  • I feel you. I’m 6’4" and the biggest hurdle is pants and shirt length. Unless they have tall sizes all shirts become halter tops if I even slightly raise my arms.

    Pants are a pain in the ass too because I need at least 34" length for them to not be capris on me. Most companies just make all their pants 32".

    There is a reason 90% of my clothing has come from Eddie Bauer for the last 15 years. I’m not particularly brand loyal. They just make clothes that fit me, and most companies don’t.


  • I can’t be the only person who instinctively trusts a product/brand less the more I see ads for it.

    The biggest example is alcohol brands. It’s almost guaranteed that the more advertising a brand does, the more middle-low quality is. (There will always be the ultra-cheap option with no marketing of course.)

    It’s mind boggling to me that in this modern interconnected era that this isn’t obvious to everybody.

    I’ve had two root canals. One in 5th grade, and one in college. Local anesthesia only. It was a long painful process. Both teeth eventually failed anyway, and had to be pulled, and replaced with implants.

    So my opinion is, if you can afford it just skip the extra misery and have them yank it out and replace it from the start.

    Catcher In The Rye

    What a miserable experience reading the whiney thoughts of that little shithead.

    Maybe it would have been more relatable if I read it at 15, but I read it at like 28 and it was insufferable.

    A close second is The Great Gatsby. I kept waiting for something interesting to happen and then just like that it was over.
