Planning on taking a trip soon but have no idea where to go..

Hey Repladies ✨ I browsed this subreddit for a few months in late 2019 and it briefly ran my life. I ordered the infamous AE Mansur Gavriel Bucket Bag dupe, scored a dreamy Doen sweater dupe and a few pairs of Celine earrings that have fooled many a rich bitch.

When 2020 arrived, I decided to try my best not to buy ANY new clothes for a year. I deleted my Reddit account, which was too full of buying temptations, and tried to focus on paring down my closet.

Oh, young sweet me! When the pandemic hit, I hit the insane online sales out of sheer boredom and racked up a ton of fairly priced items. I also started working out again. And it stuck: I’ve lost about 20 pounds over the last two years and feel better than ever.

But now… NONE OF MY CLOTHES FIT. Not even the adorable cheap stuff I got for next to nothing in spring 2020. And in an effort to rebuild my wardrobe, I have become a RepLady once again.

My weight loss coincided with my entrance into (relative) financial security. Previously, I bought whatever was on deep deep sale at mid-tier brands – which was mostly trendy shit that aged poorly. A typical item in my closet are Madewell jeans that I wasn’t crazy about but were super marked down; I’m thrilled that replife can allow me to buy Toteme asymmetrical jeans instead (and for roughly the same cost tbh.)

My 2022 project will be strategically rebuilding my wardrobe into the French-Scandi wannabe I could never afford to be: I’m trying to buy pieces that could work nearly year-round and last for years, and I’m willing to spend the $30-40 minimum that a very great AE piece seems to require.

I made these buys in those pursuits, after religiously consuming reviews of either the items themselves or the stores they were purchased from, both here and on AE. Spoiler, I’m thrilled with all of them (with one or two sizing complaints.)

My measurements are:

• Height: 5’8
• Bust: 32 inches (ABTF tells me I’m a 28DD, I wear a 32B in most brands)
• Waist: 25 inches
• Hips: 34 inches

Onto the goods! To view AE links, click on the Imgur links and read the first image's caption. These stores are now my chosen family and I am NOT trying to see them get shut down, like Poetry Store did while I was in the process of writing this review :(

I’m not a weirdo, I was drunk. And until you’ve had the night I had, somehow spam texting the mosque emoji to your girlfriend while shouting, “Tequila and red wine is so a cocktail!”—until you’ve been there, I ask you not to judge.

If you have been there, you’ll know that my girlfriend became my ex-girlfriend that night. You’ll know that neither she nor I are Muslim and that the mosque is in the blurry vicinity of the hospital emoji. You’ll know that Tequila and red wine is not a cocktail. And most importantly, you’ll know that at three in the morning, drunk as Saharan bottled water, sushi is sushi is sushi.

I wouldn’t have remembered any of the gas station or it’s dubious offerings except that I thought I saw the guy who played Draco Malfoy in the Harry Potter movies. I tried to play amateur paparazzo, and I left the video on record after my phone went back in my pocket.

The important folks are me, my friend and roommate Benjamin and a very accommodating cashier that I’m gonna call Leif.

Ben: His hair is white because that’s an old man, you fucking dick.

Me: That’s such a Slytherin thing [I burp] um…to be.

Ben: He’s got a walker!

Me: Nah. Uh-Uhh. No. It’s that’s—he’s a walker on his hands.

Ben: Yes! See! Old man—not Malfoy.

Me: But broom. You’re jealous…

You get the idea. I had forced myself into a subhuman hole of obnoxious intoxication and I had found my AARP wizard bad boy, I was damn certain of that. He was my boozy, tinfoil treasure, my starfucked distraction from the crown jewel of my tire fire evening.

Me: Yes! Sushi!

Ben: Dude, no! Gross! This is an Exxon.

Me: 7-Eleven has good Sushi, man.

Ben: One-hundred percent, it doesn’t. And this is a goddamn Exxon station.

I picked it up.

Now, in hindsight, I understand Ben’s consternation. He was being a friend. I was repaying him by being that intolerable child at the grocery store whose parents quietly pretend is a ward of the produce aisle. Not a great look. Of course, I had zero capacity for that sort of self reflection in the moment, so I soldiered on with my dream of eating and not getting botulism.

The packaging was simple:

Sushi Connection

HAPPY CHASE ROLL

I found it later on in my apartment and that’s all it said. No ingredients, no graphics, no barcode. Just black plastic, clear plastic and a sharpied stick-on label. But I wasn’t some deputized food inspector, I was drunk. And hungry.

Ben: It’s not eve

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

We all know most jumpers can look however they please, but what's their normal or default human appearance when they take it? What do they wear?

My Current two is as follows:

Arthur: Blond Hair, Blue-Green Eyes, A natural light tan, slim but muscled body, shoulder length hair normally free and wild but sometime pulled into a small pony tail. He constantly looks calm and chilled out, like some kind of eternal beach bum and his face makes it impossible to tell if he's male or female. Overall a friendly happy guy. He's normally in shorts and an open white shirt as well.

Machiko: Female Mahito(Including the lines) but with Gojo's Eyes and Hair color. Normally she has a constant resting bitch face though she likes using powers to make herself slightly off. Such as giving herself forty teeth and stretching a smile just enough to show them all. She likes wearing different schoolgirl uniforms when she expects to have to run and move a lot, but her preferred clothing is Hyper-Expensive things. Such as her car being a Rolls-Royce Boat Tail, she enjoys wearing Gucci and other expensive things, hell She actually uses Red Bottoms as her casual every day shoe and for anything that she deems actually important she'll custom order a new outfit for the event. Normally her custom outfits are in total around $1,000,000,000, though they can get higher and lower. She hasn't been to many jumps yet so she hasn't had a chance to get the best stuff yet.

Can you keep up with Autechre?

It’s pretty much a character-defining kind of thing: Either you think the seminal U.K. electronic act Autechre are taking the ball and running with it to places you didn’t know existed, or you’re convinced that they’ve gone bleak, technical and chaotic, and you just want them to write some damn melodies again. But really, that’s like criticizing surfing for being kind of wet, and if it’s the first thing you hear about Autechre, let it be something you quickly move beyond.

Comprised of Rob Brown and Sean Booth, Autechre are ambient/IDM pioneers, or perhaps godfathers, of U.K. electronica, along with Warp labelmates Aphex Twin and Squarepusher. From the 1993 release of “Incunabula,” through 1995’s “Tri Repetae” — the pinnacle of the band for those who loved their harmonic, ambient side — and onto 2001’s “Confield” and 2003’s “draft 7.30” — where things got much more complicated, harsh and acutely digital — the duo has always challenged existing fans, while attracting new ones.

Critics may be unanimously unable to describe the music, but Autechre can be quite eloquent and lucid in their own defense. Before coming to Japan to perform at Electraglide tonight and tomorrow, Brown spoke by phone to The Japan Times about self-consciousness, Thom Yorke and Japanese audiences.

Your music is famous for being difficult to describe. Do you like to talk about your music?

It’s hard to be objective about it. Sometimes I read reviews where someone thinks they’ve got a handle on what we’re doing, but it might be completely the other side of the planet from where I’m coming from. Me and Sean [Booth] have developed kind of together with our instincts. Doing that, you don’t really have to talk about the music as such.

So you’re not self-conscious?

Our music’s pretty honest. Self-conscious is usually when people are a bit guarded and a bit surreptitious about their sources or their influences. We’ve been at it for 15 years and we’ve been through all the various phases.

Are you feeling like an old man? Do you still have the passion you used to?

Depends on what day it is actually. The year before last I had a little baby boy, and he’s amazing, but it did disrupt the way Sean and I work together. With the last album [2005’s “Untilted”] we basically ended up working more fast and furious with the time we did have together. But at the same time we can get results more readily. Now its almost like we can turn some gear on

Alot of great jokes get posted here! However just because you have a joke, doesn't mean it's a dad joke.

THIS IS NOT ABOUT NSFW, THIS IS ABOUT LONG JOKES, BLONDE JOKES, SEXUAL JOKES, KNOCK KNOCK JOKES, POLITICAL JOKES, ETC BEING POSTED IN A DAD JOKE SUB

Try telling these sexual jokes that get posted here, to your kid and see how your spouse likes it.. if that goes well, Try telling one of your friends kid about your sex life being like Coca cola, first it was normal, than light and now zero , and see if the parents are OK with you telling their kid the "dad joke"

I'm not even referencing the NSFW, I'm saying Dad jokes are corny, and sometimes painful, not sexual

So check out r/jokes for all types of jokes

r/unclejokes for dirty jokes

r/3amjokes for real weird and alot of OC

r/cleandadjokes If your really sick of seeing not dad jokes in r/dadjokes

Punchline !

Edit: this is not a post about NSFW , This is about jokes, knock knock jokes, blonde jokes, political jokes etc being posted in a dad joke sub

Edit 2: don't touch the thermostat

Do your worst!

Ants don’t even have the concept fathers, let alone a good dad joke. Keep r/ants out of my r/dadjokes.

But no, seriously. I understand rule 7 is great to have intelligent discussion, but sometimes it feels like 1 in 10 posts here is someone getting upset about the jokes on this sub. Let the mods deal with it, they regulate the sub.

Good Afternoon Everyone,

I stumbled upon this case about a year ago on the Unidentified Wiki and have just been enveloped in it ever since. I fell down every possible rabbit hole and continue to come up empty. Since I'm studying journalism, I wanted to put what I've learned to use. I will also include a Google doc that has every source that I've viewed or cited in this write-up.

I want to give a huge heads up, as this case is rather intense and graphic, so viewer discretion is advised.

Thank you for your time, and I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Tragedy

In a man-made crater in the middle of a dam, the area was devoid of any activity. It seemed to be a landscape that was completely untouched by the hustle-and-bustle of nearby Los Angeles city life. At least, after the workday of construction crews.

That was, until a thunderous boom rendered the area a crime scene–one that would be, almost, completely forgotten for at least seventy years. This is the case of the Los Angeles County Does.

Before diving in, it should be emphasized that this case has little-to-no information on it; and save for some basic descriptions of the scene and the victims, as well as a slew of speculation, it is shrouded in mystery.

Discovery

The response time to this explosion was estimated to have been minutes, and the origin of said explosion was found to be a stick of dynamite. Whether this stick had been lit or if it was a dud is unknown. Regardless of how the stick combusted, the blast left two young people dead.

The first victim, a female, was estimated to be between the ages of thirteen to nineteen years of age and was–upon a glance–likely of petite stature. However, her height and weight were unable to be determined, as the explosion had left her mangled and in pieces; only her face was left in recognizable condition. Her male companion was far less lucky, as only the bottom half of him remained. Because of this, no physical details could be approximated (except for the pants and shoes he was wearing). This led investigators to believe that he was the one closest to or even holding the dynamite stick when it went off.

Odd Occurrences

Just a (surprising) note, cases of people dying from dynamite explosions were unusually common back in the early 1900s.

Specifically, a user of the Genealogy forums found two instances of young children dying while playing with idle sticks of the explosive. A February 1924 printing of the Ellensburg
