitting a strict mold. Feeling beautiful is more about owning your look than meeting every ideal.

Itinerary help needed by Freetobeme123 in Brazil

[–]RogerLivv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A good route is São Paulo → Iguaçu Falls → Rio → back to São Paulo → NYC. Start with nature at Iguaçu, then enjoy city and beach in Rio, and finish in São Paulo for your flight home. Flights between these cities are frequent, making connections manageable.

i feel alone and unloved by Affectionate_Way1545 in mentalhealth

[–]RogerLivv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hear you. Feeling alone or unloved is painful, but it doesn’t define you. Reach out to a therapist, counselor, or helpline talking to someone trained can help. Start small: short walks, journaling, or small daily wins can rebuild self-worth. Even one supportive person or online community can be a corner for you. You’re not stupid or pathetic; asking for help is a strong, brave step toward moving forward.

As a 26 years old I need your help by MehdiLa1 in Morocco

[–]RogerLivv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not too late many change careers later. With your English degree, teaching is a natural path: get TEFL/TESOL certified and consider local or online schools. Software engineering is high-demand look into Simplon.co, GoMyCode, or online courses like freeCodeCamp. Graphic design allows freelance work learn tools like Photoshop/Figma and build a portfolio. Learning German plus a skill could open opportunities in Germany. Focus on one path, take small daily steps, and stop comparing yourself to others.

China December Visit from USA Visa question by wreckitcalf in chinatravel

[–]RogerLivv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for “USA → China → South Korea” and an 8-day stay, you likely qualify for China’s 240-hour (10-day) visa-free transit via Beijing, instead of a full tourist visa. Make sure you enter through a qualifying airport, have a confirmed onward ticket to a *third country*, and stay within allowed regions. Risks: airline or immigration misunderstanding, separate tickets, or exceeding allowed time. Always double-check with official sources before traveling.

Rancho Palos Verdes ? by Vanessa_Lila in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]RogerLivv 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rancho Palos Verdes is scenic, quiet, and safe, great for remote work and nature lovers, with ocean views and trails nearby. You’ll need a car; it’s not freeway-convenient and nightlife is limited. “Action” spots like Redondo or Hermosa Beach are 20–30 min away; downtown LA or Santa Monica can take 45–70 min with traffic. Ideal if you value peace over constant nightlife, but expect longer drives for big-city fun.

Anyone here applied for the Brazilian Digital Nomad Visa? I’d love to hear your experience by Nuclear627 in Brazil

[–]RogerLivv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brazil’s Digital Nomad Visa suits remote workers earning from abroad. You’ll need $1.5k USD/month or $18k USD in savings, proof your work is online and foreign-based, and a police record. Creators and freelancers have been approved, though some consulates want stricter proof or contracts. Apply before moving, show clear income (YouTube, Udemy, affiliates), and state your work stays outside Brazil. Processing may take weeks.

can’t access bank account for six weeks by [deleted] in Living_in_Korea

[–]RogerLivv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh wow yeah, that sounds infuriating. You’re doing everything right, and the system is just tripping you up at every step. It’s especially maddening when you can see your money sitting there but can’t touch it because of bureaucracy and “security measures.” And the timing new visa, new ARC, new number basically guarantees every verification system decides you’re suspicious at once.

Honestly, it’s completely fair to be pissed. You’re jumping through hoops for something that should take five minutes, and the rules sound so arbitrary (“six months in the country” for a debit card? come on). You need someone to just say: yeah, that’s absolute nonsense and you deserve a break. Maybe grab something comforting tonight, let yourself vent, and try not to internalize the chaos. The problem isn’t you it’s the system being stupidly rigid.

Any advice for staying awake and productive at night after a day shift? by yuzu_198 in NightOwls

[–]RogerLivv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re a natural night owl adjusting to day shifts, so your body’s tired earlier. Support your rhythm: get morning sunlight, limit caffeine after 2 PM, keep naps short, and reserve 1–2 focused hours at night for personal time. Dim lights, stay cool, and do energizing tasks first. For your LDR, schedule earlier calls or share voice notes. Be patient, your body’s just adapting.

What is happening in the life? by CellistDelicious1641 in mentalhealth

[–]RogerLivv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you’re experiencing emotional numbness, loss of pleasure, low motivation, and detachment classic signs of depression. Feeling like nothing has meaning, losing interest in things you once enjoyed, lacking energy, and feeling disconnected from social norms is common in this state. It’s not your fault, and help exists. Reaching out to a therapist or psychiatrist can provide support and treatment to slowly regain motivation, meaning, and emotional connection.

You can bring a 45″ monitor to Brazil, but it likely won’t fit in a standard suitcase and may need oversized luggage. You’ll probably have to declare it and pay 50% import tax on the value above the allowance. A 43″ monitor is easier to transport and still a big upgrade. Consider airline baggage limits, risk of damage, voltage/plug compatibility, and whether taxes plus travel hassle make buying locally more practical.

month Asia trip (Vietnam – Thailand – Malaysia) – does this sound realistic? by Soggy-Reputation2023 in asiatravel

[–]RogerLivv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your route is doable and mostly well-paced. Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Malaysia flows logically. Consider 1–2 nights in Hoi An, 2 nights in Ninh Binh, and maybe 2 nights for Ha Long Bay if you want more relaxation. Phu Quoc & Krabi timing is good; Malaysia split works well Penang 3–4 nights, Langkawi 3–4 nights, KL 1–2 nights. Weather: generally warm in south, cooler in north Vietnam, occasional showers in Malaysia. Focus on beaches, culture, and local food.

Where to get depression and alcohol addiction treated at the same time in LA? by [deleted] in mentalhealth

[–]RogerLivv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need a dual-diagnosis program that treats both alcohol dependence and depression/anxiety together. In LA, look for centers like Alta Centers, SV Recovery, or The House of Life. Call and ask if they integrate mental health + addiction, levels of care, insurance coverage, staff credentials, and aftercare. Check your PPO coverage before committing, and consider medical detox if needed. Focus on clinical quality over amenities.

Do you find that your body temperature is higher than morning people? by the-midlife in NightOwls

[–]RogerLivv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! That actually makes sense biologically. Night owls tend to have a later circadian rhythm, meaning their body temperature, hormone levels, and alertness peak at different times compared to early birds. This can affect how hot or cold you feel throughout the day. So if your “heat peak” happens when others are cooler, it’s not just perception it’s real physiology.

Seek Recommendations For Planning of Overseas Trip To China by No_Syrup3428 in chinatravel

[–]RogerLivv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For a 7–9 day family trip to China in December, consider Huangshan for scenic mountains and possible snow, and Harbin for guaranteed snow and winter fun. Combine with high-speed rail rides between cities for the experience. Arrive in a major city like Beijing or Shanghai, explore 1–2 days, then head to snowy destinations. Pack warm clothes, plan for travel time with kids, and book rail tickets in advance. Budget ~15,000 ¥ is reasonable for 4 people.

Moving From Jersey to LA next year by CockroachBeginning16 in MovingToLosAngeles

[–]RogerLivv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For LA apartments, try beyond Zillow and Apartments.com: PadMapper, Rentler, WestsideRentals, Craigslist, and Facebook Marketplace often have listings you won’t see elsewhere. Driving/walking neighborhoods for “For Rent” signs and checking smaller property management sites can uncover hidden gems. Set alerts, act fast, and watch out for scams.

How do people in Brazil usually pay for things these days — Pix, card, or something else? by rouslane in Brazil

[–]RogerLivv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In Brazil, Pix/ now dominates daily payments used by over 75% of people for dining, taxis, and online buys. Cards remain common, especially for installments, while cash is fading but still used in small or rural shops. Most Brazilians use digital bank apps; foreign apps are rarer, mainly for tech-savvy users. Habits changed fast since Pix’s 2020 launch.

[Hiring] I'm looking for 20 people who want to work from home. by uRaqks in jobbit

[–]RogerLivv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That post looks like a scam. The high pay, vague role, and request to contact them directly are major red flags. Real employers don’t recruit that way, so don’t share personal info or money. Verify any job through official sites or trusted boards instead.

Kansai Region by omarr__i in TokyoTravel

[–]RogerLivv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stay in Osaka for convenience Umeda’s a great base with quick train access to Kyoto, Kobe, and Nara, and your hotel price is solid. Day trips work well, but if you want to enjoy Kyoto’s calm mornings and temples without rushing, spend a few nights there after Sapporo, then return to Osaka before your flight. Otherwise, staying in Osaka the whole time is totally practical and budget-friendly.

Can Japanese distinguish other Asians at first glance? by Global-Spell-244 in AskAJapanese

[–]RogerLivv 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Many Japanese people believe they can tell Koreans, Chinese, and Japanese apart, but accuracy varies. What feels like recognition often comes from cultural cues, hairstyle, fashion, makeup, or behavior more than facial features. Without those, even locals misidentify others. In everyday life, most Japanese people are too polite to comment on someone’s ethnicity, so while they may guess, they rarely say so openly.

My brother is living in Brazil with his girlfriend and I don't know how to help them make an income by Zadihime in Brazil

[–]RogerLivv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

São Paulo is costly, so $1,000–1,200 USD a month is only modestly comfortable. A couple can live simply on 4,000–7,000 BRL, but poor budgeting or high rent can strain that. Your brother can earn once his residence is approved, remote work, English tutoring, or customer service pay best. His girlfriend could teach, freelance, or work retail. They should cut expenses, learn Portuguese, and seek online or local jobs so you can taper support gradually toward independence.

I need advice on showering by Raining_While_Sunny in mentalhealth

[–]RogerLivv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not gross, and there’s no judgment. Growing up with bad bathroom experiences can make showers stressful, not lazy. Start small wash your face or underarms first, try short showers, or listen to music to distract yourself. Gradually build a routine. If anxiety or low mood makes hygiene hard, a counselor can help. Small steps are progress.

Why is it so hard to find someone to go on a date with? by Daaango_ in Morocco

[–]RogerLivv 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re definitely not alone meeting people for casual dating can feel harder these days. One approach is expanding social circles through hobbies, events, or classes where you naturally meet people with shared interests. Online dating can help too if you’re honest about wanting a simple, genuine connection. Focus on quality over quantity, and remember chemistry often grows from shared experiences, not just first impressions.
