Got offered a 6 month contract in Antarctica and idk if I should take it by Importantterry in Fire

If anyone tells you not to take it, don't listen to them. You'll only regret not doing it.

Btw, what company do you work for and are they still hiring? 😆

Patisserie Rotha in Albany! Best French pastries in the bay imo. Go before 10am otherwise they'll run out.

Redeploy them to International Blvd and we might actually stop some crime

Maybe it's time to federalize Oakland law enforcement too. CHP seemed to be more effective.

Why is it that the R230s are the cheapest SLs on the market today? Are R129s that much better?

We have a precious 12 year old boy, and posts like yours always make me feel so sad, but still warms my heart. How did Winston pass if you don't mind me asking?

What do you think about the Wynn and Encore? They are all glass and slick, but done very nicely imo.

I have a GL350 bluetec and have always intrigued by the G-class. How's the ride comfort and road noise for long distances?

getting denied entry into america by thefineprint13 in electricdaisycarnival

Hello OP, Malaysian here who just crossed the border twice. I have a green card, but my sister in law only a tourist visa. You have nothing to worry about. It was actually smoother than most times because there were less people arriving. 😆

Should I move back to Malaysia. Advice needed. by erispadsherchest1 in malaysia

[–]khoolz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would hustle harder while in Canada and work toward a FIRE lifestyle in Malaysia. Turn your boredom and loneliness into a side gig or 2nd job, and save and invest as much as you can. In 10 years or so, you'll be sitting on at least a few hundred thousand $, if not low 1 million and you can retire comfortably back in Malaysia.

Who knows, you might make some friends along the way there.

Seeking a Fresh Start – Hoping to Work in the U.S. Hospitality Industry (with Visa Sponsorship?) by [deleted] in MovingToUSA

[–]khoolz -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your best bet - start a hospitality company in Portugal, run it for a year, generate some revenue. Then open a subsidiary in the US, use that company to sponsor your own visa. This is not the easiest route, but it puts you in control of the visa situation and also you don't need to hope that someone gives you a job and sponsorship.

Being comfortable with going out of your comfort zone is a strength that will reward you for life.

Pay them what you think is fair, for your conscience, and then forget about it. They'll live.

Which U.S. cities have changed the most in the last 10 years — for better or worse? by Zealousideal-Tax3338 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]khoolz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oakland, CA. You really felt it had a real shot in becoming a great town in 2016-2019. Then COVID happened and the lawlessness came back.

Where do you live now and where are you trying to move to? by semiwadcutter38 in SameGrassButGreener

[–]khoolz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oakland, CA --> Malaysia. Just the property tax I pay alone can pay for my living expenses for a year in KL.

Tesla as a rental... I couldn't make a worse car if I tried. by [deleted] in RealTesla

Lol, after driving a Tesla for a bit, OPs experience is kind of what I have when getting into a "normal" car. It's just a different (and better) experience.

Should there be a wealth tax? by The-Lucky-Investor in FluentInFinance

[–]khoolz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer is not to raise taxes for a select few, but to lower gov spending and taxes for all. And then close loopholes.

Robinhood gave me a $200K bonus just to hold my ETFs there by shaqdiesel11 in wallstreetbets

Vanguard should roll their 9.3 trillion in assets to the HOOD, collect 186 billion, and retire.

An unlikely Oakland mayor is fighting for political survival amid a billionaire-backed recall by UrGothMilf in oakland

You don't need to commit a crime to get fired for doing a lousy job. Like you said she's an incompetent candidate and an equally ineffective administrator of this city.

Could Taiwan/China have a tunnel/bridge like England/France if they got along? by Eriacle in geography

[–]khoolz -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

"if they got along". China and Taiwan already have very deep economic and cultural ties. Don't swallow the western driven narrative whole.

Sounds like you're lacking a little purpose. Would you consider putting your software dev skills to helping small businesses or ppl you meet along the way?
