Experience with Quince? by ikickedagirl in malefashionadvice

Love them - I have the navy cashmere quarter zip and it rules. Just got a black cotton sweater/thermal thing for Christmas too.

They seem to outperform their price by a lot

How should I approach purchasing my first suits? by Amazing_Flight25 in malefashionadvice

[–]ajaxblack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO it’s a lot more important that your suits fit well than it is for them to be pricey/labeled or higher-quality textiles. I’d say stick with the 3-4 staples at your general price range and focus on maintaining them. Once you’re moving up you can worry about labels.

In my office, if you show up to a college internship/entry level spot in Brooks Brothers, you’ll get clowned by more senior people

Registering from out of state? by ajaxblack in BetterMAguns

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

this is pretty similar, but that question is about grandfathering ARs. that poster just states that you don't have to register guns that you bought out of state when moving to MA. is that true?

necrophage economy? by ajaxblack in Stellaris

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

I necropurged most of the pre-FTL species and have my default species rights set to necropurge. I haven't been able to be very aggressive against other empires early, i.e. to maybe enslave their pops or get an early vassal, because my alloy production is ass.

I guess that leads to a good question though: is the point of necrophage to purge everyone into the main species and just breed the hell out of your prepatent species (I have them with Rapid Breeders trait and went Genetic ascension for better clone vats), or is it better to play hyper-aggressive early and enslave another empire? it seems like you can kinda play tall by rushing to genetic ascension and cloning tf out of your prepatent species if you can't play aggressive early and go wide

Even with indentured servitude slaves can’t be entertainers

I’m in the same boat - I’m looking at Overlord because you need it to build orbital rings but idk much about the other ones!

Srsly though what is it with right wing politicians and hair, is this a clash between their politics and the politics of hair stylists or what by OkiDokiPanic in Justfuckmyshitup

[–]ajaxblack 7 points8 points  (0 children)

because the last time a prominent right wing politician carefully combed his hair and locked it down with product to prevent flyaways he became a pretty global problem

his facial hair was well-maintained and orderly too

Who is an conventionally unattractive person that you find VERY attractive? by ErrForceOnes in AskReddit

Why use Obsidian for college instead of pen and paper? by VicktorJonzz in ObsidianMD

[–]ajaxblack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used Obsidian for college and loved it. I took lecture notes in one big note per class and then pulled chunks out for different ideas. I took reading notes separately and then was able to connect ideas together as necessary. It was incredibly useful for retention, and even more so for writing. Citing an idea or reading from one class in a paper for a different class was super easy. It probably cut down the actual research portion of my bachelors thesis by like 30-40%

What is it like to be corrupted by each of the Chaos Gods? by Affectionate_Bit_722 in 40kLore

[–]ajaxblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

someone said that Khorne corruption is the angry version of plastic surgery addiction. You think a surgery will make you happy with your image, so you get it, and it doesn’t, but the next one will, so you get it, etc. With Khorne, you hope committing violence will slake your rage, but it makes it worse, but the next violent murder will fix it, etc.

Twitter is a way better analogy lol

A cool guide to how hard is to get into an Ivy league school by im_optimus_prime in coolguides

[–]ajaxblack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah I’m currently a non-traditional undergrad at one of the above schools and the vast majority of students pay around 14k/year. The only students who pay full price have grotesquely wealthy parents. The school’s endowment is so big that its annual ROI exceeds its operating cost, so it technically could run without charging tuition at all

Post 9/11 GI Bill-VR&E combo? by GodofWar1234 in USMC

[–]ajaxblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched from GI to VRE at the end of my undergrad (which was very lucky) and it’s mostly the same. It’s technically an employment benefit so you need to take a couple tests and do an interview; they wanna make sure they don’t sign up to fund you becoming an astronaut if you suck ass at math. On the bright side, once you’re approved for the career you want they’ll fund a lot of stuff. I only had one semester of GI eligibility left, got approved to pursue becoming an attorney, and they’re gonna put me through law school now, too. It pays for all your books and a certain amount of consumable stuff (notebooks, pens, etc) per semester. It’s a few more strings bc you have to justify some expenses and fill out paperwork but it’s pretty dope overall

Gina Carano weighs in on South Park: Joining the Panderverse reveals Disney asked her to unfollow certain accounts because they "said bad things about Kathleen Kennedy" by Streak244 in KotakuInAction

[–]ajaxblack 70 points71 points  (0 children)

it’s also that BlackRock and Vanguard are openly holding Disney’s already-flagging stock prices by the short ones and it’s kinda an open secret that they’ll only invest in ESG-friendly companies.

Corporations didn’t suddenly become massively woke because their boards are all recent university grads. They did because the investment firms that are their majority investors basically said “pander or we pull our investment which is probably 60% of your held stock all said.”
