@GordoDeCentral

Tried Tonka Imperiale. Fantastic scent. :tuttosport:

The other one I picked up was Parfums de Marly Godolphin. Reminds me of Tom Ford Tuscan Leather but even better. @Dostoevsky
Guerlain has some classics like Heritage and Habit Rouge. Haven't tried that one. I'll see Sephora next time to check if I can try it out. Parfums de Marly has great ones in their collection. Btw if you want a great cheapie be sure to buy Armaf CDNI.

I really hate it how they are so expensive here. It's so stupid to see that some perfumes here are more expensive than in Germany and by a lot while our wages are 10x smaller.

I've never seen this on a job application before

I'm wondering about the long-term of all this. I just cannot see society sustainably moving forward with tons of wannabe wokesters putting pronouns on their resumes and crap like that. We're going to look back at this and laugh, like using AOL on a 2400 baud modem. But I don't know what the outcome is gonna be. It sure won't be this.

So I handed in my notice at work today. Went slightly better than expected and amicable at least. I said we'll just agree to disagree on quite a few things, especially how employees are treated differently, and just shook hands.

He started to back down a little when I was walking off and said maybe he did make the wrong decision but I just said that we all make decisions and just deal with them in life. I can't be fairer than I have been, and work takes up far too much of your time to spend it unhappy.
Sounds like you did it honorably. Good on you, sir. Always good to disengage from an arrangement as the bigger man.

You know in improv class, the best comeback we saw to a situation where one person told the other that they were fired was "Oh, that must have been hard for you to say." Think about the status you convey.

People who still use Hotmail addresses for business :baus:
I don't for business, but I am still attached to the one I signed up for 25 years ago... it's what I use for all my spam bait emails. It continues to serve me well. :lol:

Best of luck big man!!


Also @Lapa you from Finland right?! Check what I found, I'm crying of laughter

Make a 34 year old woman PM, and this is what happens, yo.

How bad of an idea is it to marry your gf of 1 year and 4 months at 26 years old?
Iffy. Not horrible. Not great.

It all depends on how mature the both of you are, really.

Don't have kids and don't make more money than her
As always, A knows the deal.

Heh heh... almost.

Likely driven by Amazon customers. :p I love the cluelessness of people sometimes. I used to point it out in the US when everybody piled into a WalMart buying cheap Chinese shit and then lost their jobs, scratching their heads wondering, "Hey, where did all our orders go in my manufacturing job?"

The equivalent today are the people griping about porch pirates while they never know who they are doing business with, they eviscerate their neighborhood downtowns and main streets of businesses and jobs, they ship all their profits over to fat cats a thousand miles away who don't give a crap about your community, they pile up tons of unsustainable packaging with every order, and they help employ order packers who have to urinate in jars in warehouses. :lol: Absolutely clueless of their impacts...

I know more happy individuals rather than happy couples. There's just too many that I know who'd easily cheat on their partners.

But no, even above I said pretty much the same about men as well. I think people are fucked up not just women. But I stated an example where woman behaves as a chameleon. I believe everybody met such women. I for sure met dozens of them. That doesn't make men angel, though.
It's kind of weird that you seem to bring up the cheating thing in every context, as if the only definition of a successful marriage is one where cheating never happens.

Most f'ed marriages happen because people cheat on themselves, really. They don't know themselves, they are too afraid to know themselves, and they are emotionally stunted and not fully actualized as people. Because if you were, you'd first of all learn whether marriage or not is for you to begin with. And for another, you'd know yourself enough to connect with a better shot at the right, self-aware, mature person. That's no guarantee of success, as life is always changing ... the balance is always knowing that two people each need to grow but still find ways to connect back to each other, because breakage and repair will happen regularly.

As someone who has been married and faithful for 17 years (and faithfully together with someone for 24 years) -- and I am not saying that as a point of pride or honor, just what has worked for me (and there are always trials) -- it really isn't about sex or any of the Hollywood bullshit like that. It mostly comes down to vulnerability and being honest with yourself and your partner about what you need, really.

But it's wise that Claudio is asking these questions. I can't believe all the moronic personal finance wannabees who tell you that you can become a billionaire by cutting back on your take-out coffees. No, the best thing you can do financially in your life is not get into a committed relationship that will self-implode.

I can't get past her terrifying, dead eyes.

Celebrating my 40th birthday, getting old :p
Happy birthday, Marty!!

That is a brilliant find, my man!!

It would be hotter if she had a stoma.

What’s wrong with your wife/gf making more money than you? Serious question.

seems to be working well for Brady and Gisele
It's a future global reality, really.

Women are getting educated at ratios far more than men are now. This will result in either more women marrying "under" or just that many more single people.

I agree with everything you said there. I believe it's a fact that people don't know themselves and not regarding only the marriage but in every other aspect as well. I think majority of people is not even interested digging up and trying to see who exactly you are etc. For the same reason people are getting in the wrong uni, get the wrong (bad) job, etc. I don't know how it looked in the past but from what I've notice it seems that people are barely mature these days. They all want to enjoy themselves much and hardly anyone wants to invest time in the relationship and to build trust and something for the future. The temper is crazy.

However, I do believe that most (long lasting) relationships and marriages vanish because some third party appeared. So yeah, from what I can tell the divorce rate is insanely high and yeah, majority of the crashes is due to cheating OR simply because they've fallen in love with somebody else, being totally neutral to the partner etc. From my experience it's less than 10% of those long lasting relationships and marriages that crash due to other reasons.

so how does that make it wrong to marry a woman who makes more than a man? I wouldn’t have a problem with my wife making more than me at all, why would that marriage be destined to fail according to the previous posts?
