Thread 2806586

As gay as it sounds, I'm following in the footsteps of Pieiter Levels, and am moving to SEA for a year to try and bootstrap a startup and make something of myself. Quit my job and have 1 years worth of runway. If I fail, i'll move back home and get a boring desk job and give up on my dreams, but at least say that I tried.

Need Advice...!

Where the fuck should i stay? airbnb seems overpriced but i like how you don't have to deal with the hassle of damage deposits, or leases. hostels fit the transient nature and are cheap, but don't know if i can stomach sleeping in a dorm every night. apartments in fb groups seem the most economical, but often want long leases, and are usually not in central locations. colivings seam overpriced but you get the benefit of essentially living in your coworking space as they are often attached. Can anyone drop any links to where you stayed?

I'm on a budget. Coworking spaces are around $200/month, streetfoot $10-$15/day, and would like to keep accomodation under $550

Planning on spending first month in Chiang mai. Just gonna do month to month and then re-asses. Would also like to check out Da Nang and Hoi an, also hanoi.

Punspace coworking is where i'll probably work in Chiang mai, and Hub Hoi An looks good in hoi an. Any other recommendations? recs for hanoi and da nang?

I'm getting more and more anxious as my departure date arrives. Not going there to party and fuck around, generally would just like to extend my runway and meet some like minded people and remove all distractions from my life.

Thanks anons.

Unironically look at malaysia if you're trying to keep shit under 550/mo, alternatively korea.

Coworking space is a meme IMO, sure there are some upsides depending where you are but just reuse that money to invest in the Airbnb. Most won't fuck you on things if you don't leave the place a trash heap, and real talk, the shit you do is nothing compared to what chinese do. Just clean up, shit/piss in the toilet and take out the trash every now and then boom done. Never been charged a deposit or the like in +5 years of Asia. I honestly think most people getting charged for Airbnb fee's are hamplanets who run the AC at 60F 24/7 and broke the shitter.

My budget is often 300-500 in Korea, Philippines(outside Manila), Japan(outside tokyo Osaka is cheap), and Malaysia. It's easily doable biggest issue is PH and from what I hear Thailand, is those countries often charge utilities. I often book a cheap place where I can shit shower and shave, get work done at a nice desk, and if I need to meet some people for the night throw a hotels.com booking on for the night.

I've done hostels a fair bit as I am more project based then DAILY HEKKIN STANDUPS, the longer I've done DN the more I am willing to stay a bit more outside the city for a cheaper price and maybe book my weekends downtown often coming out ahead in costs. Just foucs on a good internet, secure work space for your laptop, and bring a USB drive with drivers+Windows install for work if a update fucks you

You've listened to way too many doompilled neets on this asshole of a website.
Even if you fail, it'll be great.
I did the exact same thing years ago and don't regret it at all.

Don't bother with airbnb in VN or TH, get a hotel for 3 days, check out areas you like, walk up to apartments and ask them the monthly rate.
Anything online is going to be 30% more for the exact same thing for monthly rentals. It's a chump tax.

Would agree with this anon >>2806594 about Malaysia but it's lacking in certain things, nightlife ain't great and friendships are harder.

>>2806594
>Coworking space is a meme IMO
Are you actually claiming to sit there on a shitty stool in a hotel for 50 hours a week working on a computer?
Anyone with half a clue about this knows you need a proper desk and chair, you won't last otherwise. I've known many of these people and they don't have staying power. You need a comfortable seperate environment for work.
The mental and social benefits of a dedicated environment is huge also.
I know this site is overrun with shut-ins who think their lives will improve by being a retarded hikkimori in another country but a desk in a coworking is worth magnitudes more than the $3 a day it costs.

solid advice actually. Do you mean just walk up to like residential style apartments or hotels also? or both?

Where did you stay in thailand and vietnam? any recomendations?

>Are you actually claiming to sit there on a shitty stool in a hotel for 50 hours a week working on a computer?
>Anyone with half a clue about this knows you need a proper desk and chair, you won't last otherwise.
yeah, previous poster made some good points, but i tend to agree with you here. I need a separate space to work. otherwise i'd literally just be in the airbnb all day and i don't see that being very good at all.

what are you doing for health insurance, if any?

>>2806606
>Are you actually claiming to sit there on a shitty stool in a hotel for 50 hours a week working on a computer?
No clue what you're talking about, my current place has a mini sofa, and computer chair. I don't know why this board thinks everything on airbnb is similar to a cuckshed.

>The mental and social benefits of a dedicated environment is huge also.
It's called just going out and doing your hobbies, are you actually that much of a shut in that your interaction with others is at a desk?
I meet people at the gym to talk to
I meet people on hike's to speak with
I do local meetups for english practice for people
I go to music events
I'll do one of my other dozen hobbies around town or chat up at the bar for it to get some insight, if I am that desperate for talking I'll do a private hostel room.

Yes if your only source of getting out of bed is forcing yourself to go to WeWork style places to interact with other nomads, okay sure. That's still kinda dumb but whatever floats your boat ig. For me spending that 150-200/mo extra I'd be spending for a wework basic ass non noise proofed desk, I'd reinvest into my hotel, hostel private room, or airbnb stay.

>I know this site is overrun with shut-ins who think their lives will improve by being a retarded hikkimori in another country but a desk in a coworking is worth magnitudes more than the $3 a day it costs.
Using the term wrong and also being a retard.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE A REASON TO VISIT THE COUNTRY WHY BOTHER SUBJECTING YOURSELF TO GO LIVE ABROAD?

It's most likely far cheaper, and easier to relocate withing your own country to somewhere cheap and easy to live. I have a place back in Oklahoma for 565/mo that I visit 3-4 months out of the year to keep a local address and all my things. Compared to visa hopping, sim card swapping, bag check fee's, airport markups, etc. It would be far easier and cheaper to live back home. Unless you're from switzerland or simply refuse to relocate in your home country, it's a downgrade.

>Anything online is going to be 30% more for the exact same thing for monthly rentals. It's a chump tax.
>solid advice actually. Do you mean just walk up to like residential style apartments or hotels also? or both?
You either need to book Airbnb or a private hostel room if you're a noob, I am sure other anon is going to go 'kek just do random secret place I did but in all honesty if you're new to the game play it safer and pay the 450/mo vs the 375/mo and be done with it until you are sure you can deal with this life style.

>what are you doing for health insurance, if any?
I use my work, but if you have anything chronic or ongoing just stop doing DN before you even try.

>>2806619
>For me spending that 150-200/mo extra I'd be spending for a wework basic ass non noise proofed desk, I'd reinvest into my hotel, hostel private room, or airbnb stay.

this is a good point, i guess, but hostel privates are like minimum almost $45 bucks now a days. so if your doing a private for 1 month thats like $1200.

Also, i'm not going to the wework to socialise, but its kind of a byproduct i guess?

not true at all for west coast america.

Also, literally just taking a cary on backpack, so no fees, occasional visa run is not much, but can add up. only really spending money on a place to sleep and food, and sim card.

>You either need to book Airbnb or a private hostel room if you're a noob, I am sure other anon is going to go 'kek just do random secret place I did but in all honesty if you're new to the game play it safer and pay the 450/mo vs the 375/mo and be done with it until you are sure you can deal with this life style.

i've done SEA for 2 months a few years ago. so not a complete noob. but that was more just travelling.

>>2806626
>not true at all for west coast america.
Cool I am also telling you that midwest USA, Florida, and other places can be cheap. If you're not going for cooming, then it would be cheaper to live in the USA unless you are gifted and got mom and dad to use as an address back home.

>i've done SEA for 2 months a few years ago. so not a complete noob. but that was more just travelling.
damn got a rea pro here...

The fuck kinda shit you looking at anon? I can find 30 places 600/mo

>>2806631

need to get away from home, the years are just passing by and everything is staying the same. Thats also one of the main reasons i want to do SEA, to just experience new things.

I meant like private rooms in hostels are min 40 a night, so if you did a hostel for a full month it could easily run you over 1200

what were your fav nomad cities in thailand and vietnam?

>>2806633
>I meant like private rooms in hostels are min 40 a night, so if you did a hostel for a full month it could easily run you over 1200
You know many do month discount rates right?

Again, this is why I said you should do Airbnb, my advice is look for 30 day stays for monthly discounts. You are looking at a nightly price and multiplying it by X days. There are often heavy discounts when you book in 30/60/90 days.

>what were your fav nomad cities in thailand and vietnam?
Given your situation I am not sure the fixation on these two places, you said you're not a gooner/party interested person. For that very reason I am unsure why you'd skip over Malaysia, Korea, or southern Japan. Bangkok is stupid easy so

Again not sure what you're looking for but a .5 second search in bangkok gave me this

>>2806586 (OP)
OP you will fail. You already have that loser/failure mentality. If you had some great idea then you would be able to start it up as a side hustle. I did my grind and got all my passive income setup before I moved abroad. That’s how you do it. You are totally backwards

>>2806661
You sound like someone who doesn’t have a helicopter mommy and daddy to catch you when you fall. Even into your 20s and well 30s. OP has nothing to worry about. They aren’t a real adult. Mommy is ALWAYS there!

>>2806586 (OP)
moving around so much is too disruptive if you actually want to get work done and end up successful after a year. going to chiang mai for a month means you do nothing for a week when you get there, do a few hours a day for 2 weeks and then do nothing your last week as you sort out your following month.
$15 a day food is poverty tier
in bangkok you can get a decent apartment which often has a space for working in the public areas of the building which is effectively a co-work space but not organised and you are just left alone.

>>2806586 (OP)
Go FUCK yourself

Thailand/viet just seam the easiest for a non-seasoned treveller to live. everyone speaks english pretty much. for example, malaysia seams like there could be too many hurdles for longer term living. in thailand i can get buy with only speaking english and interacting with other westerners
>>2806696
i was honestly planning on staying in chiang mai for three months untill my visa runs out then going to nam, but i do get what your saying

is 15 really poverty tier? a good street food meal is like $60bhat? the only time food was expensive was when i was eating american food at fancier restaurants, which i don’t really plan to do much

what areas of bangkok do to suggest? i’m not opposed to bangkok, i actually really liked it, just seams that chiang mai is less busy and noisy and i thought it would be a better environment

>are you a fucking retard? 99 percent of people who travel to thailand don't speak of lick of thai besides "kaap kuun kaap"
Thais are universally horrible at English because their education system might as well not exist, and even if they do "speak" it, their accents are borderline incomprehensible. Vietnamese and, especially, Malaysians are far better at it. But you're a fucking moron who has never been there so of course you don't know that.

>>2806726
ok nigger, whatever you say. Its common knowledge that thailand attracts more 1st time travellers and is easier to navigate whereas vietnam is a little bit harder to travel.

if you park your ass on khao san road or ko samiu or ko tau or chiang mai old town, everyone there from the grab driver to the person serving you food is going to understand english. they may not be fluent but it's enough to where you can function without knowing a literal word of thai.

>>2806726
>Vietnamese speak better English than Thais

This is absolute horseshit.

>>2806726

A fishermen on a river in Thailand will likely know another fisherman who knows practical words like river, boat, money, food, sleep, 1,2..10, today, tomorrow, go, hour, day, pay, hundred, thousand etc. And most importantly he will be willing to wait 30 minutes for his friend to arrive to translate the foreigner's speech. While in Vietnam a receptionist in a hotel generally doesn’t speak a single word of English. Even in Saigon I encountered a receptionist like that in a hostel where all the customers were foreigners. Of course in a certain very tiny tourist bubble they could speak English but getting into such bubble would require perhaps just as much luck as stupidity.

If anon thinks in Vietnam people speak better English than in Thailand he’s a fool and his words should be multiplied by 0.

>>2806733
Nigger, I just got back from Da Nang, almost everyone I interacted with, including fucking cashiers in supermarkets, spoke at least some English. Were you there back in 2000 or something?

>>2806727
No, Thais don't understand English as a language. They are familiar with a handful of English words that are commonly used in their line of business. A very small percentage of Thais are capable of properly conversing in English.

>>2806734
You must have stayed in Da Nang very briefly or perhaps went exclusively to the supermarkets for foreigners.
> Were you there back in 2000 or something?
No, I’ve been traveling in Vietnam for the past 4 months. In Thailand I’ve only travelled for 3 months, mostly last year but this year as well. My observations about English come from direct experience in these countries. I had an impression that Thai people welcomed foreigners and the Vietnamese much less so. It was easier to interact with Thai people who don’t speak English than with the Vietnamese. The latter often were unwilling to engage in trade, somewhat rudely rejecting the foreigner even when clearly profits could have been made. Perhaps this cultural difference played an important role because indeed on some standardized English tests, however unrepresentative of the general population they might be, the Viet outperforms the Thai more often than not.

Practically it was more important that the tourist bubble was large in Thailand and difficult to escape but in Vietnam it was so easy to get out that it would have required a lot of effort to exclusively stay inside. I travelled differently in these countries so I could be wrong but such was my impression.

>Wants English

>>2806611
>Do you mean just walk up to like residential style apartments or hotels also? or both?
Yeah, it's obvious which places rent out, usually has a sign, seriously for long term, don't pay online without seeing it first, it's just asking for trouble and a shitty experience, you might get lucky but why risk it.
The people in here telling you airbnb is fine in SEA have no idea. You really think Asian landlords already on super thin margins are eating the 30% cost to a San Fran company themselves? It's all passed on to you.

>health insurance
I use genki man, seems ok, from what I understand it's either that or safetywing for nomads as a reliable thing. Note that annual travel insurance can have good prices but nearly always wants you to return home after a month, T&C are a bitch on those things. Most people just want health anyway.
I see horror stories online but it's always hard to determine how real they are and it's not just someone getting sick and then buying insurance after the fact.
Don't skimp on it. At this point I've contributed to way too many hospital fundraisings for idiots in south east asia.
Bloke I half knew in Da Nang ended up in a medically induced coma after a bike accident, no insurance, family couldn't afford the medical evacuation, was insanely fucked up. He was trapped as a vegetable in a shitty Vietnamese public hospital. Don't be that guy.

I literally run a hiking group in SEA buddy. We've got over a hundred members at this point. If you hike in Thailand there's a decent chance you know me.

>>2806831
That's a fair call but it's fucking Thailand and Vietnam, shit is on easy mode to get a monthly rental unless you go somewhere well off the beaten track.

>>2806833

Your budget is 1000-1150/mo and you're looking at Chang mai... because these countries have good english... and "totally not a coomer".

Out of all the places to digital nomad with that budget you pick Chang mai? What meme post did you follow to get duped into that one, you're off to a real good start there anon. If you haven't booked already I would strongly suggest Malaysia or Philippines where at least the average monkey working at the 711 speaks good enough english to get you help if needed.

>>2806837
I'm a uni dropout mate, no idea who you talking about.
OP will be fine by default due to just being based and taking a chance on a founding a startup. I cheer on anyone like that.

>>2806841
You've clearly never been to Chiang Mai. It is definitely not the default cooming place when it comes to Thailand. It is cheap and people do speak decent english. I don't know what's your problem with this place, really.

>>2806820
just checked and there is literally only 1 place in all of osaka for under $450 on airbn and it's a shitty hostel bunk bed

>>2806850
Check hotel Toyo, they do monthly rates

>>2806821
solid advice, thanks anon.

>>2806586 (OP)
Thailand is the wrong place for “bootstrap a startup” try Cambodia, much cheaper and much less services avail. I mean, we live in the west the greatest financial hub in the world. Especially USA. If you can’t bootstrap a start up in the west you definitely can’t do it in the third world east. at best you could do like personal trainer or English tutor but you’ll be living on slave eastern waves compared to much higher wages in the west. The way I did it is I become a stock trader, that’s my startup. Now I could easily live in Thailand forever but who would want to? You’re probably in your 20s that being said go for the adventure but you will most likely be back shortly

>>2806903
>If you can’t bootstrap a start up in the west you definitely can’t do it in the third world east
this is retarded. everything is done online now, your location is irrelevant. OP and many others like him go to SEA to extend their runway and get more "time", wheras if they were living in SF and had to pay 4k rent per month

>>2806971
>OP and many others like him go to SEA to extend their runway and get more "time"
Get more ladyboy bussy more like lmao. We all know what OP is actually looking for.

>>2806971
Aside from the fact OP will now be on the Asian timezone market, trying to grapple with a completely different environment and culture, while also trying to pull himself up by the bootstraps, and have a business. Not to mention dealing with at times unreliable infrastructure.

OP can barely figure out how to book a place, yeah I am sure building a new business will be far easier abroad than in the comfort of your own home.

>wheras if they were living in SF and had to pay 4k rent per month
Or they could do this wild and crazy thing called moving, which is what many startups and companies are doing from insane cost of living places like Cali, NY, etc. There are places in San Antonio for ~700-800/mo that are doable, have a good local market for OpEx and room to network. Business loans and footing are far easier at home than anywhere. I can't wait for the day OP tries to sell his services only for them to realize connecting to their infrastructure is done through Thailand while he's been telling them he's actually in the bay area.


Let's be real here, OP's "business" is him going abroad to learn wordpress and attempting to vlog while he slowly burns through his nest egg funds while distracting himself of his ever lowering bank account with "the big client is coming in any day now!". I see this shit all the fucking time in SEA, it's more often done by fresh college grads with their trust funds now open but they way OP is going about this is on the same careless mentality.

I'm happy to be proven wrong, but this is a 99:1 chance here I'm right.

Dude if you can’t get something up and running in one of the greatest economies on earth then you definitely aren’t getting shit going in SE Asia where there’s a fuck ton less opportunity and money. In SE ASIA your only options to make money are, personal tutor. Personal trainer. Or some other retarded shit like YouTube or drugs or something. Not everything is done online in SE ASIA especially not for a foreigner. I can tell you’ve never been and never tried. Idk what you think you’re gonna do online in the third world to make money other than YouTube or teaching English. Dumb fuck. I can work abroad because I trade stocks, but even sometimes the internet is shit. Black outs, etc. if OP can’t do it in the west he damn sure can’t do it in the east u less it’s vlogging or personal training or tutoring. Those are your only options. I’m sure he’ll fail but that’s part of the adventure

trading stocks is the most feasible job in SE Asia that you can do. Code monkey? No. Jeets got all those jobs and anything you do on your own has already been done. Just go out there and fail. Like I said soemoen who has to will to make it in se Asia definitely wouldn’t be here asking about it. I give you less than 3 months before you’re back.

I tend to disagree. The only thing i need to worry about is waking up and walking to the coworking space. everything else is automated. I pay for street food, pay for laundry, pay for cleaners. I literally don't have to lift a finger aside from working in the coworking, everything else is done for you or outsourced. but i get what your saying. I also plan to stay in each spot for at least a month, so i'm not really going to be travelling a ton.

>You can get a cheap, barebones, hotel room for that price...all of you effort should be going into this "startup", not nonsense.

agreed. where do i find these hotels? just walking around and asking like the previous guy in this thread mentioned? surely they dont seam to be advertised this cheap online.

>This is where I have been. I work idependently. Travel is integral to it.

what city you in?

>>2807186
>where do i find these hotels?
You can find better off of AirBnB but will need to check in person.
>plan to stay in each spot for at least a month
Ive been living on the road for the last several years, every 30-90 days I move...a year doesnt seem too bad, but its more so that as soon as you get into a groove everything changes and that can add difficulties into the equation.

Sometimes my credit card works fine then suddenly its rejected everywhere, bank locks it or the nation doesnt accept it at all, Ive had some really tight situations in the past where I land in a country with no cash and my card is flatout not accepted by ATMs or businesses. Not even able to pay for a taxi to get to my hotel. Keep some cash on you when crossing borders.
>what city you in?

Listening to that anon will get you nowhere, his stories are greatly exaggerated at best and complete lies being par for the course. This dude legit thinks he met wild soldiers out in Pakistan all while climbing the biggest mountain ranges possible ALL by himself, when in reality he just went some camp ground and saw some dudes driving in a truck with AK's which is stupidly common for rural Pakistan due to a plethora of dangers. At worst his advice will be shit that can kill you or be put on a list but THAT'S HOW MEN ARE BORN ROAR!!!

While no one doubts he travels, he's repeatedly let it slip on his benders and schizo meltdowns about how he's running out of new credit cards to open and his trust fund is running low. Which should tell you everything you need to know.

>>2807413
Google's been working through this like Fi, it only works for about 90 days unless you're remoting into a US PC/network where it's hosted and is really good at detecting VPN's.

Usually tourist, longer ones tend to have lots of hoops to jump through like opening a bank account or something.

I got an international plan since I needed to keep the number for reasons. Its expensive though.
>what do you do?
Keep some level of cash on hand, also Western Union when card is declined, allowing me to send money to myself and pick up at a local branch.
>Any tips for SEA?
Kuala Lumpur/Malaysia, lived there for about a year, the visa is a bit longer than Thailand (now), Chiang Mai is nice and not "party oriented", Vietnam was nice (back in 2007), not sure now.

Food looks cheap but the portions are half the size, I regularly order multiple entres, making food no longer "cheap". Home cook when possible, save money for incidentals.

Correcting false information has zero correlation to normalcy. No, dumbfuck, they are {{{normal}}}, just like you. Unable to discern facts from emotional appeals or implicite verification when none was made. A {{{Safe & Effective}}} scientific meathod.

You change your personality as often as a kid who watches a new superhero movie does, but it's not convincing. Every week/month its a new gimmick with you, another angle, another attempt at sounding clever/mysterious/wise, but you don't seem to realize how totally transparent it is and how insane you seem.

Everywhere you post you get the same type of disgusted rejection of your bullshit, and every time you act like you are the victim. Will you ever learn?

>Need Advice...!
I will give you the best advice you can possibly get in this thread, even without having read it I know its the best.

GO. SOMEWHERE. BORING.

A small town with fast internet and no nightlife. If there is fun stuff to do and its your first time living abroad you will (you WILL) get sucked in and struggle to stay focused on your goals.

There is nobody to meet who can or will help you make money. Let me repeat that: there is nobody to meet who can or will help you make money.

You have an idea you want to work on, you go somewhere QUIET. and BORING, and you put in the hours every week to build and promote. You use the cheap cost of living to extend your savings, as you said.

You cannot make money or build a new business working out of a hostel, maybe a co-working space if you actually treat it like an office. Staying on task is important and random fucking shit going on and people there to have fun are huge distractions.

Go somewhere boring.

>>2807517
>every time you act like you are the victim
>baselessly slanders me while saying "No, actually *I'm* a victim of you!"
Crying out in pain while striking another?...classic dualistic (Schizo-Phrenic) sense of self. Very feminine behavior. Starting a fight then crying victim.
>You are a lying
QUOTE IT. Saying "Nuh uh." isnt proof of a lie, its emotional projection...LIKE A WOMAN.
>if thats true then explain my feeelings
Ok, you are a mentally neutered male who has zero sense of what masculinity is, you are the definition of "toxic masculinity". Its a feminine behaving male.
>>2807418
>THAT'S HOW MEN ARE BORN ROAR!!!
Example A. You believe men should be "equalized" with women and unironically view masculine behavior as a threat to {{{equality}}}. You think this is what "men do". No, it is what pseudo-men in a Matriarchy do to not be exiled from society. I dont care about exile, I live it as a way of life.
>how totally transparent it is
Then why are you factually incorrect about everything you say? Why cant you stop lying in every single post? Just {{{implying}}} you know for sure but have nothing but "feeelings" to back any of it up.
>and how insane you seem
>Seem (To ME)
"if thats frue then explain my feeelings"

I did, as a Doctor of Psychology, but you {{{become one too to EqUaLiZe}}}. You are delusional and maladapted, you have never known a masculine father as the one that seeded you either wasnt around are was neutered into the Matriarchy. Pathological equality has corrupted your soul, lying is a matter of discourse for you now, you are of the Devil for you have sold your soul to feel belonging in a Satanic world.

>>2807534
Lying again, surprise surprise. You really cannot help yourself can you? Is it possible that in your diseased mind you really do believe you are some sort of actual professional?

You are a scamming retard running on maxxed out credit cards and some sort of dwindling windfall which you know isn't going to last much longer. You are about 2 years from being on the street, where you will finally have arrived where you have always belonged: rock bottom surrounded by the other discarded severely mentally ill trash of society.

Just like so many of them, you made a choice to double down on being a piece of shit lunatic instead of actually taking your crazy pills to calm down and sort your own business out. Just another burden, just another wailing screecher looking for a handout.

>IM NOT HOMELESS, IM A DOCTOR!!!
you will screech
>I WAS A SOLDIER, LOOK AT MY PURPLE HEART!!!
you will screech, hand outstretched, eyes bulging
>I'M NOT SLEEPING UNDER THE OVERPASS, IM JUST IN TOWN FOR A CONFERENCE!!
will be something you tell people often

Your future is grim, and if you have any decency you will honor kill yourself before you reach that point, because for retardschizos like you, there is no clawing their way back up out of that hole.

Once your money is gone? That's it. It's coming soon, retardschizo. Will you have a last hurrah or will you fade away to nothing except another smelly unkept nuisance shitting in a porta potty and wandering around a walmart parking lot 10 hours a day?

Yes I know tardschizo, listening to this pseudoscientific wank makes you feel very clever. That's how it works for people like you. Obscure podcasts are adopted into your personality until you tire of them and find something else more novel.

However, you probably don't even know how to do math beyond basic algebra(if that). You got a PhD in psychology from a diploma mill, because literally anything else was too much for you. It's a very popular degree for absolute retards, because it requires zero math or real scientific knowledge/ability.

Anon, if you really have a PHD in the field(s) you say you do; you would know there is nothing worse than a doctor who attempts to self-treat when their mental state is brought into question.

Until it's third party proven via a government website he has that I don't believe a word from him about that. Maybe I'm skeptical after all the stories he's told thus far or maybe it's because I grew up around Naval Station Norfolk; but I've met people who "got a purple heart" before only to learn it was their parents/uncle's or even buddies one. They'd use the excuse all the time trying to get free drinks around wards corner or ODU but everyone kinda knew the open secret they didn't earn it. Plenty of friends I know possess a purple heart, but they sure as shit didn't earn it.

Unless he can prove https://www.thepurpleheart.com/roll-of-honor/ and cross reference himself with proof; calling bullshit.

>>2807425

So interesting if you look this up, if he's actually from those squadrons the only person he could be died and was survived by his family members.

Also, if you look at Chairman's of JCOS with purple hearts, all are 50+ and for sure not traveling or posting on 4chan. Say anon, where did you get those metals? Because as I see it, you're faking a purple heart, and a war vet; that shit is going to get you in real fucking trouble one day and no law enforcement will come to your aid for that shit.

For those that don't know, authentic purple hearts are easy as piss to buy on ebay or pawn shops near bases. To collect some badges, mean nothing all in all there really isn't any harm in collecting them and an active community of people who collect and preserve them. Though to use them as proof you served, you didn't, will get your ass beat or killed.

Also the top ones with in a plastic wrap with "MADE IN CHINA" reaaaaaally doesn't help your case here.

If those are your medals anon, and you earned them. The only person you could be is either dead or people in the 50-78 year range with respected jobs and service. They would not be on 4chan of all places.

So either some of those medals are fake, or you're lying out of your ass from some shit you found at a pawn shop during your travels. By all means someone posted the website we can verify all this information on easily and be done with it. Why not just prove it and shut up all these nay sayers?

I would love you to go on /k/ and post this, because everyone would smell bullshit especially with that MADE IN CHINA medal up top. How carless man.

>>2807731

Thus you reject Jesus, the only God you see is Satan.

You should be able to pull up yourself easily here, and everyone would be proven wrong by the facts here anon. It's actually that simple. This is proof via science of facts.

You're a fake vet and lower than low, a fake purple heart schizo. Go on /k/ I dare you and bring this up.

Your creator is a failure...this is why you cant trust anyone in government or any medical doctor...theyre just like you; backstabbing selfish shitbag undermining the whole of society for a free meal.

Anyone who is questioned about a purple heart who I know earned it is almost always willing to talk about it minus some that lost limbs. I doubt you've ran into a real one who earned it, because your face would be a hole for faking it the way you are. PTSD doesn't explain it either because if it was that, you'd have these very far away from you. So yeah you're making shit up, I dare you to post on /k/ I'll make it easy, and not get found out in a dozen posts as a fake retard.

Challenge coins can be bought on ebay for ~30 bucks these days. Anyone who's lived near a military town knows you can get them at any pawnshop. picrel

No thanks, but I will post there when I get my Ultra-high Gamma ray device built...you know, a Death Ray. Really rub it in the .gov mod's face that lurks there.

You no what, pretty sure the guy I found earlier by some simple google was dead. This isn't worth it disrepsecting whoever you got these off of further.

Enjoy getting your ass beat when you get back on US soil and go off on the wrong person with stories that make no sense.

Why you mixing up challenge coins with distinguished service medals?

>>2807792

You are an example of "Satanic idiot". Constant lies, never corrects failure, just forces a ego-centric projection from a psy-op'd and enfeebled psyché.

>>2807797
>YOU ARE NOT (((BASICALLY A NAVY SEAL TOO))).
No that's why I said I wasn't and decided to go against more investigating since the person with all those medals is dead and it was awarded to his surviving parents/family(which given your hand you look nothing like). I was going out on a limb because it's 100% possible you got those also at some pawn shop.

I stated that people who have PH's aren't shit in mentioning they got it as it's a well-known thing to even civi's that peopel fake it. All I asked was you prove me wrong, that's it. There is a site to prove you earned it. You refuse to do it like your PHD you "earned".

get off this board
go to a mental hospital
stop larping as a US service member PHD. aficionado

It's very simple to prove everyone here wrong but you refuse to do it and change the subject to random crap.

>>2807804

Most people wouldn't mix challenge coins and then toss their real service medal to the side...
>Facts mean nothing to you...you are looking for emotional appeals to yourself, facts and truth has no bearing on you.
No the site is right there, are you trying to motion that your purple heart is in fact a "challenge coin"? Fine expain to such a pleb here which ones are the "real and truly earned" ones.
>Facts mean nothing to you
I'm actually looking for facts, post your service history for the purple heart. The government site was listed for people awarded it.

You posted the image long before any of the questions were raised, it's up to you to prove me wrong here.

>>2807810

YOU MISTOOK CHALLENGE COINS FOR MEDALS.

One of them IS.

MENTALLY ILL FUCK, GO AWAAAAY.

>>2807812
Anon you only get challenge coins during service, and I have been focusing on your purple heart mainly.
I have been looking at challenge coins year of issue to figure out branches they were awarded to and times
Narrowing that down it was pretty damn easy to figure out who had purple hearts within those years and isn't injured to the point of unable to walk or travel.

So are you telling me, that the purple heart there is not real? Because it sounds like you are from this post.


>YOU ARE STOLE VALOR BY PROXY, YOU MENTALLY ILL FAGGOT!
No, any citizen can and will look down on someone faking real US service men.

If you can't prove your service it's clear you never served. It's really not that hard or a big request by any means for someone who's pushed it.

>>2807815
You are not a "service member checker", YOU ARE MENTALLY ILL.

This is why they call the US "Satan"...YOU. You cant stop lying in every fucking post, you never address ypu errors, you keep LARPing youre right in the face of reality....SICKNESS.

>is what Levels did recreatable today? or did he just get in at the right time? seams like his main apps are just wrappers built for normies? has he actually built anything cool/good?
depends on what you define as "what he did"?

Build some applications? you can do that I guess, but i'd do it like him where you spend like 1 month max on the idea before moving on to the next. many will not gain traction and the software game is consolidated at this point, but people still build stuff that pulls 3-6k+ per month.
Build a 700k twitter following? That won't just happen by coding. Levels also started with blogging. He was always building the personal brand element in parallel and they synergized.


I think Levels, like many digitial nomads, blends building and scamming. I wouldn't doubt if he faked some of his revenue. "oh ya I DEFINITELY was making $30k/month off of a data wrapper card site with a paid slack dump channel. follow me to learn how to!" He was ultimately part of pushing what I now call the "digital nomad meme". You go to a place like chiang mai? it's a bunch of unemployed people with a bad relationship to their family back home.

It's not dudes with a top or even mid CS degree working on something innovative. it's people trying to scam or hustle their way into a few grand a month to survive on or just taking a career break.
>>2807038
>he also has a huge network of simps like you to shill all of his shit to
this. photoai came after he was already low key famous within the digi nomad lore
>>2807047
>i'm not one of those build in public fags on twitter vlogging all the shit i do trying to become the next peiter levels. i could care less about clout, i'm on 4chan for fucks sake
you're potentially hamstringing yourself. Having a community to shill his crap apps to was potentially crucial for him. You need to at least build for a community. the guy who makes the Cyberpunk Red companion app does that and recently quit his day job. Levels built for nomads

I might consider rolling into Kho Hong, Hat Yai Thailand as we discussed in the thailand thread.

I'm worth $1.5M as a 32yo, so my back is not against the wall, but I just got laid off with a severance into March and might transition into Asia indie dev mode

I would like somewhere with:
*1-2bd housing where the power does not go out. Good desk, comfy bed, moto parking, no egregious bugs, strong AC, easy delivery dropoff for goods/food. Basically, I want non-philippines housing w/a work station lol.

* Easy to go on a relaxing motorcycle ride in and outside of town.

* Tasty healthy food

* Nice-to-have if I can enjoy a blunt (basically just thailand).

* Also nice if something like a language school or local place with english taught classes is around

I might start a whole thread on this...

>Ive flown to countries without even googling them, just "winging it" when I land.
me too, but this isn't what I'm discussing. just excuse yourself if you're a seething poorfag that is going to get all reactive. I'm looking for a particular style of setup.

I might be going back to be a student one more time and a chunk of that money can disppear when not working for 1-2+ years.

I'm already out here in SEA, so plane ticket is easy and I've already got a variety of friends storing life items for me in places like PH, so I'm mobile.

>>2809104

Youre spending more time "talking about it" than actually doing it when doing it will be the only things revealing if it would work for you.

>Quit my job
>storing life items for me in places like PH
>i'll move back home
You live in the Philipines?...and work "a boring desk job" that afforded you $1.5M liquid? So, like real estate or wall street type work? Then you should be fearless in "quitting", because youre a shark among sheep, right?

>I'm on a budget.
A 3% dividend would cover covere all of your expenses, and if you were frugal you would literally earn money by spending all day smoking week in Thailand, if your yiels was more like 7% you would have a $1,200/month rent covered and still be adding to your account.

With money managment this would basically be "comp'd", along with an oz and a steak dinner.

(Its actually kind of shit, in lame area with little near by, my apartment was only $500/month but my neighbor owned some wierd looking experimental BMW, I was a 5 minute walk from chic coffee shops and and fancy resturants. This one is next to the mall and an 8 lane highways, fucking YES! They all look like that too, lol...)

i was talking to an american expat in thailand and he was living in hat yai, his wife lived there, he had nothing but good things to say. But i've also heard it has some dodgy parts as well. What you described tho it seams like chiang mai would be a good option

I'm not asking for financial advice on managing the 1.5M or how to become solvent. I'm asking for a place to set up camp to do the things I mentioned

Why are you asking random strangers for specific apartment recommendations? These have nothing to do with country, region, or town, and have everything to do with building managment....why are """"rich fags"""" so oblivious to what theyre looking for....forgetting who and where they are?

>I might start a whole thread on this...
Yeah, start by contacting rental agents for your desired specifications instead of requesting shit from strangers they woulndnt even be able to answer...

Fucking shit...I cant interact with society because Im reminded its nothing but lying shitbags. They are so used to telling lies they literally (((forget))) they are even lies until I call them out, but instead or correcting them they counter-lie to protect the lies, because all the can do it lie...and lie more.

"We know that they are lying, they know that they are lying, they even know that we know they are lying, we also know that they know we know they are lying too, they of course know that we certainly know they know we know they are lying too as well, but they are still lying. In our country, the lie has become not just moral category, but the pillar industry of this country."
