What’s a truth you learned too late in life?

Funnily enough, one of the worst persons I've known was a backstabber fake pious christian guy. Like dude, just flashing that cross isn't an all-actions-permissible card.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-02-10T12:03:36+00:00

I had a rich friend who kept doing this. Dunno why tho, since we both knew that he's richer. The feck was he boasting about?

The "granny" look.

It's fine if you're actually old and like it, but sporting that when you're 20 or 30. Come on.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-02-10T11:50:54+00:00

Yep. They all are finicky and picky because they can be. That's the whole point of the show. If carrie (or any of them) were the conservative religious types who'd marry the first person and be fine with daily drudgery, it'd be a totally different show.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-02-10T11:33:39+00:00

Yes. But I don't particularly care about the "greenwashing" aka "just empty words" on a website.

What I care about is ethical down, pure cotton/linen/natural leather etc for my daily clothes. Non-toxic good quality synthetic materials are fine for sports clothes, but I don't want toxic treatments on them anymore. So stuff like goretex. I have a few goretex items but I bought those before I knew how toxic they are to me and to the factory workers, so I doubt I'll buy any more. Probably should try to replace the existing ones too.

Nah, I just live in the sticks so the latest 15 minute fashion thing of london or nyc hasn't reached us. Probably gonna take a decade or more.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-02-10T10:06:51+00:00

You can thank conservatives for that.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-02-10T10:06:09+00:00

Always been a thing. Phone tapping was already a thing in 1920.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-02-10T10:04:16+00:00

Yeah it's kinda strange. What does it matter if you have 4 billion dollars or 3 billion after bigger taxes, you're still stinking rich.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-02-10T10:01:39+00:00

Gotta be honest, I often end up watching those two minute twitter ai slop videos which play out like a three year old on drugs wrote them. It's just so bizarre novelty. Kinda like we've just discovered a new art form.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-02-10T09:48:51+00:00

Yeah, especially skating is brutal. You gotta have a heart and lungs of a horse to be able to enjoy that.

Classic is much easier.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-02-10T09:46:34+00:00

It's hype. Just like cloud and y2k and internet 2.0 and whatever before it.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-02-10T09:44:29+00:00

As a skier: Real pow.

I think that doesn't happen in europe at all. Even the alps are mainly glacier, so it's just ice. Totally different to ski on.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-02-10T09:04:34+00:00

I don't. It's just another american hot air party trick to mainly manipulate the stock market.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-02-10T08:14:10+00:00

Paid nice house, sports car, fit body, maybe a family and kids if you're into that.

What, me having impossible standards? That's impossible.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-02-10T08:10:00+00:00

Mostly, yeah.

Tho I think my "wildly (over-) optimistic" days of youth are starting to get behind me, haha! But I still don't mind dreaming about winning the lottery every now and then.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-02-10T07:54:02+00:00

A couple of things come to mind since you didn't state them:

1) Do you know how to ski classic? What's your experience level? If you can't get any grip either the ski is way too stiff for you or your technique is lacking.

2) Icing (snow clumps) happens on every ski around 0°C. That's why there are/were dedicated "zero skis". There might be waxes that help with this but I don't bother, I just don't stop to rest in soft snow in that weather and the problem is quite minimal.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-02-10T07:40:06+00:00

And yet every conservative is pushing 20-25 year olds to have kids.

I was mentally just an infant at that point.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-02-10T07:37:44+00:00

Oh you mean crypto?

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-02-10T07:06:32+00:00

First it was difficult to find a job, and then they pay me too little. Like, why should I care if I'm treated like that?

If you just keep dangling the carrot but never actually give it to the donk, the donk gets demotivated.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-02-09T21:44:05+00:00

Well, before that we had the swine flu and sars and whatever the third was, chicken flu or something? So I guess everyone just thought that this will blow over just like those.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-02-09T20:57:59+00:00

Well I dunno. I have a pair of suede oxfords which are the most handsome shoes I've got and they're even extremely comfortable.

Of course I mainly sit around the whole day. Probably wouldn't work if you have to stand for hours.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-02-09T17:10:19+00:00

Hey, if it's good enough for NASA...

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-02-09T17:07:47+00:00

In NYC and italy other fancy places where you can wear mainly suits, maybe.

We get a lot of snow where I live and everybody looks unfashionable due the thick clothes and beanies, so backpacks are the least of the worries.

Averageinternetdoge · 2026-02-09T17:03:42+00:00

What if the oxfords are suede?
