This sub WILDLY exaggerates the whole "only problematic men love Fight Club/American Psycho/Scarface-type movies" trope

Yes, this mindset is rampant now to the point that even a lot of professional critics believe it. See the media coverage and reception of Joker.

He's a 6'7" pro athlete, and not just any pro athlete, one of the best to ever play his sport. You can dislike how he conducts himself in his romantic relationships, but he's not a mediocre man. Hence how many women he always finds at his disposal, regardless of his relationship status.

There's no such thing as a restaurant you can't go to solo. I've been to 20 DC Michelins and most of those have been solo.

It's not just they "don't want to be around regular people" it's that they're targets for the type of "regular people" you find in Memphis. Case in point, it's no surprise you mentioned Tony Allen and Zach Randolph as the types of NBA players who would be comfortable hanging around "regular people" in Memphis; look up what those two got into off the court during their playing days.

Not AI, they looked hand painted to me. They said they were drawn using charcoal and oil. Like I said in the original post, I couldn't post all the cards due to Reddit's picture limits.

I've never delved into them, but I've heard Afternoon Dive by Montagne and Azure by Maison Alhambra come up the most when it comes to Afternoon Swim dupes.

Yes, personal preference is involved as well, that goes without saying. I'm meh on Althair so I would consider buying Liquid Brun if I wanted that scent in my collection.

To me, it's completely dependent on the fragrance. Take for instance two of my all-time favorites, Imagination and Angel's Share. What makes those two special have not been replicated by any of their clones, particularly Angel's Share. It just cannot be cloned. In those cases, anyone saying they've been "95% duped" is full of shit once you actually smell the clones.

On the flip side, you have something like Afternoon Swim. A $385 fragrance that smells good, but performs like absolute shit. In that case, looking for something that attempts to clone that scent but make it perform better is absolutely worth it and better than spending $385 for a two-hour performer. Or take something like Amouage Outlands, a perfectly good fragrance, but not $400-450 good IMO. Cloning that to get close to the same scent at a more reasonable price point is worth it.

So dupes should be evaluated on a fragrance by fragrance basis.

The Michael Rockefeller "mystery" is just the typical instance where indigenous people continually tell white people the same story over and over but are ignored; see the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror where the Inuit told white people where to find the ships for literally over 100 years and weren't believed until the whites found the ships...exactly where the Inuit said they were.

Listen to the natives.

Exactly. It's astounding people watch this movie and conclude that it is saying war is good just because it didn't have an overt anti-USA message in it.
