but i think what you may have meant is that when you look good, you feel good. or at least better. and that makes a lot more sense...
Of the former category, I think I like cosplay more than any of the rest.

i know man. i interpret what you meant to be that clothing and wearing what you want isn't about pretending that your life is more enjoyable than it is but that it actually makes your life more enjoyable, day to day. and for many people that is true. including most of us here.
my comment was that the flaming you received was probably due to the way you tried to express yourself.dying and coming back gives you considerable perspective

no not really, although i must admit i am mildly envious of the epic lottery winning that is mr pitt's life. although my wife is equally as hot and i actually think i look pretty good here...
but, on another note, what exactly is your point? should i post a picture of you next to every single rick owens runway show ever?
you misinterpreted my point to dudley, brought up an only slightly related question to which i directly responded, and then you posted this senseless image. what are you trying to say?
you asked what is real life? i know what you meant but to me its a silly question that deserves a silly response. is playing call of duty the same as going to war? obviously, not....dying and coming back gives you considerable perspective

Originally posted by Patroklus View PostI don't think playing a video game is the same as going to war, but I'm a little confused about the difference in putting on clothing as compared to putting on clothing?
all that happened here is that dudley said something and he got ribbed a little for it and i felt bad for him because i don't think what he said is exactly what he meant, so i just offered up my take on it.
then Shucks zeroed in on a small part of what i said and that started us in the direction of a new discussion. a discussion i hoped to avoid because i think its stupid so i posted a funny picture. Shucks got his feathers ruffled and posted an image that he thought would insult me.
i think Shucks also used that image to illustrate what i think patroklus is also saying. that anytime we put on clothes there is an element of fantasy or theater or identity projection or imagination in it. and i agree with you to an extent, but there are limits. whether that limit for you is "good taste" or social expectations or just what is within the realm of the law, whatever it may be is up to you. but when you bust out way past the accepted limits of your social group its usually pretty funny, but also pretty immature. thats all i'm saying. and dudleys original post had nothing to do with this concept.
and this should be common sense. the discussion about it is just bullshit wasted time. philosophizing over a silly non-issue in an effort to flex your mental muscles or make a shallow easy point for no good reason at all.
we are all thoughtful people that are hungry to talk about things and engage with one another, but there is a difference between meaningful conversation and meaningless nitpicky nonsense chatter-posting. so often we are wasting precious keystrokes on the latter.
there are two things i see too much of around here: overthinking and underthinking. both of which are on annoyance level 99. the underthinkers need to post less and the overthinkers need to post in more interesting places on more interesting topics.Last edited by cjbreed; 02-03-2014, 04:49 PM.dying and coming back gives you considerable perspective
