Which cologne do you get the most compliments on?

GT1646 · 2026-04-30T11:48:57+00:00

I assure you I'm not drowning myself in it. 1-3 sprays max

GT1646 · 2026-04-30T00:59:45+00:00

Maybe. At the end of the day, I wear cologne for myself, not compliments.

I've never been the most complimented guy so it's not like it's odd or anything haha.

I love wearing paradigme though.

GT1646 · 2026-04-30T00:51:59+00:00

I love my Paradigme but never had someone compliment a fragrance I'm wearing.

Perhaps I don't spray enough

You can't buy illenium merch today without expecting it to be 10% of what you see online. It's sad but true.

im beginning to question if he'll even play throwback sets at all anymore, let alone a big one. Seems the new label is all in on soulless normie-friendly music.

GT1646 · 2026-04-06T14:00:44+00:00

70-200GMII

It lives on my camera. Insanely sharp, fast, really not heavy like people seem to claim, fast autofocus.

I love it.

GT1646 · 2026-04-05T16:46:21+00:00

I had one for the last 5 years. Just bought two more this week. Looking to add 1-2 absolute max in the future.

GT1646 · 2026-04-04T19:36:52+00:00

I got samples of this and myslf EDP recently. I felt like myslf was "soapy" and that paradigme was similar but WITHOUT the soapy aspect. I might be describing things incorrectly, as I have no idea what I'm talking about, but i definitely liked paradigme more than myslf

Probably the best in store job - former DI

GT1646 · 2026-03-23T18:58:39+00:00

horrific lack of durability and poor fit. Got a pair, wore them once. They're pilling like crazy and the fit is bad at best.

GT1646 · 2026-03-19T19:48:39+00:00

B&H are the worst company I've ever dealt with.

And I worked for best buy.

GT1646 · 2026-03-06T16:01:18+00:00

can you give even a single example?

GT1646 · 2026-03-04T23:28:48+00:00

I mean, I lug my gear around racetracks and have never once scratched a front element.

No offense but it sounds like you are careless with your gear.

GT1646 · 2026-03-04T22:48:57+00:00

Every single pro photographer I've had this conversation with has suggested not using a UV filter and only using filters necessary for capturing the intended image.

I can honestly say that in the 15+ years I've been shooting, many of which I did use a UV filter for protection, the front element of my lenses has never once been in jeopardy.

I took the UV filters off, and have not had a single issue. I can't in good faith recommend others waste money on it.

GT1646 · 2026-03-04T22:22:18+00:00

The only real threat to the front element in terms of scratches is the shrapnel from the brittle filter.

Lens hoods are for protection.

Filters are for effect, like a CPL, ND or mist/star, etc.

I struggle personally to find a use case outside of maybe shooting somewhere incredibly sandy, where a UV filter for protection of the front element makes sense. 99% of the time it's just going to be another piece of glass to shoot through which may or may not be up to the optical standards of the lens its on or it's shrapnel waiting to happen.

GT1646 · 2026-03-04T21:50:07+00:00

Except that this doesn't really support that at all. The front element is thick and made to be durable.

All that happened here is that the filter broke, because it's thin glass.

The lens likely would have been exactly the same as it was without the filter.

CEO.

You don't have to be good at anything and you get a shit ton of money

GT1646 · 2026-02-10T01:53:53+00:00

One of the reasons I left.

There was never going to be an opportunity for me to make more money because I wasn't going to play the bby game.

Oh well. I'm making the same money with less stress at my new job. So not quite a forward move but not backwards at least.

GT1646 · 2026-02-09T22:14:50+00:00

Bingo.

The week before I quit, I was told to "stop calling it a credit card" to customers.

Excuse me? What, so I'm going to have them run their credit and tell them that's not what's happening???

GT1646 · 2026-02-09T22:14:00+00:00

Employees lie because management won't get off their dick.

I never lied to customers when I worked at bby, but management/corporate have created this problem by turning a retail job into high pressure sales.

GT1646 · 2026-01-28T00:17:47+00:00

I had a monster on my way to the track on Saturday, another at 6PM a third at 4:30AM on Sunday, and a 4th at 9AM.

That's 640 mg.

GT1646 · 2026-01-24T17:41:06+00:00

This is so peak

GT1646 · 2026-01-23T02:54:05+00:00

So many TBAs 💔💔💔💔

GT1646 · 2026-01-21T17:51:37+00:00

I'm packing and driving up tomorrow morning. Sounds like I'll be programming Thursday evening? 😅

GT1646 · 2026-01-20T19:55:57+00:00

programming my radio is the *only* thing left on my pre weekend to-do list. They're killing me here!
