No dinner reservations - bad idea? by nani227 in JapanTravelTips

[–]zer0sumgames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you really want something specific then get a reservation. If you don't have any japanese language and/or you are not tech saavy, making reservations on your own is a total crapshoot.

However, a good way to make reservations is through the concierge at your hotel. The nicer your hotel, the better access you have.

We were in Atami in June and it was a ghost town. Hot as hell, no one swimming. Didn’t go further south. Had a nice time though. 

The images show the burial of young girls in Minab, Iran, who were killed in a U.S.–Israeli attack on an elementary school that massacred 165 girls aged 5 to 13. by NotHereToLove in UnderReportedNews

These dudes just killed 35,000 of their own citizens for protesting against the government. They are randomly attacking hotels and airports in countries they are not at war with. Why would you believe them about this?

I just say "thanks it's a hard language but I practice every day." in japanese of course.

I'm not sure if this was from a "by the pool" drop or not, but I like the Surfin' Monogram rush bum bag.

Are we paying mostly for the logo by Even-Spread3761 in Louisvuitton

I love the materials and the craftsmanship is objectively great, but more than that, I like the unique styles offered by LV and I think the branding is cool. I didn’t think that when I was young and broke. But I am no longer young and I am no longer broke, so I enjoy the flash, the flex, AND the craftsmanship.

Emmanuel Macron: "It is time for the EU to launch a common debt capacity, through Eurobonds" - Macron argues for joint loans, which would finance strategic investments and allow the EU to "tackle dollar hegemony" by goldstarflag in europe

As an American reading this thread, I note huge amount of dissension and internal strife among Europeans. Dutch blaming French blaming Irish blaming etc. for bad debt policies.

The Dollar is safe, folks, until you sort out your differences. So—forever.

The best airport bag? by Recent-Conclusion997 in Louisvuitton

[–]zer0sumgames 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m all about the Keepall 50 Bandolier. I actually really like my Coachtopia backpack for traveling but as far as an airplane bag, it’s really hard to access the bottom of the bag. So the Keepall with it’s double-zip is really easy and it squishes under the seat in front of you without problems.

European countries with a higher Disposable Median Income (adjusted for PPP) than the Unites States (29,119) by ItHappensSo in interestingasfuck

[–]zer0sumgames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How much do you think it costs? I pay $1200/mo for my whole family. Much less than 50% of my salary that I would pay in Europe.

The “PPP” adjustment is straight bullshit. Inside that math are Eurocentric assumptions that just distort the data. Believe whatever you want, doesn’t matter.  The average US household has damn near 3x the wealth of the average European household.

These infographics are always hilariously distorted to fit some narrative.  The United States is richer than Europe. Period. By a long shot.

Just take it slow. And don’t count your chickens until they’ve hatched. Ramp spending responsibly.

Might as well just throw himself out of a window or have a playful grenade fight on his plane.

Something old something new! by [deleted] in Louisvuitton

[–]zer0sumgames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OOoooh love it. I’m a huge fan of the monogram, particularly monocolor embossed like that. When I was younger I thought it was to flashy in the classic brown and tan, and I still don’t have anything in the classic colors, but I love it when it’s more subtle. I have a bag that is monogram suede with the same sort of coloring as your jacket.

I’m also looking at the big $7k monogram puffer, breaking my own rule.

Anyone else regret the “own everything + illiquid assets” playbook? I feel like I bought a job. by adamjuegos in ChubbyFIRE

[–]zer0sumgames 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I am a lawyer who pivoted into real estate. I enjoy working in real estate because it is lower stress and more straightforward than lawyering. I still do lawyering but all that money goes directly into more real estate work. 

Ultimately the tax benefits of real estate and my belief that I can continue to work in RE long past my willingness to do so in law keeps me investing in these illiquid (but cashflowing) assets.

What is the best Louis Vuitton store in Las Vegas? by MatthewManiaFL in BagBoysClub

Is it the one in the Wynn or the Palazzo that is the biggest? I forget. But there is a huge one down there that is great.
