1. EVERY ONE IN THE USA COMPLAINS. THEY THINK ITS SOOOO MANY HOURS WORKING. ITS EMBARRASSING. THATS WHY THIS COUNTRY IS FULL OF SLOBS AND 0 HARD WORKERS.

2. HA! MY PARENTS HAD PURPOSE. NOT LIKE YOU ENTITLED PRIVILEDGED MORONS WHO THINK LIFE IS NOT FAIR WHEN SOMETHING DONT GO YOUR WAY THEN COMPLAIN ALL THE TIME AND START SOME BULL**** 'GOFUNDME' CAMPAIGNS. HONESTLY EQUIVALENT OF A BUM ON THE STREETS BEGGING FOR MONEY. ITS SAD AND YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED.

MONEY DOESNT BETTER YOURSELF. KOBE SAID THIS IN AN INTERVIEW. HE SAW PLAYERS GET LUDICROUS CONTRACTS THEN GAVE UP THEIR PURPOSE FOR MONEY. THAT IS WHY GETTING CHAMPIONSHIPS FOR HIM WAS SO EASY BC EVERYONE FACKING SUCKED. MAYBE HE(DAK) SHOULD BETTER HIMSELF ON THE FIELD BEFORE ASKING FOR SOME JAW DROPPING CONTRACT HE DOESNT EVEN DESERVE??? LOL. HES A MEDIOCRE QB AT BEST WHO LIGHTS IT UP VS BELOW .500 TEAMS THAT MAKE HIM LOOK GREAT, THEN STINKS IT UP WHEN HE PLAYS REAL COMPETITION. HONESTLY REMINDS ME OF JEFF GEORGE. THAT DUDE FACKING SUCKED.

1. Who are you ranting about exactly? I'm not sure if you want me to feel ashamed or all yuppies in general. Maybe try to be less Trumpy and stay in the context of the discussion.
2. Life isn't particularly fair, true. Ignoring that, do you think it's a solid life goal to work 80 hours a week? Would you feel like you've achieved your life goals - your purpose, if you like - if you found yourself in that position?

MY GRAIL PAIR CAME IN LAST WEEK. #6,944 CHECKING IN Project ABP




i still cannot un-DS these. i am getting mixed reviews on legit checks. The fakes have gotten so good lately that even the top sneakerheads cannot tell the difference. of course they all come from China. just killing every industry known to man. first Corona, and now just selling non sense fake pairs.

My friend is wondering if this jacket would make him look like a yuppie douche. If so, what are some better options? I'm not sure what sort of shoes/boots he wears.

I got one of those patagonias. They are sick, so light and so warm.

I actually took it snow boarding and it was fine. It's way too facking hot for the casino though, so I don't wear it much.

But defintely a GOAT coat for travelling in the winter. Weighs nothing. Also rolls up into a little ball and you put it on and doesn't look wrinkled, looks classy instead. Fack who cares if it's yuppie, that thing is just pure convenience.

On the other hand my brother got me some fancylad shoes and they are the most uncomfortable pieces of **** I have ever worn. Seriously feels like two bricks with holes so my feet slide in. WTF.

my DL looking a bit weird lately and also feeling heavy AF. only DL once a week, might need more volume after GSLP.

i been looking at bar path for bench press and been benching like a donk all this time. it might be reason why my bench is beta. i think with small fix it can go up. felt v weird today but muscle memory needs to be corrected.

ha! yes, a lot of yuppies wear this light shell jacket. they also think it is a status symbol for some very odd reason. not expensive at all. i consider these yuppies fake yuppies. the real yuppies here in the Gold Coast rock nothing but Canada Goose. it's sickening.

never tried patagonia so i can not comment on it.

the yuppies here wear that along with their dress pants and dress shoes. the look is so off and just screams yuppie alert to me. instead, they should have invested in a nice over/top coat.

if wanting to look less douchey/yuppie, you need to go for a streetwear vibe. shell jacket with joggers, and some NMDs. anything else, and your vibe is not right.

lolol

loco,

what shoes did he gift you? i must know. you need to get measured on brannock. might not be your size. you might love them with right size and fit.

The questions to ask would be what does he want to do in it and what temps does he want to wear it in? Fall in the South? Sure. Winter in South with layer? Maybe/sometimes. Winter in mid/north? Def not.
Look, I am sick of this synthetic insulation bullsheit. Down is way better. They'll try to sell you on this "oh synthetic retains its insulation properties when wet and down doesn't." Csb why would I ever get it wet? That's what shells are for... With proper layering (merino wool base layers are the best thing ever) and an outer to break wind you could potentially wear this down to mid 30s, depending if you're moving around or not. Merino is $$$ but the best **** ever.

I find it amazing in 2020 we can't beat animals and prob never will... Down and Wool #1.

Patagonia is fine. It's kinda whatever, brand doesn't matter a ton. If he's trying to get props from the outdoorsy crowd, buy rab or something hipster.

Some people like actually being warm in cold temps and are not focused on how kewl their coat looks.
Canada Goose is for serious warmth in nasty conditions.
But I'd just buy a big north face parka, and I have.
It completely changed my perspective of what walking outside in below 0 windchill could feel like. Turns out with the right **** it could be a pretty pleasant experience.
Really it's all about how much insulation (down), quality of insulation, design to prevent cold spots/warmth leaks.
09-22-2020 , 12:12 PM
Lol, who wears clothes just for their functionality?

Yuppies.

He lives in DMV area so he can probably get away without North Face/Canada Goose
09-23-2020 , 01:49 AM
funny. entitled yuppies thinking they are better than everyone else. yet when i see a dozen of them, they all dress like facking clowns Project ABP . first sockless loafers, and now hiking/outdoor jackets with dress pants and oxfords. pathetic.

no. if youre wearing dress pants with oxfords, you stick with a top/over coat. looks more professional. u do not just chuck on a facking hiking patagonia shell jacket.

i remember 3 years ago, i was driving my sister to her work downtown. this yuppie loser was wearing the baggiest suit ive ever seen on anyone in my life. i asked my sister if she was an employer would she hire him? she say 'hell no, look at the way he's dressed'.

honestly is equivalent of someone wearing sweatpants with a facking blazer. makes no sense.
09-23-2020 , 01:59 AM
my biggest investment in a shoe.



with patience these will hit $2,500+. worst case is i sell and make money back, but considering how limited this shoe was, it will only go up.

currently in negotiations to cop a 2nd pair.

last night before bed, i watched the latest AMS video. this video gave me to motivation to pull the trigger. SACRAFICE.





tomorrow, rare off day. gym, and then more sneaker investing.

see you soon.

I have a couple of down jackets, although mine are Arc'Teryx and Rab. As Loco and TC said, they are brilliant - very warm and don't take much space.

I don't tend to wear it in the city, I use them for hiking or to get warm after a scuba dive. I have used it when it is has been -5 Celsius outside, and been grateful for the warmth. (The number one downside of becoming skinny is feeling the cold a lot.)

I thought they were quite expensive, although I've never spent $1,000 on a pair of shoes, so my scale may be off.

N1,

Thought of you watching this. Your shoulders obv very strong, chest just doesn't seem to get the same level of response for you doing bench.

Dont take this as a diss or anything, just something I thought you may get something out of.

LOVE IT Project ABP

Hours of negotiating but I got my 2nd pair. People will tell me how stupid I am for buying $1k shoes at resale. Little do they know there is still money to be made AND THIS IS A LONG TERM INVESTMENT.




see you soon, closing down the store.
