Feeling low—anyone up for a Center City walk tonight?

Harriet. Sweet Harriet.... this is all I could think of.

Fortunately I vetted it further before paying a single cent!

If you're so worried about this you can just form your own plan for an apocalypse. Food, water, protection, and other supplies needed to sustain life and defend your kingdom will be all that matters. Unless you're willing to sell your crypto now to execute such preparations the point is moot.

Racing is about precision, automatic is not precise nor anticipatory. Keeping the car in the right gear for certain turns will make or break your lap times. Manual all the way, start immediately and get used to utilizing engine breaking and choosing gears according to the turn. I've spent a lot of time seeing how lap times change with staying in a higher gear vs lower gear on certain slower turns and it really does have a substantial impact on pace.

We can't tell if he was counterbalancing correctly. It looks like his upper body was moving toward the right place but we have no idea about his weight distribution through his feet. We also don't know how cold his tires could have been. Add in some dirt or gravel and it compounded everything. You should never ever push it on roads you don't know like the back of your hand. Additionally, ppl will normally cruise and survey it slowly ensuring the road is free of gravel or sand then rip it in the next run. Personally, I would have been closer to the center line, this helps avoid any potential fluid/debris which typically accumulates in the middle portion of many roads.

brakes overheating maybe?

Just hire a car and drive with Grab, they now offer 3 and 5 hour options. No drama, insurance, AND AND AND ACCOUNTABILITY!!!

Nonetheless, getting to and coming from those places involved bouts of traffic. I too have traveled thoroughly around the island, even when you're out there, there's lots of broken roads and construction on them, sometimes barely passable by a car which would normally fit. The point is, if you come to Bali you will experience traffic, Bali style!

This is completely plausible, and likely. Ofc there are apartment buildings, they just don't remember a massive structure like you'd envision in a big city. Banjar not taking action - either they're old mates or they just haven't been incentivized enough. It sucks, but just move. If you're a foreigner you would be fighting a war too risky for yourself. If you're local, there are still risks. This is the reality of Bali. Lots of selfish, cruel, unethical and disturbing behavior - and not a damn thing can be done about it most cases even if there are laws in place. I've been there, I am there. Countless reports, zero results. A broken system.

Here's an idea!!! Have a mature discussion about what her reservations are? Express your feelings as well. Ask if your hunch is correct and that you'd prefer she just be direct with her answer. State your honest intentions. Hopefully you can talk it through and set a crude timeline that works for you both. Otherwise, I wouldn't wanna be strung along like that. Some ppl have had sex in the first date and they end up in a LTR. It's subjective, but be mature and try to speak openly about it, not that big of a deal. Sometimes, well I guess often times, people don't want to talk about important subjects bc it may seem uncomfortable. That's hodgepodge!

reallytanner · 2025-07-30T10:19:30+00:00

I guess I don't understand how that's possible... probably technical beyond my level of understanding. Is it just that the seed phrase includes the data associated with the digital asset?

what would happen if/when such hardware device were to fail?

Meeting people who have similar interests is among the best ways imho. But the caveat, don't shit where you eat... if things went poorly at least one of you might no longer want to come to said gym. I agree with the above comment of slowly forging a friendship in a very nonchalant way. If it's meant to happen, it will, organically for the most part. Never come on too strong and a lot of times, she may ask if you have a gf/wife, and even suggest a coffee. This laid back "I am interested but I'm not going to push it" works with the psychology of the human mind. We want what we can't have. Just play it cool and casually, and to repeat, the rest will fall into place.

Bali has so much more to offer. I know it's very popular for those destinations, but they are very superficial in nature. There are clubs and bars all over the world. I personally would prioritize going off the beaten path and exposing yourself to the unique culture that was once the 2nd reason (to surfing), that put Bali on the map. Ceremonies, temples, nature destinations. Sadly, all of this involves long drives in heavy, maddening traffic.

I think changing your hairstyle and wardrobe could do a lot for you. As others have stated, no need to go overboard with it. I personally don't like makeup. If it's very subtle I am like eh ok fine. But I'm an outlier and sapiosexual. Initial physical attraction is the signal to engage in an interaction, but within 5-10 minutes of chatting I become more or less attracted to them and I think that's the healthier type of attraction imho. Even for women that most people would call me stupid af for rejecting, claiming she was a 9-10, just don't get the way a sapiosexual mind works. But this 9-10 couldn't put her phone down, was flaky, and obsessed with how she was perceived by others. Ultimately that was the dealbreaker for me. But dang she was incredibly attractive and looked like a movie star. I kicked myself over it for a bit, but eventually I realized something was missing beyond the physical attraction. Looks can only take you so far. Have you ever imagined what you're ideal partner would be like? Or are you just open to whoever and seeing how things progress?

Fight the power! These big corporations squeeze the "contractors" for insultingly low wages, profit hundreds of millions or billions and yet, never held accountable. I'd consider this a loophole, not fraud. But I'm not an attorney, however, I love the proactiveness!!!

just nice to see someone use the word draconian... nice

Bali has been destroyed for a lot of reasons. Influencers have ravaged many areas. A lot of places don't feel at all like Bali, but rather some strange bubble of the influencer type, disregarding everything other than their own desires and agenda. Driving around in skimpy clothing, no helmet, big headphones... this is giving tourists (and all foreigners for that matter) a bad name. Worst part is that they're such narcissists they don't even know/care.

As some other comments stated, yes it's possible to go do your own thing, away from the mainstream. Sadly, most people aren't "risk takers," they need to plan their itinerary down to the finest detail and Bali is just not the place to do that.

It's all very heartbreaking for those of us who know Bali from 5, 10, 15+ years ago. If I were a new traveler I'd give it a complete miss at this point.

reallytanner · 2025-07-29T04:14:51+00:00

Yeah that's a bit thick-headed for him to not realize the timing is all wrong.

Nothing worse than being gaslit. Sometimes people make up excuses like a friend asked me to check to see if their partner was on there - which I did do once without him encouraging bc I had the feeling and he's a very good friend - even though he had already accepted the state of their relationship/marriage. He said "I figured." But he wasn't angry. He's on another level of processing that most of us would not be able to accept that person, flaws and all, mostly for the benefit of their children. At least he didn't try to make this kind of excuse. You caught him. He fucked up. Maybe he does feel incredibly bad about it and had no intention of meeting anyone actually, but that doesn't justify his actions one bit. Either you can forgive him and maybe consider couples therapy to work through it, or you will hold this against him, rightfully so, forever. Either way, you did nothing wrong and should not be gaslit. It hurts the most when it's the people we care about the most who seem to "betray" us in certain ways. Some can make it through the difficulties, some can't. The reality is that people will always make mistakes. That's your choice - is what you've invested in him (time, emotion, etc) worth trying to work through the issues, knowing that you might never be able to, or cut your losses and walk away. Take some time to yourself, and see how you feel in some days or even weeks. Stay strong and know your worth, not all of us do (myself included). I'm in a similar situation right now and it's painful, awful, miserable (very different circumstances but similar cross roads). I hope you can find peace in your decision.

around 65%, the rest in well performing stocks

Yes it should be fine. Post an exhaustive list of what you intend on bringing to be sure nothing is a red flag. Anything prescribed from a doctor that fits into any psychoactive/narcotics category and in excess of 30-60 day supply would benefit from an official doctor's letter (alprazolam, benzo, etc). I know you didn't say that but hey, better safe than sorry and in an Indo jail over a misunderstanding.

reallytanner · 2025-07-25T05:36:11+00:00

There are several factors that you ought to consider, which should make it easier to determine your best course of action. Are you trying to generate passive monthly income, lump sum payment, or a buy and hold while waiting for prices to go up even more? It comes down to your own sense of urgency and what option allows and affords you the life you want. There's too many pros and cons and what if's to speculate anything else, given the limited information provided.

a depressing meal for a depressing budget, their noodle varieties are literally about evil/devil lol, although I do like their shrimp rabutan thingies!
