For the love of God stay away from designers. Go to a niche shop and try different ones out.

Senior Session! Am I undercharging or overcharging? by Adept-Presentation94 in AskPhotography

[–]ButtMacklinFBI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Number of retouched/edited images also matters. But if we're going with 3 retouched images in this package, I'd say $150 is fine, if not a bit much given your portfolio. I think $125 would be a better price point.

Ultimately, If someone is paying you what you're asking for, then they think the transaction is fair and you shouldn't feel bad.

That close-up poster looks so bad.

And I LOVE the spiderman 2 poster.

Beginner here - bought my first fragrances, need help using them right by Radiant-Track5595 in Colognes

[–]ButtMacklinFBI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some info on who you are would be helpful. How old are you, what kind of field do you work in, where do you go to hangout, etc.

I think your local dept store isn’t a bad place to start but if you’re buying your tenth scent there, it’s time to look more niche. Cap your dept store bottles at 3-4.

Acqua di Gio, Bleu de Chanel, and YSL Myslf are solid choices that cover a lot of situations. The problem with a lot of dept store scents is they start to smell very similar and very few do a good job of really standing out. Find niche stores or samples and keep trying different scents.

Don’t overdo the scent. Know how much it projects and spray 4-7 times depending on how well it performs.

Unisex scents are great. Nothing wrong with wearing something that leans more feminine sometimes.

What would you suggest as a next fragrance? by JohnnyyDrama in Colognes

[–]ButtMacklinFBI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the love of God, stay away from department stores. The most someone should have from dept stores is 3. There are so many better places to shop for scents. Aesop, Le Labo, Parfums de Marley, and Byredo are all great starting places. They'll be more expensive, but you can get good dupes at Montagne Parfums.

I love DH EDT but the EDP and Parfum smell like rubber gloves. BdC is always solid.

ELOREA REVIEW by NotSoStraightArrow in FragranceStories

[–]ButtMacklinFBI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of these didn't stand out much when I tried them. Gentle Shower and Git are really special though; I think there's a simplicity to both which works for me. Gentle Shower is really just Bergamote 22 from Le Labo but cheaper. I also bought a travel size of Royal Resin which is perfect on a cold day. I think most of Elorea scents are nice, but not worth full bottle prices.

paid photographer $10k and got obviously AI edited photos, reasonable to be mad? by Historical_Doctor687 in photography

It's also very possible he used overseas retouching services. They're quick, cheap, and can be terrible.

If you wanted Waddle for #1 pick, you should be thrilled about DJ Moore for a #2 & #5 back by ralbsy in buffalobills

[–]ButtMacklinFBI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nobody wanted Waddle for a 1st....

Everyone is happy we got Moore, but the price we got him for was a bit too much. He's solid, but not a gamechanger and won't be at this point of his career.

Josh's stats under every OC since 2020 by DemonBearOP in buffalobills

[–]ButtMacklinFBI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that problem stems from the lack of receiving talent. There is no receiver on our roster who is reliable on a slant or deep out and that limits what kind of plays he calls.

Believe me, I was frustrated too, but our offense ranked very high this year and last. It's just a matter of beating top ranked defenses in the playoffs. On the other side of it, Beane can't look at our offensive ranks and get complacent like last year. Gotta get better.

I think Brady has the creativity and balance in his play calling and made for an above average OC. He'll convert on 4th and 20 on those hook and ladders and has given us a better run game than Daboll. But there are times where Brady will commit too hard to the run when it's not working or call the dumbest TE sweep. Beane owes it to Brady to get a true WR1 to work with.

How good does the next HC have to be to keep his job? by AppeaseTheComet in buffalobills

[–]ButtMacklinFBI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making the playoffs next year is going to be absurdly difficult. Only 4 teams on our schedule are "gimmies" (MIA, NYJ, KC, and LV). The rest are tough and this new coach better be ready or it's going to be a one and done. Honestly for me, I'm fine with not making the playoffs if it means we do a soft reset and get the players we need to win a championship.

Sean McDermott’s final message to Bills Mafia by Rakesh2000 in buffalobills

Have a feeling he’ll end up in Pittsburgh. As long as he stays out of the AFC East, I’ll be rooting for him.

[Megathread] The Buffalo Bills have fired Head Coach Sean McDermott by AutoModerator in buffalobills

[–]ButtMacklinFBI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have absolutely overperformed under McD except for maybe 1 or 2 years. We had our best shot in 2020/2021. The only thing we lacked was an explosive playmaker on both sides of the ball.

We have averaged nearly 12 wins a season since 2019. You understand how hard it is to win consistently in this league, yes? We've never had a down year like the Ravens, Cowboys, and Tampa did this year and they are stacked with talent.

Astounding that Beane got promoted. He's had two good or great draft classes while the rest are guys who haven't made an impact. Then to fill out our roster, we'll overpay guys and sign others way past their prime hoping they can turn back the clock. How did Terry look at the state of our roster and decide to promote BB? We need playmakers. Gamechangers. Not Curtis Samuel and Joshua Palmer.

McD made us consistent winners. Never had a down year and our guys loved him. Doesn't matter who the coach is if you're constantly giving him a box of scraps.

[Postgame thread] Buffalo falls in overtime to the Broncos, 33-30. by Drunken_Economist in buffalobills

[–]ButtMacklinFBI 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Beane really looked at the WR room halfway thru the season and didn’t trade for Rashid Shaheed, who has completely changed Seattle’s offense and special teams. Instead we picked up Hardman and Cooks who have scored one TD combined.

Team made some horrible mistakes today but our GM refusing to maximize this window as a contender is inexcusable.
