I bought a pair of expensive Japanese pants and socks. It made me much more happy than I could ever have expected. Coming back from the store I took a nap in my new pants and socks and each time I would wake up, I would think about my new pants and socks and happily go back to sleep.
The last time I remember being this happy after spending something for myself was with the Nintendo Switch 8 years ago.

>>22040I only always get feelings of guilt when buying clothes, because even bottom tier shit is very expensive.
That said, what kind of pants and shoes are they? Are they indoor shoes? What's special about them? Is it hypebeast style shit?

I bought a pair of black Japanese jeans on sale for 80€. Fit seemed very nice when I tried them on in the store, but at home I realized they're a bit tight in the waist area when sitting. They should stretch out slightly but judging by my belt loops I also put on a bit of weight over the holidays so I'll take it as extra motivation to lose 1-2kg.
I think I might spend some time lurking Vinted, apparently there's some good deals on vintage European designer clothes to be had buying from Italian sellers.

>>22053> Besides I'd open a thread if I had an interesting idea worthy of a whole thread. Currently I don't.This imageboard is too unpopulated for threads about "ideas". They'll get 5-10 replies and then will drown. Discussions should be grouped into major topics, such as "gym/sports/fitness", "literature" and so on. What are you interested in in your life? What are your hobbies?
I think we can create a thread about women and dating, this is a distinct topic, which can be redirected from overblown today thread to its own thread.
No.22056
>>22055Very hot take: Most Ernsts are a bunch of social media addicted phone victims and thus can only consume and possibly react, but not act upon themselves.
I just skimmed through the catalog and there are a bunch of threads that should have attracted more activity given the userbase here, but for some reason didn't.
I might or might not bump a bunch of them later.

Good quality fashion for a reasonable price is cheap thrifted designer. The way something is woven, the material chosen for a t-shirt or whatever kind of clothing is usually better and it also looks better. Once you delve a little deeper you can sometimes see what is cheap from Zara and what is not. Zara dress pants have a shine to them from the plastics for example.
Of course even some designers use plastics but even there qualitative differences exist.
>>22047>apparently there's some good deals on vintage European designer clothes to be had buying from Italian sellersInteresting. I think buying designer from Japan is also very cool and cheap in many cases.
Also check sellhelp gmbh, search the better, pricier scandinvian brands: their basics can usually be bought for little money there.
>>22056Bigger online communities are a better opportunity to discuss things. EC is like a sort of bar to me. Hence the today thread being the best thread usually.

>>22040What did you buy exactly? There is a second hand designer for Japanese clothing here and I want to check it out even though most things might be a bit to extra for me
even thrifted these are usually to expensive for my taste: and I already spend larger part of my income since I work fulltime No.22072
>>22041>>22064I received a gift card for a good urban 35yo left-leaning upper-income educated class small clothing store. Came to spend it during sales.
The pants are from %nanamica%, a japanese clothing and design company and the socks are from %rototo%. It doesn't feel like any clothes I ever had to the touch (the pants are woven half-coton half-wool), and it gives me a good silhouette.

I have been going to bed after 1 for the past two days and right now I actually feel it.
I could *really* take a nap, but I have to work. I also wanted to go for a run tonight, but I think instead of the projected 7km I might only do half or so if I don't wake up.

A friend of mine is apparently in constant acute physical pain because of how unhappy he is, to the point he used to think he may suffer of poisoning. I’m as unhappy as the next guy but that’s a really impressive level of emotional pain, I didn’t even know one could suffer this much. He doesn’t really have a reason to be this sad, it’s a mental illness.

Woke up late. Spent the morning watching Chinese TV and then I had lunch, groomed myself a bit and then went to college to deliver my presentation.
Big triumph. Mopped the floor with everyone, lecturers couldn't find a single thing wrong with my delivery or conclusions.
Total, flawless victory. Especially great considering the amount of work I put in was miniscule I feel like. (Will bite me in the ass next semester, but right now, I enjoy the nectar of victory.)
After the workshop I talked with classmates for like two hours to the point where the bookstore closed so I couldn't actually pick up the book I ordered. But I don't really mind I guess.
At home I had dinner and watched some anime with friends.

Used my brain so hard today that I actually felt it tire down, and then I had a one and a half hour conversation with my boss about a new project. Good thing I took notes. Bad thing I can't take notes of everything. My working memory is constantly short of overflowing and I think that is what is causing that feel of a spiral spring getting tightened in my head.
There are moments when I have this voice in the back of my head "get a manual labor job, thinking is too hard", but it will never be an alternative. Or at least, not now. I drank more beer than water today and I have a slight headache. I'll wait for the next time I have to pee and then I'll go to bed.

Slept very little and very badly. Woke up twice. After breakfast I went to the city and picked up the book I couldn't.
The girl working at the bookstore recognised me and didn't even ask for my name.
I read some and had lunch and then spent some time gaming.
Had a coffee.

They had a catered lunch for everybody at work today. I didn't know why we were called up, just that there was a meeting of some sort. Entered the room. Saw people sitting down at tables. Eating. Talking. I am neither a socializer nor an enthusiastic eater. Got the hell out of there and went back to work.

Finally got back into exercising again. My right leg hurts but I had to do it.
Wasted a large amount of time trying to make a pdf file smaller but I succeeded. It looks like shit now but it doesn't take the e-reader 15 seconds to flip a fucking page.
Tomorrow will be even better I think.
