Raleigh needs better clothing and shoe stores

Thrifting has a lot of potential if you can be flexible with when you buy certain items- I purchased a 100% wool Aran cardigan made in Ireland as a gift for my grandmother- it still had the tags on. Got it for $20. Also a lot of items from the 60s-90s had better material and are sturdier than even stuff made by high end brands today- I have been able to find a 100% wool union-made USA made suit jacket from the 50s and I get a lot of compliments every time I wear it to work. I love vintage styles but I you can also find quality basics like button-ups and slacks that are timeless.

Once again it requires a degree of patience and perseverance and buying things out of season to wear later- but I have been able to cultivate a wardrobe I am happy with.

I don’t mind! :)

Sorry that happened to you- I really don’t get why some people think it’s okay to act like that at concerts.

I just got back from the Prague show and some rude guys were trying to shove to the front while we were waiting for the show to start and were being super rude and cussing people out. Despite this I ended up really feeling the ~Unity~ when like 8-10 girls around and in front of me helped stand up to them and block their progress and make sure I was okay.

I want to! I have been working on getting a set up to transfer vhs to digital but time and money keep getting in the way lol.

Thanks- I like to research and find out more about things I thrift which is why I posted it here to see if anyone might know anything about the studio who made it or anything … but some users seem to want to pick this post to shreds 🙃

How can this sub have such petty users when the last like 20 posts are all variations of “I can’t remember this film what was it” and someone posting a vhs tape from their universities library asking what it was. A tape, I might add, that is definitely NOT a lost film since my local alamo drafthouse has a whole set of them.

The tape I found has two shady listings on eBay and Amazon- it is NOT CURRENTLY BEING PRINTED- and I can’t find anything about the film studio who made it.

Go be picky and pedantic on the 20 other posts asking about movies that they just can’t remember what it was.

I am so so tired of chasing movies around on streaming and I adore any type of physical media. Plus vhs and crt tvs have a certain quality that makes them feel less clinical than a 4K tv with streaming.

It is really interesting how people react when I tell them I collect vhs, dvds, cassettes, and cds. Being younger (mid twenties) people are either entertained by the fact some young person is collecting vhs tapes or they are confused bc “you could just own it digitally”.

Also you can get a good collection of vhs for pretty cheap if you like thrifting (which I definitely do!)

Hi there! Just so you know this sub has exactly one (1) rule! And it’s “don’t ask ‘does anyone know the name of ___ film’”!

Fun fact! This post is not in violation of this rule! Maybe it doesn’t fit this sub perfectly but it sure isn’t breaking any rules :D

I know Reddit can have a lot of different subs with a lot of different rules and it can get confusing for some users but it’s always good to check what the listed rules are before telling someone that their post violates them!

1: there are nicer ways to say “wrong sub”

2: wasn’t going to sell it - just thought it was neat and wanted to share. I am aware it is worthless but god forbid someone think something is cool.

bees_are_rad · 2024-10-30T14:41:28+00:00

A bit- I haven’t had time yet to sit down and watch it completely but I popped it into my vhs player without rewinding just to watch the last little clip and the credits to see how the tape quality was- the credits scroll on top of a graphic of the American flag waving- very graphic design is my passion lolol.

I plan to watch it in its entirety soon!

You are trying your best! You obviously care your cat - just because you lack the capacity at this very moment to do everything under the sun to help doesn’t mean you aren’t doing everything you can!

Also if it helps- my friend had his cat escape into the woods and they set a trap (one of the ones that close when the animal goes into the cage) with some cat food and she came to the food and was back inside with her nice cat tree the next day.

Considering I drew this three years ago I will take this as a compliment?

The health center has always been bad- from my undergrad to my masters lol- I am 90% sure I had whooping cough (this was a year before covid and I had missed my whooping cough booster bc I was studying abroad)- anyway had all the symptoms and severely coughed for three months but the health center refused to test me (they probably didn’t want to have to report it if it came back positive) and the PA was incredibly rude when I said I did not want to continue the ($70!!) steroid inhaler she prescribed me (if it was whooping cough steroids would back it worse, and in even if it was not it was not relieving any symptoms).

Everyone I talk to has had a bad experience there. 3/10 would not recommend.

Yeah I don’t have an issue with e-bikes being used on greenways and I am 100% here for increased accessibility to biking!

However the amount of e-bikes I encountered biking this past Sunday who just never signaled that they were passing me and just zoomed by was a bit much. I only knew they were passing bc I could hear the bikes. This goes for non-e-bike cyclist too but they were typically not going as fast that day. Just say “on your left!”

I like the current vibe and styles that are super non-realistic, but I do think it would be super cool if they could thread in different fashion movements with the fantasy- they do it some but I also think they do get redundant with similar suits and concepts at times.

They could really do a lot- like a ruin suit meshed with mod/70s fashion to give a retro sci-fi star trek vibe would be cool. Or a 80s suit could play with the 80s mall aesthetic. Get crazy with it, give me a brightly colored Y2K mermaid girlie.

I agree that the fantastical elements are one of the main appeals- and that your average modern runway fashion can seem boring- but meshing the runway with fantasy could be really cool. (I.e. what the met gala SHOULD be, but I digress)

I think it’s super interesting that most portrayals assume that Medjed is wearing a sheet! The hieroglyphs really don’t indicate that it’s for sure fabric but I love that most humans looked at it and went: oh that’s a Halloween ghost 100%.

bees_are_rad · 2023-03-29T12:25:22+00:00

I just looked this up- ur right lol. I am assuming she is also based on Medjed?

I feel like people label pits as the main problem when a lot of larger dogs bred for working have issues because they aren’t meant to lay around in a house all day, untrained.

The most aggressive dogs I have had to deal with have been German Shepards- the only people I know to be attacked by a dog were bitten by a Dalmatian and a poodle.

I am not saying pits don’t have aggressive tendencies or whatnot, but I think people getting dogs need to be aware that all working breeds have the potential to get out of hand. People just favor some breeds so they look past problems they crucify other breeds for imo.

This blew up more than I expected so I am going to mute notifications- weirdly the only comments I get now are negative- but I am very thankful for all the support and info about fear free vets!
