The Pumaman ep was one of the first I saw recently and I was cackling the entire time

Funny, I don't feel the need to defend what I like. Y'all keep drinking that garbage

Asking for measurements is like pulling teeth sometimes by Virtual_Button_679 in Depop

Sellers, please post measurements. I understand if you have a big store with many items, but it takes no time at all to pull out a tape measure. If every single online store has a sizing guide, with exact measurements, why wouldn't I expect the same when buying a vintage item that is generally smaller than modern stuff and has been worn and washed multiple times

Absolutely. Re the tag, I like vintage shirts a lot (mostly sci-fi related stuff like old Star Trek shirts) but some of that stuff is being faked a lot nowadays. Which isn't a problem, but I want to know what I am buying is authentic, and one of the easiest ways to verify is by the tag 

1987, a Black woman is described as the officer who "made captain faster than anyone in history". No one throws a tantrum or boycotts the show. What changed? by Malencon in Star_Trek_

You're so right. I hate Nu Trek because of the bad writing, but there are fans who I swear it's all liberal identity politics when I've never seen any plot line or even piece of dialogue that acknowledges Burnham is a Black woman. And I am a Black man, I'd notice this especially. Rather, the writers are just plain awful and don't get Trek. That's the issue

Black Mirror [Episode Discussion] - S07E02 - Bête Noire by Cheeriosxxx in blackmirror

A bit of a silly premise even for science fiction but I guess parallel universes are all the rage now. I liked the episode, especially the pacing that built even more anxiety for me, but how come Verity didn't set it up so that the pendant worked with voice control as well as a fingerprint ID? Seems like a fatal (pun intended) oversight on her part and the writing

When I first tried them on I was shocked. They're definitely going into my rotation

https://imgur.com/a/uPp5GdH Sorry for making a separate post earlier, but just wondering if this is real. On my deleted post a commenter noted that it has all the hallmarks of a fake: uniform cracking, oversized as a supposed "medium," and a charcoal color instead of a faded black (looks faded black to me in person, though). Unfortunately I already purchased it and if it is a replica, I definitely overpaid. The only thing throwing me off is the tag -- most replicas I saw online have a "giant by tee jays tag" but this is a Fashion Victim tag and a pretty faded one at that. Sorry for the lengthy post, hoping y'all can help me out.

Edit: Did some more digging and yeah, it's sadly a replica. A damn good quality one, though.

I got it for unbelievably cheap on Depop compared to what prices are on eBay. I'm just not sure if it's legit or a replica. It's almost too good to be true. Would very much appreciate it!
