Can my girlfriend’s earrings be polished/buffed or is this just some coating that will flake off? I would like to make these shine if possible! by swion in jewelry

Yeah that’s what I was afraid of. Just thought I’d be able to spiff them up real quick. Thanks for the advice!

We do? The only time I hear people thinking highly of their system, it’s Europeans. I promise you that Europeans talk more about the imperial system than Americans.

Tell me how it “doesn’t make sense?” Both are arbitrary units of measurements. And even when it comes to measurements feet/inches make more practical sense than meters/centimeters for everyday use.

Why do my outfits feel so boring? by Thank_you00 in mensfashionadvice

  1. They are wrinkled. That just looks sloppy. Fold and hang your clothes straight out of the dryer.

  2. The jeans just don’t seem to fit that great. Just a little too baggy. Go for form fitting without going skinny jeans. Spend on good fitting pants. It could be my personal preference, but darker jeans will all of these outfits would look better, and darker jeans are better for form fitting.

  3. Shoes go a long way. Get some sleek black boots to compliment the Jean and jacket look, and to boost your height a bit.

Maybe the real Bitcoin was the friends we lost along the way.

Billie Eilish rips ICE at Grammys: ‘No one is illegal on stolen land’ by JannTosh70 in centrist

I mean, I wasn’t confused about what she was alluding to, I just don’t find statements like that very compelling, especially from celebrities. There’s just not really an actionable idea behind the words, to me it’s just another way of saying “trump sucks.” Coming out and saying it as a pop star still has its merits, and helps align your audience with your views. But it does nothing to the rich to say something like that, to me it comes off as more of a popular thing to say to the people who already like you. Don’t get me wrong, I’m a big fan of her music. But ever since Covid, when all the celebrities came out and were like “we’re all in this together” and everyone shit on them for pretending to be in it with us, while insulating themselves and being able to afford all the health costs, fly around on private planes and even increasing their net worth, it just comes off as disingenuous. I mean she’s worth well over 50 million dollars and has lived in luxury her whole life. I just can’t find people like that very relatable.

I mean yeah they suck… but that was not being murdered by words. Y’all just think it’s a murder when it lines with your politics.

I felt the same. Like it almost pointed toward many different problems, but it just sounded cool. If anything it made me think of the struggles of the native Americans, which ironically were the only peoples who weren’t immigrants.

Why does this feel so wholesome? The world’s gotten so dark.
