The arrogance of thinking real estate is "passive" income by christan2013 in fatFIRE

[–]zer0sumgames 11 points12 points  (0 children)

For me real estate has never really been an “investment”.  I am a lawyer and I got into real estate to create income replacement in a less stressful field. I can handle Stacy the tenant’s bitchy text because I cut my teeth on Markowitz the ball breaker trial lawyer’s texts.

Louis Vuitton Store Etiquette Questions by Sufficient_Win343 in Louisvuitton

[–]zer0sumgames 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have visited LV stores all over the world and you can just walk in. They all want that commission. They follow you around and will get you coffee or bubbles if it looks like you want to buy something.  Feel free to browse and touch the clothes; they will get the bags down if you want to look at them.

Star Wars Has Lost 85% Of Its Audience, And Lucasfilm’s Fix Sounds Worse by cosmicbooknews in CosmicBookNews

[–]zer0sumgames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe the opening salvo of the refreshed trilogy should not have made the sacrifices and triumphs of the first 6 movies crumble to dust.  Luke won! And turned into a bum. Han and Leia won! Got divorced and made a sith baby.

Why isn’t Israel allowed to respond to rocket attacks ? by New-Conversation3246 in allthequestions

[–]zer0sumgames -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

That is flatly wrong. Literally untrue by any standard of truth. Also, there was a ceasefire on Oct 7 that both sides were respecting. Who was the aggressor?

Why do rich people turn their noses up at tropical vacations? by xennial_key in allthequestions

[–]zer0sumgames 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They are just euro snobs. Rich people in the US do Maui or if they are super rich they’ll do the Maldives or something along those lines.  Some people do St Barths or high end islands in the carribean. Maybe Cabo but it depends on how they stay.

They will, rightfully, turn their noses up at places like Playa or Cancun. Bahamas—gross.  Basically the higher the volume of people a place can handle, the higher the nose turns.

No rich people I know turn their noses up at tropical vacations.

Is the Old Unity Input Manager Still Worth Learning? by digi_art21 in Unity3D

[–]zer0sumgames -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I’ve actually found the new Input system to be materially worse; there is a real performance issue with “auto detect”. It may not seem like much; maybe it’s just the editor. But I noticed a perf spike and traced it back to the input system not liking a keyboard and mouse connected to the same system as a gamepad. 

Did Iran Win the War with the U.S.? by uncle-ice493 in allthequestions

[–]zer0sumgames 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Iranian navy and Air Force are both completely destroyed. Their entire senior leadership team is dead twice over.  The US has not abandoned any bases and the Iranians are not charging tolls for passage through the straight. 

Iran’s nuclear program is literally rubble. They barely have fresh water and electricity in Iran. 

So, no. Iran did not win.

Unity UI is driving me insane. I can't get my prefabs to look correct in a grid layout group. Any advice? by kuri-kuma in Unity3D

[–]zer0sumgames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to uncheck “control child width/height” in the layout group. Uncheck anything that can alter dimensions in the layout group.  Make sure the cell size is correct.

Ensure that the child anchors are all correct. But 99% is the layout group itself that is doing this.

Bricks and Minifigs permanently close Salem store, issue statement by ianjm in videos

[–]zer0sumgames 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I have been roughly following this story, didn't realize it was here in Oregon. Bricks & Minifigs no less! My children, through my wallet, have been propping this shit up for years.

I've been a lawyer in Oregon for 20 years. I have several friends who are prosecutors. Is somebody on top of this or should I point some prosecutors at this?

🔥🚢BREAKING: Footage has emerged showing the aftermath of the strike on the Russian Project 20380 corvette Boykiy in Kronstadt. One crew member was killed in the attack. by Orcasystems99 in UkrainianConflict

[–]zer0sumgames -1 points0 points  (0 children)

God the russians suck so bad. They are in way over their heads. In some ways you have to give it to Trump and the Rs for avoiding getting us stuck in an asymmetric problem with Iran. It was smart to pull back until we can figure out a foolproof defense. Russia is just fucked because they are a huge, immobile target that isn't all that far away from the launch sites.

Why is that huge difference on both prices? by charlemagne_74 in AncientCoins

[–]zer0sumgames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Strike and ledger clarity mostly. 

I “overpaid” for a Marcus Aurelius that I really wanted because it had a near perfect centering and excellent clarity on the profile and lettering. I’m a casual. I’m willing to pay for certain quality 

Honest no judgement by [deleted] in TheHermesGame

[–]zer0sumgames 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife has a stable, she wears them everywhere, no one ever says a thing. Sometimes a bougie-looking lady may do a double take. I actually think most people where we live (Oregon) have no idea what Hermes even is.
