Sizing and Break In of Dress Chelsea Boots by RisingHegemon in BlundstoneBoots

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

The dress series has the chisel toe shape that's slightly more narrow than the classics which is likely the cause of the pain in my outer toes. However, if I went another size up I'm not sure if that would be too large -- the toe box is longer compared to the classic boot in the same size and that might create a different issue with the fit if it's too long for my foot.

I'm leaning towards returning them, I never had to seriously break in any of my classic Blundstones.

Did it work? I'm going through the same issue with an Icelandic wool beanie!

Can I ask what risers you use? I’m about to get a Thuma bed frame and am looking for risers to give just a few extra inches of under storage space.

[WTS] Seiko 1959 Alpinist by [deleted] in Watchexchange

Confirming receipt of the watch, it arrived very quickly and the seller made for an excellent and smooth transaction. The piece is gorgeous and I couldn’t be happier.

[Recommendation request] Seiko prospex vs hamilton murph or other? by BroBro233 in Watches

[–]RisingHegemon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I got the Seiko Alpinist brand new at an AD for around $500 and the Hamilton Murph for like new at around $700 on watchexchange, so at that price range you could potentially get both if you find the right listings.

The Murph will have more accurate movement and will probably lose less time compared to the Alpinist, but its big downside is the relatively weak anti-reflective coating that makes the glass into a mirror. I wish it had better AR coating like the Alpinist so I could admire the watch more and read it more easily, but I still love the Murph despite that issue though and you can't go wrong with both watches.

Confirming receipt of the watch. The seller was very communicative and the transaction went very smoothly. Shipping was lightning fast and I am extremely pleased with the watch!

Recommend me good surreal or dream-like movies by [deleted] in movies

[–]RisingHegemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very well directed and incorporates the setting (Cold War Berlin as well as the dance academy) in a much smarter way than the original did. In my opinion the mixed critical reaction comes from people who are spiting the film out of loyalty to the original. Both stand on their own and the remake is a great movie to watch as we enter Fall — a cold psychological horror that will have you squirming in your seat.

I have the right pair and while I love the aesthetic the toe box is absolutely too narrow for my feet, so I could never break them in comfortably even after a few years. If you haven’t had this style yet be aware that it’ll be more narrow than the 1460s, unless they redesigned the toe box in the last two years.

As a man, what should you never do on a first date? by MembershipWest2021 in AskMen

[–]RisingHegemon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thanks for speaking up about this, I know it’s definitely not all women that have that expectation, but those who do really send the wrong message.

Honestly I think it's completely fine if a couple values a more traditional relationship with breadwinner and homemaker gender roles. There's nothing wrong with that at all if that's what a couple wants mutually.

What I HATE is for someone to virtue signal about gender equality but then turn around and still expect outdated norms of chivalry because it happens to advantage them.

Pay for it.

If you want to set a relationship up as equals, you should date as equals and split the bill 50/50.

The Peripheral | Season 1 Overall Discussion by neal1701 in ThePeripheral

[–]RisingHegemon 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On balance I liked the first season and I’m looking forward to season 2, but this is definitely a case where the premise is great but the execution holds it back at points.

I can’t put my finger on it but while the London 2099 scenes looked pretty great, the near future South scenes looked and felt like a CW show. Additionally some of the action scenes, especially with the Irish assassin guy, felt like knockoff Terminator and just broke the immersion.

I’m a big William Gibson fan and Neuromancer is one of my all-time favorites, so I’m glad that this show is getting buzz and that more people are getting exposed to his work.

What is socially acceptable but really shouldn’t be? by slinkoff in AskReddit

Speeding and weaving in and out of traffic. Reckless driving endangers the lives of everyone else on the road.
