Quite wrong there lad, I see you're also in a semantic hell of your own. Never mind, I'm here to help you out.

A bad argument is easily reduced to 'because I say so', of course people with bad arguments won't admit that because it admits one's own stupidity or lack of argument. That's why the suspect is clinging hopelessly to the notion that nondescript isn't clear. You can observe this easily with children bickering amongst themselves.

A good argument is different, you can't boil it down to 'because I say so'. Take smoking for example, you should not smoke because it's bad for you and has a dramatically negative impact on your life. That's a good argument because it's true, it's not true because I think it is.

Now, if I were to say you should stop posting on this board because you're an insufferable cunt, then I can't really back that up with anything— it's reduced to 'you should not post here because I say so'. The argument is weak and ridiculous, the only hope would be the unlikely event that people would echo that. Even, the argument would make me look immature, like a child having a temper tantrum.

Don't worry, if I see you struggling again I'll step in and help you out. We'll get there.

Well I highlighted the point multiple times that people that don't live in their head don't know what they mean if the use vague non committal terms you can't get more clearer argument than that.

Well this is only the second most insufferably bland cunt off of 2020, keep it up lads. There's time yet.

Would you say it's a rather nondescript cunt-off?

I've been cutting my own hair once every couple of weeks since this thing began - and into a style too, not just buzz all over.

People haven't noticed on Zoom calls and even in person (one person commented on how my hair's looking about the same as it was in March), so I reckon I could have a shot at this barbering lark.

The only thing is getting a straight line round the back; that's a bit wonky since I'm doing it with 2 mirrors.

>The only thing is getting a straight line round the back

I can't vouch for it myself as I went bald before I learned this trick, but apparently you can wrap a belt around your head to guide your neckline. I feel like you might just end up with a bowl cut look unless you're very good at fading, but I don't know, I keep hearing about it.

There's also this which I'm sure is fine and not an insane object to own at all.

A dirty brush is a useless brush.

Today I've given my face a good scrub and now I'm sat with a nose pore strip on. I should do this more often; I feel quite refreshed.

For a little while now I haven't been washing very thoroughly. I've been scrubbing my body with a brush each day but the soap remains dry. Today I found a number of dense, dark blackheads in both creases of my nose. Quite deep, some leaving a noticable hole after extraction. They were really firm.

>>6177
Those might not be blackheads and you shouldn't be picking at your spots anyway.

>>6183
Yeah, these were definitely blackheads - no smaller than 1mm in diameter which, when coming out of your face, is pretty big. But yeah I'll definitely stop touching those 'sebaceous filaments' now that you mention it. Thanks!

Assuming I need a year-round wardrobe:

10 Uniqlo Oxford button-down long-sleeve slim fit shirts in white and light blue
One Uniqlo v-neck sweater in merino, one in lambswool
One Harris tweed or coarse worsted blazer, one corduroy blazer (sale or charity shop)
One pair of leather-soled brown half brogues, one pair of rubber-soled brown brogue boots (whatever Northampton brand is on sale or factory seconds, possibly charity shop find)
Two pairs of chinos, two pairs of cords, one pair of wool slacks (slim fit, whatever brand is on sale)
Cheapo ASOS Harrington jacket, wool pea coat from a charity shop
14 pairs of socks, boxer briefs and undershirts (light grey) from wherever is cheap, probably H&M
Fulton Ambassador umbrella
Some fat quarters of Tana Lawn fabric for handkerchiefs

I can sew, so I'd do my own alterations and add elbow patches to the sweaters and blazers. Yes, I am an extremely specific kind of twat.

What are these like? The pictures on Amazon suggest they're a bad shape and fit.

£25 to cover my bits and be decent. £50 on a helmet. The rest on a second hand YT Jeffsy. Fuck it, if it's that bad i'm sending it.

>>6172
Fits fine for me. Ultimately YMMV depending on body and whether you prefer v-necks.

>>6174
I prefer henley shirts, but I worry they'd look too much like a pyjama top.

>>6149
They have other things going on besides being overweight. Like you have things outside of being a sneering web-weirdo to keep you alive. You do have other stuff going, yeah... ?

>>6153
Calm down, fatty.

Are you alright mate? Do you want a nice pie? Come on mate, we'll get you a lovely pie from the chippy, that'll get you right.

>>6154>>6155
Huh?

>>6156
It would seem they're mocking you for having the gall to defend yourself/fat people.

Is this a tailored suit or a bespoke suit? And what purposes do you see yourself using the suit for? If you are just going to buy a dull all purpose suit, I wouldn't see the point in paying the extra for something you could buy a decent version of on the high street.

The point of getting a tailored or bespoke suit is not about a quality of manufacturing but a choice of materials and style.

If all you are doing is getting the suit made to measure are you sure it is justified? Without knowing what you will be paying is it worth that over the regular store suit?

To justify a suit like that, it has to be something special.

>but they're Americans and the service there might be different, or there might better options here.

As a general rule people looking for suits from abroad get them from east Asia as a normal Joe you can afford to pay a skilled tailor for their valuable time there rather than one in America.

It depends. If you can find a decent fit by having a high street suit altered, it's not really worth the risk and hassle of ordering online. If you're a weird shape and have always struggled to find a good fit, I can wholeheartedly recommend one of the cheap MTM tailors.

If you do go for it, I'd strongly recommend paying a local seamstress to measure you up - it shouldn't be too expensive and you'll avoid the risk of cocking up your own measurements.

>paying a local seamstress to measure you up
THE DREAM

Is that foreign chap who used to post ads in Private eye still going?

As others have said, unless you're a particularly odd shape, buying off the peg then getting it fitted at a seamstress is likely a much better idea and will look exactly as good.

Even with accurate measurements to give, I don't think I'd want to rely on a suit being sent to me I've never tried on - even the worst alterations shop will at least be able to see how a suit wears on you in real life, and can adjust accordingly.

Unless you're really set on the idea of choosing your own fabrics and so on, I'd advise against it.

Whichever way you go though, I'd also recommend getting your shirts fitted too. That was a game changer for me.

>>6131
Don't really understand how anyone could "like" someone like Gavin McGinnes. He just seems like such a fuckwitted, brain wormed yank grifter cunt. How on earth you could derive any value from his "CONTENT" is beyond me.

He just seem to be a genuinely detestable, pathetic and hypocritical human being with no sense of self awareness. All those videos posted are (to use internet parlance) cringe asf mate.

Just awful yank shite. Get too fuck.

>half a dozen XXL hoodies all of which are about 20 years old and way too big for me.
Depressingly, I now fit my old XXL hoodies rather well. They are still comfy as fuck, those gym rats can keep their lycra as far as I'm concerned.

Once I hit my late 30s and had a bit of a mid-life crisis, I went the opposite way. The sudden realisation that I was creeping up to 22 stone and getting married, was the kick up the arse I needed to lose weight. I am at the heaviest I have been in 5 years at 16 stone, but at my lightest I was 14 and a half.

>>6092
From what I've seen it's more of a ladies forearm thing. A bird tried using it on my leg but it managed fuck all and overall seems like very tedious work.

>>6094

How long did you use it for? It says you need about 8 treatments.

>>6084

I wet shave my balls and the irritation really isn't that bad - it's definitely worth the extra sensitivity. I think the mistake most people make is not applying a liberal amount of skin cream directly afterwards, along with in the morning and evening. Everywhere else I just trim short with an electric razor.

>>6092

I've been doing some research and apparently they work quite well. I might get one for xmas.

This thread gives me the shivers.

It works out a hell of a lot cheaper, you can get a better shave, but there is a learning curve. A multi-blade cartridge razor is designed to give you a decent shave even if you're completely cack-handed, but it takes a bit of practice to shave well with a safety razor. You don't need to spend a fortune - this kit costs less than £15 and is perfectly good to try out DE shaving. There are loads of decent tutorials on YouTube.

>>6056
> Are they really better?
Somewhat.
The razors are cheaper than cartridges, sometimes drastically.
Using a straight razor requires slightly more agility than the multi-blade thingy - it's easier to nick yourself.
I find that it shaves cleaner than the multi-blade, I don't have to make several passes over most areas of my bony face.

Sage because I usually don't faff with it, electric shaver does the job even if it's not quite perfect.

Plastic microbeads are bad, but you can get grainy bits made from apricot stones or rice.

>>6050
I'm not rubbing rice on my face. I don't want to turn Chinese.

>>6051
May be a smart move post-no-deal though.

Washingup liquid readily cuts through facial grease. Squeeky clean!

>>6054
You're better off using it as shampoo.

The teeth in the top left look better than the ones bottom right. They look like they'd glow in the dark.

>>6036

Indeed I'm sure most people who have teeth as white as the before picture wouldn't bother. Those of us who don't however might want whiter teeth. So let's cut the straw man 'you alreadyy look great' bullshit.

>>6036

Maybe it was a second image, how do you know.

>>6040
I'm his dentist.

>>6031

currently going through the process of whitening via dentist, steps as such:

got a mould made of my teeth at the dentist
come back 2 weeks later, get personalised kit with teeth whitening gel, syringe things and my plastic mould to squirt gel in
every evening before i go to bed i squirt gel in the mould and put it on my teeth overnight (but often i can only last four hours before it gets too burn-ey), it's quite uncomfy to wear and very strongly acidic so it hurts like a bitch if your teeth are at all sensitive (mine are a bit so i have to alternate nights).

the results have been quite good so far tbh, i wasn't expecting like jurgen klopp results but then again i think the creepy whitening shit is done via veneers which are like 10 grand a tooth so you'd prob go down my route which cost me 290 quid for the mould and the set of gel and syringes (and dental advice).

(A good day to you Sir!)

It's all old Jags and Volvos.

Depends on the car.

My fabia does over 50mpg at 50mph on the motorway.
At 70 it's more like 40-45mpg.

With a 6-speed gearbox it wouldn't drop as quickly when you get above 50.

>>5999
Why did you post this in /poof/, you berk?

>>5999

The question is utterly meaningless without knowing what you are driving. Different engines have different levels where they are most efficient in outputs, different shape vehicles have different wind resistance.

It would be like asking 'at what temperature and how long should I cook?' without mentioning the food.

>>6006

This.

In my current car, there's only about 100rpm difference between 70 and 80 in 6th gear. In my last one it was close to 1000, so significantly different results.

Drive your car in top gear at 70 and 80 then get back to us. Or just post your make, model and year here.
