How do y'all deal with people you suspect who are envious/jealous of your material possessions and you as a person? Specifically, how do you deal with passive-aggressive back-handed-joking sarcasm that skew/contort false views of the situation and of you?

I thought I was pushing foot fashion past flip-flops just a little bit with my Vibrams when a couple guys showed up at the outdoor In-n-Out in bare feet

I can't tell who's spattering the bourgeoisie the most anymore :(

When women get pregnant they have to stay sober for 9 months. I cannot imagine that.

Women are incredible.

Of all of the extraordinary and unreal stresses, pain, emotions, exhaustion, body-changing, fear, health risks, lifestyle and financial impact that pregnancy, birth and post-birth put women through and you pick... not being able to have a drink for less than a year as the point of astonishment?

This is the most "young male under 20" post I've seen all day.

I agree wholeheartedly with everything you said above.

Cramps, backaches, vomiting, swollen feet, the responsibility of carrying a human child inside of you, the painful process of giving birth. And after women have to deal with breastfeeding, and all the hardships of actually raising a child.

You guys probably know it was a joke, and it was a stupid one. It was just an observation I have never thought of and I tried and failed to present in a lighthearted way.

I'm sorry care-tags.

i tried searching for the new york thread by typing "new york" into the search bar, then i realized that we could never resist having a thread where it is only referred to as "the big apple"

not sure if we're allowed to advertise for our friends on here -- if not just delete this -- but a super cool friend in beijing has started selling some phone cases recently. they're photos of collages that he's assembled over the past few months, and then produced by his friends. not really sure what the prices are, but they're for all sizes of recently made iphones (pls save me all of your pro-android drivel). if there's any interest i can get prices and more details from him. im coming back to the US in a month or so and can bring some back with me and then mail them to people~

Spoiler:

there are also like 10+ others than i don't have pictures of atm

i have personally purchased the obama making out with xi jinping (or chavez? who knows!) one, as well as the one with the big mouth. theyre really sick in person

There is a pair of Mirage speakers on my local craigslist for 20% of retail price(5k ->1k) and I want them soooo bad and I know I could justify it (as they would work for every future living space everywhere... but I know I can't reasonably spend that as a college student.

I've considered liquidating my wardrobe to get them.

I've been following ARGs and theyre so crazy and interesting. I really love how theyre in some uncanny valley level of information. It's literally just reading hidden stuff but its so unsettling.

My favorite rn is the Erratas case (tbh i actually like the associated KFCMC album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zxMBtlrJbbI)

It's crazy that three of the biggest furniture manufacturing companies were founded in west Michigan. I wonder why that is. is it just coincidence?


Also why the FUCK does an Eames chair from Herman Miller cost 4000 dollars

(if you want a Mirra or similar, now'd be the time to get one. I've loved both of mine since 1999 or so.)

I just discovered that pressing volume buttons on a paired Bluetooth keyboard will take pictures, just as if I'd pressed the button on my phone/iPad itself.

Expect to see more fit pics from me holding the edge of a keyboard for no obvious reason.
