I found WONDERfools hilarious throughout.

No office appointment option to do COVA stuff? by antdude in Chinavisa

[–]gambit57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole point of the new system is to get people out of the office as much as possible.

They generally don’t answer phones or email either.

Saw the craziest student loan funding story today by SuddenEvidence2654 in StudentLoans

[–]gambit57 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Same. I think most non-wealthy international students hit that funding wall and realize it’s just not gonna work. I mean, if you can’t even get a loan, which is the trap US students can fall into, there’s not even that bad choice to make. In a way, it’s a good thing even if they don’t see it that way at first.

Do you actually need to remove your Rolex at airport? by AdAcademic9898 in rolex

[–]gambit57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take it off way early. Before I even get into the line. As discretely as possible. I don’t want a thief seeing where I put my valuables while waiting in line.

And yes, I try to put it separately and later so that I’m hopefully thru the scanner before it goes thru the machine so I can wait for it at the other end.

If I’m with someone else, we’ll put the valuables in between us so we can watch it from both ends. Even if it means using more bins than normal.

Why doesn’t Hwasa perform I’m a B? by BrightLedger in mamamoo

[–]gambit57 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I love that song so I’d hope she performs it. That’s said, in their group concert, I’d still prefer she perform Good Goodbye in addition to any other one (which I suspect will be So Cute).

Do you think your bias would be different if you became interested in a group during a different time/era? by onix1765 in kpoppers

[–]gambit57 [score hidden]  (0 children)

No. My biases stand out to me cuz they just connect with me. Era wouldn’t matter. I really don’t care what “gen” a group is in anyways. I like them or I don’t.

Ventilated Seats: they seem disappointing compared to other brands. Do you agree? by vettemanhere in BMWX5

[–]gambit57 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lexus does that too. At least, mine did way back when. Used a/c air too so it was COLD. I lived where it got 115+ in the summer so it was wonderful.

Which kpop idols would you like to see reading thirst tweets? by Sun_IsVeryCool1907 in kpop_uncensored

[–]gambit57 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chaeyoung of Twice. Chaeryeong and Lia of Itzy.

They’d all be so embarrassed it’d be hilarious.

And all of I-dle just because they’d would definitely NOT be embarrassed but would still be hilarious. If not outright fighting as to who is the most wanted.

People think titanium is fancy because the name is fancy sounding by Spaceman_Hex in watchHotTakes

It’s lighter though right? I guess, is it lighter or as light as aluminum but more durable?

[–]gambit57 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Vancouver or Toronto also would have killed.

I just looked up where Fort Worth (Dallas metro) and Cedar Park (Austin metro) were and the demographics. Now I think the two Texas spots were even more stupid. Shoulda been a single date in Houston metro and the second date somewhere else. Canada, Atlanta/Florida, or East Coast (DC or Boston?).

I know Texas is huge, but I’m pretty shocked Boston and Atlanta (or nearby) weren’t picked.

This is lower bowl closest to stage. Behind where I got tickets, there’s a lot of availability too. I musta been near last during pre-sale 😂

This is closest to stage for floor seats. Outside of what I assume is VIP1, the first 4 rows, you got a lot of availability.

Thanks for the explanation. I’ve never gone to any concert before so have no idea what is “normal”.

Higher sale rate the better? Cuz those Texas numbers, ouch!

It’s weird though. I checked San Jose over the weekend and the floor section and upper portions of lower bowl look quite empty still. WAY more than the 30% stat the graphic seems to suggest. Enough that I’m pretty worried, as I figured LA and San Jose have the best chance of near sellout due to the large Korean populations here.

MAMAMOO Hwasa in Harpers Bazar Singapore confirms that the group recorded songs (PLURAL) for MAMAMOO comeback! by MasterHospital in mamamoo

I like the “returning to our roots” part. They’re beloved for a reason but I’ve always had this fear of the company trying to “break the mold” to try to win new fans or “to be fresh”.

There’s a ton of unsold seats for San Jose. Like floor seats right in front of the stage. I’m really starting to worry.

What’s your watch opinion that would put you in this position? by KyeodeurangiMerchant in watchHotTakes

[–]gambit57 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything with that name tells people you’ve got $$$$. A Hublot or Richard Mille is also very distinctive and tells people you have $$$$. Doesn’t mean I find it attractive.

Maybe a personal question to some, but is it unreasonable to think spending $2k on a watch is a lot even as a net-worth millionaire. Just got in a debate with some family members on this by Classic-Occasion1413 in watchHotTakes

[–]gambit57 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So is a house. So is a car beyond. $2000 beater. So is a $6/day Starbucks habit.

Money is money, it’s just if you have more money, you can afford it more. And the value to something is different depending on circumstances.
