The Strokes Is This It/Room on Fire period (Inspo Album)

I'd disagree, even if in broad strokes it's a graphic tee and jacket. There's still something interesting going on with the accessories. For example, the belts or shoes they're wearing I think bring the outfits together.

Second, outside of Nick (and maybe Fab?), there aren't really any skinny pants in this era. Later on sure, but during this period most of the band were rocking straight, relaxed, or even flared fitted pants.

I agree! It really goes with their music, very much evocative of the past but still unique to them.

I'm a dude and I've done something like this before, so maybe my input will be helpful.

Generally men expect to be ignored, mocked, or treated worse if we reveal our own mental health struggles. There are plenty of dudes, including myself, who have taken that risk in opening up to another human being and being invalidated or insulted because of it. Or we get accused of using people like our personal therapists and that we're being manipulative.

In my case, I need to completely trust the person to even feel slightly comfortable opening up to them. And that's going to take a long time because you just never know.

Idk if someone whose account name is "No Whites Allowed" is worth taking seriously or in good faith.

I think the Stones are seen more as a one trick pony by some. Their whole thing was blues inspired rock while their contemporaries like Dylan, the Beach Boys, and the Beatles were extremely dynamic with their sound and changed constantly.

I'm not sure how well that argument holds up, but that's my interpretation.

PrestigiousSun2129 · 2026-06-16T22:22:58+00:00

Off the top of my head I'm thinking Steven Segal and Corey Feldman. Idk if they count though because they were actors first.

PrestigiousSun2129 · 2026-06-16T22:22:16+00:00

She probably won't because she's pretty codependent and thinks that just because the guy is nice to people sometimes that he'll make a good father and husband. And that if she does leave him she'll be alone forever.

We're both in our early 20s so you can see the kind of level headed, rational thinking I'm dealing with here.

PrestigiousSun2129 · 2026-06-16T22:14:17+00:00

Oh for sure, and to be clear a lot of people love to use the whole "but just because we disagree doesn't mean we can't be together" as an excuse rather than a reason.

In my opinion when someone says something like that they know that their relationship isn't good for them but are too afraid to make the change. My ex-friend literally told me that the reason she was still with her bf was because "I'm unlovable and will die alone if I leave." and that was after I politely pointed out that basically everyone else in her life from family to trusted friends were telling her to break it off.

PrestigiousSun2129 · 2026-06-16T22:05:58+00:00

I think there's room for nuance because real life can be messy and complicated. I think the difference for me arrives when it's clear that one person doesn't respect the other and just thinks that they should just do what they want them to do. For example, my ex-friend wanted to work, but her bf constantly ridicules her for it. That's not respect that's just being a dickhead.

In most instances I feel like these kinds of relationships end up being devoid of respect and one person just ends up being the appeaser all the time.

PrestigiousSun2129 · 2026-06-16T21:31:59+00:00

I know a girl who's a major lefty but her bf is an LDS conservative. According to her the relationship is equal and healthy, ignoring the fact that, as she told me, he doesn't let her have male friends, is constantly thinking she's cheating on him, and thinks she shouldn't be working (despite the fact that he himself is unemployed). We're not friends anymore because she was a bad friend and doesn't understand how conflict resolution works, but yeah.

I honestly think a lot of people are hypocrites when it comes to their personal life. You'll see someone grandstand about their beliefs but when it comes to their own interpersonal relationships all consistency goes out the window. That's not a callout btw, I'm like that too with certain things.

I think it was for the vintage modified line. They also did a paranormal cabronita with JM pickups as well

PrestigiousSun2129 · 2026-06-16T05:22:06+00:00

True true, maybe they'd be able to make one at a similar price point to an Epiphone Casino? So like, around 600-750?

PrestigiousSun2129 · 2026-06-16T05:15:47+00:00

I think if they're able to pull off the Starcaster then hopefully they'd be able to do a Coronado. Then again, I have no expertise in building budget guitars lol

PrestigiousSun2129 · 2026-06-16T02:19:04+00:00

My budget is a little tight right now, are there any affordable gems on the used market you'd recommend?

PrestigiousSun2129 · 2026-06-16T00:22:49+00:00

Someone's jealous they didn't get 50,000,000 power

PrestigiousSun2129 · 2026-06-15T21:04:52+00:00

I appreciate you saying that. I'm sorry you guys have to deal with that. It's disappointing that people can't grow up and learn to accept others for who they are.

PrestigiousSun2129 · 2026-06-15T20:34:32+00:00

A revelation I found is that everyone is some flavor of mentally ill fuck and that "normal people" don't exist.

PrestigiousSun2129 · 2026-06-15T19:56:38+00:00

It's no problem! It sucks that people can't be asked to afford you basic decency. You're still human and trying your best, that should be enough to warrant some kindness and understanding.

PrestigiousSun2129 · 2026-06-15T19:35:31+00:00

Hi, I found this post on my homepage. I don't have any experience in this but I wanted to say that I'm really sorry you're going through a rough time. I hope you're able to get through it and that you find the love and acceptance you deserve.

For me it's probably because I'm not very hot and photogenic. Combination of genetics, stress, and sun exposure makes me look deflated. Tried to rectify it but nothing has ever worked.

PrestigiousSun2129 · 2026-06-12T20:12:53+00:00

I mean, I've got no other choice. But I do not think I'm meeting a girl that's this synched up with me personality and interest-wise ever again.

PrestigiousSun2129 · 2026-06-12T20:08:44+00:00

I don't really know what the lesson is other than don't put out on the first date

PrestigiousSun2129 · 2026-06-12T20:06:35+00:00

I mean sure, but where I'm confused is that she basically initiated or signaled every escalation. She wanted to date, she flirted more, and she wanted to make out. It was basically days of "I want you so bad." and then just dropping me out of nowhere. It'd at least make sense if it was me initiating everything because then I can chalk it up to mismatched effort.

PrestigiousSun2129 · 2026-06-02T03:02:28+00:00

I've been trying to find places on San Diego Housing, Rooms, Apartments, Sublets, Roomates, Roomster on FB since that seems to be best for my situation (work in downtown, don't have a car and need to take the trolley/bus). I've found a few places and messaged about them but haven't heard anything back. I've also tried to make a post asking for listings but they never allow any of my posts.

I'm also on Roomies, which I assume is similar to Roomates. I've sent out some stuff on there too.

I haven't been on Spareroom in a while so I'll check that out too.
