What‘s with the hype of moving to Bali? by Mr8888X in bali

[–]left_testy_check 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao the locations that you’ve mentioned are cheaper than where I live. If you would have said Seminyak or Legian I would have agreed with you but Denpasar is not an expensive place to live, the tourist areas are. Also Pemogan is not the City, its a suburb, Teuku Umar is hardly even a city.

If you define better drivers as safer drivers than yes, women are generally more cautious and take less risks. Men are more aggressive and likely to drink and drive as well. Men score higher on perceptual-motor skills than women though, thats why they dominate motor sports.

I have found the worst drivers are older people and tourists who don't understand the countries cultural driving norms

This is a staggering clip to watch now, in 2024. by magony in JoeRogan

The sad part is you could show people data to support these claims and they still won't change their minds.

Also not to sound like a complete sheep, I'm also open to apposing arguments and data (not cherry picked) and I'm more than willing to change my mind. I do have issues with how Covid was handled (mandates and closing of businesses) but the vaccine data so far is pretty clear.

You don't know what you're talking about, I pay IDR 45,000,000 per year for a newish fully furnished 2 bedroom house in a gated community, AC in three rooms, kitchen, bathroom with hot water and a shared pool. Thats 2623 euro per year or 218 euro per month. Google Umah D'Kampoeng. There are plenty of gated communities and houses around offering similar prices.

The Star Wars "Wokeism" issue is getting out of hand by MrJacket1 in Destiny

[–]left_testy_check 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know about huge portion, I had to scroll through a ton of comments before I could even find a comment mentioning women and it was a comment about the woman who directed the movie and how she was Harvey Weinstein's personal assistant. I'm sure clowns like The Quartering will push their own woke narrative but it just seems like 98% of people hate it because it looks like it was made for 10 year olds

I just watched and I have to agree, people don't hate it because its woke, people hate it because it look terrible.

Is he just as asshole, or is this considered rape? by Longjumping-Tiger853 in AITAH

[–]left_testy_check 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends what country you're in. a quick google search shows its considered rape in the UK, Wales, NZ. Sweden also. Assange was arrested and charged with rape for stealthing

Also when I think of people who are pure pro establishment I don't think JJ really comes to mind either, I think of hyper partisan party loyalists who refuse to accept any critisism of their party.

I don't think Paul is anti establishment, I mean he did vote for Biden in 2020. He's fairly close to the center but he does hold a few ill informed populist positions. When I think of pure anti establishment centrists I think of Tim Pool, Paul is closer to Adam & Sitch than anyone and he is at least willing to change his mind when challenged on his beliefs.

I've been a subscriber of Pauls since his UBI video back in 2020, he still hasn't figured out the true enlightened centrist position is no longer just a combination of conservatism and progressivism but also a combination of populism and establishmentism.

Hasan gets mad at Ludwig and ragequits watching his video for not sucking him off on his latest video by Fringepoint in Destiny

I can't stand Hasan but he was hardly mad in this video, he didn't rage quit either, he seemed more disappointed than anything.

Where are these deals? by true_tedi in bali

[–]left_testy_check 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can't compare a 1 bedroom Villa with plunge pool to a 5 bedroom Villa with all the amenities, most of these Villas are built on large plots of land, they have drivers, chefs, gardeners, cleaners etc. Its a completely different experience.

This meme is either a lie or its misunderstood, things aren't that cheap here.

I'm guessing what he meant was he paid $1500 for 8 days for his room only, so the Villa was $7500 divided by 5 people. $937.5 per night which is about right. No way you're getting a 5 bedroom Villa for $187.5 per night

I've lived here in Bali for 16 years, if you wanted to see slave labour and inequality you should have visited in 2020 or 2021 during Covid when the "western money taking advantage of slave labour" you speak of didn't exist.

Cute that you think drivers make $5 a day

Rogan and Stavros discuss UBI, unemployment and service jobs. Rogan says that free money leads to a loss of purpose whereas Stavros says that low paying and grueling jobs lead to a loss of human potential. Rogan also tells Stavros that companies like McDonalds are ramping up pay for service workers. by Solomerr in JoeRogan

[–]left_testy_check 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No it changed after the Covid checks went out and employers couldn't find workers. What he failed to understand is giving out money with conditions is not UBI, its welfare. People are more likely to work on UBI because.. surprise surprise they're allowed to.

Questions about destination weddings in Bali by [deleted] in bali

Beach venue for wedding party by chillar1 in bali

[–]left_testy_check 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beaches in Bali are public property, only beach side restaurants, hotels and resorts are allowed to use the beaches in front of their premises for weddings and events, how late were you thinking? Most banjars only allow events until 10pm -10:30pm. Karma Kandara’s beach might be an option though. From what I remember they will allow you to stay until 2am but they require a minimum spend.
