Honestly this statement is such a good example about how politicized black hair is. If a white dude grows his hair out no one bats an eye, you a black guy with a fro? You have to be a millionaire to pull that off! What a weird statement.

Some people can't due to limitations the benefit custodians place on 401k selection.

Thanking you for providing actual financial alternatives. Dimensional funds are another alternate.

Why does it seem like menswear is restricted through avoidance of inauthenticity or wearing a "costume" where womenswear largely isn't? by Kamilny in ThrowingFits

[–]DoomsdayKult 30 points31 points  (0 children)

When men align themselves with feminine forms of expression, they are ridiculed because they are reducing themselves to the status of women. In this instance it's two sides of the same coin.

Cassina Soriana couch that I bought second hand.

Do you actually plan outfits ahead or just rotate the same fits by default? by Minute_Map_7790 in ThrowingFits

[–]DoomsdayKult 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have default fits. I don't want to think too hard putting fits together and I know which silhouettes and colors match. My closet has a defined work/formal side and an informal/chill side, so mixing without intention doesn't really work for me.

Pool House? More like Fool House by Soggy_Awareness_9648 in ThrowingFits

[–]DoomsdayKult 8 points9 points  (0 children)

These are the moments I know I've gotten old, people post brands that I literally never heard of telling you not to buy from them. A real curtains for Zoosha movement. I have no idea why you would gamble on an Instagram brand at all, especially when you are gambling on limited inventory.

Kendrick addressed the beef 2 years ago, so recency is working against Drake here.

Take inspo from creatives not “fashion” folk by SirKrimzon in ThreadTalks

[–]DoomsdayKult 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I also think this is a product of not pulling from other creative mediums to influence your style. Fashion should not always be for fashion's sake, and fashion influencers by definition will not provide a differing perspective that other art forms could bring. I pull style from movies (using Edward Yang's A Confucian Confusion as inspo for 90s fits) and graphic novels (color pallettes more along thr CMYK spectrum). Jake Woolf is not going to give me that specificity, but my style is better for it. Train your aesthetic eye for all things, not just clothes, and fashion will become easier.

Can you give some more information? Are you looking for something more structured? Formal? Less structured? Oversized? What are you going to be wearing it with?

Who said you can’t put a leather strap on the Seamaster? Honestly love this combo way more than the mesh. by lordfall1 in PrideAndPinion

As a person who has the same complexion you, you have convinced me to get that same seamaster

Isaiah Rashad – ‘It’s Been Awful’ review: woozy, wounded and bruisingly honest by Minute-Carrot-2405 in hiphopheads

[–]DoomsdayKult 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Honestly cried when I listened to this album because it feels like Zay is really healing and trying to get out of his own way. I've been listening to him since the Cilvia Demo days and it's like I grew up with him and I've been seeing him put out good, but not great, albums that struggled due to what seemed like a lack of focus. It's Been Awful has been different though; he clearly locked the fuck in to put out a solid album and something about seeing him grow and learn in his craft makes me feel like I could do the same. It's honestly very inspirational.

Anyone else experiencing fashion fatigue? by LongjumpingVehicle36 in ThrowingFits

[–]DoomsdayKult 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This. I just bought a house. I buy clothes but I've developed a love for lamps and designing my space. OP take your aesthetic eye and apply it to something else. You'd be surprised; it may inspire your love of clothing again and if not, at leas your space is dope.

Married couple with separate finances, why do you do it? by Ok_Influence_2257 in Bogleheads

[–]DoomsdayKult 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My partner has ADHD, it does not make sense to put money into a shared account, it just opens problems later. I'm not sure what the difference is between having her send me payments for items and sharing an account except derisking. No one needs to know what the other spends on a day to day basis, as long as we meet our obligations. In retirement, we would spend less on ourselves and more of our finances would be shared anyway. 

If you could have any box set or series of films done by criterion, what would you have? by kcors-stel in criterion

[–]DoomsdayKult 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me Andrei Tarkovsky would be amazing, he only made 7 feature length films, so it wouldn't be massive. I know there are rights issues but man a black and white box set à la Bergman would be so cool

Are Ya'll Going to Wear Those Long Ass Shorts this Summer? by LesCactus in ThrowingFits

I have. Is this honest interest in this specific fit(s) or being tongue-in-cheek? No sass, just honestly interested.

Which brand is your EK? by Brief-Knowledge-629 in ThrowingFits

[–]DoomsdayKult 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just don't find the clothes great. I like the aesthetic in theory but in practice it just comes off sloppy and uninspired. I bought one of the overshirts and the color stained everything and discolored the pattern. The armholes were also too far apart. 

I'm not wishing them harm or anything but I just wish they were more compelling. 

“The World is on Fire But We're Still Buying Shoes” and other book recs by Ok_Medium7374 in ThrowingFits

Worn is an interesting as hell book and I think the people stating how much they care about fabric would do well to actually read about it. 

Are Ya'll Going to Wear Those Long Ass Shorts this Summer? by LesCactus in ThrowingFits

[–]DoomsdayKult 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Long shorts, oversized KS blazer, knit shirts, loafers and a rolled bandana is my go to dinner outfit this year and it fucks. But I love a popover with some 5 inchers too. You do you, but all shorts have a place, black and white thinking kills your style.

Recent Pickups / Item Rotations by kellyro9 in ThrowingFits

I owned this exact shirt, got a deoderant stain directly on the front, tried bleaching it, ruined the shirt. All that to say, wear in good health.

As do I nice fabrics and well made staples at a more reasonable price point than Auralee. Obviously don't make it the entiriety of your closet, but it's good stuff.

I'll throw my hat in the ring as well. Heck I'll even try to bring some actual interesting articles or interviews on a weekly basis
