It depends on where I carry out from.

The local Chinese place that doesn't have a dining area? I do not tip.

I place like the Dominican restaurant that does have a dining area? I tip, but not as much as if I were dining in.

If there in a dine-in option, there's a good chance the counterperson and cooks are getting paid a tip-based wage.

One and done. Thanks.

What she is explaining is basically the billionaire version of us normal folk having to pay taxes on the value of our house, car, 401k, IRA, and all of our possessions every year we file our taxes.

Easy.

MSG house show looks to be poorly attended, yet the sold 8100 of 8500 available seats for tonights Raw in Detroit, and so far have sold 7500 of the available 8500 in Philly for the Raw on 1/10.

So it really goes in waves.

We talked about this in the wresting group last week or so.

Doesnt really cover hose shows, since WWE house shows do normally run in smaller venues, but for TV and PPVs, the smaller venues do not have the facilities WWE requires to produce their TV show.

Between the large staging area, and what they need behind the scenes for catering, photography, props, costuming, etc. a lot of the smaller (think 6-8000 seats vs 12-15k) just doesnt have the room.

WWE would rather 6500 in a 12000 seat arena than a sold out 5500 seat venue, because they both look exactly the same on TV.

I love the smell of some colognes but dont give a fuck if a guy wears it. Do what you want

According to some people here, youre wrong.

Even though thats your personal preference, youre still somehow wrong.

Dude, you need to take a break for a while. This is literally a thread about cologne.

OK. I'll be back in a half hour or so.

Smoke if you got 'em!

darkprince45 posted...

The thing is, if youre using a nice scented deodorant, youre using a cologne-lite.

its not like I can wash my ass with water and have it smell scented

But I'm not using cologne.

Your OP specifically mentions cologne.

You're posting opinion as fact, which is dangerous.

Conception616 posted...

I never said it was a red flag at all, I have been responding to the responses that I disagree with. My girlfriend also disagrees with most of the counter arguments in this thread, especially the one about Irish Spring smelling good.

And my wife loves the smell of irish spring, but only the blue one that I use. I believe it's called icy blast or some shit.

It's almost like different people prefer different things.

darkprince45 posted...

I mean that can work too, they make really nice deodorant now

Which goes back to my original statement.

Most women just want you to smell clean.

Whether that scent derives from you soap, body lotion, cologne, or just your natural scent.

Conception616 posted...

I didnt post this topic, genius.

OK. Then your support of the OP, like it's a fact.

Where the fact is that there's many women out there that prefer many different things.

It's like saying "Red Flag: If you have more than 4 tattoos on your arm".

Where there're literally hundreds of thousands of women that are turned on by men with multiple tattoos on their arm.

Making blanket statement about an entire population based on nothing but your perceived preference is just an exercise in futility.

Conception616 posted...

You do realize that cologne and perfume mix with a persons natural scent, so it wont smell the same on everyone, right? And there are far more factors that go into being totally turned on than just a smell. The fact Im having to explain this to you speaks volumes.

Yes. I understand how cologne works. I was making a joke.

Conception616 posted...

And you speak for all women?

No. Just like you don't either with you joke of a "red flag" original post.

Conception616 posted...

LMAO @ a lady preferring the smell of Irish Spring over Eternity or Chanel or something of similar quality. That soap is like a dollar a bar, its some cheap shit for sure, its like dudes who douse themselves in Axe.

Women just want you to smell clean, that's pretty much it.

Conception616 posted...

I parrot what my girlfriend says to me about how my cologne smells great and turns her on. Her perfume does the same thing to me. I prefer the smell of her vagina when Im down there, but dont want her outer appearance to smell like that all day, its not rocket science.

The fact that an artificial scent is what turns her on, just means some guy that happens to buy the same cologne can turn her on just easily as you do.

darkprince45 posted...

yep

and to that poster, I dont believe your story tbh. Because I dont believe youve been having a cologne conversation with so many apparent women. If its true though, if they arent at least a 7-8 it dont matter

While I don't ask every woman I talk to, I've had a few round table conversations about it amongst friends, and more times than not, the women say it doesn't matter to them.

Most say as long as the person doesn't smell bad (B.O.) they really don't pay their "Scent" any mind.

I've never sprayed even one spritz of cologne on me in my entire life, and have never had any issues with women.

Yet, I've know many women that are turned off by men that wear cologne.

I think losing an arm is worse

She was born with one one arm, the 2nd one never developed in the womb, so in her case, she really knew of any other way of living.

But I agree. Especially if its your dominant hand/arm.

In HS, I dated a girl with one arm.
I can't imagine dating a girl with one leg being any different.

Oh. I understand all that. You gotta explain that to his base that is saying "there's no way something that came out that fast is safe"

Also lol @ the end when Candace tries to say "masking children looks like China", and Trump is like "well China has a better education system than us".

Underrated part of that video.

She was saying it looks like China like it was a bad thing and Trump obviously wasnt in on the narrative.

Hot fucking damn. If only he had been this way when it started. He knows the vaccines are good and doesnt want to lose credit for speeding them up.

That's 100% what it is.

He's trying to create a narrative that the vaccines are good, and he rolled out the vaccines, so in turn he is also good.

Problem is, the last 18 month created a base that will even boo HIM when he says the vaccines are good.

TheHoldSteady posted...

Oh no, the vaccines work, but some people arent the ones. The ones who get very sick and go to the hospital are the ones that dont take the vaccine. But its still their choice. And if you take the vaccine, youre protected, Trump told Owens.

Did Donald J Trump just say a factual and coherent series of sentences?

I just showed a coworker, a staunch Trump supporter, that quote and told her that Biden said it.

She said "Of course he did, He's an idiot"

Then I showed her the video. She insists it was doctored.

"You know what a deepfake is, right? This must be one of them".

Arcanine2009 posted...

I came up with a vaccine, with three vaccines, Trump told Owens. All are very, very good. Came up with three of them in less than nine months. It was supposed to take five to 12 years.

lmao

Funny thing is, there's hundreds of thousands of Trump supporters that are refusing to take the vaccines simply because of how quickly it was developed and "something is up. how can they figure out a vaccine so fast?"

None of you grew up in NYC in the 80's, and it's shows.

I'd ask how this wasn't something I knew about in advance, as she's never mentioned knowing AOC in the 20+ years we've been together.

OK.

The capital of New York is Albany, not New York City.

Can it not be both?

I remember you mentioning moving to Brooklyn a while back -- do you not take the subway to work on a regular basis?

The situation with the homeless - especially those suffering from mental issues - has been atrocious lately and it's almost impossible, especially in the evenings, to get on a train and expect a quiet commute.

That's what I'm saying. It can absolutely be both.

The line that got me was "Imagine the cops frustration with no support to deal with it!"

Let's put aside all the "crooked cops" out there and focus on the 90% of cops that are actually trying to honestly do their job. In an attempt to clean up the subways for the people actually using them to get places, like their jobs, you try to get the homeless off the trains. You know their should be social workers and other people to assist you in this, but the City is just not providing it for you. Any job get tougher if you're not being provided with the proper tools to do the job.

Apparently, I read the two tweets completely differently than most of you did.

God damn big medicine pushing their casts on us

Funny thing is after 2 weeks, her arm was perfectly FINE!

Explain that, SCIENCE!

If you read his follow up tweet, he's not coming down on the homeless as much as you may think he is. He's just recognizing it's a problem.

The new Mayor & Police Commissioner have their work cut out for them trying to fix this mess our political leadership & DAs have created by tying the hands of the NYPD. We fixed this 30 years ago when Eric Adams was a Transit cop. Its going to be a lot more difficult in 2022.

I think this was meant to be read as more of an endorsement of Adams wanting more police presence on the streets, that will (hopefully) push many of the homeless into shelters, and possibly get them back on their feet.

Now, we can discuss the method Adams plans on using, as that's a completely different story. For all his faults, Rudy did a hell of a job cleaning up the city in the late 90's into 2000. Again, we could discuss the methods that he used, but I read these two tweets more as "The city has a problem, and it's not going to be as easy to fix as it was 30 years ago".

My daughter was diagnosed with a dislocated elbow when she was 3 years old.

Do you think the doctor was lying to us?

Isn't it funny how those in power CHANGED the definition of vaccine to push whatever agenda they have. They really needed to name their shot something else since everyone knows that vaccine means:

"a substance used to stimulate the production of antibodies and provide immunity against one or several diseases, prepared from the causative agent of a disease, its products, or a synthetic substitute, treated to act as an antigen without inducing the disease."

What they did was call it a vaccine too early, but there was really nothing else they could call it.

That's why we all needed a booster, and will probably need a few more before they get tot he point where they have a fully functional one-shot-for-life vaccine.

Also, to a vast majority of people, that's what the vaccine is actually doing. A LOT of vaccinated people are being exposed to Covid and not getting it.

We already know those answers. That's not the point. I would never feel comfortable forcing a healthcare decision on someone. It should be up to the individual to decide what to do with their body and how they come to that conclusion.

I feel bad for you when you try to enroll your kids into the public school system.

MFBKBass5 posted...

Yes, symptoms are currently less severe if youre vaccinated, but it seems like the vaccine mandate is a bit moot at this point.

Because, like everyone has already said, the goal of a vaccine isn't to prevent you from getting whatever ailment it's indented to fight, it's to protect you from severe symptoms should you happen to get it.

For example, we all (unless you're anti-vaxx) got the measles vaccine as a child. There's a pretty good chance at sometime our another you were infected with the measles virus, but the vaccine works so well, that you went through it symptom free.

That's what they are slowly working towards with the Covid vaccines and boosters.

Which is why the Delta and Omnicron variant, while more easily spreadable (which I think is more a result of things being more opened up than they were last year), the symptoms aren't nearly as severe as the original strain of Covid.

The more people that get vaccinated/boosted, the weaker and weaker the mutations will get, to the point that it will either be undetectable in most or, at worse, you'll feel a little "off" for a day or two, like getting the common cold.

Incorrect.

It's considered to be an ethnoreligious group, wherein you can belong to one or both of the aspects of the group (common traits due to historical segregation or Judaism itself).

Race is defined as a category of humankind that shares certain distinctive physical traits. The term ethnicities is more broadly defined as large groups of people classed according to common racial, national, tribal, religious, linguistic, or cultural origin or background.

Judaism is a religion. "Jewish" is an ethnicity, not a race. All Jewish people do not share distinctive physical traits. A non-Jewish person can have a "JewFro" as you lovingly put it. In Hollywood, may Italians play Jewish characters, as many Italians tend to have a "Jew Nose".

That's like saying Hinduism is a race, because most people that practice it look middle eastern.

This question is kind of racist. What if someone is Jewish and doesn't celebrate Xmas?

Jewish isnt a race.

But theyre still included in the conversation, as their answer would be I never believed in Santa Claus

I was probably somewhere between 8-10. I dont really remember.

Adams is a Democrat. He just has Republican policies.

I understand that, but he had basically the exact opposite views and policies than DiBlasio, so the people voting on policy went with that.

Plus, most of NYC just blindly checks the "D" button anyway and doesn't even look at policy.

TheHoldSteady posted...

I still don't get how one of the Democratic strongholds elected a Republican. Did everyone sleep through the primaries? The only candidate I ever heard anyone talk about was Wang.

Basically the same way Biden became President.

The guy before him was SO bad, they were willing to check any box no associated with him.

No pics, no answer.
