That makes sense. I recently looked into winter clothes, and there seems to be a lot of things that are costly because they're good, and things that are costly because they're fashionable. Like, I'm happy to spend $200 on boots that'll last me for many years and keep my feet warm and dry (that's a big upgrade for me here in New England).
But yeah I won't be spending $15 on a blank tshirt anytime soon x)

This makes sense. I think I will buy some cheap staples to expand my warddrobe and replace it overtime with quality things.

ooh i like this. I found some jeans that were super nice but $90, it's good to know that is a reasonable cost for jeans! thank you for your perspective

This was definitely a good read :0 I don't have much to add because there's so much but it makes sense to try things on first.
Does it make sense to spend a lot of money on staples that should last a long time, if I don't know much about fabric/clothes? (I.e. clothes might shrink, or i might find I didn't get the right combination of kinds of fits, etc.)

I never built a high end rig but isn't this normal? The highest end stuff would have diminishing returns per dollar right?

Reply to comment by noordinaryspider in why are "men's" skirts so expensive by twovests
I found some $40 ones that seem nice https://www.sumptuaryculture.com/products/skirt plus a bunch of $20 ones on Amazon!
I don't know much about Etsy's gentrification - should I avoid it then?

Oh yes definitely! I agree with everything you've said - I've been tutoring for awhile and I do pretty much all this. In fact, I'm kind of offended that you assume I didn't know this.
In all seriousness, I'm just Still Bad at reading people even though I do my best. The big problem is over the internet through message boards like this. "Are you familiar with __?" doesn't work as well when communication is over these large time scales.
And there's other times, like trying to convince someone of something based in math, but that's a whole other bag of bananas.

Hearthstone is pretty bad!
I loved YuGiOh and Pokemon as a kid, and Hearthstone let me relive a lot of that. But it's full of things meant to get you addicted and if you don't pay money / spend a lot of time on it, you will lose most of the games you play. At least with physical TCGs, you can make proxy cards and play with friends.

Reply to comment by musou in (Mandarin simplified) Chinese is such a rad fucken language u should learn it by twovests
I started with the Hello Chinese. I started using Memrise (flash cards), Duolingo, and LingoDeer as well. Getting streak on them takes about 20 min a day every day.
They all seem to have different ideas about where to start with learning, so I feel like it's balanced to use several different apps, if that makes sense?
