  1. Can you really go wrong if you're buying sweat shorts or is it worth paying for quality? It's getting pretty hot where I live and I need something functional and comfortable. I looked at reigning champ but it seemed like a lot of money to drop on a pair of sweat shorts.

     

    Go buy regular sweats, cut to desired length, and enjoy.

  2. ^ In a similar situation myself except she was the one that called it off. I could tell the flame was gone but I just thought it was because she had uber hard classes last semester (our senior year). But yeah we both talk about being kinda unhappy, but hers is because of school just destroying her and mine is because I miss her (or maybe im just lonely?). Which she is most likely knows. Maybe this is more of a superawkward post..

  3. I once had to take this upper div Anthro class about race and gender, and the main point they were trying to get at was that both ideas are social constructs. Like for example, pink was thought to be a very masculine color in the Western World prior to WWI, but nowadays its seen as feminine. Also most parents tend to reinforce what they believe a "boy" or a "girl" should like (i.e. we have a son so let's buy him toy cars or we have a daughter so we're going to paint her nursery pink). Another interesting discussion we had in that class was about Sickle Cell disease. In America this disease is largely associated with being African American, as in people believe the disease is caused by your "race." Then several years ago there was a case of a white girl having the disease and the doctors were dumbfounded. It turns out that the disease actually stemmed from your ancestors living around swamp areas. The girl with the disease ended up having Greek ancestors so then it made sense. But for years doctors believed that "race" was the cause of the disease. Very interesting stuff indeed.

  4. These are not from blackmeans.

     

    These are actually from now a defunct brand called Guantlets.

     

    Whats left on the internet now is only Rakuten and Yahoo Japan. They use Lewis Leather quality cowhide.

    Hmm interesting. This particular jacket always comes up as a blackmeans collab but I did think some of the translations were a bit shoddy. Also the sleeves are apparently way long which is too bad.
