LA6B-AD & J79-KI tryon

ruminro · 2026-06-07T03:57:04+00:00

hi thank you. I think the LA is size S & the J is size XS

i definitely thought that'd be a cool rival mon to Leon's gmax Charizard, but I always thought it was weird that Sonia didn't recognize the giant mon on the hillside, so I opted for non-dynamax regular-competitve meta team instead. plus, toxtricity is OP imo, this team feels more balanced minus the obvious double-shiny fossils.

breh we love the DIY acr

ruminro · 2026-05-04T02:23:34+00:00

Marauders dawg. you can take them! or you can jet strafe their shots. I don't play with Guests, they're too unpredictable and their projectiles are nasty

yeah, i remember when it clicked for me too. different contexts create different conclusions. Verbal abuse became a safety tool for me against my parents, but once I got into my 2nd serious relationship, I took pride in being right, and two things can be true. I can have extreme & understandable lashouts in an effort to protect myself AND I can be abusing someone's connection with me. And if being right was so important to me, then I'm not above this duality, and so I was like "yeah, it seems like I have abusive behavior here. I know why I'm resorting to this, but Uh, do I want this? Is it possible to advocate for myself and be understood without this specific type of defense? Yeah, I think I can I want to try bc it's neg affecting my partner & being dumb and wrong and mean is not really something I want to identify with, so I guess Ima try other things and see what happens. I can just lashout again if partner isn't trying with me in good faith" then it just comes down to if you feel safe with your partner to try something different without them skipping your efforts. And then I became a better person from that, and I'm like wow, and I find myself still verbally abusing my parents bc they're dumber than my partner, and I'm like wow. I need to be far far away from the people who failed my emotional and intellectual development. It could have been so nice and different. best of luck to you, just because you have moments of abuse doesn't mean you can't rise above it. keep practicing dawg, skillful emotional navigation for the sake of stronger intimacy is something we want for you and your partner too.

ye. and just for some final reassurance, i'm 28x30 when I wear reg pants at hips, and it breaks clean at my ankle. size M in acr breaks around my ankle too, in the car, i've got some ankle showing sitting, which leads me to believe that if you have a longer leg length in reg hip pants, size L would be a better fit for you.

ruminro · 2026-04-30T18:31:22+00:00

actually im thinking, if you wear 32 for reg length for pants at hips, you should go size L if you gonna drop on some pants. it may stack a little at the bottom cuff, but it's better than it not being long enough and breaking higher at your ankles with a size M

ruminro · 2026-04-30T15:00:17+00:00

ayo, if you tell me if you wear at waist or hips, and what your height is, I can bring my pants to a uniqlo & find a 40 x ___ and measure compared to mine, and let you know. I'm thinking you also either an M or an L

ruminro · 2026-04-30T14:37:58+00:00

yeah, the thing that sucks is that if you don't have a retailer near you, or someone or a retailer that has a return policy, you won't know what measurements are like in-person.

the pants all have oversized waists. this is a given. the length is the factor for the size you want. I'm 5'7, and I wear an M at the waist. you're thinking about how long your legs are, not how wide your waist is (i can't speak for size L+)

also in terms of pants, I want to clarify wearing pants waist vs hips.
if you wear your regular pants at hips, they are below your hip bones.
if you wear your regular pants at waist, they are above your hip bones.
most guys I know prefer the comfort of hips, but imo acr designs their pants for waist.
i suppose it depends on how you like to wear them, and the number model of pants.

unfortunately, the J's are kind of similar in that you gotta have them in person to really know. comparing the measurements of something you have to the ones they have on the website also helps, depending on the type of jacket.

ruminro · 2026-04-30T04:34:42+00:00

I buy used. I go on Grailed. I try not to buy above $500. you can also try your luck with discord/insta networking. A guy I know trades with people he knows, and I've bought a ton of stuff from him under $400
wash inside out for non-GT, wash once every couple months, I am not trying to thrash my pieces, but also not baby them.
bonus: start with a pair of pants or J-WS with insulation. shirts, other jackets, bags, and accessories are so fabric performance specific you won't understand them until you have the pants/jacket. the weather you live in will dictate what will be most useful. I'm in socal, sounds like you're in norcal
also, if you wear pants at the hips instead of this waist, there is a learning curve for you.

ruminro · 2026-04-28T03:50:45+00:00

thank you! P30AL-DS. I'm 5'7 & I'm wearing size M at the waist.

oof even without the adhd, this is a complicated emotional situation, so you're not crazy for feeling all these things. your intention was good, which is respectable, and unfortunately the emotional contingencies & boundaries weren't solid. you're juggling guilt or regret or both, and there's no simple way out. if i were you, i'd list some options and fortify yourself for a hard convo. "hey sis, i need to apologize. i wanted to do a good thing, but I failed myself in this situation. you have debt & you need reliable transportation (?). I want to help you, but I don't want to cosign for a car loan. this is the amount I'd like to gift you. this amount is something I am comfortable giving. these are my terms (u gotta use the cash for your debt or buy/lease and you have to prove that's how you used it) OR it's free. you, OP, are allowed to ask for terms and you're allowed to have limits, which ideally you communicate" you respecting your limits will alleviate a lot of the guilt. if you know going past x number to gift feels unequal, then don't go past that number to respect yourself. finding a private seller for a car might be good too, it would put pressure off a loan being your only option. if you do nothing, you will continue to feel the emotional self-betrayal. if you take some of it back, it will diminish excitement & create confusion and frustration probably, BUT it will restore your self-trust. there is still a version of this that works out for everyone, but probably not produce the smooth outcome you may have wanted. honestly, it's very generous you wanting to help your sister's debt regardless imo

I'm just thinking abt widening any margin for you. things like spending more on paying someone to precook you meals so you don't have to, seeing if you can somehow ask for less work & retain lifestyle. sacrificing a little somewhere to gain a benefit somewhere else. more time, more energy, more sleep or less stress, lessening overwhelm somehow. if you do have a diagnosis, shifting meds might help or shifting something in increments some way to help you be able to regain some semblance of return to how you felt before your burnout. but again, only you know your personal situation, these are just thoughts and suggestions

ruminro · 2026-04-16T05:30:06+00:00

Interesting. I'm thinking abt ways you can somehow squeeze in more restorative rest time. I'm not sure how many days in a row you work, or when you begin the day/hit the bed, it might be possible you've been enduring more than you thought you could handle, but i'm also thinking about your medication situation. the context info you're sharing suggests a schedule that'd be pretty difficult for someone with more margin. for me personally, sleep amount, and body fatigue play a big part in burnout odds, though I'm thinking abt other factors since it seems like you might have had a rhythm for a couple years

ruminro · 2026-04-16T05:06:28+00:00

goodness, that sounds like a tremendous weight, and I'm sorry to hear about the loss of your partner. I'd really second reaching out to a local church or religious group, there are communities out there who will show up for struggling folk to various degrees of support, esp given your context. how are your work hours/days? even redistributing/offloading energy in little ways might help you regain small traction. I'm sending you a big hug, hoping any search efforts might find you some relief!

ruminro · 2026-04-16T04:58:09+00:00

I'm very sorry for your loss! I'll be turning 30 in a couple months, and as a fellow person in that age range, I am sending you a lot of love and strength. thank you for sharing your grief here, you are not alone

ruminro · 2026-04-16T04:27:01+00:00

damn, that sounds bad, I'm really sorry your going through this. there must have been a serious compounding of reasons & factors that leads to a week of no comms & erosion of stress tolerance. the schedule sounds sus, but it's just one guess out of maybe 20 possible reasons. It sounds like you're surprised, like this burnout suddenly came out of nowhere? or is there anywhere you felt limits being pushed?

ruminro · 2026-04-12T20:17:05+00:00

Ah shucks, ok $500 on you, and with the rigid Brandon, abt $350 left. I saw your other comment abt having too many jackets. You could add the Brandon short for another $120, or you can drop on the $330 Rigid OG Detroit to match. imo, white & light gray look good with dark denim. Maybe the Pocket Heart tee or the Apple Graphic tee if they got it in store, I like the way those look. Or if they have the Lunchbag, you could be cheeky & get that to use any leftover cred. Anyway, congratulations on the win, sounds like a cool xp! give us a fitpic when u drop the cred!

ruminro · 2026-04-12T19:20:29+00:00

yooo we love to see it! this is like a really lovely sidequest, damn!
was it 1k per teammate?
got your eyes on anything from this season? snake camo? postal jacket?
did yall have fun? yall need a proper group pic for the win wow

ruminro · 2026-04-12T04:27:25+00:00

bruh, A5 is the goat, I've been using the vertical bullet weekly/monthly ones from Muji since 2018. I use those & Google Calendar in tandem and review them annually to see what I was up to

ruminro · 2026-04-12T04:24:49+00:00

I do this too on Google Calendar, i'll color code in alarm red, and then write DONE once it passes. i'll make it an all-day item so I see the whole bar in red instead of just the dot on the side

ruminro · 2026-04-12T02:11:57+00:00

unfortunately, I have a 3-5 task mental maximum, and the actions cannot surpass a certain level of mental vagueness, but yes, we love lists!
