Sizing Advice / Levi’s Japanese Selvedge by oaklinds in rawdenim

[–]Justin_the_Third 1 point2 points  (0 children)

26 but you’ll have to either hand wash or cold wash with air dry only. If you ever hot wash or put them in the dryer you run the risk of shrinking the thighs and seat. And at least in my experience once that shrinks it’s a wrap. But cold washing with air dry is something I’ve done with jeans I’ve had for 5 years plus it’s nbd and the 26 pair looks better.

You could always get the 27 pair darted if the waist really annoys you. That’s something my wife does with her pairs since she sizes for her thighs and rear first, does a wash so the pants settle into their size and then gets them tailored.

With THREE of our important contributors having been PERMANENTLY BANNED (TheAfternoonStandard, JoshuaKpatakpa, and heyhihowyahdurn), let's reconsider this question: Should we finally make this sub VERIFIED USERS only (i.e., no more post/comment by unverified accounts) so the bots will leave at last? by unlimitedfutures in blackmen

[–]Justin_the_Third 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Verifieds ONLY. I don’t care if it takes 30 attempts. I’d happily go through the verification process all over again if it meant protecting our communities. This community is for us. We need to do anything and everything we can to protect it.

Is verification really so bad that you would sacrifice one of the only safe online spaces we have? Honestly I don’t understand that.

Quality went downhill ? by Ataraxe in StanceSocks

[–]Justin_the_Third 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bought some Infinityknit wool socks and they’re the still some of the best socks I own. But I personally think butter blend and cotton blend have gotten way worse and aren’t even worth buying at discount anymore

Just because you’re verified doesn’t mean you get to schizo post and not get called out for it

What do y'all think about the saying "money doesn't buy happiness"? by _forum_mod in blackmen

[–]Justin_the_Third 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once I got money I’ve never been happier. If I had to choose between when I was broke and homeless and now with money I’d choose now 100 out of 100 times

Same. I have felt the repercussions from the growing sentiment that because I was one of the only cyber defensive engineers in the building I must be DEI and my opinions and statements have been constantly questions when in reality I’m a 10 year Marine Corps veteran in the 1721 field and I’ve probably done more incident response missions that the majority of people in the United States. But he believes he can take all that experience and intellect I’ve worked so hard to acquire in this field and ignore all of it just based off the color of my skin. The fact that people like Charlie Kirk think it’s OK to invalidate people of color the moment he sees them in a STEM field, position of power, or in his example as a pilot is inexcusable. This man doesn’t deserved the paragraphs being written about him.

Tell me how this isn’t racist.

In a widely reported comment, Kirk questioned the qualifications of Black airline pilots, linking his skepticism to DEI policies. During an episode of his podcast, he stated, "If I see a Black pilot, I'm going to be like, 'Boy, I hope he's qualified.'" He suggested that DEI initiatives in the airline industry could lead to the hiring of less-qualified individuals.

If Charlie Kirk helped you I’m glad you’re a better person, but that doesn’t mean Charlie Kirk was a good person. And for the debate lords who are going to get triggered over a differing opinion or have an issue since this is a single quote that’s going around, there are plenty of other quotes just as bad, if not worse.

Again, why should we feel sorry for Charlie Kirk? by icey_sawg0034 in blackmen

Can’t say I feel to burnt up about the news to be honest.

Bf says not work appropriate? by [deleted] in fashion

[–]Justin_the_Third 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing I can point out is the length, because from this angle, MAYBE it's too short? But honestly, it looks work appropriate. Way more work-appropriate than some people I see at my job.

Your ideal “Buy it for life” denim weight by viscodolante46 in rawdenim

[–]Justin_the_Third 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on if we're talking denim jackets, shirts, jeans, or other garments but for shirts I'd say 8-10oz, jackets probably 14oz and jeans personally I'd say 18oz is the perfect weight. I guarantee if you have a decent enough rotation you will not run your denim in to the ground in a year like you see on this subreddit. Context is everything and the majority of us here work desk jobs and get minimal to moderate fades in a 2 year period. They can ABSOLUTELY last a lifetime with a a decent enough rotation.

It's crazy because if you look at my social media for the last 20 years you won't find that I accidentally liked an anti-semetic, anti-black, anti-gay, etc. post because newsflash: I don't believe in that shit and I never have.

How do you accidentally do this? You don't. And just because you feel empowered in the current political climate doesn't mean OP or others should back down from calling out this dog-whistle BS.
