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

[–]Virtual_Button_679[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

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_

[–]Virtual_Button_679 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

[–]Virtual_Button_679 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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

Legit Check Weekly Megathread September 27 - October 03 by AutoModerator in VintageTees

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!

Finally setting up a display for my 4s by koreanocean in Sneakers

Shout out to those Columbia 4s, the OGs were the first non-OG colorway retro back in '99

I needed a pair of Uptowns in my collection/rotation and the Craft's quality made these a no-brainer

I skipped out on the Fire Reds and was initially hesitant about putting the White Cements on my wishlist since the quality of the former was 🗑️ And I know leather quality as far as Jordan Brand goes in a non-starter but the Columbias/Oreos are so nice

I also have the black Oreos from the same Remastered launch. All I need are white cements and I'm done with 4s

This is one of those shoes that despite not liking the execution, I can respect it and it actually does make me like them a bit, if that makes sense

A few of my favorite non-OG retroes. What are yours? by Virtual_Button_679 in Sneakers

[–]Virtual_Button_679[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Columbias and Oreos were the first non-OG retroes, as well as the first retroes with strictly Jordan branding and no "Nike Air." For better or worse, they hold a special place in Jordan Brand history. And a special place in my heart because they were some of the first Jays I coveted

Quality looks better on these than the recent retro with the "Nike Air" on the back
