    U.S. 2028 Presidential Election Season and General U.S. Politics Thread

    Fully recommend Yen/Euro investments. It’s possible the dollar somewhat recovers. But for the next 4 years we have no way to trust the man at the wheel. He backtracks on Jerome now- but what about in a year when Jerome’s term is up? I’m buying up property and assets in Europe as it’s stable...

    Split Discussion - Fees, etc.

    Yes. So that’s the difference between a private provider and something you put together yourself (ie connections). Or going to the equivalent of a soapland. Since we are discussing a soapland provider here I was trying to give an analogue for that. Ironically for the place I’m thinking of...

    Split Discussion - Fees, etc.

    ??? In Vietnam where yearly salary is ~4,000USD FS at someplace like Linh will still be >100USD. In Thailand with similar salary nuru massage can easily be 200USD. We’re getting off topic but it’s not that people want to be charged more it’s that we understand when they want to make more...

    Split Discussion - Fees, etc.

    Clearly not in line with the market as people are willing to pay more. Who are you to say they shouldn’t earn more money? Do you think they owe you a cheap rate? No one is owed anything. And that’s why there’s everything from Jan Jan to Shogun and a million in between. One thing we agree on...

    Naturally when all the truckers are laid off, when farms lay fallow as China will no longer buy soybeans, when dealerships close down… “Why did Biden do this?!”

    Split Discussion - Fees, etc.

    So am I (though through hard work). So here's my perspective: you aren't only getting what you pay for you, this is someone else's livelihood. Would you be willing to take care of some disgusting geezers all day for 27,000 yen, when probably half of that goes to the shop? When for most they...

    Too Gyaru? Is that like being too hot? Is that even possible?

    The Anything Goes Thread

    had a woman come up to me in Shinjuku, near the McD’s near the underpass, when I visited. In broken English asked for money due to medical bills. Gave her a few thousand yen as while I figure it may be bogus at the end of the day I spent way more on soaps and DH. Say a few under the bridges on...

    Japan vs SEA mongering

    Try Vietnam. I've found it to be fairly Japanese aesthetic (far more than Malaysia, Thailand, etc) but at much cheaper prices (like 100USD for an overnight, ~300USD to rent an entire pool and hire two beautiful providers for 2 hours). Lots of places it’s 15-30USD for short time.

    Which games are you currently playing?

    Finally we can get a Switch 2 in Eagleland. Hopefully replay a couple of Zeldas and start a new animal crossing village before the next move.

    RD Cold session with Maika

    Hopefully previous users get grandfathered in. If not despite it being my favorite shop... well I just can't see using it. Principle of the matter and whatnot. They've been asking for at least a year (first time I was there when they sent a direct link to the forum and offered 1,000 off for...

    Anyone else feel the urge to better themselves after p4p?

    For real man. Even after the meeting she asked if I wanted to walk her to... some next stop? And asked me alot of details about my plans for moving to Japan. And like a dolt I thought she was just asking to be kind and didn't want to bother her as I figured she would want to be done with a...

    Anyone else feel the urge to better themselves after p4p?

    So without going in depth. Last year I visited a girl who retired... well the next day. Wasn't me I swear! Anyways thanks to that I went from planning on graduating and being a NEET to opening a branch of my business in Japan, working on a visa, dating for the first time in literally a decade...

    Random Fashion Chat

    Wasn't too long ago one of my aquintances in Japan was showing me their food they ate at a Chinese restraurant, an Italian restaurant, and a few others- including a Viet and a Malay- and talking about how exotic they were. Come to America and they probably think all but Italy is the same...

    From talking to friends most don’t want to. It’s usually do to family (lucky me… don’t have any), friends (I do have them but also weebs), personal ties, or just having lived and worked for 5, 10, 15 etc years in America. My biggest fear is that while things are bad now and we can get out but...

    So my job is a lot worse in Japan as well- pay wise- than America (though luckily I’ve got the assets to maintain tbh). Still I have a simple rule- it’s better to live free without as much than to live under… what’s coming… with more money. If they ruin the economy the wage won’t even matter...

    There’s a spreading rumor that martial law will get declared on the 20th and the borders will be closed, insurrection act enforced, etc. I’m guessing it’s bullshit but if not will always curse myself for not moving just a bit quicker. Should have started the visa pre election not just the...

    Versailles (SL) Akagami no Miyabi, sister of Akagami no Shanks- Beauty of Versailles

    Probably the wrong thread for this but what I’d say is you can have a lot better time, for a lot less, and not likely get fucked over (heh), if you avoid someplace like Versailles. Even if cost isn’t an issue (same boat tbh) “rewarding” these policies isn’t productive.

    So tariffs are now off for all except China. I can’t keep up I have no clue what’s going on except no one will trust us. Porsche owners literally saw on tracking their cars going back to Europe due to tariffs and now maybe reverse. Who can trade with this man when we don’t know what tomorrow...

    I don’t think we recover for a long time. Our market might but we lost in November. Simply put who trusts a nation that elects a moron, he tried to launch a coup and is horrid, we elect a fixer… then elect the moron a second time after he gets a bunch of felonies too? America is now going to...
