    costalacosta replied to the topic Search for reliable proxy solutions in the forum General Leica Discussion 1 week, 2 days ago

    I want to believe that all the recommendations I leave every day on different sites are actually helpful to someone, and I can also recommend a proxy provider that I personally really liked. If you have not used floppydata before, click here to check out the proxies, plans, and everything this provider offers. In my opinion, these are some of the…[Read more]

    costalacosta replied to the topic Will debt consolidation affect my tax liability? in the forum General Leica Discussion 2 weeks, 2 days ago

    As far as I know, debt consolidation usually doesn’t directly affect your taxes, but the details depend on your business and what debts you’re consolidating: personal or business. If it’s business debts and you merge them into one, only the payment structure changes. I recommend loading all debts and loans into Skrooge UAE so the software autom…[Read more]

    Maybe the question is a bit unusual, but what else can you bet on besides regular sports? I tried, but I realized that sports aren't really interesting to me.

    costalacosta replied to the topic Game site for play and get many fun in the forum General Leica Discussion 2 months ago

    For me, regular games are still more appealing when it comes to fun, relaxation, and all that. I’ve tried playing at casinos, but the constant fear of losing money, especially when you don’t have much, doesn’t really help you relax.

    costalacosta replied to the topic Who to share information about betting sites in the Philippines? in the forum General Leica Discussion 2 months, 2 weeks ago

    Is cockfighting also a Filipino thing? It seems like you can place bets on it too, if I’m not mistaken. Even without going to real cockfights.

I think it’s a pretty well-known dating site. I’ve come across it often. I can honestly recommend it. I’ve noticed that when I meet people online, I feel more comfortable and rel…[Read more]

    It would be great if you could see in advance how lighting or any changes, a new interior, and stuff will look. It’s hard for me to make a decision until I see it.

    costalacosta replied to the topic car park light in the forum General Leica Discussion 3 months, 2 weeks ago

    I have a question about bumpers and all these sensors. Like, parking sensors, motion sensors. If I put an aftermarket bumper, will everything still work? Won’t it change the dimensions and cause interference or something like that?

    costalacosta replied to the topic Exploring Quality Online Casino Options1 in the forum General Leica Discussion 3 months, 3 weeks ago

    That’s why I don’t really like overhyped casinos, platforms that have huge ad campaigns, marketing and all that stuff. Usually this creates big expectations, but in reality they’re just regular platforms, and not always fulfilling their promises.

    costalacosta replied to the topic I never thought I’d enjoy online slots in the forum General Leica Discussion 4 months ago

    I don’t think there’s anything surprising about that. Modern slots are really awesome. Fast-paced, colorful, engaging, and if they’re from top providers, you can be sure it’s going to be a solid gaming experience. I just enjoy playing a slot, but sometimes you come across a rolling slots promo code that gives a pretty nice and easy-to-play bonus.…[Read more]

    A social casino is where you can play for free? Not with real money, I mean. If I understand correctly, what’s the point of that? No interest at all.

    costalacosta replied to the topic earn money while doing what I love in the forum General Leica Discussion 4 months, 2 weeks ago

    It really is a dream. Very few people actually work doing something they truly love. Honestly, I think I got really lucky. In my circle I’m literally the only one who loves their job. Still, I’m looking for free online jobs that pay daily, because I want to slightly increase my income and just have a bit more pocket money.

    I have experience with such video chats. I think it was even something like 18+. But right away I’ll say, for me it was trauma for life. I haven’t felt that uncomfortable in a long time, honestly.

    It would be great not to deal with all this at all. Looking for people to do the renovation, places to buy everything. Feels like organizing all of this is harder than the renovation itself.

    Maybe the problem is the systems being overloaded? Honestly, I don’t know. I don’t run my own accounting, so it’s hard to say who uses what and how it works. If you’re curious, I work through Skrooge AI, I pay for a pretty long term there so I don’t have to worry. Basically it’s automated software, but my accounting is still handled by a real spec…[Read more]

    costalacosta replied to the topic How Responsible Gambling Tools Work and Why You Should Use Them in the forum General Leica Discussion 5 months, 1 week ago

    To me, responsible gambling means the player doesn’t need outside tools to control themselves. If someone needs limits, what kind of healthy attitude toward gambling is that anyway?
