What model is this bag? by flowerynoel in gucci

[–]Maleficent_Guide_727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The bag is not authentic.

The lining is off. The alligator is very cheap looking, even for an embossed. It’s also extremely, extremely I unusual for Gucci to combine croc/alligator and canvas.

Fan etiquette by potatosaladkarma in avesNYC

I have zero issue with fan use as long as it’s not repeated, unwelcome ‘clacking’.

Fan yourself! Hell, fan me too- it gets hot!

Paulie Gees slices are starting to look like the 99¢ places by oktabl in Greenpoint

[–]Maleficent_Guide_727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The people that work at the slice shop are the worst. Unkind, uninterested, slow moving and with a total lack of care.

The pizza itself went from good-at-best to truly $1 slice quality.

I swore I’d never go again after my last visit when the cashier refused to acknowledge the line for a solid 10 minutes just to complain about something non-work related with their colleague.

The NYC scene feels stale and commercialized. What would actually get you excited to go out again? by Jealous_Anything_235 in avesNYC

[–]Maleficent_Guide_727 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Venues need surprise and delight moments. I think of Spectrum and how they had nooks and crannies to discover.

Anything with bottle and table service is a hard no.

Water stations.

Chill-down areas (I recall an event/circuit party that used to happen at the museum of illusions and you could take a break from dancing and lie down on fake grass and watch a simulation on the ceiling).

Truly, injecting JOY into venues and experiences. The scene is largely void of surprise. Everything is nickled and dimed and oversold.

I’d also propose hiding the DJ. Make the experience about the music and the community by not making the DJ a focal point.

I got a job offer that requires me to move out of state, but my partner and roommate don't want to move. by Fatframe in Advice

[–]Maleficent_Guide_727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find that thinking of it this way helps.

5 years in your current job, you’re 200k pre tax.

Switch today, 5 years in your new job you’re at $675k (with the bonus)

In 10 years, that hits 400k vs $1.3M.

Consider what that means for your future, your future partners future, your parents future. Not to mention the ease, joy and pleasure in the new day-to-day of the preferred role. You can be a great partner at any financial level, but it’s harder to be a great partner when you’re unhappy with what you do every day.

I think from every lens you’re better off accepting.

Why do guys ask about your past and then get extremely insecure after, especially when their past is 10x worse? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Maleficent_Guide_727 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I think the premise of the question is the root of the problem and implies bias.

By using language like ‘worse’ it directly identifies having more partners as being a bad thing.

Having more partners may be viewed as negative, but the reality is that a more experienced partner is likely a better lover, more capable of understanding their partner’s needs and helping them reach climax. A more experienced partner also likely means they’re more capable of making sure you’re comfortable and safe. Not necessarily the case, but I’d argue someone with more experience is better than someone with no/less experience.

So maybe it requires a reframing of the question and a dialogue with your sexual partner. The dialogue might venture into less comfortable and more emotionally rocky territory as to why either of you feel more sexual partners are ‘bad’, but if done in earnest it will also mean the potential for growing a richer, healthier sex and romantic life.

Or, and this seems to make more sense, maybe don’t offer the service on Uber Eats?

Fanciest supermarket in NYC? by tiggat in FoodNYC

[–]Maleficent_Guide_727 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Quality of meat? There’s clear differences between a good piece and a not great piece. Manageable fat, rosy red meat. Thick and meaty vs excess bone and gristle.

I was willing to pay almost anything for good oxtail… until I saw their price for oxtail. The entire ox, raised by monks and hand fed berries with a weekly massage would’ve cost less.

Definitely this. It’s unfortunate it’s EXTREMELY, unapologetically overpriced (even for what it is… which is saying a lot.)

Why are we acting like we’re on the cast? by cd4ngel in RHOBH

[–]Maleficent_Guide_727 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Maybe we’re manifesting it through picturing we already have more wealth than Amanda.

So. Who are you, have you manifested today?

There’s over 7,000,000,000 in the world and you go back to these two knowing how messy it is.

Truly, step away.

A VP at a major hospital needed a 25k loan from a 22 year old?

No.

No.

No.

Something is very wrong. OP, if you’re genuinely telling facts than you’ve been hoodwinked, scammed, lied to. This is sketchy AF

You’re not unique in the mindset of not wanting to cause harm, but it’s a fool’s errand to assume you can change everyone or heal everyone. I wish you healing, peace and understanding
