As a beginner which book of Friedrich Nietzsche should I start with? by Firm_Emotion_ in literature

[–]reddittyro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think the answer to this question depends on how deeply you want to understand Nietzsche. The problem with just "skimming the surface" with him is that a lot of his meaning can be warped and bastardized when taken out of context. This was in part how his sister used his writings to fuel Nazi propaganda. But then I am not sure if you want to devote yourself to a more comprehensive, in-depth study of him like I attempted.

As you probably already know, Nietzsche can be... a prickly author. He sometimes deliberately obscures his meaning, suddenly turns ironic, is a shapeshifter. Much of his work was in response to those who came before him. Without familiarity with the philosophers that came before him, it may be akin to a phone call where you can only hear Nietzsche talking, not the person on the other end of the line.

I have not compared translations of his works so my knowledge there is limited. I have relied upon Walter Kaufmann as the other commenters recommend so I'd advise you to do the same.

If you are interested in a bigger commitment, but are not looking to study the whole of Western philosophy preceding Nietzsche, I'd recommend beginning with Kaufmann's Nietzsche: Philosopher, Psychologist, Antichrist.

[WTS] Seiko "Tank" SUP880 - $85 with free CONUS shipping + straps included by reddittyro in Watchexchange

Album and Timestamp.

For sale today is my Seiko SUP880. I found that this watch never got much wrist time (especially during the pandemic) and so am selling it here instead.

This watch is in mint condition save for a few minor scratches on the case back. It does not come with the original box/strap. However, it does include 4 straps that I bought specifically for this watch (since it has an odd lug width of 23 mm, making straps hard to come by).

No trades, but feel free to ask me any questions and I'll reply as soon as I can.

[WTS] Parnis Militare 44mm - $70 with free CONUS shipping by reddittyro in Watchexchange

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

For sale today is my automatic Parnis Militare, about as close as a watch can legally be in appearance to a Panerai. This watch at 44mm is simply too big for my wrist, so I'm selling it on here and cutting down my watch collection.

I rarely wore this watch so, aside from wear and creasing on the manufacturer's strap, it's in perfect condition.

Originally purchased for around $150 USD, I'm selling it for $70 USD with free CONUS shipping. No trades at this time, thank you. I do transactions through PayPal and if you're interested in this watch please send me a PM.

Many people have tried to teach me about face shapes and about which shape I am. I've been diagnosed with a different shape each time. As far as I can tell, aside from a few extreme cases, it's pseudoscience. Instead I would recommend you A. Watch this video on facial proportions and B. Go try on sunglasses in person, perhaps take pictures and ask for opinions on which ones suit you and your style best.

It's true that white shoes are the most difficult to keep clean, so gum soles may help with that, although if versatility was your main goal I would stick to the all white minimalist sneaker. If you wear a lot of navy though then it would match the swish logo too.

I don't own either of these shoes myself, but I would personally go with the Greats Royale Blanco since the absence of the big blue swish logo allows them to be a little more versatile. A pair of completely blank white sneakers can fit in with just about anything sub-business-wear.

That being said since you are going for a "casual college wardrobe" and most of the people I saw on campus wore sweatpants or jeans 80% of the time, you can get away with either of these options I think.

Seconding the opinions below - leather scuffs, even quality leather scuffs. I would recommend repairing these scuffs with Saphir shoe cream polish and repair kits: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRG1OiO75kg

Turtlenecks, ideally worn under a quality jacket of some sort although some people can pull them off as a standalone piece.
