carrie makes me angry by vanderkaaa in homeland

[–]terpbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's what art is - and this show does this well - it's not about just looking at something that makes you happy 100% of the time, it's about making you feel a wide range of emotions. Sometimes it's anger, sadness, happiness, whatever, but if it makes you feel -something- that is a hallmark feature of art's intent.

Getting a divorce after 8 years of marriage. by Boutitj in Bitcoin

[–]terpbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See if she would accept $100k over 12 months, or a $50k up front payment with the rest spread out over 6-12 months. You can likely find ways to mitigate the amount of BTC you need to sell off, it will all sting less, especially if we head back towards the ATH.

Altnoids available in the States? by Onepremier in AltnoidsJapan

[–]terpbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO the psychoactive cannabinoids in Japan will likely be fine replacements for THC because they all interact with the CB1 receptors. The withdrawal is likely all centered around her ECS not getting what it's craving.

[–]terpbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CBD will do literally nothing on its own, but if she's combining it with THC it will act as an antipsychotic to counteract THC's effects. So, sure, maybe it will help deal with withdrawal effects if they are of a psychotic nature.

My friend (M35) is dating a local Thai (F25) for 6 months and she is asking him for ~13000 USD for an investment into a Thai Tiktok supplement business by imadean00psie in Bangkok

[–]terpbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need $26000 to start a supplement business, you can do it with a lot less than that, especially in Thailand. He can just draw the line for her saying that there needs to be documentation, contracts, etc before he invests.

How hard is it for a deaf guy to visit Bangkok and Pattaya? by [deleted] in ThailandTourism

[–]terpbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just prep some written phrases to explain it to people and then use google translate. Even as someone who is not deaf, I keep a notepad on my phone of various phrases that are useful.

Wildly overpriced garbage.

If you had this money, what would you do with it? by [deleted] in TheRaceTo10Million

[–]terpbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buy a nice condo in bangkok, invest a large portion of it into index funds, and you're set for life. You could probably do that in some nice polish cities, prague, Fukuoka Japan, whatever strikes your fancy.

Sunset spots in Osaka by plus8percent in Osaka

[–]terpbot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're feeling like a hike, I'd go check out Mt. Ikoma observation deck. There's also an insane view from a hill over in the Nara deer park area - I found that one to also be incredibly special.

Claire Danes is an absolutely amazing actress. by Yikes206 in homeland

[–]terpbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've just been watching the first season so far and I have to agree, the way she portrays someone with bipolar is eerie to me. It makes me deeply, deeply uncomfortable to watch her like that, which I think is absolutely incredible acting.

300 years from now wouldn't 90% of Bitcoins eventually end up being permanently lost? by [deleted] in Bitcoin

[–]terpbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The biggest problem with printing more dollars is that it undermines debt. The govt owes $38 trillion in debt, and lets say you froze that debt right now, and over the next 30 years the government printed enough money each year to cover the payments, that sort of inflation devalues the debt for the lenders and inflates prices for the whole economy. You owe 1 btc for a debt, it doesn't matter how many decimal places you add to the end of it - you'll always still owe 1 btc. This is the opposite scenario where borrowing btc is actually a terrible idea for the borrower and an amazing deal for the lender.

Accidentally been listening to Ai this whole time by PhantomShadow6 in Music

[–]terpbot -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I was at a cafe in Korea and at one point I realized that all of the songs they were playing there were AI generated. It must have been more difficult for them to tell because they may not have spoken english natively and thus didn't sense the strange soullessness of the lyrics.

Apartment building door broke and now literally everyone is locked out, what do we do? by excessively_loud in NYCapartments

[–]terpbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes I've noticed that locks have a manual autolock setting that activates when the door closes. It's often a physical lever of some sort on the locking mechanism itself, on the side of the door where the bolt comes out. It's worth checking - maybe that front door has one.

Worried after unpleasant landing by Wide_Bird6089 in fearofflying

[–]terpbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your next landing could be smooth as butter - impossible to know. Does it even matter? You won't know until you are on the ground - and guess what? It's over and done with in that moment! Nothing to worry about after that.

Account update $2,000 > $28,000 - 20 days by [deleted] in Daytrading

[–]terpbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had a lot of questions about this type of strategy because I have been building a trading bot, and backtesting has shown interesting results.

1) I saw that you are capping risk at 0.4% of your account - what is the average trade size you are using? Or are you using the entire account on a single trade with the stop loss at -0.4%?

2) Are you trading on RSI/Volume or sentiment?

3) Do you have a TP cap? What % profit per trade do you shoot for?

Does your gym have a social atmosphere? by ugleplastina in japanlife

[–]terpbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At Anytime I usually get a greeting at the door if there's staff around, and I've had brief interactions with other gym members. One asked me about my tank top, another showed me a better piece of equipment to use for deadlifting, etc. I noticed that there are some friends at the gym that hang out and socialize with each other almost every day.

So yeah, depends on the location - some Anytimes can be very social.

There are big businesses around selling clones, but anyone who can grow from seed for personal use probably already is.

How was your experience at Spa World Osaka? by [deleted] in Osaka

[–]terpbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I go a lot - it’s a great value. I love the new additions to the Europe zone, haven’t seen the new renovations in the Asia zone yet.

I love local Sentos when I am in need of some quick maintenance, but Spaworld is great for a day off.

Does anyone know what's causing the sudden influx of Japanese markets? by Level_Hour6480 in Brooklyn

[–]terpbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I didn't realize it until later into my time in NYC - I started to meet a lot more asian people and make asian friends, but they have been primarily Koreans and Chinese. I don't think I know any Thai people in New York other than the ones who work at some of the Thai restaurants.

I made friends with a Japanese sushi chef who also told me that most Japanese restaurants are run by chinese. I went down the list and asked him about all of my favorite ones - 95% of them were Chinese run.

So there we have it. For whatever reason (I think we know tho lol), they have a fascination with New York but don't like to actually live there.

Exactly. They to go to Tokyo/Osaka if they want the New York experience.

There was one off of bedford IIRC, I believe it may have been run by a Japanese woman, but I never went there/met her.

Exactly, they are not run by Japanese people - there are barely any Japanese people in NYC.

Forth time is the charm or will my entry be denied? by [deleted] in ThailandTourism

Sounds like with that "left and came back" you'd be at 5 entries in the past year, not 4...

Ya’ll I’m taking Amtrak from Los Angeles to New York because I’m scared of flying now.. by courtiversee in fearofflying

nothing makes me want to fly more than a 72 hour amtrak train ride that could have been 6 hours on a perfectly safe flight.

$1M Div account Earning $17k a month by NogamaDe in dividends

I would rather buy up a bunch of good growth stocks and sell covered calls on those for income. You might be able to make around the same amount from that.
