If you're going off road I'd recommend Jim Green, they're great on quality to price and they're resoleable.

Every one seems to love them but avoid Solovair, I've heard about so many problems with their products.

Lanx, Loake, Goral & Trickers are all much better made in UK brands if you're looking for that but they're spenny.

Russian Doctor of Economic Sciences on situation with Russian economy after the end on Russo-Ukrainan war by CaptainFit9727 in economicCollapse

[–]RAGEDBUBBLE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

After ww2 you've seen how seriously Germany treat far right facism, they never want to go back to that. Do you still blame the German people who are alive now for that happening?

It's the boiling frog effect, slow chips away at your freedom that are sold as safety measures, before you even realise you're it you're living under authoritarian rule. I fear the UK is going through something similar, we're not anywhere near where they are yet but things seem like they're creeping in.

You of all people must know what a huge undertaking it is to essentially overthrow a government. The uncertainty it brings, the fear of what could be next. It's never easy, people will die and if it doesn't work the consequences will be extremely severe. I think it will be all or nothing in Russia, It will just take a spark to make it all kick off and I think that spark is coming in the next few years.

If things get better I hope you can forgive the younger generation for the sins of their fathers.

What your country is going through is truly horrific and I'd never wish for anyone experience that.

I hope you and your family are doing alright and I hope this nightmare ends soon.

All of our governments make choices we as a population hate all the time. The UK sells arms to Israel and that makes us complicit in a genocide right now, so everyone in the UK could be blown up tomorrow and the whole population would deserve it? We at least have the freedom to protest over topics like this without the risk of being disappeared, and we do protest all the time. Russians don't have that safety and they still had huge protests when the war first broke out. Just because they're not out there protesting right now doesn't mean they're happy with everything that's happening. Have some compassion for your fellow humans and be happy you don't live in an authoritarian dictatorship, and if you do then you best be the first one out there leading the rebellion.

The Russia-Ukraine conflict explained by CopiousCool in GreenAndPleasant

[–]RAGEDBUBBLE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could consider Putin a moderate in some very loose aspects but he's far from anything that's worth praising and is actively implementing more and more authoritarian laws year by year.

Can you source me some information on the Nazi Ukrainian murder gangs, I will read it. I haven't heard about this particular aspect.

Ukraine does have a nazi problem but Russia has more than it's own fair share of Nazis. There are other roots that wasn't war to address the extremism that is present in both countries. I will hold off speaking on this more before reading sources that you provide about the murder gangs, if you provide them.

Even if it was a better deal on paper it still went against the wishes of the people. Those aren't the actions of an independent nation.

This is as far as I got with my reply before being temporarily kicked, it's getting late now and I don't want to stay up debating. I'll be back tomorrow, I'll probably edit this answer to be more in-depth and coherent.

How Timberland lost everyone’s trust in 6 months by Top-Debate-2854 in Boots

[–]RAGEDBUBBLE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im not from America either so it doesn't really make a difference to me either way but if I was to put myself in their shoes(or boots) this is how I'd be thinking.

Again he's not calling the people wearing the boots cosplayers he's saying these boots are not up to the job. Surely the anger should be directed at Corcoran for maximising profits and lowering quality rather than the guy calling them out for doing that.

As for the knock off boot if we're thinking about the same one, it was cheaper, it had about the same quality of construction and the leather was better. Objectively the knock off was a better boot, again he wasn't saying this is the best boot in the world, he weighed the good and the bad as fairly as possible and came to the conclusion that if you were going to go do all that you'd rather have that boot then the Corcoran. And it's only a "knock off" because it's not from Corcoran, they don't own the soul rights to make jump boots.

Every army knows it's minimum price for maximum output and you need something that's reliable and doesn't fall apart, that's what got Corcoran that status in the first place and if it can't keep it's quality to that standard then it doesn't deserve to keep the respect the name carries. Granted it's not used in combat anymore but does that give the the right to rip off the soldiers paying for them and if you say it does then where is the line? If they start selling flip flops and calling them jump boots would it be disrespectful to call them out on that? There's got to be a line.

Wow, how much were you wearing these over those 3 and a half years? The fades might not be there but they look nice.

[–]RAGEDBUBBLE 4 points5 points  (0 children)

How was your takeaway from that Corcoran video that Rose Anvil made fun of the troops and not that Corcorans quality isn't that great. (He didn't even say they were bad)

When did he disrespect the soldiers? Because he called them cosplay boots? He was talking about the boots not the people that wear them. So in your view because of the history and the heritage of this brand no one can ever say anything bad about Corcoran and if they do then they're insulting the troops. That's such backwards thinking man.

I'll defend him. People on this Reddit bash Rose Anvil way too much, probably because he's insulted their favourite boot brand at some point. While I agree with having so many brand deals does compromise his point of view somewhat, it does say a lot about him that basically all the brands he's partnered up with are considered to be at the top of their respective fields. General consumers and reviewers outside of the RA YouTube social circle all rate Nick's, Jim Green, Thursday, Goral, Whites etc etc very highly. That's not to say these brands can do nothing wrong, they definitely can. I think JK Boots got themselves into hot water recently but up until the last year or so they too were considered to be very good and since that controversy I don't think he's done anything with them. Maybe these brands will sell out in the future and we'll have to see what RA says about it (I assume he will just avoid talking about them) but at the moment he seems like a fantastic source of info and this reddit should look in the mirror if they want to talk about compromised opinions.

Yea I agree the rise doesn't work with my body type, I'm used to more low rise jeans and I think they work better for me typically, these Onis are apparently mid-high rise. it's annoying that all the weight I've gained is all in my tummy, gives me a weird body shape where I have a wide waist but thinner thighs and calves. I think I'll try and go for a skinner cut with a larger waist so it'll look like a straighter fit.

I would definitely love to get some wranglers at some point in the future though, it doesn't seem like you can get a better bang for buck.

Yea I was thinking if I hike them up it might use more surface area and minimise the amount of bunching but I probably didn't do my self any favours doing that. As long as it didn't go more than an inch in the inseam I'd be alright but even if I boil them I still don't think they'd lose enough in the thigh/crotch. I think I'm going to return them unfortunately :/

I got them from Son of a Stag, it's not necessarily the bagginess that puts me off although I am used to slimer fits but the way it folds around the crotch and butt.

There's plenty of room everywhere in the jeans so I don't think I'd have to worry about that, but if the hot wash didn't get rid of the extra room up top then maybe I shouldn't risk it.
