I'm still going to get that one "brand name" starter watch for around $300. That's my new max budget.But for now, as a palate cleanser after sending back ANOTHER Seiko 5, I've bought some more AliExpress shitters. As my taste evolves I'm trying new things. They're cheap enough to afford to. Some are cheap and some are really fucking hilariously cheap. But I don't regret any of them.Say what you want, keep telling me I'm "wasting" my money and need to drop over $1K on a single watch.But I'm not there yet. And how will I ever get there if I don't keep trying new watches I like? You do it your way with your money, and I'll do it my way with mine.This is fun to me. The browsing, the research, the discussion. Any watch I'm paying more than $25 for has gotten good reviews by people who aren't shills. Any watch I'm paying less than $10 for is just a goof. Who fucking cares? People pay more than $10 for LUNCH now. Lunches don't last. We're learning that some of these shitters do. I've only been here a couple of weeks but I really like the board. You can be a snob at me all you like. I can take it. In fact I find it amusing. For the rest of you, thanks for welcoming me with all of your valuable advise. I'd be NOWHERE without what I've learned here.I just bought all of these in my image. The two in the middle are the cheapest hand-wound mechanicals that are supposedly well made.
>>18622846nah dude, the watch is not "broken" you're mind broke and you're just useless don't blame the watch for your own stupidity
>>18623326I took it to a jeweler and he had to saw the springbars to get them out. He said they were the wrong size and shouldn't have been used in the first place. His regular tools wouldn't get them out either. Unsurprisingly he said not to buy any more Chinese watches. But I mean to show him the good ones. Don't use "nah" in my thread you stupid faggot Australian. You're always wrong.
>My usual opinion is Chinese watches are total shit, but not in this case. This is YOU being an idiot and the springbars were good ones that you can't figure out even though you clearly stated that you know how to do it with nearly anything and have had no trouble before.
>>18623330NahYou got chang'd and have no one to blame but yourself
>>18623332Yes. It is clearly your fault. Wait until you try clipping a stem to the right length lmao
>Spread the cost! click here to pay in 3 interest free payments>We are sorry, your application to spread the cost has been rejected after our background and credit check.
>>18622946Rich people take out loans to buy things because they are usually using those things make more money. For example, taking out a loan to buy a building so that you can use that building to run a business. You are not doing that, and that's okay; this strategy isn't for you. It's best for you to pay for your items at the time of purchase. Their strategies do not work for you. I wish you the best.
>financing $150 instead of something outlandishly expensive>a jacket which is probably shit considering the price>rejectedyou know how bad your credit score has to be to be rejected for $150
>>18623051They're also doing it because you pay no tax on loans. You always want to borrow against your assets instead of liquidating them to avoid taxes
>>18623051Rich people use their assets as collateral to get loans that they use to invest in more assets because debt is not taxed It's a loophole. The reason billionaires don't pay taxes is because they use their stocks as collateral for loans and don't have to pay any taxes on the debt. They don't get paid a salary, they get paid in stocksThis is not the same as you thinking if you use Klarna to finance a pair of sneakers you're some rich genius
>>18622775It also tricks you into believing you have more money than you actually do because when you see your bank balance you don't see all the upcoming payments for the bunch of petty shit you financed. Then all of a sudden you're in the red and owe a bunch of interests to a bunch of people and are getting rejected for fucking $150, which is their business model because they weren't giving out interest-free microloans out of the goodness of their hearts.>I'm too smart for that, it won't happen to meIf you had the financial literacy required to not fall into that hole you wouldn't be doing these tiny microloans either, it is a pitiful amount of money that you will not be able to leverage into anything no matter how savvy you think you are. Just pay upfront and save yourself the headache of having to track that shit.

She's not doing it to cover her ass cheeks, retard. It's to fix her wedgie.
>>18622993Newsflash: women are attention seeking whores
>>18622993There's really no good excuse for this because women's shorts can be short as hell, showing the entire upper thighs, but WITHOUT showing the ass cheeks. Plus seems like a pretty good way to get some sort of infection when you sit down in public. I also wouldn't like to sit down where someone's ass cheek sweat was no matter how sexy she is.
>>18622994it's Jewish to hate whores? what?
>>18623318Yes, that's why Jesus had to forgive a whore because kikes fuck children.

How do grown ass men in their 30s film themselves dressing up like this for a video and not think, "Wow this is gay and cringe as fuck"? How do people actually do it? I'm genuinely shocked.
>>18620961Obviously because there is a market for it. The real question is why are you watching gay cringe men in their 30s dancing around on the internet?

If you have no chin or are to fat.
>>18622937They look like metrosexual caricatures of masculine ideals.
>>18623049>to fat
>>18622937uncs are taking revenge fr
>>18622937beards serve to smooth over and average out the looks of the bottom half of your face. In other words, if you have a shitty jawline, recessed chin, fat, etc then hiding all that with a beard can make you look better. But if you already have a jaw that looks like it was carved from marble, hiding all that with a bushy beard is just a waste, and will most likely decrease how good you look.So if your face is lean, you have a good jaw/chin, etc then it's probably better to either go clean shaven OR just stubble or a short beard. Something that doesn't hide what god gave you. All this isn't accounting for individual preferences and blah blah blah

>>18623238Posting in a Rabbi thread
I saw this old, fat and really short Asian guy on my explore feed talking about fashion and aesthetics. He had a lot of likes. Is this actually good fashion these days or is it just a joke and only liked by other ugly people who shouldn't be invested in aesthetics-based hobbies? Seems like it would be painful to care about aesthetics when looking like this in the mirror each day.
i think he looks cool

/balding/ and /finasteride/ general - hair is love, hair is life!Sticky: http://tuxbell.com/index.php/BaldingReminder that if you can clearly see down to your scalp when your hair is wet, your hair is thinning, lots of small new hairs sprouting at the hairline or crown is a sign of hair recession.Holy trinity:Tabs: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FinasterideLotion: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MinoxidilShampoo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KetoconazoleFinasteride/Dutasteride are 5-alpha reductase inhibitors that prevent free T from being converted to DHT, a byproduct of testosterone that serves no purpose after puberty but to choke out your hair follicles and make them thin out and die in a few short years, a condition known as androgenic alopecia.5ar inhibitors prevent your hair from getting any worse, mild regrowth is expected, rapid onset diffuse thinners see a significant recovery on fin alone. Can be taken orally or topically.5ARIs are not dosage dependent, taking as little as as 0.2mg daily fin can reduce serum DHT by 68%, while 5mg reduces by 72%.0.5mg daily dut reduces serum DHT by 95%, but is considered a second line treatment, and can be more expensive and harder to get prescribed.

been on minoxidil and finasteride for a month now, originally my dermatologist didn’t think I was balding but I told him my dad is bald and older brother started balding. Thankfully, he prescribed me the meds. I decided to just check to see if I had any noticeable changes. Zoom in on the top of the picture.am I crazy or are these vellus hairs? Does this mean I was actually balding?
>>18622867Didn't know fin existed back then
>>18623057If it's your hairline/midscalp/crown then it is always balding.

You know when you are in an artistique frame of mind you pay attention to details and tend to [re]interpret everything... How to keep that schizo frame of mind from "real life"?

I used the ordinary's vitamin C suspension 23% last tuesday (I also use adapalene, but I didn't use them the same day) and my skin has started to peel a bit. It's like, not severe and there's no redness but it's "flaking off". My scalp has started to itch as well, but I don't think they're related, although I do see the same flakes I see on my cheek/chin area from the skin peeling off in my hair, but that can be from it transferring from the pillow case. What do I do? I've only used Vit C once so it's not in my routine. I haven't put on adapalene for 2 nights now and I think I'll chill until a few days and see if it clears up. Are there any good moisturizers or tricks to stop peeling?
>>18622864this is pretty much the goat in barrier repairhttps://www.laroche-posay.us/our-products/body/body-lotion/cicaplast-balm-b5-for-dry-skin-irritations-cicaplastbalmb5.htmli wash, then use my typical moisturizer, give it a moment to dry, then layer cicaplast balm on top.you could just do wash and cicaplast too if you want.---when did you start adapalene and is it just 0.1% gel?typically you'd want to work your way up to every day useyou'd want to do the adapalene at night and the vit c in the morningyour skin could be too sensitive to do both, especially if you just started on adapalene. you should give retinoids about 3-4 months of consistent use before adding other actives, so your skin has time to adjust. there's a purging period you have to get through were your skin will be especially sensitive. Comment too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>18623043I use .3% adapalene since the end of Nov and before that I used 0.025 tret for 3 months. Honestly, i’ve got fairly resilient skin when it comes to actives but it might be that both are too much as you’re saying.
I just wash my face and apply face cream before sleep and after waking up.
