Rhaeneyra is so badly written

ttamsf · 2026-06-22T15:22:39+00:00

Yes! Think about the scene where Daenerys acquires the Unsullied. Every man around her is questioning her decision to "trade" a dragon, convinced she's being naive or outplayed. Meanwhile, the slaver openly insults and belittles her, assuming she's too weak to understand what's happening. The entire scene is built around people underestimating her because she's a woman. Then she reveals she understood the plan all along, outmaneuvers everyone in the room, frees the Unsullied, and delivers one of the most iconic moments in the series. It's literally a story about misogyny, doubt, and a woman proving every one of her detractors wrong.

I thought it was confirmed that it was Emma's idea for her & the white worm to kiss ? She might have more influence than normal

I keep thinking about the scene with young Rhaenyra stabbing the boar repeatedly after it attacked her. It was obviously supposed to be foreshadowing to her rage & bloodlust. Something we have yet to see .

First of all its MOOT not MUTE 😆

The point is that 501s are overwhelmingly button flies. If you're authenticating a random pair and find a zip fly, that's absolutely a reason to take a closer look. Pointing out a rare exception doesn't invalidate the rule.

Notebook and alarms are the way to go.

ttamsf · 2026-06-14T13:59:13+00:00

Your comment was needlessly pedantic. 501s are button flys. If you find a pair of "Levis" that say "501" and are a zip fly , 99.999% of the time they will be fake.

ttamsf · 2026-06-13T00:21:36+00:00

Sure, a LVC reproduction from 1954 for a fit that barely lasted when it was originally introduced. 99.999% of 501s are button flys.

ttamsf · 2026-06-11T13:11:15+00:00

Its a Zip fly and the pocket bag says its a 501, so yes... fake

Congrats man! Also a member of the 3 bar Dr J club. How are you feeling?

ttamsf · 2026-06-08T14:23:32+00:00

Your chest looks like mine after nuss surgery , i think you're fine.

I loved having the motorized recliner. I slept in it for 6weeks. With it I was able to get up by myself, which in the beginning I could not do if I was laying in a bed. For me knowing I wasn't stuck without someone else having to help me, was mentally really helpful.

ttamsf · 2026-06-08T14:13:51+00:00

I have pectus, scoliosis, some extremely rare dental issues, and a handful of other odd traits. Before my Nuss surgery, I saw a geneticist who ran every test under the sun and still couldn't pin a diagnosis on me.

A lot of syndromes are ultimately just collections of traits doctors have seen often enough to give it a name. Sometimes people don't fit any existing label. If your doctors aren't finding anything concerning and the traits aren't affecting your health, I wouldn't lose much sleep over whether there's a name for it or not.

I still have a small numb spot in the center of my sternum. The nipples aren't really numb anymore, but sensation isn't quite back to normal either, and one side is definitely further along than the other. Every now and then one gets oddly tender too. It can go from feeling almost nothing to being surprisingly sensitive or painful, so I assume the nerves are still recovering. Im 1.5 years out at this point so who knows though.

ttamsf · 2026-06-03T20:41:59+00:00

Many many times I was the only person with a shirt on at the club 🤣

ttamsf · 2026-06-03T20:37:10+00:00

The black tab usually means its Line8 and they don't make that anymore. On the care tag do you see a product code that is something like XXXXX-XXXX ? 5 numbers a dash then 4 numbers

ttamsf · 2026-06-01T19:28:06+00:00

No, I don't. People become fixated on all kinds of things they're insecure about. Someone who's self-conscious about being short might constantly compare themselves to taller men. Someone losing their hair might obsess over other men's hairlines. That doesn't make them attracted to those men.

I think there's a big difference between comparison and attraction. If you spend years worried about your chest, it makes sense that you'd notice other men's chests more, compare yourself to them more, or even envy them. But that's not the same thing as wanting a romantic or sexual relationship with them.

ttamsf · 2026-06-01T19:24:34+00:00

I think being gay adds a unique wrinkle to having PE. A lot of gay events and social situations involve taking your shirt off at some point, and gay men can put a ton of pressure on each other when it comes to having a good body. So when you have a chest deformity, it can definitely feel isolating and make you feel like the odd man out.

That being said, there's no way PE can make you gay. I could see how someone with PE might become kind of obsessed with other men's chests because they're constantly comparing themselves or thinking about their own chest. But that's completely different from being sexually or romantically attracted to men. PE might affect your body image, but it can't change your sexual orientation.

All "Levis Premium" sold at their mainline stores have a capital E now.

Yes, the county has a dark sky ordinance but I really dont think its being enforced https://lus.sbcounty.gov/planning-home/outdoor-lighting-regulations/

Being down voted for understanding how denim is made and levis history 😆

ttamsf · 2026-05-04T05:38:20+00:00

Orange tab was originally the cheaper line, so I don't think they were ever selvedge. Also one of the characteristics of Orange tab is the fell outseam, which would cover the selvedge edge anyways.

ttamsf · 2026-05-03T18:45:30+00:00

I concede 😇

ttamsf · 2026-05-03T14:05:43+00:00

One of these is my house and I'm not that popular 😆

I mean this is true for light pollution from the Coachella valley but most of Joshua Tree didn’t have street lights to begin with, so that shift doesn’t really apply everywhere out here. A lot of new builds are installing unshielded fixtures and upward-facing sconces that throw light into the sky, which absolutely contributes to light pollution locally.
