Seoul has some of the best plastic surgeons and injection techniques in all of Asia. I've seen beautiful work come out of South Korea.

Howard Hughes never would have sat on an uncovered toilet.

But does he wear Kleenex boxes on his feet?

This. I know more than a few OF guys who struggle to make it worth the legwork involved (finding models, releases, editing time, marketing, etc). It was once huge money for many creators, but the market is saturated and members fickle.

I was just in PV, as well as CDMX and Monterrey. No tanks, no automatic weapons, no fear. Mexico's border towns have always had a level of danger. Much of the interior isn't any more dangerous than Chicago, LA or NYC when it comes to day-to-day murders and crime. Mexico gets a bad rap from a fearful middle America. It's a wonderful country and an easy place to visit.

I understand what you mean. Old school banks are a dying breed. I have accounts with Brown Brothers Harriman because my family had accounts with them when I was growing up. It's one of those banks like you describe, albeit they now have fewer brick & mortar locations than they used to. Sure, I like the convenience of big box banks and their newer tech/apps, but there's something comforting about having a banker who you know, who's known you for awhile and you can reach easily and directly during working hours.

You guys are fortunate to have not put all of your eggs into one basket. Roku, not so much it seems. They're in a world of fucking hurt right now.

A new generation of 'escorts' (and I use the term loosely) think this is Grindr while getting paid. For some, it might work for a short time, but I can't see this as the norm. It feels like this guy is looking to film content. He's not really an escort. He's looking for same/like.

Just a couple of corrections: HB started the site from multiple late-night brainstorm sessions with then-escort Aaron Lawrence. Aaron is a smart guy who understands gaps in markets and he saw a review site as something that didn't exist and was needed. HB agreed. The message board became the branch off and both were wildly popular, with very strong daily internet traffic. That traffic is what allowed the site to financially self-support from ads and sponsored content. When HB died, his family had zero clue about this side of his life. It was tough for his mother, who was still alive. She was pretty 'old school' and when she found everything out, she was adamant about just shutting it all down. It was her prerogative. I can't blame her for wanting closure. It was absolutely devastating to her.

Some people don't want to be educated. This appears to be one of those people. We have decades of medical fact to base smart decisions on. If you just 'feel' you're perfectly healthy without the bloodwork to back it up, I can't deal in that level of foolish. Those people are the problem and frankly, the ones who continue to spread things like HIV and other STDs. Always know your status. The truth can sting. I'm not going to babytalk a grown adult.

We've truly gone into plaid at this point

There's your first mistake. I have all of Jersey blocked. Made life a lot better.

You can't put toothpaste back in the tube. He can pay reputation firms cash money to do this properly if he wants. It won't ever be 100% gone.

This is one of the dumbest, most uninformed things I've read on this forum in a long while.

I sat through this. I nearly regretted it. The ending was so needlessly showy. Sending her onto 45th was just silly. Chastain is a talent, but it was tough to connect with this production emotionally. It's just so hyper-minimal.

Babylon has now been released for viewing on Paramount+ Saw it the other night and thought it was long, but brilliant. Beautiful, one-take shots. The DP and Choreographer must have spent eons putting these scenes together. I wouldn't call it trash. It's epic, grand, overblown, sure, but not trash. Some great performances from familiar faces. It's also a very raw look at the transition between silent film and talkies, which must have played hell for the entire industry.

I wonder who the Biden admin will choose for the next TV judge

It depends on the series. Some do, some don't. With Lasso, they'll release a new episode each Wed (12 episodes this season).

Haters gonna hate. Like Hooboy once said, you know you're doing something right if they throw rocks. Creating a public persona, posting photos, expressing your views, selling yourself: These are things that aren't always going to sit well with random strangers on the internet. The worst thing you can do to your enemy is to ignore them.

To this, I say nicely done sir 👍 If you leased pre-COVID, the industry seriously undervalued where the future of the used car market would be. That said, used car values are beginning to stabilize with black/blue book values normalizing. As the industry is able to get allocations and availability in order, used cars become less important as they once were. The vehicle I just got rid of kept its value very well, leading me to one-pay this next lease along with the dealership cutting me a check for the remainder. All said, if you're in a lease and you have equity in that car, the time is now to roll-out into something new (using that equity to your advantage) or simply buy out the lease and walk away ahead.

Money factor on leases is not great at the moment. The deals they run in the papers and television commercials are usually the stripped down models with a decent amount of cash down. They have 1 or 2 of them on the lot, so actually getting that deal is next to impossible. Your best bet is to take advantage of the falling prices on the used-car market. The major issues with Carvana are soon going to flood the market with a ton of used vehicles, driving down prices.

CoolSculpting- as well as more invasive things like lipo- always tend to have high rebound statistics. You can't just suck out the fat and expect the problem to magically be gone. You first have fix your mental relationship with food to have long term weight loss. That kind of discipline is not an easy thing. To be honest, CoolSculpting is more for those who only have 5-8 lbs left to lose. It's most successful for very small pockets of fat (lower abs, flanks, fat on side pecs)

How does this qualify? He doesn't look surgically enhanced.

A beautifully shot travelogue with the mix of Levy's wit and humor, along with his somewhat reluctance to see the world. He's a bit of a curmudgeon, but a likable one. A curious one. https://www.apple.com/tv-pr/originals/the-reluctant-traveler/ I enjoyed the series, especially getting to see several places I've stayed at. As with everything Apple TV+ does, it's a gorgeous show and a visual love-letter to wanderlust.
