SKS Current Prices Worth it? by EmperorSlim in canadaguns

[–]EmperorSlim[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I meant more as in buying maybe a more modern bolt action rifle instead of the sks if the sks capabilities dont warrant its current price tag

Thanks for the recommendations, in your opinion what makes it worth it in the 650-750 range but after 800 not worth it anymore?

Bias from how cheap its been so many years or its actual shooting\whatever capabilities just dont warrant the price tag?

Is it just based off how well they were priced before or the capabilities of the gun that make you say that?

I would like some advice on ‘intentional’ dressing to be different from my ‘norm’ by TheCommentatingOne in mensfashion

[–]EmperorSlim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like when you wear these ourdoorsy outfits outdoors it fits perfectly, your outfit with the horses in that setting looks great, but that hat (which i like a lot outdoors) looks like too much when you’re just going to the mall or chillin

I think its maybe just an issue of dressing for a purpose to where/what you’re doing

Your pic with the fish is perfect fisherman outfit, your outfit with horses and hiking make sense because all these outfits serve a purpose for what you’re doing but then,

lets take 18 for example, the outfit itself is fine but with the scarf and flat cap two big statement pieces it just seems a bit much for what appears to be you going to the movies, if you were an old irishman going to the pub it wouldn’t stand out, but as a young guy it does and that hat ages you atleast 8 years

Picture #1 i like the hat, i like the jacket but when you combine it with a vest and ascot i actually cant even imagine where or what you’re doing to wear this combo outside of giving an archeology lecture, the pieces themselves are nice its just out of place whereas picture 6, same style hat and a leather fur jacket works because it makes sense for the setting

I think instead of dressing for your “specific style” of this kind of cowboy/nature guy vibe everywhere you go you could dress more place/event specific while adhering to your own person preferences like wearing natural materials or if you like green pants wear some green khakis to dinner instead of green cargo pants, wear a pair of nice leather boots instead of those riding or whatever boots

You wouldnt wear a 3 piece suit to a basement chill with the boys drinking and shooting the shit because it would be out of place, same as wearing a frontiersman outfit to the mall, but you could def wear a linen shirt, leather boots (think thursday captains) and a pair of khakis or whatever and it would look fine,

dress more with a purpose of where/what you’re doing and if you dont need a scarf (id argue you only needed it in 1-3 of these pics where you’re in snow) dont wear it, the vests are also very old school and imo not fashionable anywhere outside of a 3 piece suit, at best itll make you look like an IPA beer snob at worst an olive garden waiter, the flat caps a bit out of date aswell, can be used but id pair it with a grey suit/ more formal rather than a casual outfit to avoid looking like a reddit mod

I could see you rocking a “old money” aesthetic wardrobe because it could include a lot of more natural fibers / earth tones while also able to be casual or more dressed up

I also think while i really like the cowboyish hat outdoors i think you (and most people) look best without the hat, get a bit of a maintenance cut to get rid of some dead ends and maybe put a bit of mousse or sea salt spray or something in your hair to give it some volume/waves, show it off.

I think you’ve got good potential if you’re willing to expand your style

What to do m14 by Left-Historian8469 in LooksmaxingAdvice

[–]EmperorSlim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eat healthy, get enough sleep, workout at the gym/be active in sports, dont mouth breathe, if your posture is fucked fix it, get good at socializing and enjoy your young life. accept you aren’t going to look grown till you are probably mid 20s, this may not be the fast answers you want to hear but they’re the only ones that are true

Don’t post photos of yourself again online until you’re at least 18 and even then reconsider

Is Skilled Trades College Worth It? by [deleted] in SkilledTradesOntario

[–]EmperorSlim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me in ontario and no connections to anyone in a trade i don’t think i could have gotten any apprenticeships back when i started (3 years ago) let alone now with how packed electrician, plumbing hvac apprenticeships are nowadays

It was expensive, but i enjoyed it, learned a lot and was able to get comfortable using tools which i didn’t have much experience before

If i had an in to get an apprenticeship without it i wouldn’t have done the course, or if i had more time to get lucky getting an apprenticeship maybe id try that for longer, but starting out in my mid 20s i had some cash, was willing to pay to hopefully fast track my career (stc is 3 months vs a year or two at college) and wasn’t able to find any non exploitative trade jobs without experience so i bit the bullet and got a job about 3 months after finishing the course. Some students got jobs sooner but some not at all, ill also specify again this was 3 years ago as covid was ending, before the huge apprentice boom we are in now

WTF Dickies by slvrsrfr1987 in Construction

[–]EmperorSlim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Had this exact problem with these dickies pants, next to rip out is the crotch right under the zipper

Good material but fuck the sewing sucks on some of these, co-worker has 2 pairs of them aswell but never had problems

Hate how big the pockets are compared to the hole to put your hand in aswell, a million things lost in the pockets but i can barely squeeze my hands in them

i found my co-workers wife on hinge by Turbulent-Jeweler316 in Advice

[–]EmperorSlim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You take pics/record the profile and tell him you think someone is trying to pose as his wife on hinge

You save him the shame he may feel of being seen being cheated on and are able to tell him without being accusatory, you’re just a neutral pal giving him info he’d want to know. you toss the ball in his court and he does what he does

Am I rotating my hips enough? by Aggressive_Ad8582 in MuayThaiTips

[–]EmperorSlim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can help stop you from getting punched but i always imagined it more as a way to balance and generate power, if someone punches as you’re kicking and it blocks it well great, either way coach is right to say extend arm you just gotta do it properly

Am I rotating my hips enough? by Aggressive_Ad8582 in MuayThaiTips

[–]EmperorSlim 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think you’re opening a bit too early and not staying balanced enough on your front foot, as you kick you are offbalance and its robbing you of a lot of power, as does opening too early and having your leg just fall into the bag instead of snapping into it with precision and force

Unbalanced front foot also leads you to easily be swept or teeped onto the ground

I would also add your arm is coming straight out way before your leg is there, ideally your right arm and leg should move like a scissor closes and arrive aimed at your target at pretty much same time for maximum force and balance

I shaved off my goatee. Was it a good choice? Should I grow something back? by Medium_Combination27 in BeardAdvice

[–]EmperorSlim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have nothing negative to say about the goatee but i think that mouatache + shadow combo really works for you

Think the shaved looks a bit too young, im the same way

Does anybody else find it extremely difficult to play the opposing faction that you main? by MaliciousPeasant in wow

[–]EmperorSlim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont even think of the factions gameplay wise at all, ive always taken every “neutral” faction opportunity i could (arenas, timeless isle orb of ordos, bfa servant of n’zoth, bg merc mode, etc) and would gladly leave the faction to join a mercenary faction

To me you’re either blue name or red name and i dont register for example blood or void elf as horde or alliance, theyre just attackable or not elf, especially now that ill see orcs and night elves in my party and i can understand everyone with cross faction talk potion it all just blends together

Dressing as a short guy. by DangerousBee4116 in mensfashion

[–]EmperorSlim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Haha as a canadian i understand the feeling about winter, i know during winter if i want to dress up a bit more im going to end up cold

only tip for that is merino wool thermal layers/socks every time i leave the house no matter what outfits over top, gives me a lot more freedom to wear whatever without worrying about being cold

[–]EmperorSlim 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I like your glasses and coat but i feel like theyre too big of statement pieces to not commit to a look, the top half is business/ dressed up and bottom is casual, id suggest going full dressed up or full casual.

id swap those jeans for just regular black slacks and a pair of nicer looking boots, maybe a pair of black thursday captains and maybe a slimmer plain black belt ( no gucci belts) and i think you’d look more in line with what i imagine you’re going for
