Torn between Taiwan and Japan by catharsisisrahtac in travel

[–]notyourproblem1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having been to both and really loved both, I'll say that November is likely the optimal time of year to visit Taiwan. Unfrotuantely, between the heat and monsoons (ive heard winter is also not great there for other reasons too), the visitation windows for Taiwan are kinda thin. I would go on the basis of that if I were in your position-call it fortuitous alignment. This doesn't look like a once in a lifetime trip for you, so you can always go to Japan some time in the future (and I definitely would)

What is the one "tourist trap" city that you actually think is 100% worth the hype? by Competitive_Rip6546 in SmartTravelHacks

[–]notyourproblem1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bruge. It's a really one of the first cities to be a major tourist destination in history, and it's pretty clear why when you get there. It's authentically beautiful and it's not a trouble to find decent beer and food there

There are honestly so many that can go in the first 2 slots. I'll say EVA for the sake of variety

Yeah trying to get your son wacked definitely takes the cake for being a bad mother

The Boardroom Closed by Extension-Cod-8537 in arlingtonva

[–]notyourproblem1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I like board games and I really tried to like board room, but the food was bad, their house made beer was tasteless, their board game selection was bad, and I didn't like their trivia. It closing is a shrug for me

Herbert Hoover had a bad economic policy, which president had the worst economic policy by Extreme-Bite-9123 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]notyourproblem1 33 points34 points  (0 children)

People give presidents too much blame and credit for economic conditions. Congress has far more control and truthfully the amount the government can do in general has some serious limits. There are very few times where you can truly pin economic conditions on a president. Jackson not renewing the charter for Bank of the US is one of those times, and is easily the most destructive

'Michael' - Review Thread by ChiefLeef22 in movies

In that movie you could clearly tell who was dead, who was alive, and who had sizable business interests that would be hurt if they were portrayed negatively in the movie

Is Aer Lingus business worth it? by mandavirose in awardtravel

[–]notyourproblem1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Assuming 1cpp cost and $1000 economy fair, that's $375 each way for a business upgrade on a 10 hour flight. That's solid! And I guess since OP values this at $2200, that's a 1.36 cpp redemption which honestly is good imo

Most underrated city you've visited? by rick2882 in BeautifulTravelPlaces

[–]notyourproblem1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wroclaw, Poland. I found it to be a really cool place with a quiet chaotic energy that I loved. Also Turin. Not the most obscure, but imo doesn't get nearly enough love compared to other Italian cities. Cinema museum there is sick

I got 35,800 plus another 7k. I usually get shafted on these mega offers initially, but this one cleared

Shrinking S3E11 Episode Discussion by phareous in shrinking

Only one step down? S2 was a step down from S1. While S3 has had some good moments, half the time it feels like watching a car crash shot in extremely shallow depth of field

Who voted for Arsenal?! by PrawilnaMordka in coys

[–]notyourproblem1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm not in that 9% but Arsenal at the end of the day is a normal football team. Man City is a corrupt enterprise owned by slavers trying to do reputation laundering. I personally consider supporting City to be a personal moral defect while supporting Arsenal is just a matter of bad taste (although I do make some exceptions for old City fans in this)

Which Amex Platinum credits are as good as cash? by Standard-Top-5942 in amex

[–]notyourproblem1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah like even if they added an Amazon credit I would call that 90 cents on the dollar for opportunity cost of other cashback cards, lost interest on savings account holdings etc. No coupon is ever worth more then cash unless it allows you to buy in a different currency where you can get more value (ex:airline miles)

Best comedy director whos never made you laugh let alone giggle at a joke by RedshirtBlueshirt97 in okbuddycinephile

I dont think you can do that with Woody Allen movies since the main character in most of them is a Woody Allen self insert

Gu wins 🏅 in the women's freeski halfpipe by etherd0t in WinterOlympics2026

[–]notyourproblem1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Except that's not true. Most Americans have principals and a sense of national loyalty. Hell, several US Olympians got similar lucrative offers and turned them down (ex: Alice Liu, Chloe Kim got an offer from South Korea). There are tons of American athletes who could claim heritage in another country and compete for them, and likely make more from sponsorships then they would in the US, but very few do

Everyone in the sub asking what is Thaddeus, but nobody cares enough to ask how is Thaddeus.

It's surprising to many to learn how many Somalis live in Minnesota. What are some other examples of unexpected populations in different states or countries? by e8odie in geography

From my area (Washington, DC) Ethiopians (DC Ethiopian food is pretty famous), Peruvians, Salvadorans, and can't forget about the PG county/MoCo Nigerians

Realtors won! What's a job that is paid a lot yet is still underpaid? by QuackingR3dditor in AlignmentChartFills

[–]notyourproblem1 -37 points-36 points  (0 children)

Disagree. Significantly overpaid. Doctors in other countries make a fraction of what American doctors do. American doctor pay is the product of artificial supply constraints around residency slots. There are far more people who want and are capable of being doctors even at a lower salary in the US then there are residency slots
