  • Why do you say that? Do you actually believe that there’s a strict hierarchy of dating that everyone has to stay within? The whole “leagues” BS only sorta exists in society because some people believe in it.

    Reminds me of a story my French teacher told me in HS:

    One year he organized a class trip to Haiti for his students. Weird, I know, but it was a wealthy private school that could afford A) to send a class abroad and B) the security to reassure their parents that they’d be safe. Anyway, in the class there was a “plus-sized” girl who would get picked on by the rich skinny girls all the time. Queue the trip and apparently it became such a issue for the girl getting cat-called on the streets that a guard was assigned to be with her 24/7. None of the thin, fit, SoCal circa-early-Naughties, girls had this problem but in Haiti being “plus sized” meant you had access to lots of food and were wealthy. Anyway, moral of the story (and this part is apocryphal but was nevertheless told to me) is that the girl at some point exchanged contact info with a guy she met there, one of her prospective suitors, and kept a correspondence with him for many years until they were able to save enough money to meet in person again, here, stateside where they eventually got married. Eye of the beholder.

    I have lots of nice jeans. I’m currently roating through some Onis Secret Denims and S.Da 45th anniversaries right now. Been into denim for a long time at this point. Even did the beach wash on my brand new APC PNSes in an /fa thread back in the day.

    At one point in time, right when I was checking Rawrdenim multiple times per day every day, I never washed 'em but once every year max. Nowadays, I wash about once or twice per month because I don’t like high contrast fades and lifestyle changes (not a student anymore) make it so my jeans feel dirtier quicker. I just turn them inside out and wash separately with a half cap of Woolite Dark Defense and air dry.


  • Flip your selfies along the Y-axis. Most phones have a setting to do this automatically. That’s the “you” that you’re most used to seeing in a mirror. It won’t fix everything, like the limitations of focal length, lighting, or camera quality, but if you’re the type to really obsess over how much “worse” you look in selfies, that trick can do a lot.
