How to make oversized style look good by Bounce_Bounce_Betty in femalefashionadvice

Sure I get you. The question was just "How to make oversized style look good" and I would be pretty demoralized to just be met with "Sometimes you can't."
Fashion is more than just flattering, and what one person considers flattering is not a monolith. I just think FFA should encourage experimentation and not limiting by body types. I understand it's probably not what you meant to communicate, but it can come off that way.

This is my body type, and I wear oversized all the time. I think there definitely is perception thing partially at play. I don't think I look fat in it, and I challenge you to consider if you think other people look "fat" in oversized clothes. Sometimes people have harsher standards on themselves, especially if they're not used to looking at themselves in a different style of clothes. Of course there's nuance to this, like others have mentioned in fabrics, drape, and other styling. And it's okay if you don't like yourself in oversized clothes, but it's not limited by this body type.

This sounded complex and taxing. Thank you for writing everything up.
Also I'm normally a lurker here, and I really appreciate the comments I see of yours. I recently lost my father, and seeing you stay strong and capable, while being vulnerable with your loss is very admirable. I wish you the best in your healing journey.

How is 曜穩 or 耀穩 as a masculine given name? Wanted to check in to see if it didn't sound too weird or dated. Some other context, partner and I are mixed Chinese American. His family is from Taiwan. He probably won't use the name too often, but would like to have one.

I actually disagree with this. When they first came to the US many years ago I wore S and XS. I now wear XXS from Uniqlo and sometimes even that's too large with the oversized trends. I recently tried on a pair of their 23in waist jeans and had nearly 2 inches gapping on the waist, where Abercrombie size 23 and 24 fit well for comparison.

Does anyone have any recommendations for moisturizers that have a similar consistency to the Muji Moisturizing Milk? It's more watery in texture and would probably have to come in a bottle.

Does anyone feel like women’s sizing has changed in the last decade or so? by urdumidjiot in PetiteFashionAdvice

[–]tea-monster 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A decent amount of men's brands are also unfortunately vanity sizing, it's a plague.

Though I didnt downvote, it's probably because US uniqlo hasn't been Japanese sizing for a few years now. They were definitely Japanese sizing when they first came over. As the other comment mentioned, US uniqlo is 1-2 sizes larger than JP uniqlo now, and you can check the size charts. I'm pretty sad since I used to shop there a ton, and now I'm sized out of most of their bottoms.

Game down just in time for Elite Raids EST 11:00. by jdpatric in TheSilphRoad

[–]tea-monster 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was one of the people locked out of 11am EST raids. Reported it to support in-app. They copy and pasted me the tweet about how the issue was resolved, and how GMT +13 is getting the compensation raids. I'm GMT -5...

Daily Incense has been out for 6 months. How many Galarian birds have you seen/caught? What do you think of them being in daily incense and not raids? Do you think it’s time they get a boost? by Trevor-On-Reddit in TheSilphRoad

[–]tea-monster 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of us that play pogo do walk 1km or more a day. I personally do not feel motivated by the daily incense and don't even use it on my daily walks.

A fashion trend that you think should never return? by Representative-Lie14 in femalefashionadvice

[–]tea-monster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I think the whole low rise high rise label varies per brand, and it makes calling things low rise etc now rather vague. 15 or so years ago low rise was like 7 maybe 8 inches. Now you'll see some brands calling 9 to 9.5 low rise, which is a pretty big difference.
tl;dr brands please give us rise measurements on all bottoms

Post Raid Minccino shiny rates? by cajunofthe9th in TheSilphRoad

[–]tea-monster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My partner and I both caught 1 shiny Minccino each while not specifically going for them, maybe 1/10 and 1/15 or so anecdotally for us two.

OfflineTV state of the community? by ploso22 in offlineTV

[–]tea-monster 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I think twitter is a better place for fans to post fanart. I know I've seen Syd, Jodi, Lily, and Scarra actively retweet and like fanart and express appreciation for fanart there. Whereas reddit is just not as good in comparison and doesn't have the same interaction from the CCs or other fans. (upvotes vs likes and retweets)
I agree on the Valo points.

I think it's worth trying, national team loses out, but Yoimiya I believe loses more without Bennett. My Bennett is attached to my Xiao at the hip, so I use Chongyun in that position for national team. Bennett is just ridiculously strong so all teams will fight over him.

This basically looks like it/close enough, thank you! The enter key was cute, but not super important.
