I don't understand why people want to buy clothing that is 'destructed' - pre-ripped and pre-frayed. Not only do they want to buy clothing that has been ripped, they are willing to pay extra for clothing that DI or Savers or Goodwill would reject and not re-sell.

Why would anyone willingly pay more to buy defective clothes? This boggles my mind.

maybe abercrombie and hollister aren’t a great fit for you

Do you also refuse to buy jeans that are "washed" to lighten or change the appearance?

I personally don't buy jeans that are pre-washed [1] but I understand why someone would do that. I think there is a distinction between buying pre-washed jeans and buying pre-destroyed/cut/ripped/frayed jeans. I understand the former; the latter boggles my mind.

[1] I buy Levis 501 shrink-to-fit jeans and wash them myself then let nature take its course with respect to color, softness, rips, and frays.

I don't frequent reddit and have never been to the r/rawdenim subreddit, but if they also think buying defective clothing is silly then I agree with them.

Is there a good shuttle service from DFW to Frisco? I am flying in Monday morning and wondering if there is a better option than Uber/Lyft

28 years ago today, at pretty much this same hour, Mrs. NWC and I were driving to the SLC temple to get married. We have returned, like salmon to spawn, to deposit our last progeny to the university of Utah.

kind of like that salmon analogy. Thought I’d try my material out on y’all before I share it on Facebook!

Congrats on both your anniversary and on getting rid of a kid. Condolences on the kid's destination.

Am I going to go bald?

Only if you're lucky.

I am your future you. And your future you says, start Rogaine now. And don’t forget toilet paper for your kid.

I have a feeling we are about to forget a lot of things.

I was in downtown SLC tonight and I guess ComicCon, or something akin to it, was going on. People that dress up in costumes and go to that kind of event are socially ill-adjusted dorks.
