its the easiest way to dress, takes no effort, but people still think its "a look." I go to a cheap thrift store where they sell nice suits for like $20 total because nobody wears fuckin suits anymore. I have a friend who takes them in for me, but you could probably just learn how to take in jackets yourself I don't think it's that hard if you want to avoid the ReviewBrah look. Sometimes I like to wear an oversize suit though if it's not too stiff a material. Just make sure the shoulders fit.

These.

I bought them because of the soles. With no insole in it it's just a few mm of flat rubber between your foot and the ground, I always had problems with shoes falling apart because they use a hollow grid pattern about an inch tall in most shoes. The grid eventually buckles under my uneven gait and then they're useless. So I got these. There's a nice thick, chunky removeable rubber insole about an inch thick at the heel that really helps spread the weight evenly despite my tendency to place my weight on my inner side of the heel. I've had them for 3 years and they're the best shoes I've ever owned.

Metric is the most retarded system. It's only usefulness in in scientific documentation. It's completely impractical for ordinary use. It's absolutely batshit to jump from Centimeters to Meters to Kilometers, as compared to Inches to Feet to Yards to Miles. It is very easy to abstract an inch to a foot, and a foot to a yard. It is terribly ridiculous to try and take a centimeter and imagine out a meter, no matter how many steps you break it into. Metric only takes into account the ease of written computation, whereas Imperial is ideal for mental visualization. To demonstrate my point, there has never even been a science fiction novel which imagine a universe without 60 seconds to the minute, and 60 minutes to an hour. We all accept this, and never complain about it not being decimal, because it is extremely convenient to divide time in many different ways. The compartmentalization of time is totally arbitrary, as are all measurements, and the actual world needs to be divisible by more than 10 and 2 and 5. The adoption of metric is a deeply alienating process, particularly for the fact that most people never think about the unreality of measurement to notice where the flaw was introduced.

Because you're retarded and are literally blind to what was not given to you. The human mind cannot and does not visualize each number from one to ten in the same way. At around 5, imagined objects begin to become a bunch, and are no longer conceptualized individually. The larger the number gets, the less meaning it has as a real object, hence Stalin's very obvious observation that 1 death is tragedy and 1 million is a statistic. Only an 18th century, opium-smoking, draughts-playing, retarded rationalist who confuses induction for deduction could fail to see that even numbers have qualities that go beyond mere quantity. Consider, human societies have been working with math for well over 3,000 years. You couldn't build the pyramids without measurements. Do you really think it took all that time for anybody to consider making things divisible by ten? For crying out loud, we have ten fingers and ten toes--if anything were to become the natural base it would be ten. In fact, this feature is one of the things we like about ten and why the metric systems seems to "make sense". But in a world where paper is rare, where information needs to be transferred orally, and kept only in memory, ten is extremely inefficient. It is difficult to keep track of, it does not divide well for practical purposes, it is aesthetically inflexible. And please understand, measurement decides everything in a society. How will the buildings be made? How will the carts by made? How much of an ingredient will you use in the medicine? With an abundance of paper, digital calculators, and plenty of digital storage space, we can conveniently ignore the incredible inefficiencies of metric, but it still shapes the way we think. The imperial system developed out of what was useful, out of what was efficient for the actual transmission of information. The only areas where it can become burdensome--sceintific measurement--are precisely the areas which are best equipped to deal with inefficiencies and complication. Saving 10 minutes off a research project is not worth transforming society. A mile is it's own distance which is superb for understanding long travel, and it was far more convenient when we still retained the various distances between a yard and mile such as a furlong (1/8 of a mile, and 220 yards; the relationship between either can still be easily imagined). A kilometer, at roughly 3/5 of a mile, is far past a furlong, but still a bit short for measuring great distances. Nobody uses a Decameter or a hectometer. Why? Because they are useless. Ten meters is easily understood as simply ten meters. 100 meters is still easily visualized. But the next jump up in terms is 1000 meters, which is not so easily visualized. The only ease of the metric system exists in its ease of remembrance as a system. People complain that imperial does not make sense as a system, as though understanding the system of measurement is more important than understanding what is measured.

You're the ratarded autist. Why does the system have to look pretty? Why does the system matter more than what is measured? The brain cannot easily distinguish between 700 meters and 1000. But if you know what one furlong is, it is very easy to understand and physically see the difference between seven and eight of them. Same goes for feet to yards. A centimeter is easily grouped into ten, but it is not easily grouped into 100. The brain cannot visualize that well. But because a meter is ten decimeters, and a decimeter is 10 centimeters, a decimeter fails to work as a visual container of space. Metric was designed as a tidy system, and was not considered for its actual every day use. The imperial is a very messy system, but was built out of every day use, so it makes sense, even if it is not easily explained. As a hopefully final point--why should the simpler system be considered the more advanced and intelligent system?

Do you honestly think it's a good idea to use a system of measurement where a table is .8 meters high, and a chair is .5 meters high? What's the point? People generally vary in height only between 1.2 meters and 2 meters. It's absurd. The entire system of measurement completely disregards the lived human experience. It's completely soulless. No wonder you are all depressed, fatalistic, and boring. Everything you experience can be fit inside the meter. How sad.

The time measure is not imperial though, the base 60 system comes from Antiquity, and indeed it's better than base 10. Note the the metric system could have worked with any base.

The imperial system however doesn't even work with numerical bases, and it doesn't include units for electric intensity, quantity of matter and intensity of light (all of which the metric systems has).

> It's only usefulness in in scientific documentation.
You mean science in general, not just documentatin, aka the pillar of the modern world. But that system is actually also useful in trade, logitics, practical engineering, and pretty much any kind of large-scale eneavour.

> It is terribly ridiculous to try and take a centimeter and imagine out a meter
I seem you've never looked at a ruler.

>The human mind cannot and does not visualize each number from one to ten in the same way. At around 5, imagined objects begin to become a bunch, and are no longer conceptualized individually.

Metric is for handling all kinds of scale, not just what an be visualized. By your token it would even make sense to have miles because that's too many yards to visualize.
It's also not really hard to visualize ten objects independantly, much easier than cosntructing a whole measuring system for instance.

> fail to see that even numbers have qualities that go beyond mere quantity.
Completely besides the point.

>But in a world where paper is rare, where information needs to be transferred orally, and kept only in memory, ten is extremely inefficient.
Do we live in such a world right now?
If you argument is that imperial was useful and made sense 300 hundred years ago that's a fair point but an irrelevant one. We were talking about the usefulness of the metric system right now, compred to the imperial system.

> With an abundance of paper, digital calculators, and plenty of digital storage space, we can conveniently ignore the incredible inefficiencies of metric
I give you base ten is not the best, but it's ridiculou to claim imperial is not ridden with inefficiencies. In fact the mere choice of a base implies a compromise between the necessity for the most relevant quantities to be neither too long (which requires a high base) nor too small (which requires a low base).
The ideal base for computation would be something like 12 or 20 or 24 (or perhaps 60 as 5*12 like the Mesopotimians used).

Anyway you're way too stuck up on base ten being central to the metric system, again the principle would have worked with any base, and having a base in the first place is already an improvement for scientific purposes.
For practica purposes people come up with their own units depending on needs, as you said, it is absolutely not incompatible with the metric system, in fact the former allows for translation between different unit, so it makes for a good general framework (again, something the imperial system lacks).

>Saving 10 minutes off a research project is not worth transforming society.
More like saving 10 minutes of tens of thousands of research projetcts, which is itself a transformation of society. And creating units for quantities which hadn't one previously. The imperial system only deals with distances, volumes, weights and temperature, and it doesn't even allow to express volume as a product of lengths (unless you want to replace "gallons" with "cubic feet", in which case you're actually aping the metric system).

>Nobody uses a Decameter or a hectometer. Why? Because they are useless. Ten meters is easily understood as simply ten meters. 100 meters is still easily visualized.
So being easily vizualized is a flaw in one case and a quality in another? You coul also say "a foot is merely a foot, a yard is merely the length of a step".
