To be honest a lot of the earlier fast and the furious movies had a decent cultural significance to it (at least during the time) it helps to remind ourselves that the timelines collided with MTVs pimp my ride and other shows where they did atrocious modifications to the cars.
The bitter taste is left from the question that when the hell did robbing bank vaults and jumping cars across buildings become any part of a cultural significance? I’m not saying that movies have to be relevant to the culture, and in the movie world the natural transition and exponential growth of the action could only be set up by such exaggerated plots. But the appeal of Fast and the Furious was that it could be semi realistic to have car meet up’s or chases (ignoring the potential of causing a mini genocide trying that in Tokyo)
I’d say an interesting thought experiment would’ve been to try to think of a plot alternative which still had cultural significance. One on the top of my head would be the crew stealing car shipments trying to find some special car plotted with some family/crime drama.

How does one quantify fashion?
Bear with me here, I am looking to buy some new clothes and already have an existing set of diverse clothes. From cargos to chinos. Thing is, when I wear some things, I get compliments on my cargos, while wearing other tops, they look silly. What is a good way of quantifying or making it into an equation, such if I were to put in coding terms
if pants_baggy;
options = [tighter tops, tapered tops, blah blah]
I also have to buy new formals. I already have a black suit. Looking for any potential developments. I am aware it could just be a matter of trial and error, but there must be a general rule to coloring such as skin tone, contrast etc. What would be a natural progression? I’m thinking of a lightly striped black suit next. Or perhaps a navy blue one.
Any links/books/resources would be tremendously helpful. I am more cynical to the typical manosphere/male fashion pages. A bit more technicality would help.

I find music festivals to be quite draining. I don’t enjoy the fact that my ears are left feeling numb by the end of the session.
My go to choice would definitely larger events like a ball. Historically those are the times where I can clearly recall enthusiasm, and a sort of mental reset.
The beach is more of as a stress reliever than a rejuvenator.

This is really solid advice, especially
focus on befriending the men first. At least don't neglect them
To build upon that, while long term activities is certainly a factor. The immediate benefit from men’s positive perception of you is the most crucial take away.
Another important pointer would be to ask good questions about them. Put them on the spotlight, not in a confrontation way, but more so in the light of curiosity. You could do so where you keep track of the count of questions towards men and women, this would help fighting the subconscious paranoia which derives from feeling like you might be “exposed”

This makes me wonder of the potential missed opportunities from guys thinking some of the Thai women being a potential ladyboy. Honestly, I could see it happening to myself.

But a normal model from a reputable brand might make 5-600 miles if you are gentle with them.
Absolutely, this is not from any scientific data, but trying to optimize for weight often results in sacrificing a lot of material. Material which provides important structure and support for the shoe.
I’d personally suggest Nike Winflo 4. I had a pair for 4 years and they are yet to fail on me. >>>600km of causal walking, trashing it in water, mud, you name it, I’ve stepped on it.
You only make assertions but don't back them up
