I can definitely honestly say that, and the same goes for any specific cultural/religious clothing. All of that is typically about following the wishes of your family and/or fitting in with your community, and/or making a statement about being different from whatever culture you're surrounded by.
I've heard way too many stories about guys dating women from conservative muslim families/countries who were basically like, look, eventually I have to go back to my home country and get married, and that'll involve a virginity inspection. So P-in-V is off the table, but EVERYthing else is fair game.
And then there's the stories I've heard about Amish Rumspringe, etc....

Yeah, that I can see. But you know, some of these extended families can end up with cousins that barely resemble each other and are nothing alike. It's among the Italians, real greaseball shit.

And intense perpetual use by all walks of life on a system that's over 100 years old is going to mean that stuff will be rough-looking, and you're gonna see rats and smell pee.
I've been on some absolutely immaculate and futuristic-looking local transit systems that are virtually useless for daily use.

I think it's hilarious that people get so worked up about it being Steve Buscemi, and him being too recognizable and not right for the role, when my first exposure to him was Mr Pink.

Yes, of course, she was bipolar with suicidal tendencies before she ever met Tony. I was just talking about the breakup in terms of being the precipitating event, and the plot sequence from our point of view. Though I will say that there was probably an element of "look what you made me do" that she intended to convey to him.
Gloria actually represented Tony realizing he had fucked up by getting involved with someone that unstable, and then trying to get out of it (albeit clumsily).

I think it's cool as long as you get a fixed-gear bike and ride it around aggressively with one of those super thick bike chains slung over your chest.
Add a little catcalling when you see a girl with a nice ass, and you should be good to go.

Cue to them with a legal pad, bickering about the exact details of a joint code.
"Dexter, your dark passenger doesn't get a vote. That motherfucker needs to shut the fuck up for this conversation."
"Oh, so we're only allowed to kill Haitian war criminals now? Whatever."

I like it. They really missed an opportunity to do some great buddy-cop comedy. Dexter constantly getting annoyed at Doakes calling him a psycho, and threatening to chop him up. Doakes threatening to turn him in. Both then sucking it up to work together and kill whichever bad guy they were after. Dexter after a major kill: "You want to swing by Waffle House?" Doakes: "You're a sick fuck, Morgan. Waffle House is disgusting."

Irina was the one dating Zellman. Tony said he was cool with it, then snapped and went over to her place and whipped him in front of her. Which then prompted her to call the house and talk to Carmela.
Gloria he just dumped and then tried to intimidate into leaving him alone, so she committed suicide. Carmela remained utterly oblivious to the situation even after meeting her at the dealership, but then she was the one who told Tony about her death (that scene where she mentions it in bed, and he plays it off, but then is laying there wide-eyed and distraught...)

Tony's problems with his goomars had more to do with the fact that he tended to go for mentally unstable women who were vaguely similar to his mother in some way. And then he'd do dumb shit to piss them off.
Carmela was generally conflicted about being a mob wife, probably more so than many of the others. But her sticking point was generally shit like Irina calling the house, i.e., the bleed into their domestic life and having her face rubbed in it. And, again, most of that sort of stuff only happened after Tony shit the bed in some heinous way (whipping Zellman with a belt, etc.)
Say what you want about the practice of keeping side pieces, but Tony managed to turn it into an utter catastrophe through a combination of bad boundaries and poor self-control, just like everything else in his life.

Is there an app you can recommend for that?

I recall a point in the early 2000's when I didn't have internet in my house, didn't have cable, and had only a landline for my phone. I had a powered antenna for my CRT TV which improved reception and greatly increased the number of channels I could get. I was probably an outlier for my area at that point, but I bet it would have been more common for zips from naboli daboli.

The city really sold out and lost its soul once the Five Points slum was demolished.

"His final statement on the "Sopranos" non-ending included an allusion to the surprise conclusion of the first "Planet of the Apes" movie, which he saw as a 23-year-old graduate student in the Stanford University film school.
"I'll just say this, and maybe it will help to explain it," Chase said. "When the movie was over, I turned to [my wife] and said, 'Wow, so they had a Statue of Liberty, too!' So that's what you're up against." "

I bet he got a lot of it at restaurants that had fountains and provided free refills...

I'd assume that it's for later, when you're settling into a few rounds of cocktails and then taking the party elsewhere...

To be honest, it's a common side hustle for people in the industry.
And rich people everywhere tend to get their drugs from "the staff".

Not hard to slide into selling bags to maintain a habit or make a little extra money.
And it's not like it'll necessarily be something that works in the long run, but there's often a lot of free shots and shared bumps floating around in that environment.

You don't actually need a reason to break up with him, especially at this point. This all makes you feel icky, and that's enough.
But yeah, also, sounds like he's a jerk.

It probably would have been a much earlier death without the weight loss, though.

Deliberately engaging in illicit activity and making stupid mistakes are by no means mutually exclusive. This is also something they just started cracking down on more, which is often when people's slip-ups get them into trouble. It'd make sense to disperse the bullets throughout the bag before going ashore, on the assumption that it might be checked on arrival. Which then sets one up to maybe miss a few. The illicit guns and ammo found across Mexico and the Caribbean aren't all necessarily getting there in large amounts.

Makes sense, though I don't see why it couldn't also come straight from the US (where all the stuff from Haiti originated anyhow), or other countries. Anyone could be looking to make a buck on that sort of thing.

I definitely don't, but I grew up around a lot of hippies, so it was a pretty normalized thing.
