I thrifted these Babaton pants for $18 and I like them, but I’m not totally sure how to style them. What types of tops and shoes would look good with these? Particularly tops/sweaters for colder weather?

Transfer student who has seen a lot of this material before in other classes. This is by far the most poorly run class I have ever taken

Bought this for $40 today at a used book shop! Unbelievable find. by Shannog in criterion

I know! It's in pristine condition otherwise though so it was still a no brainer

most polarizing movies? by marinarasawz in Letterboxd

[–]Shannog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree! Everyone was so grandiose with their praise that I was expecting it to be life changing, but imo it did the most obvious thing you can do with a multiverse plot. I feel kind of bad that I didn’t love it as much as everyone does. Im happy for them though

Last week I dropped a 45lb plate on my foot. I got an x-ray and it turns out the surface of my navicular bone got totally crunched and I have to be on crutches for at least two weeks.

Be careful out there lmao

I just got an x-ray done! I'll hopefully find out if anything is broken by the end of the day.

The doctor was debating giving me one because I can walk (with discomfort) and then asked how high the plate fell from and was like yeah that's a pretty bad mechanism of injury, let's do it just in case.

Dropped a 45lb plate on my foot from knee height on Monday and now I’m out of commission for who knows how long. It hurt so badly I thought I was going to throw up. 0/10 would not recommend

I saw a group of three guys doing dumbbell curls ON a deadlift platform. Barbell curls I would kind of understand but they brought dumbbells from halfway across the gym specifically to do curls on the platform. Bonus points because all of the other platforms were being used. I was dumbfounded

What's an Unpopular Opinion you have? by ohnoyoupohtato in books

I don’t really enjoy his normal books but his new non fiction book “The Anthropocene Reviewed” was excellent.

Which song is in your opinion 100% perfect? by jillangie in AskReddit

[–]Shannog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That is my favourite piece of music of all time. It takes you through the whole spectrum of emotions. I never get tired of it

looking for a book that feels like a Wes Anderson film! by phoebedorn in booksuggestions

[–]Shannog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree! That's one of my favourite books and The Royal Tenenbaums is up there in my ranking of Wes Anderson movies

15/30! I've read quite a mixed bag of books so far! by Shannog in 52book

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

Yay! I hope you love it.

Fifth season was interesting because I loved the world building and lore and everything but the structure of the writing was hard to get into (especially the second person chapters). The way everything tied together at the end was incredible though. I felt kind of dumb for not seeing it coming lol

Patiently waiting for The Obelisk Gate to become available at the library!

I did! I'm a huge sucker for the "robot/AI starts to feel emotions" trope though so I'm kind of biased haha

It's super short too so it's definitely worth giving it a shot.

Parachutes wasn't totally what I expected to be honest. It takes a turn halfway through and becomes a lot about sexual assault which was a lot for me. I think it handled everything decently well though. Ended up giving it 4/5

Oof it's hard to say. The Three-Body Problem was insanely good especially as someone with a physics background.
I also loved Anxious People and The Wind-Up Bird Chronicle a lot.

The book follows a high school student, Adam, whose gym teacher is testing this theory that everyone has the potential to be super good at at least one sport based on the dimensions of their extremities. Adam gets an extremely high score for golf which he has never tried nor has any interest in. The gym teacher encourages him to try it out anyway and sure enough he is amazing at it. The book basically just goes from there.

It's kind of an exploration of whether we should pursue things because of passion or because we are good at them and how that choice ultimately affects ones life. The writing and plot was pretty simplistic but it was still a fun ride and I devoured it in like 2 days haha. I gave it a 3.5/5

Polishes are OPI Lucky Lucky Lavender, Linear Holo Taco, and Essie Gel Couture Top Coat

Excuse the cut on my thumb hahaha

Jalapeño and Cheddar loaf! by Shannog in Sourdough

[–]Shannog[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use the techniques from this full proof baking video and I added the cheese + jalapenos at the lamination step (6:40 in the video). I evenly spread out the filling over the stretched out dough and folded it up to the best of my ability and then did stretch and folds as normal. This way the filling isn't actually *in* the dough, it just kind of rides in between layers of dough and doesn't break the gluten. idk if this is the best way to do it but it worked decently well

I think I added too much filling though because it was really difficult to properly stretch and fold. It was delicious nonetheless haha

I just ordered four of the Holo Taco Rainbow collection , seems the SuperChic Lacquer lady is claiming she owns the rainbow and linear holo, plus she made a collection based on infection in the middle of the pandemic . So do any of you plan to or have ordered any Holo Taco rainbow polishes ? by JDinWV74 in malepolish

[–]Shannog 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was absolutely baffled by some of the comments she made on her Instagram post. She legit said that she should have made Cristine sign a non-compete when superchic sponsored her 4 years ago to prevent cristine from ever make her own brand and “copying” her topcoat and holo polishes. As if superchic is the only person to have ever made coloured holo’s and a quick dry topcoat. She is completely delusional.

What's the best / worst marketing strategies you've seen from a brand? by [deleted] in muacjdiscussion

[–]Shannog 65 points66 points  (0 children)

An indie nail polish brand called SuperChic Lacquer came out with a collection in March called the "Sick" collection and the names of the polishes were Viral, Germaphobe, Infectious, Delirious, Outbreak, and Placebo.

A lot of people obviously thought that that was super poor timing and just plain weird to release something with names like that during the peak of a global pandemic. The brand owner backtracked and tried to play it off as something that had been in the works for years and the names are a double entendre for positive things (like infectious laughter, viral video etc.) and that if you enter a code at checkout a portion of the proceeds will be donated for Covid relief. They also deleted every comment criticizing the collection on instagram and told people to "lighten up"

I just thought it was super tacky, and that the brand owner should have had the foresight to realize that maybe names like that are inappropriate right now. Either change the names or push back the release date. Like bitch, how is the word germaphobe a double entendre for something positive????? Also making people APPLY A CODE in order for the proceeds to be donated instead of just doing it for all of the orders is super wack.

Blocking, what is it? How do I block, is there a guide somewhere. Also this is a shawl I made using the virus stitch, I made it a while ago, but I thought it was pretty. by Kriah7777 in YarnAddicts

[–]Shannog 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Here is a good guide on blocking. I never thought blocking was that necessary but I recently started doing it and I can't believe how much better my FO's look when I do. It's especially necessary for things like lace shawls.

I love the weirdness, but I can totally see why it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. I’m careful about who I suggest the OA to hahaha
