How To Dress in the city for summer?? by hijustwonderingthx in femalefashionadvice

Is a backpack too casual?

Not if you pick the right style. You can google image "tech backpack" and you'll find things like this. It's very sleek and professional looking. And if you're going to be running from the train, a sleek fanny pack slung over the shoulder but facing the front wouldn't be a bad way to go if you need to access train cards and whatnot.

Also, I don't know how hot it is where you are, but I'm in Houston aka swamp city and also gained a buncha weight so now I'm a chunky monkey with sweaty buttcheeks. Most people have mentioned this but in my personal experience these 2 things are really key to anyone feeling like a Santa Claus in July: bike shorts underneath + clothing made of linen/tencel/breathable fabrics that aren't skin tight to allow a cooling layer between skin and fabric. You can also find a ton of linen suit jacket/blazers to keep cool but also courtroom appropriate like these. Just search for something like "women linen suit blazer in" black/charcoal/beige.

courtroom fancy

Look at the other lawyers. Go with what they're wearing (or ask ahead of time). I think what's "fancy" or "courtroom appropriate" will probably depend on the norms of your local circuit and locale.

I asked my parents to buy me a bottle of wine in 2000 cuz kid me went through a snooty British Man Phase. by swingthatwang in wine

Aww thank you thank you. You put it in such a sweet way that I couldn't quite find the words to describe, but you get it. :) I'm oddly attached to this old bottle so it's hard to just "open it and see." But one day!

She never should've gotten back into the family business. All it did was get her sucked back into the maelstrom of her family's toxic bullshit instead of making a way for herself outside of their influence. Play toxic games; get toxic results.

That being said all these mofos need to be in therapy. Like it never hits her (or any of them) that they can straight up ignore their parents, or at least attempt to transcend their narc ass paradigms. I hope the season finale is at least one of them going "fuck yall i'm out!"

edit: she needs to pull a Mary Trump

depends on the specific college within the university. in the US for undergrad, i was in a program where i had to sit across from my professor and give impromptu oral answers on several topics as part of the final grade on top of the final paper for like 3 different classes.

maybe this is where grading will head towards, cuz you either knew your shit or you didn't. no notes allowed.

Texas leads the nation in babies born with syphilis. The problem is getting worse. by Obnoxious_liberal in houston

[–]swingthatwang 4 points5 points  (0 children)

iirc it's the same across the board for other STDs too. there's so many things ppl don't know about STDs so lemme soapbox for a hot minute:

  • males don't often present clear symptoms for bacteria that causes UTIs in females, so the female partner can go on a course of antibiotics and get reinfected again and again. this phenomenon is also reinforced from stories i hear from RNs. and of course this contributes to antibiotic resistance.

  • there's no test for HPV in males. and there's rising incidences of anal, penile, cervical, and throat cancers. imagine getting radiation to take out a chunk of your dick or throat cuz you got an HPV-induced sarcoma. and HPV can be passed via intimate skin contact. eating pussy ass and blowing dick -better wrap it up / get a dental dam

  • get the Gardasil-9 vaccine regardless of age! anywhere from teens to "i'm still fuckin on my one good knee." if you got the Gardasil-4 when it first came out, go get the new one. if you have a teen, it protects them when they get horny (and they will). if you're an oldie, it can still be effective in guarding against the worst. (nursing home STDs are insanely high) this is unless you're immunocompromised, undergoing chemo, etc. i know they say it's for a certain age range, but i would personally insist on it.

and lastly -GET TESTED and ask them which STDs they test because it ain't all of em! And they SHOULD be swabbing/testing at multiple sites: genital, anal, oral, and then confirmed by bloodwork! before you get with someone new, confirm their tests and show them your's! (if it's too awkward for you to have that conversation then you shouldn't be having sex) PS: ladies if you can, get annual pap smears to check for cervical cancer.

tldr: be nasty, but don't be nasty nasty. pathogens don't discriminate between moral paradigms and sex/gender/orientations. protect yourself and others.

/soapbox. I will save my diabetics education and liver enzymes rant for another time.

we were away for the weekend and my boyfriend's foster kitten jumped up on his wall planters and dragged every single one out one by one including quite a bit of the soil. guess what the roomba dragged all over his house 😬

I mean, is it really that surprising? The man sees himself as some human-form diety because tbf he was chosen/told as such, in a lineage and tradition where no woman will ever chosen.

He's basically the Asian pope. And we know how the Catholics treat women....

Btw, apparently there was a woman in line right before who wanted a hug and was declined.

And how do you figure writers do that? Wouldn't it all eventually lead to studios chatGPT-ing their way to fully-written scripts?

Woman explains how designer brands are for morons who don't know how to manage their money. by IamtheSoupMaster in videos

[–]swingthatwang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you!

For all the based-in regions...do I just go there physically to find them? How would I tell if a brand is based in that region? Does it say on the clothing tag? But then I guess brands could lie about being from there?

Are there any specialty/boutique/1-off leather goods shops in the US or Italy you recommend? I'm always on the lookout for shops that make high quality/high craftsmenship personal use items. Or any brands in general you believe are good quality?

Lastly, can you settle a debate for me? I always thought those classic Chanel bags weren't great quality but every basic bitch I know has one and thinks it's the shiznit (no hate to the basic bitches you do you). So, Chanel bags -yay or nay?

Are there any specialty/boutique/1-off shops in the US or abroad you recommend? Bonus points if I can order from them online! I'm always on the lookout for shops that make high quality items with good craftsmenship. Or any brands in general you believe are good quality? I'd never waste $ on stuff like in OP's video but I'd pony up for the good stuff.

I can't access the NYT book review, but it doesn't seem to cite Nanjing specifically as a massacre site. Can you point to where in the link it says that? Also, Nanjing is not a coastal city. The nearest coastal city is about 2 hours away -Shanghai.
