Interested in everyone’s opinions on replica luxury. I ask because, as noted in the previous thread re: Chanel’s price increases, the quality of authentic luxury bags is going way down while the price increases consistently. Specifically Chanel and LV. I’m fascinated in the online rep community and it looks like rep quality has increased exponentially (with genuine materials and 1:1 markings, stitching, hardware, etc). What’s your argument for or against replicas?

How do I go about adding luxury items to my wardrobe/collectibles? That’s one of my New Years resolution to start adding timeliness pieces.. any good strategies folks have used?

Cannot make up my mind on carry on - I have a tumi leather carry on.. but need a new one..

I have come to the realization that I am more attractive with a mask covering my face 😞

As much as I talk about wanting a man to take care of me financially, I have way too much pride to allow it when it actually happens

I don’t sign into teams on Fridays and someone on my project acts like i’m unreachable when they can just text me or email me ugh.

I hate when people use the phrase “I would die for (xyz)” when xyz is something no one would actually die for - like a random cute dog on the internet or whatever. I mean, would you really die for that? It’s cute and all, but, no, I would not die for it.

Every other Friday, I got these farewell emails from my long-time colleagues. I am sad yet I’m too lazy to look for another job.

Need genuine advice
I’m 29 , Bisexual man more inclined towards men

Will it be okay if I marry a woman , asking in terms of my mental health ? I’m succumbing to the family and societal pressure .

What is “the 71”?

I have $400k in student loans, half of which are private. I want to quit my job and this career entirely but there’s nothing I can possibly do to make these damn loans go away without strangling myself financially for the rest of my life or literally dying.

Has anyone else who had omicron experienced their sore throat returning? I’ve had no symptoms for a week and a half, and then just woke up with that same awful scratchy throat 🥴

I was sexually harassed by a male colleague a few years ago (M here) I went from being one of the highest performers in my group 2 years ago to one of the lowest performers and I’m on the verge of being put on a PIP. This has affected my life in so many ways and idk if I can recover from it. I feel helpless and ashamed of what happened and I’ve become completely numb. I wish those around me would’ve shown a little compassion and tried to talk to me instead of assuming I was being lazy.

Hulu commercial times are getting out of hand

Been seeing this guy for 1 year now. I just became an American citizen so have been getting more into politics. I lean left but the guy I’m seeing leans more conservative. He treats me so well and we get along great. Yes we disagree about topics but have respectful conversations and have both become more open minded. He doesn’t think it’s an issue. I feel like the media and the judgement of dating someone on the right is getting to me & making me have negative sabotaging thoughts. Any advice?

This is gonna sound super bigheaded & egotistical but I promise it’s coming from a humble place

I’m what you could call an over achiever. Damn near straight A’s all my life without really trying. Graduated school straight to a six figure job, wrapping up my masters, and I’m in real estate & stocks. I work out often, so I’m fit, and I’m considered a “chad” I guess you could say

I get a lot of praise for these things and sometimes I just don’t know what to say. I say thank you of course (cont)

I really ruined things with the most beautiful girl that’s ever liked me before. I still very much like her but she doesn’t anymore. She said I was asking too much of her during the talking stage (after 1 month, I wanted to talk to her more besides only our weekends - she never texted/called).
Do I try again and give her more space or do I move on? I think she might open up more but just takes time which I didn’t give her

America is so ugly.

My career goal isn’t to make it to MBB or a unicorn or FAANG. It’s to feel fulfilled and challenged as I progress. I can’t be the only one that isn’t title or company chasing.

I probably had COVID this week. Fever Mon-Wed. Slight cough Thursday. Back to normal today. It still sucked a lot, please don’t downplay this.
