ironically a lot of the slowness of firefox w/ublock is, afaik, due to youtube/google fighting the adblocker and attempting to degrade the experience. I find it's plenty fast on other sites, but leave open a few youtube tabs and it goes to shit after a while

mostly directly from levis ngl. relaxed or "relaxed straight" fit, ideally non-stretch, but the stretch ones can be more comfy sometimes. It's overpriced but I only ever seem to have a couple favored pairs at a time until they wear out, so the cost per year is still low (I have a wider variety of shorts in rotation in the summer, mainly thrifted, but winter is depression season).

This is because ordering on larger sites like ebay or amazon, or literally anywhere that isnt direct from a manufacturer, I not only have to struggle and often fail to find exactly what I want, not a similar looking thing that is actually a new style that doesn't fit me, but I also have to take the >50% chance what I ordered is going to be a cheap knockoff not the real thing. So at this point brands with a consistent product line, not new slight variations every 3-6 months win out for me, even if they are more expensive. I'd buy more in store but stores around here rarely carry my size.

I have to admit that I'm an annoying raw denim guy

I have so many questions ngl. I'd ask the annoying raw denim people in my life but a) I don't know anyone that into it and b) they're annoying.

where do you get them? any example brands that might actually have larger/oddly proportioned sizes?

And how do you wear them in/shrink them to fit or whatever its called? Is it just the fit that's better, or do you feel like the quality is also better/longer lasting vs regular off the shelf jeans?

I also have a bad habit of "accidentally" working on cars without changing into my work clothes

hahahaha yeah this is real

sometimes I have the forethought to wear clothes I don't want to ruin, but it's like a 50% chance at best.

SERIOUSLY

You think a leader of the biggest economy in the world, with a population in the billions, and an active US rival is going to just immediately do an about face and kiss the ring like some USian CEO or media figure or whatever? Xi doesn't need to kiss the ring, he doesn't need to curry favor, China has something much better than favor, it has leverage

there's no guarantee that anything will be enforced consistently rn but it's enough of a possibility that it seems bad to risk it if you aren't desperate

also side note a lot of asia and the middle east requires 6 months of validity to enter, and europe 3 months
