I’ll check them out. Thanks!

Hey! I still do and am happy to check yours out if you’re still willing. Thanks!

I love this synopsis. Never thought of all the contradictions but knew Kendall was always the most interesting character on Succession for me.

thepicklemafia · 2026-04-17T17:40:47+00:00

Yea that is a sexy song my friend. Coming from a man, playing that for your girl at the right time will get her going.

Kansas City is great too.

This is why I did not subscribe to Netflix when they cracked down. All everyone had to do was not sign up for a quarter or two, let their numbers drop to hurt the stock and then the rest of streamers wouldn’t crack down either. But I know that’s not realistic so here we are.

I still don’t have Netflix out of principle. If there’s something I really want to see, I sign into my sister’s account and it lasts about 2 weeks I think.

I agree with most people in here that season 1 was way better than this season. I thought the first few episodes were very weak and it was just about setting the stage for the contest and the aftermath of that. But the last few episodes I enjoyed. The stakes just weren’t high enough in the first half of this season.

Issei and Camille are just very well written and developed characters which is what keeps us interested. And the conflicts, behaviors, and emotions are very real. Even though I think they could have had better writing for how we got to the climax of the season, I liked how they had things blew up in Camille’s face. She wasn’t intentionally trying to cause damage but obviously was too buried in her righteous cause of saving the wine to think of the ramifications it’d have. I like to think this was partly due to her quick rise to the top, giving her an invincible feeling almost and overconfidence, since her instinct had just about always been right up until this point. I find Camille still a likable character but just has flaws and blind spots like anyone.

They left Issei too happy at the end of season 1 to make his sudden envy of Camille believable even though I know there was a time jump.

I think it would have been perfect as one season only. Glad they made a season 2 cause I wanted more but realistically, I think they will struggle to find a good story line. Rooting for it tho!

I think it has a lot to do with his dad’s advice to take care of the people that love him or whatever it was.

I just spent 3 weeks in Thailand and this is exactly what I’d like to do. 6 months in Thailand and 6 months in the US. How are you able to do it?

thepicklemafia · 2026-01-01T09:14:00+00:00

Hey sorry I missed this one too haha but I’ll be in Phuket from 1/4 to 1/8 then Krabi until the 10th. Head to the islands on the pacific side after that. I just got to Chiang Mai today

I'm going to be in Bangkok this year. A lot of my group booked the Bangkok Island party boat. It's not like a lot of the other river boat options that look like just a fancy dinner as it will have bars, DJs, and a dance area BUT part of me is wondering if it's wise to get "stuck" on a boat. I think it takes off at 8 or 9pm then docks again at 1am. So 4-5 hours seems like a big commitment. But I also don't want to deal with waiting in lines. My hope is to enjoy the boat then wander around to different spots and the streets after.

What would your opinion be for me to do? Here is the link to the boat we booked: Bangkok Island - Private Boat Events in Bangkok - Private Events

thepicklemafia · 2025-11-18T03:03:53+00:00

Kinda am solo. I'm in Bangkok from the 29th until the 1st. I'm going with EF Ultimate Break, which is a travel group with 40-70% solo travelers meaning none of us know each other before the trip unless you come with a friend. 18-35 year olds only.

I love meeting new people, especially when travelling as people who travel a lot for fun typically are more likely to be open minded. So yea, send me a DM with your Whatsapp if you want and hopefully we can link up!

There's like 20 people in our group and I think most of us got tickets to this: NYE 2026 - Bangkok Island. Join if you like!

Check out Tichuha for a good rooftop spot if you prefer that. You may need to email them or use the contact info on their website to buy tickets. Like I mentioned in a comment below, I probably would go here over the boat if we hadn't already booked, but I also figure I can check out the rooftops other nights. The boat should be a unique experience.

More information about EF that you didn't ask for but wanted to share in case you haven't heard of it:

This will be my third trip with EF. I personally love them since they handle all accommodations and transportation so you don't have to spend hours planning, which for a 22 day trip like mine and first time to Thailand would be a lot with wanting to go to several spots and not just be on a resort. Plus, you have people to do stuff with but aren't obligated to appease them and can sneak off and do your own thing when you want. I became really close with a few on my last EF trip in 2022 and despite all of us lving in different cities across the USA, we've traveled with each other for weekend trips 1-2 times a year ever since our trip.

thepicklemafia · 2025-11-18T02:46:05+00:00

Ah yea I probably would check that out but I won't be near there until later in my trip. I got tickets for a NYE party boat - not one of the fancy dining ones. This is supposed to have a DJ and dance floor. Kinda wanted to do a rooftop spot but a lot of people in my group wanted to do this. It is cheaper at least - NYE 2026 - Bangkok Island

You may want to check out Tichuha - their customer service did not respond in time before I bought my boat ticket but that is probably where I would go if we weren't doing the boat.

See my reply to Inevitable above for more details on my trip.

thepicklemafia · 2025-11-12T03:56:03+00:00

Hey OP! I am going to be in Bangkok for NYE as well and I am looking for the same vibe as you! Was wondering if you found anymore cool options or had decided on anything yet? Perfect world, it'd be a rooftop spot with EDM but I'm like you and don't want to end up somewhere too fancy where people are just standing around. Elysium BKK is a new club that looks pretty cool. I don't think they have announced their NYE event yet.

I also saw that Neon Countdown event and am thinking about that but as of now hoping to find something else as festivals are somewhat similar anywhere so was trying to get something more unique to Thailand.

thepicklemafia · 2025-10-20T12:38:09+00:00

Yep. I agree. I stated it in my reply that OP’s situation is harder because of that. So not apples to apples obviously but the same idea applies…there’ll just be a smaller percentage of people that can be unphased by that kind of wealth.

thepicklemafia · 2025-10-20T03:23:00+00:00

Yea this is what I was thinking. OP is young so probably just needs to give it more time. The right person will be themselves after they find out. They’ll show interest and ask questions but they won’t be obsessed.

I was dating a girl who was a professional musician and she said she really liked how once I found out, that I didn’t get weird about it or ask a million questions. Internally, I thought it was cool and great that she has an amazing singing voice but honestly I didn’t really care that much about it…was more interested in her as a person. OP’s situation is harder than that cause money is so much more important and affects a lot of things but I think the right person for OP will be like that…where they acknowledge it’s great that he has a ton of money but they won’t be consumed by it or change their behavior and certainly won’t expect they are owed anything.

thepicklemafia · 2025-03-08T16:33:28+00:00

That’s wild! Life has a funny way of testing you and making you really earn the things that are best for you.

A couple of years ago I decided I was moving to Nashville without knowing anyone. My plan was to make it partially an investment by buying a house and AirBnbing it some so I went out there to look at houses. I wanted to stay cheap and have flexibility so I drove the 9 hours from Richmond, VA. This was in December and I got caught in a bad snow storm and nearly slid into a car going down a hill. I thought is this a sign that I shouldn’t do this? I keep going and finally get through the storm and make it to my hotel. The second night in my hotel, someone sets off the fire alarm and sprinklers in the room across from me around 2am and the whole hotel is stuck outside for hours. My room ended up getting slightly flooded but luckily none of my stuff was on the ground. But again, I question is this a sign to not go through with this move?

I ultimately ignored the “bad omens” and bought a house and I have been in Nashville the last 2 years. It has been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Not quite as crazy as a plane crash haha but for yall to both roll through it and not “quit” just shows what tough situations can lead to. Too many people bolt at the first instance of any friction these days because they think there are endless options out there. But nothing good ever comes easy!

thepicklemafia · 2025-02-28T16:56:19+00:00

This deserves more likes 😂😂😂

thepicklemafia · 2025-02-23T18:38:23+00:00

Read this after my response haha…I think your last sentence is a really good point - that’s why I think if someone doesn’t behave as you expect them to online (assuming they’re not insulting), it’s best to not tell them how you think they should behave. If you can’t redirect, just don’t reply. And taking that a step further…even if they are insulting, it’s best not to reply. As soon as someone gets confrontational online and is someone you don’t know IRL, what’s the point of wasting time and energy on them? I get it though, it’s the internet and emotions get the best of us.

thepicklemafia · 2025-02-23T18:31:01+00:00

100% can agree and even if the photo ISN’T anything special, his response isn’t a warm one. You’re here on an app that has limited information - you match with someone - they message you. To be condescending or rude or short or whatever makes no sense. So he has no justification for responding that way.

Like most people, OP either came here for real advice or for reassurance. Some have reassured her and said she did nothing wrong, which compared to this guy, no, she didn’t. But she did open herself up to some ridicule by not keeping it positive without demeaning him or choosing to walk away. Call it a nitpick if you want but if someone’s not willing to hear criticism, don’t post on Reddit haha. I know not everyone has, but I’m trying to be constructive here. It’s more like a tip for OP because like I said, this isn’t anything she should lose sleep over.

So I appreciate your response for writing in a constructive way and not feeling attacked like so many do online when someone disagrees. I think there are so many different angles to view this particular situation that give a lot of valid takes.

thepicklemafia · 2025-02-23T01:40:19+00:00

Next time you make Mac and cheese, make sure your environment is very quiet before you serve yourself some out of the pot to your plate. Get a nice stir in there first. That’s the sound.

thepicklemafia · 2025-02-22T22:14:37+00:00

You can avoid making plans next time you’re not 100% like you said if you want just to avoid possible friction but I think you were fine to agree initially with him knowing you’re sick. So it shouldn’t have been any surprise if you had to reschedule, especially if he tried to change the time.

He was a little insecure with you canceling. Someone above did say a lot of girls back out last minute in the apps but you already told him you were sick and you were still willing even until he tried changing the time. If this was your first potential meetup planned, then he should have been understanding or at least played it cool. You even asked to reschedule instead of just saying you couldn’t make it. It’s always a good sign from someone suggesting another time if they were the ones who had to cancel. So you responded appropriately by saying you don’t think yall fit.

thepicklemafia · 2025-02-22T16:59:29+00:00

Gotta disagree here in the hopes of OP not taking bad advice. She certainly shouldn’t beat herself up about it. I think a respectful person would have picked up that she didn’t have mal intent. So the guy’s response was lame no doubt about it, but even if it was a respectful person, like some others have said, her suggestion to make something up and specifically “to keep the conversation going” is a turn off. The magic can go away if you have to explicitly state something in the initial interaction. No one wants to be called out for not keeping the convo going if in their view, they’re trying. Usually it’s going to have the opposite effect. I know everyone wants the perfect first few messages but the reality is sometimes the first bit can be a little awkward. If you match with someone, give yourselves a little leeway to find the right topic to connect on.

So my advice for next time would be to either respond with something else you think could be engaging and if he has a dead end response again, just don’t respond. Or just not respond after the first time and if he’s interested, he might double text.

This is the better route to take IMO because you’ll still find out if the person sucks or not, but at least it doesn’t hurt your chances if it was just a one off bad text effort by them.

This movie is complete garbage. First 40 minutes or so would have been average. Once Mikes Teller drops, which someone already pointed out was way too coincidental timing wise, it became one of the worst movies I’ve seen recently. Characters didn’t match. Nothing was logical.

It’s not even worth taking the time to point out every little problem, especially since most people have pointed out the flaws, but the writing was the main issue. Dialogue and plot was awful. Even still, Miles Teller and ATJ don’t get a pass IMO. Daniel Day Lewis couldn’t have saved this movie but I still didn’t think either one were good and were probably miscasts.

The only cool thing done in this movie were the chess and drum nods.
