do you mean like those doctors and nurses you have been denigrating at every opportunity?

who is braver and exposed to more harm/trauma: a frontline ICU worker during a pandemic, or jay on a base somewhere playing xbox hearing a dull thud with dust coming down from the steel beams once every 11 days?

sorry but in the rest of the reasonable world, 'veterans' of iraq-afghan aren't accorded any great 'hero' prestige at all. they are more often seen as people with limited education/work opportunities who look to the armed forces to give structure to their lives and provide the opportunity of an otherwise vanishing career. you fought an illegal and asymmetric war with a vast technological advantage and killed/immiserated hundreds of thousands of innocent people. it's a national disgrace in which our young servicemen were badly misled. that you didn't have a moment of valour or dive on a grenade for your squad just makes it all the more sordid and pointless.

the only veterans on this forum who did service requiring any bravery and deserving any ordinary respect left ages ago. you're lucky you're the only one here who can hoot about his service now. what would gunslinger or FEOS say if they saw you preening like chris kyle? didn't they all used to pick on you and call you a pog every time you tried to have a share in the glory?

Is it because he gets hot, I wonder? I'd try some cooling sheets. Stuff made to help with temperature regulation.

I sleep with one foot outside of the blankets to regulate temperature.  I'm sure it would drive you nuts

You're full of vim and vigor today aren't you? Still a complete physical and intellectual coward, but plucky. If you were here I'd rub your shaggy head for you and tell you what a good boy you are.

it's nice to see you adopting the same jovial tone to me as i do to you. did you learn something from your little trip through our correspondence over the years, when you were lying and trying to make out to people that i ever 'grovelled' to you? cute.

adults wear pyjamas, jay. men, too. have you ever been to a department store lately?

again, i'm very sorry that you come from a class and background that still bears asinine hang-ups about 'masculinity'. it's not my problem. you should talk to a psychiatrist about your absent father and its ramifications on your outlook.

i think it’s safe assume that if most brands do pyjamas, men are buying them in sufficient number.

this incessant need to grade things by ‘manliness’ or masculinity betrays only the neuroses of the bearer. is this alcoholic drink manly enough? should i go to a store to buy clothes? is my job sufficiently masculine? do i think like a woman? being in touch with emotions is bad!

i can’t imagine how anyone thinks they’re making or winning an argument with this stuff. it makes them look mentally crippled.

jay constantly accuses other people of being insecure, which is pretty wild when you think about it.

imagine being afraid to wear pyjamas.

the style-that-is-no-style, aka 'normcore'? its 90s variant became wildly fashionable a few years ago.

new balance now market their 990 shoe as 'a shoe for dads in ohio and supermodels in london'.

and yes, i have them, despite probably being nearer to the dad in ohio at this point in my life.

i picture a lot of khaki and one of those big cork hats to protect his fragile ginger bonce from the penetrating UV rays.

in my head i seriously picture dilbert as somewhat of a composite akin to this guy.

we've seen you. you wear poorly fitting clothes and look like someone uncomfortable dressing middle-class.

evidently you send your wife to the department store to buy things for you.

990s master-race.

i don't actually run in my 990s, they are way too expensive and suede is the worst material for it. plus i prefer to run in woods/trails so need a different shoe.

i have this shoe for casual wear.



in that colour pictured and a darker grey/black variant for different outfits.

i run in asics.



though it's probably my last pair of them, as they're becoming maddeningly hard to find and the newer iterations are rubbish.

Things I have learned from my pandemic long hair experience: never hire a murderer with a beard. Beard hair sheds pretty easily. Also people with Viking beards are probably consistently unintentionally eating their own hair. I have to be careful with a bowl of cereal or soup that I don't deposit hair into the bowl.
