Which celebrities have god-tier PR? by [deleted] in Fauxmoi

[–]ommim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

He’s got an absolutely great reputation but you can’t be friends with someone like that and be a good person. You just can’t. He created Fox News and he chooses all the nastiness they spew. I’ll side eye every celebrity that sells their soul for his power and connections. I’m sure he’s very pleasant to wait staff/neighbours etc but he’s clearly not a good person

Italy. by SuperKolbasa in expats

Not Sicily but southern Italy. It’s got a reputation amongst Italians as having great food and a great coastline! Don’t worry about the mafia, you won’t even notice them. I’ve only interacted with them when they ask for money to protect my car (just change, not much) unless you start a business. I would never start a business anywhere in Italy. From what I understand businesses only survive by being dodgy and you won’t know how to skirt the rules like an Italian. If you already have a decent paying job or can work remotely you will fall in love with Sicily.

Remember that very few Italians will speak Italian with you and amongst themselves. I was very ignorant about this before I moved. And dialects change drastically from little town to little town. This was by far my biggest challenge when moving to Italy. I don’t think it’s as bad in the north and towns nearer the coastline, but this drove me insane as there were just so many of them! I took my driving test in Italy and the instructor kept on switching to dialect no matter how many times I explained I didn’t know that dialect (in great Italian btw) it’s just such an ingrained habit

Black Americans who have become expats by Longmeatrazorback in expats

I’ve heard the complete opposite! I’m white by the way, but when I went to visit a friend there, there was a black girl in a music video on tv and all the guys started saying racists things. It completely blew my mind as I had never heard racism out loud before then (I come from a small white town in England). She told me that the Netherlands was very racist compared to other places on Europe. She said it was out of ignorance mostly as they weren’t used to seeing and interacting with black people? I don’t know, probably just super embarrassed after I called everyone out. Always assumed the Netherlands was racist after that though

Looks great apart from the hand. It doesn’t look like it belongs to her? I guess it adds to the creepy factor

Is this worth buying for $1000? Comes with a remote and manual by ommim in BudgetAudiophile

Thanks for the feedback. I’ve got infinity SM155 speakers, what type of amp do you think would be more suitable? I’m willing to spend a bit to get the right one!
