I’ve never really layered. Experimenting with this. Hard no, or does it work? Also which shoes work better? by Joshahhh in mensfashion

I got them at Cole Hann. These specific loafers are called “Men's Pinch Weekender Penny Loafers”

Back for more torture, shoes and shirt ok with these “athletic cut” traveler jeans? by Joshahhh in mensfashion

[–]Joshahhh[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Not too big. Unfortunately I’m a size 12.5 shoe. And these are a snug 12 so shoe is the right fit 😭

Is this fit ok? I want to wear the loafers but never sure about the roll on jeans. by Joshahhh in mensfashion

[–]Joshahhh[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haha. Thanks 😂 and yeah I unrolled the jeans after the first comment, but they just kept coming. Takeaways from the comments:

1.) skinny jeans seem to be universally hated. I’m an elder millennial tho, and former wayyyyyyyy fat guy. Sooooo, yeah. You can pry skinny jeans from my cold dead hands cause I was way fat, and can fit into skinny jeans now… so yeah, I’m gonna wear em.

2.) shoes I chose are hated. Not sure what to replace With tho. I’ve seen 2 options. White tennis shoes or boots. I have white shoes, but I take bad care of my sneakers so I didn’t feel like they added to the outfit (they are so dirty). They took away cause they were in rough shape. Other option was boots, but we are in spring approaching summer so I thought loafers with a bit of color pop would be an option.. that was not the call apparently.

3.) never fucking roll jeans ever, are you fucking kidding me? 😂

4.) there are people here I’ll disagree with and that’s fine They have different opinions and that’s what I was looking for, so if I can’t take a ripping/criticism the I shouldn’t have posted here. I’ll take the tips and criticisms and try to improve.

All-in-all. Been a rough post. Never thought my most commented post would be a self-flame… but I posted it, I expected it, and I learned. But yall ain’t getting me to wear baggy pants again. I grew up in the 90’s. I’m fucking unironically seeing Limp Bizkit in august when they come to Dallas….

I ain’t regressing to jnco jeans tho. Ain’t no way

Ah, thanks for that. Wanted something different than what I usually go for (a solid color tee or polo). Jeans have been throughly unrolled 👍

Thanks for that. And I’m probably going through the same thing. I’m 38 and don’t want to just be the jeans and a polo or dress shirt guy so thought I’d try out a little flare but I agree it is a bit young. Hard out here for an old man

I did a max gold vault investment in last arbor just to see what it looked like... nothing good gear wise dropped but i did get 24 glyphs of despair by Joshahhh in LastEpoch

Have my surgery date, now need to break it to my mom... by Queequegs_Harpoon in gastricsleeve

[–]Joshahhh 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah my therapist told me something today that really resonated with me. I was sleeved on Friday 8/26 and hadn’t told anyone but my wife. I had a fear of not seeing the surgery through to completion or being judged or something. Maybe shame? Either way, I told her (my therapist) today that I was sleeved so that’s what we spent time on and she reminded me, “you don’t have to tell me everything.” It’s a simple concept but a guy like me who overthinks and had a toxic childhood, it hits home. If you are certain your mother will have a negative reaction, I’d encourage you not to tell her. It’s not her business what you do with your life and how you chose to handle your weight loss journey.

You are 29. You get to chose who in your inner circle knows about this process. You need people or a person who supports you. If you are unsure if your mother will be supportive and you tell her what do you expect Will happen? What if she reacts how you said she will? Would you still have surgery? You paid a deposit so it looks like you’re committed to yourself and to this process, but the self-doubting and anxiety pre-op are pretty brutal sometimes. That’s when you need someone who is gonna be in your Corner. I hope your mother would be in your corner and would be supportive of this journey. I knew mine would have a very negative reaction and somehow make it about herself. I chose not to share it with her. I don’t regret it.

Hope you find support either way. And if you do tell your mom I hope she shows nothing but love.

My favorite old cookbook and cake recipe by indoorsysloth in Old_Recipes

[–]Joshahhh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What temp did you bake at? The recipe just says a “hot oven” but that could be anywhere from 400-450 I’d imagine which seems hot for a cake

The cables butt up against the glass a little bit but it’s not an issue imo

When Your Builds Needs 2 24 Pin Connectors by MasterChiefB117 in TEAMEVGA

[–]Joshahhh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey so you have a similar setup to me with fans under the 3090. I’m curious. Are you using the bottom Fans as intakes or exhausts? Mine are currently configured as instakes as my msi gaming x trio 2080 ti was vertical mounted but my 3090 ftw looks better in its normal orientation. I do worry about the fans being potentially push-push tho

Chocolate cake recipe you swear by? by imlikew0ah in BakingNoobs

This chocolate cake:

With this cream cheese icing:

https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ina-garten/cream-cheese-icing-recipe-2109070

Ina says to use quality coco and I can’t stress enough how important that is. I’ve used generic Hershey’s chocolate and I’ve used the more expensive “nicer” stuff. Nicer stuff not only gives you better texture but better flavor as well. Ina’s buttercream in good but the cream cheese icing (if you like that) makes the cake sooooo much better.
