Scathach posted:People are stupid as hell about identification. A few years ago I was in a gas station buying beer and the clerk informed me that since my ID was marked "learner's permit" rather than "driver's license" he couldn't sell me alcohol. I was 23, and it was an Arizona permit so it was very clear that I wasn't underage-- not only do people under 21 have their licenses marked "UNDER 21 UNTIL (date)" but they're oriented so they're thin and tall rather than short and long like normal IDs. Around 1999 I was a bouncer in Victoria, Australia. At the time, "your learner's permit is not acceptable ID for getting into the pub/club or buying booze" was the (yes, totally stupid) law. A venue selling booze was required to display several signs at the door, one of which listed (and provided pictures of) the acceptable forms of ID. Learner's permits were not on there. Learner's permit's were specifically excluded from the list. Was it dumb? It was absolutely dumb. It was also very, very serious - another sign at the front of every venue detailed the penalties involved, which started at fining the bouncer $500 and ramped up to fining the venue $60,000+ and revoking their liquor license. You would not believe the amount of times I would have the same exact argument with people on a Friday or Saturday night. It's not the stupidest poo poo I ever heard at that job, but goddamn. It's changed so you can use your Learner's Permit now, thank gently caress.

Did no one ever tell you that it's kind of rude to ask people about stuff that's weird about them, since they might be self conscious about it? Or are you the kind of person that expects strangers to explain their birthmarks to you? Fried Watermelon, I can totally empathize. I had a strawberry birthmark on my neck as a kid, and another large one on my arm, and adults would constantly ask me in a playful way, 'Who's been sucking on your neck?' (Or other kids would ask me, less innocently, who had been giving me hickies). It started when I was in preschool and went all the way up into middle school, so it always came off as really creepy or invasive. uranium grass has a new favorite as of 20:59 on Jan 26, 2016 |

Sure some folks are smart and 'get' stuff real well or can learn things quicker than others but the vast majority of "intelligent" people are just people who are really good at one thing or another and as dumb as everyone else at basically every other subject.

At my first job me and another guy would just gently caress around and mess with each other all day. One day I was apparently wearing a shirt that made it partially visible, and this guy asked me what happened (since it looks like a really nasty bruise), and I told him it was where he punched me the other day. I had to tell him the truth about 20 minutes later because he felt so bad about it. Of course the loving around resumed at that point.

Do you wanna know the secret of looking good in a hat? It's the looking good part that needs to come before the hat. But even dashing good looks can't save a fedora. Other than that? Age, and that most hats look best on men with sharper features Really though fashion has mostly moved away from fits and forms that compliment a hat.

Because it's like the fedora crowd has ruined things for ALL men. Honestly, I think fedoras are probably still acceptable if you do it right. Hats are like a seasoning. It accentuates and helps enhance your coolness, but you actually have to be cool in order for it to work. If you're just a dumb loving goon then a fedora won't turn you into Indiana Jones. Milady.

Because it's like the fedora crowd has ruined things for ALL men. No single item can make a person look good. Dressing well is about wearing clothes that fit properly, go well together, and suit the situation. You can wear a hat and look fine, it just won't magically make you stylish if you're also wearing cargo shorts and a webcomic t-shirt.

I bought my first suit from a 90+ year old tailor in town. it came with an old style fedora, and he made sure to stress that I "tip it to the side when I wear it, less I look like a damned fool". Old tailors are often the best tailors.

That's really it for younger dudes in 2016. Ladies can get away with many more styles. Except for cloche hats. Nobody looks good in a loving cloche hat in 2016. Not even a real loving princess can carry one off:

I have a fedora I put on together with my long coat. It's when you walk around in just a t-shirt with no proper coat or jacket that a fedora-wearing becomes a sin. Also, it should be used outdoors or while you're on the move. NOT in front of your computer.
