Hi everyone! With Fathers Day coming up I want to really spoil my husband this year. It's been a rough one, and he's been working really hard and I think he deserves it! This is to include a trip for him and his best friend to go golfing somewhere really nice, drinks paid for, dinner paid for, and a new driver, and ubers back and forth to a hotel room so they don't have to worry about how many beers they drink and can sleep it off before they come home lol. Basically, an entire day where he doesn't have to think about the money, he can totally unplug, play a course he's never played and have a great time. I think I'd also like to buy him at least one nice new golf outfit though! Something about a new outfit gets him kinda pumped and I love that for him so much. He has some golf polos that he bought on a budget from Walmart and Amazon that he does like, but I want to get him something nicer for Fathers Day, because I know he won't spend that much on himself right now. Problem is, I don't know the first thing about men's clothes to begin with, let alone golf clothes. Can you guys recommend some brands for me?! I'm really trying to spoil him this year, it's the first year I've been able to do so and he deserves it, tenfold 🫶 TIA! submitted by /u/lovelyg4m3r to r/golf [link] [comments]

Hey everyone! I just watched 508 right now, and since Mandarin is one of my native languages, I can follow Chinese social media pretty effortlessly. So I’ve been low-key lurking in two very different Hacks fandom spaces, and the Chinese side has been so entertaining and surprisingly heartfelt that I thought some of you might get a kick out of it. A bit about how I even found the show: during the pandemic I was dealing with some pretty serious political despair — the kind that sits heavy — and one day I just typed the Chinese character for “despair” into a search bar. The first thing that came up was Hacks, which in Chinese we called 绝望写手 (literally “Desperate Writer”). Its Douban (China’s IMDb) rating was insanely high, so I figured it was a sign. I devoured the first two seasons in basically one day, and my only thought was: How could a comedy be this good? I need to at least stay alive until this show ends! Anyway. Here’s a bunch of random stuff I’ve picked up from the Mandarin-speaking side of the fandom, in no particular order. Some of it is just fun, some of it is surprisingly deep. Jean Smart’s Chinese nickname is Ms. 珍聪明, which roughly translates to “the precious and truly clever lady.” It’s a pun: “Jean” sounds like both 珍 (zhēn, meaning “treasure” or “precious”) and 真 (zhēn, meaning “real” or “true”), while 聪明 means “smart” or “clever.” So it’s basically “Precious Smart” and “Truly Smart” at the same time. Fans have been using it affectionately for a while now. I’m gonna be honest: I didn’t know who Jean Smart was before this show, nor Hannah, nor almost anyone in the cast. I’m Gen Z, and I’ve never really followed celebrity culture. I did know J. Smith-Cameron and Cherry, because Succession is pretty huge, but that’s all. Hacks felt like this perfect gateway drug for my generation to discover absolute legends. Avorah is definitely a thing, and one comparison I keep seeing is The Devil Wears Prada — Miranda and Andy. In my opinion, 506 is a masterpiece in every possible sense, and I don’t say that lightly. Ava’s critique of Silicon Valley / Wall Street-driven generative AI is real, and it’s only going to get more urgent. I personally don’t see the pace of that disruption slowing down, which is terrifying, but I’m glad the show didn’t pull its punches. Renee O'connor in Season 5 was a 100/10 surprise. Xena: Warrior Princess is one of my all-time favorite fantasy shows (I’m also an amateur Greek mythology and European history nerd), seeing her was genuinely emotional. I’m attaching a screenshot of a chat with my friend so you can get a glimpse of our beautifully unhinged mental state. (Translation in the comments if needed.) Ava gets called “小狗” (puppy) or “比格” (Beagle) a lot, because she apparently radiates Beagle energy. There’s this whole meme on Chinese social media called the “Beagle Victims Alliance” which is mostly self-deprecating humor about how Beagles will destroy your home, scream constantly, and need infinite exercise. Well... I don't have any pets, but I believe it. Deborah and Ava are frequently described as “对抗路情侣,” which I’d roughly translate as “solo-lane couple” or “rival-lane couple.” It comes from MOBA games. The 对抗路 is the solo lane where two fighters go head-to-head, trading blows directly with no filter. Their particular brand of dark mentorship fits that vibe so well that the nickname stuck. In mainland China, people can’t legally access HBO Max (because of TGW), so people survive on clips. Video bullet comments ("弹幕", Danmu, a kind of moving comment overlay) is a whole experience in itself — I can drop some screencaps from 507 if anyone’s curious. Jimmy is my favorite straight white male character I’ve ever seen on screen. Kayla and Jimmy’s friendship — the completely non-romantic, ride-or-die energy between them — gets a ton of love over there. Fans really appreciate seeing that kind of dynamic done well. Given that screenshots can hardly capture the full content of video bullet comments, I chose to screen-record some clips from 507. Before translating the Chinese bullet comments, I want to provide some FYI to make them easier for non-native Chinese speakers to understand. First, “哈” means laughter, basically “LOL” or “hhhhh.” Second, “啊” is an exclamation or scream. The more “啊” characters there are, the more excited the person is. Third, there is a Chinese meme that has become quite popular in the past two years: 绝望的直女 (desperate straight woman). Roughly speaking, it refers to straight women who have seen through men but still cannot bring themselves to like women. (physically attracted to men, psychologically attracted to women I guess?) A disclaimer in advance: I am not a sociologist or a linguist. Based on my current observations, this phrase is generally a form of self-mockery among straight women, but it is not without criticism. In real life, both my straight friends and my queer friends dislike this meme very much. My straight friends feel that the phrase seems to imply that all straight women are pitiful creatures controlled by hormones, whose lives have no meaning without men. My queer friends dislike it because they think it contains a kind of arrogant stupidity: heterosexual women have not experienced systemic oppression targeting their sexual orientation, so the “despair” they talk about feels more like performative, melodramatic self-pity. Besides, they also reject the idea of LGBT community becoming part of some straight cis men-and-women “play.” So please look at this meme dialectically. There are quite a few “desperate straight woman” comments in the "danmu" for 507, but I promise they are all meant as friendly teasing. Give me a kiss, baby. 这家也太漂亮了 = This house is insanely gorgeous. 妈呀这个房子真的梦中情房了 = OMG, this is literally my dream house. 这个窗景绝了 = That view from the window is insane. 身材是好哈哈哈哈哈哈 = She does have a great body though, hahaha. 这个莫妮卡看起来确实美味 = Monica does look delicious, not gonna lie. 这集怎么这么好笑哈哈哈哈 = Why is this episode so damn funny lol. 我的几世能住上这种房子 = How many lifetimes would it take me to live somewhere like this? 笑死我了 = I’m dead. 同人女圆梦时刻 = A fan’s dream come true.

They did dozens of takes hahaha. The director said she never breaks down.

She is my voice. 被撩的丢了魂了 = She got flirted with so hard her soul left her body. 我也想看 = I want to see it too. 竟然没有做啊啊啊啊，我还期待来着 = They actually didn’t do it AAAAA, I was kind of expecting it. 我也想看她俩... = I want to see the two of them too... 捉奸现场 = Caught in the act. 好会撩啊啊啊啊啊 = Monica is so good at flirting AAAAA. 我也很想看来着 = I really wanted to see it too. 上次期待的和球场那个姐姐没有继续 = Last time, I was hoping something would happen with that woman from the golf course, but it didn’t go anywhere. 我也想… = I want to see it too... 我也想看55555 = I want to see it too 55555. 太雷霆了 = That was so insane. 差一点点啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊啊 = So close AAAAAAAAAAAA. 不会是报复她吧hhhh = Is she getting revenge on her? hhhh 啊啊啊啊我不行了怎么会文出这样的问题 = AAAAA I can’t, how did she even come up with a question like that? 我笑得喷鼻涕泡 = I laughed so hard I snorted. 笑得想鼠 = I’m laughing so hard I want to die. 对抗路情侣开始了 = The enemies-to-lovers couple is at it again.

She still remembers! 吵成这样了deb还在说she is my voice...又磕到了 = Even when they’re fighting like this, Deb still says “she is my voice”... I’m shipping them all over again. she is my Vocie again 这句话比make out还gay好吗 = “She is my voice” again. This line is gayer than making out, okay? 哇啊啊啊啊果然很爱 = WAAAAA, she really does love her. 啊啊啊啊我的天啊对应之前的那句 = AAAAA oh my god, it calls back to that earlier line. 笑死疑似被家暴 = I’m dead, she looks like she’s being abused. 啊哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈哈！！！女铜情侣指导中 = Ahahahahahaha!!!

1.Remember way back in October when the Stewart fam bought a million dollar mansion? Remember how at Christmas they said they had no trips at all planned? Do you recall how 6 weeks ago Carlin said to get ready for wall to wall house content? Pepperidge Farm and this sub remember… but the Stew Crew dang sure does not. They have traveled non-stop, the new house is barely mentioned and their current home is just a stop over for laundry and repacking. Izzy, the doodle dog is MIA, perhaps sharing a kennel with the other missing family sidekick… Travis Clark. Carlin and Evan can’t hang out with the Clarks because it is bad for business, so instead they high tail it to Augusta to brown nose their way into the Southern Belle Blogger Bunch. When they touch down at Sophie and Tyler Watts’ corner of the world, it is easy to see where Carlin is getting her “Old South” aesthetic that has suddenly replaced her boho waif vibe. Anyway, surprise, surprise this group of numbnuts has scored tickets to the practice round of the Masters Golf tourney. If you don’t know, it’s a storied event that has deep roots in all the terrible things you think of when you think of Georgia. It’s also known for how exclusive it… was. Augusta National decided to let in influencers this year and now the pimento cheese and the fabled gnome are pedestrian at best. The 5 couples have to split their tickets so the guys go for their photo op and then trade out with the girls. None of this content goes viral and Carlin would much rather just turn the camera on her baby’s feet and let the views rack up. She is never without her camera these days, and everything is content. Layla isn’t pulling in the numbers she once did, even when they film her coated in lipgloss, throwing faces for the masses. Navy Kate is almost exclusively paying the bills at this point. Well, along with breastfeeding, which Carlin has turned into pure fetish content. They are slowly moving away from long form filming, and the vlogs that used to come weekly are now more like every ten days to 2 weeks. They know it’s more work for less pay and there’s more to examine… more chances for the mask to fall. Carlin turns 28 to much fan fair from everyone in her family that she doles out left over PR packages to, and they all make it back home just in time to pack for their next adventure that requires passports for the kids. First grade and Kindergarten sure look differently when you have 2 mortgages to pay… and being a baby in charge of car payments means you better not learn to crawl too soon. 2.If you predicted that Travis Clark would return from his 78 day social media exile on the same day that the Lord and Savior arose from the dead… then you obviously have…. 2 working brain cells. Good gracious these folks are predictable. After 2 months of random Travis body parts, he’s back and he is… shirtless. Dammit. Just when the management company seems to have gotten Lawson Bates to keep a shirt on, here comes Travis Clark, all loved up on Katie with his bare chest and big nips shining. Put that mess away, sir. Katie is on a permanent beach trip, staying in an AirBnB so she can exploit her children in new scenery that hasn’t been sullied by her husband and his mistress. What she didn’t expect was the home’s owner to show up in her comments and Doxx her while offering her a free stay. Who knows how long the Clarks will frolick on the beach before real life comes knocking. Is Travis in school in Orlando? Is he the new apprentice with Webster Heating & Air? Will they return to YouTube? Nobody knows. What we do know is that Katie continues her scorned momma glow up… she’s posing in bathing suits, giving crotch shots with fruit and wearing more eye makeup than RuPaul on the runway. The lawyer is long gone, and has apparently been replaced by a fundie therapist who shows up on Zoom to encourage Katie to smile even if it hurts and to be available whenever and however Travis wants. While these 2 fight their way out of their self created mess, Haley’s Disney Princess reels have a combined 60 million views. It’s obvious who is paying for this lifestyle. Haley sells the God app, shows up in her mom’s razor ads, sleep powder ads and models clothes for a Florida boutique. Katie drops some information about her miscarriage over a necklace link, and it’s clear she wants everyone to know the correct timeline. She says she miscarried in January and the baby was due in August… you do the math. They also take pictures at a new Florida church. I believe part of their running away is because of the church. Travis was in a leadership position at Clear Springs Baptist and that has to be shot all to hell now. If they have to move every time Travis gets angsty, the Clarks will have lived in all 50 states in the first ten years of this doomed pairing. 3.Josie Balka finally broke out of her beige 3 bedroom prison. Alas, it was only to head to a local park to set up for Kelton’s brother’s engagement. Yet another pair of half baked, too young fundies with hormones in over drive headed to an altar. Anyway, Josie filmed the whole thing and seemed giddy with excitement to be doing something besides stirring coffee, changing diapers and pretending to read her Bible. Too soon it was over and she had to head back up the gravel drive to that white painted brick hellscape to shill $50 wipes, Khloe Kardashian athletic wear and post everything with the word “slow” in front of it. She’s all about romanticizing “slow” mornings, “slow” evenings, “slow” breakfasts and “slowing” down. Speaking of slow…. Kelton Balka continues his march to male influencer. Now he’s jumped on to Josie’s fancy baby bottle partnership and he’s doing the voice over work. Supposedly this is so Josie can “sleep in”, but she’s up and going before he’s finished feeding the baby. Something else odd is happening in Balka world… Willow and Hazel seem to be mostly in skirts/dresses these days. At the park, on their bikes, going for walks… the girls are in dresses. It’s no coincidence that Erin always comments on Josie’s content. No matter how much she tries to make us believe that it was her idea to let go of the dolled up sex kitten look and get back to her freckled face basics…. I’m not buying it. Ole KTron and those wooly worms squatting on his forehead rule the roost. He has benched Josie in favor of his own center stage dreams. Alyssa Webster showed up to give us a March wrap up and can you believe that it looked exactly like the January and February recap? They celebrated 2 birthdays with a trip to the coffee shop, a grocery store cake at the kitchen table and those deranged dates with Lurch. There’s no mention of Katie, even though Katie has posted numerous times with Alyssa. Rhett is still wearing the sad hat. Truly a fundie debacle not discussed enough. Those hats toppled the Webster empire and when Alyssa realized no one was giving her money for a dumb hat and that she had been scammed by an online MLM… that’s when she took her leave from social media. Of course the Webster kids are all decked out in matching outfits for Easter. Alyssa forces them to all sit in the dirt under a tree and plaster on that fake smile so she can get her shots. It seems cruel that Allie is 11 and forced to wear the exact same get up that 5 year old Maci has on. Speaking of Allie, her birthday came and went and her mom chose to shout out a fellow cult friend instead of her oldest daughter. I’m sure we will see her awkward date with daddy in the April recap. Hopefully Allie gets her very own trip to the coffee shop. Ellie Bates, meanwhile, has been babysitting up a storm. She’s practically living with Zach and Whit and shows off Josie’s kids and Trace’s kids. The biggest shocker was her posing with Warden’s latest new girlfriend on Easter Sunday. The family is really going hard on promoting this new squeaky clean Warden image… even pretending to like this recent girlfriend. 5.Zach Bates took a “work trip” to California way back in January, and now is when his management company decided he should drop his content. Could it be that Whitney is near delivery? He doesn’t tell us what brand sent him to California, but he shows the management company, shouts them out as the best in the business and then proceeds to absolutely troll the hell out of Lawson by eating at every restaurant in a 4 mile radius of Tiffy’s home. I always knew Zach wanted to be the fundie Guy Fieri and this trip proves it. While he huffs and puffs from one restaurant to the next, Lawson is SCREAMING in his comments “hey, I know that place…. Hey, that’s around the corner from where we stay…. Hey, I should have been with you”. Lawson, you missed the boat. You could have been showcasing California landmarks instead of pretending to be a cowboy and taking pictures of yourself. In any case, back at home, Zach continues to drop reels of the same old food over and over… wanna watch him burn a hot dog? Make a roast? A steak? Chicken salad? There’s about 8 reels for each of the 5 things he knows how to make. Over in his Bates Kitchen, things haven’t changed. He’s still screwing up the recipe, leaving things out and forgetting steps while slinging food all over the kitchen, licking his fingers and talking with his mouth full. He and Whitney both exploit their kids every chance they get… like when they go to Costco where they happily show that they spent $860. Jadon and Lilly are the youngest/cutest/most easy to exploit so they show up the most. Whitney continues to push the same old tired links for powders, teeth whiteners and deodorant and no matter how much Zach wants to be the star…. Folks are tuning in for the kids and Whitney. In that order. 6.Trace and Lydia continue their march to mediocrity. I honestly don’t know what is going on with these 2 but something seems… off. Trace never seems to be around when Lydia is making content, and when he does pop in, he just says the same things over and over. Lydia is constantly at the gym. She sits in the car to tell us that while she was pregnant, Trace decided to start working out and getting fit. She points out that he did this exactly when she couldn’t….and that now that she is working out, he isn’t. That seems to be a running theme. They are on different pages. We don’t see any Easter content beyond pictures at Gil’s church in front of the flowered cross. Their weekly vlogs are just a few minutes long because all of the editing is Lydia’s job. Of course, this gives her an excuse to sit in random coffee shops during the week while Aunt Ellie plays with the kids. Maybe Trace is working a secret job somewhere… bag boy at the local Kroger, perhaps? They do update their followers with big news… they aren’t moving. Shocking, isn’t it? As interest rates soar and their content gets minimal views, they’ve made the decision to stay right where they are. Of course to hear them tell it, it’s because they love where they are and Lydia is scared of building. Interesting… she isn’t scared of one more set of stackable storage bins, is she? They don’t say that staying in their tiny house means no more kids because Trace knows Warden can come over and whip up a triple decker crib, no problem. The highlight of their latest vlog is Ryker’s styrofoam plane getting stuck on yet another roof and Trace yells at Lydia while she attempts to knock it down. They go on a bike ride where she schleps the picnic basket, blanket and the baby and he films them as she leaves him in the dust. Lydia is scratching around looking for reasons to brag on Trace and she decides on…. Making her coffee. Trace stumbles through the recipe for the amazing coffee he makes Lydia while admitting that it isn’t usually sweet enough and then she jumps in to give the exact recipe and steps. You know, for the coffee that TRACE makes. Mmmmhmmm. Lydia turns 28 and that gives them reason to film a fake surprise get away to luxurious, exclusive Myrtle Beach. While in Dirty Myrtle they make lots of couples content and one would hope this vacation doesn’t lead to Trace fulfilling that promise of giving KJ grandbaby number 41. 7.Erin and Chad Paine have whipped enough beef fat to afford a little vacation to Jekyll Island…or maybe it’s the love offerings that paid for the trip. In any case… they went somewhere, and Addee is with them. I guess they couldn’t hitch their wagons to Tori and Bobby’s vacay this year what with the new Smith kid making his debut. For Easter, Erin forced all of the kids to stand around her keyboard and maul a hymn. Even Callie had to join in, and you realize that she could be Erin’s daughter….actually, KJ would be just fine with that. Speaking of Kelly, she helps Erin do a little marketing by filming herself using Erin’s skincare in some hovel of a bathroom that must be the big house. All of the siblings are being forced to coat themselves in Erin’s grease so Chad doesn’t have to get a real job. Erin returns to YouTube to purr about her perfect life and give advice to all of us less thans. She tells us she never raises her voice, keeps the spark alive by looking into Chad’s eyes and holding his hand and says the secret to being perfect is to read your Bible. She recites her lines like a good little Gothardist and flounces off to pretend educate her children in the Florida sun. 8.Michael and Brandon celebrate Easter with the foster boys. She shows off their Easter outfits and they are the same thing being worn by 85 year old men. Fundies do love to dress a baby up like a little old man. It’s been a while since Michael has said the exact same thing over and over on social media, so while they are on a short road trip, she puts out a question and answer box so people can harass her about adoption, conception and her family. The only thing new - Michael mentions the birth parents of the foster children. She says they are “getting the help they need”. She is planning the baby’s first birthday party, and also plans to make more blankets for her shop. She says if adoption was an option, they would adopt…. But it obviously isn’t an option now because she twice mentions the birth parents who are obviously still in the picture. 9.Lawson and Tiffy have decided to milk a solid month of content out of this one bedroom condo they purchased in San Diego. They haven’t been to the place in almost 4 months and Tiffy calls it a “longer term rental” so how much time could they possibly spend there? Lawson prances around while Warden and JebJud do all of the work and Tiffy seems to think it’s a flex that her home was remodeled by a 22 year old and his 16 year old helper. God help the renters. In real time, they seem to be all alone for Easter in Nashville. Her parents aren’t around, we don’t see Callie and they don’t travel to the big house. They must be lost without their keepers. Tiffy films Will running around half dressed a lot and they have to cut a knot out of Teddy’s long hair. Guess he spends a lot of time flat on his back. Of course Lawson Ai’s himself into another background so he can wail and warble that same old hymn for an Easter post. Also… he’s back at the pregnancy baiting. Theodore is 4 months old. It’s enough already. 10.Bits and Bytes…Kelly Joe doesn’t mention Allie’s 11th birthday making it a clean sweep of all 5 of Alyssa’s kids getting nothing from Granny on IG… In other Kelly news, she appears to babysit for Josie. It’s unheard of for KJ to keep her grandkids without a sister there to do the heavy lifting, Kelton must have had to payoff a credit card or something… Alyssa attempts to get Disney’s attention by tagging them and asking for a free cruise on Katie’s post…Erin’s daughter Everly turns 8 and her personality is “likes animals”…Zade asks Carlin to DRAW his family’s names for him. Heavy subtitles are needed and the reel doesn’t come close to matching Navy’s views… Gil completed the roof on the big house and KJ complimented him by telling everyone how it was rotted, leaking and how badly needed it was. Have a great week friends! Summer days are back in my part of the world, 90 and sunshine all week! submitted by /u/dixcgirl10 to r/BatesSnark [link] [comments]

If you don’t know, it’s a storied event that has deep roots in all the terrible things you think of when you think of Georgia. It’s also known for how exclusive it… was. Augusta National decided to let in influencers this year and now the pimento cheese and the fabled gnome are pedestrian at best. The 5 couples have to split their tickets so the guys go for their photo op and then trade out with the girls. None of this content goes viral and Carlin would much rather just turn the camera on her baby’s feet and let the views rack up. She is never without her camera these days, and everything is content. Layla isn’t pulling in the numbers she once did, even when they film her coated in lipgloss, throwing faces for the masses. Navy Kate is almost exclusively paying the bills at this point. Well, along with breastfeeding, which Carlin has turned into pure fetish content. They are slowly moving away from long form filming, and the vlogs that used to come weekly are now more like every ten days to 2 weeks. They know it’s more work for less pay and there’s more to examine… more chances for the mask to fall. Carlin turns 28 to much fan fair from everyone in her family that she doles out left over PR packages to, and they all make it back home just in time to pack for their next adventure that requires passports for the kids. First grade and Kindergarten sure look differently when you have 2 mortgages to pay… and being a baby in charge of car payments means you better not learn to crawl too soon. 2.If you predicted that Travis Clark would return from his 78 day social media exile on the same day that the Lord and Savior arose from the dead… then you obviously have…. 2 working brain cells. Good gracious these folks are predictable. After 2 months of random Travis body parts, he’s back and he is… shirtless. Dammit. Just when the management company seems to have gotten Lawson Bates to keep a shirt on, here comes Travis Clark, all loved up on Katie with his bare chest and big nips shining. Put that mess away, sir. Katie is on a permanent beach trip, staying in an AirBnB so she can exploit her children in new scenery that hasn’t been sullied by her husband and his mistress. What she didn’t expect was the home’s owner to show up in her comments and Doxx her while offering her a free stay. Who knows how long the Clarks will frolick on the beach before real life comes knocking. Is Travis in school in Orlando? Is he the new apprentice with Webster Heating & Air? Will they return to YouTube? Nobody knows. What we do know is that Katie continues her scorned momma glow up… she’s posing in bathing suits, giving crotch shots with fruit and wearing more eye makeup than RuPaul on the runway. The lawyer is long gone, and has apparently been replaced by a fundie therapist who shows up on Zoom to encourage Katie to smile even if it hurts and to be available whenever and however Travis wants. While these 2 fight their way out of their self created mess, Haley’s Disney Princess reels have a combined 60 million views. It’s obvious who is paying for this lifestyle. Haley sells the God app, shows up in her mom’s razor ads, sleep powder ads and models clothes for a Florida boutique. Katie drops some information about her miscarriage over a necklace link, and it’s clear she wants everyone to know the correct timeline. She says she miscarried in January and the baby was due in August… you do the math. They also take pictures at a new Florida church. I believe part of their running away is because of the church. Travis was in a leadership position at Clear Springs Baptist and that has to be shot all to hell now. If they have to move every time Travis gets angsty, the Clarks will have lived in all 50 states in the first ten years of this doomed pairing. 3.Josie Balka finally broke out of her beige 3 bedroom prison. Alas, it was only to head to a local park to set up for Kelton’s brother’s engagement. Yet another pair of half baked, too young fundies with hormones in over drive headed to an altar. Anyway, Josie filmed the whole thing and seemed giddy with excitement to be doing something besides stirring coffee, changing diapers and pretending to read her Bible. Too soon it was over and she had to head back up the gravel drive to that white painted brick hellscape to shill $50 wipes, Khloe Kardashian athletic wear and post everything with the word “slow” in front of it. She’s all about romanticizing “slow” mornings, “slow” evenings, “slow” breakfasts and “slowing” down. Speaking of slow…. Kelton Balka continues his march to male influencer. Now he’s jumped on to Josie’s fancy baby bottle partnership and he’s doing the voice over work. Supposedly this is so Josie can “sleep in”, but she’s up and going before he’s finished feeding the baby. Something else odd is happening in Balka world… Willow and Hazel seem to be mostly in skirts/dresses these days. At the park, on their bikes, going for walks… the girls are in dresses. It’s no coincidence that Erin always comments on Josie’s content. No matter how much she tries to make us believe that it was her idea to let go of the dolled up sex kitten look and get back to her freckled face basics…. I’m not buying it. Ole KTron and those wooly worms squatting on his forehead rule the roost. He has benched Josie in favor of his own center stage dreams. Alyssa Webster showed up to give us a March wrap up and can you believe that it looked exactly like the January and February recap? They celebrated 2 birthdays with a trip to the coffee shop, a grocery store cake at the kitchen table and those deranged dates with Lurch. There’s no mention of Katie, even though Katie has posted numerous times with Alyssa. Rhett is still wearing the sad hat. Truly a fundie debacle not discussed enough. Those hats toppled the Webster empire and when Alyssa realized no one was giving her money for a dumb hat and that she had been scammed by an online MLM… that’s when she took her leave from social media. Of course the Webster kids are all decked out in matching outfits for Easter. Alyssa forces them to all sit in the dirt under a tree and plaster on that fake smile so she can get her shots. It seems cruel that Allie is 11 and forced to wear the exact same get up that 5 year old Maci has on. Speaking of Allie, her birthday came and went and her mom chose to shout out a fellow cult friend instead of her oldest daughter. I’m sure we will see her awkward date with daddy in the April recap. Hopefully Allie gets her very own trip to the coffee shop. Ellie Bates, meanwhile, has been babysitting up a storm. She’s practically living with Zach and Whit and shows off Josie’s kids and Trace’s kids. The biggest shocker was her posing with Warden’s latest new girlfriend on Easter Sunday. The family is really going hard on promoting this new squeaky clean Warden image… even pretending to like this recent girlfriend. 5.Zach Bates took a “work trip” to California way back in January, and now is when his management company decided he should drop his content. Could it be that Whitney is near delivery? He doesn’t tell us what brand sent him to California, but he shows the management company, shouts them out as the best in the business and then proceeds to absolutely troll the hell out of Lawson by eating at every restaurant in a 4 mile radius of Tiffy’s home. I always knew Zach wanted to be the fundie Guy Fieri and this trip proves it. While he huffs and puffs from one restaurant to the next, Lawson is SCREAMING in his comments “hey, I know that place…. Hey, that’s around the corner from where we stay…. Hey, I should have been with you”. Lawson, you missed the boat. You could have been showcasing California landmarks instead of pretending to be a cowboy and taking pictures of yourself. In any case, back at home, Zach continues to drop reels of the same old food over and over… wanna watch him burn a hot dog? Make a roast? A steak? Chicken salad? There’s about 8 reels for each of the 5 things he knows how to make. Over in his Bates Kitchen, things haven’t changed. He’s still screwing up the recipe, leaving things out and forgetting steps while slinging food all over the kitchen, licking his fingers and talking with his mouth full. He and Whitney both exploit their kids every chance they get… like when they go to Costco where they happily show that they spent $860. Jadon and Lilly are the youngest/cutest/most easy to exploit so they show up the most. Whitney continues to push the same old tired links for powders, teeth whiteners and deodorant and no matter how much Zach wants to be the star…. Folks are tuning in for the kids and Whitney. In that order. 6.Trace and Lydia continue their march to mediocrity. I honestly don’t know what is going on with these 2 but something seems… off. Trace never seems to be around when Lydia is making content, and when he does pop in, he just says the same things over and over. Lydia is constantly at the gym. She sits in the car to tell us that while she was pregnant, Trace decided to start working out and getting fit. She points out that he did this exactly when she couldn’t….and that now that she is working out, he isn’t. That seems to be a running theme. They are on different pages. We don’t see any Easter content beyond pictures at Gil’s church in front of the flowered cross. Their weekly vlogs are just a few minutes long because all of the editing is Lydia’s job. Of course, this gives her an excuse to sit in random coffee shops during the week while Aunt Ellie plays with the kids. Maybe Trace is working a secret job somewhere… bag boy at the local Kroger, perhaps? They do update their followers with big news… they aren’t moving. Shocking, isn’t it? As interest rates soar and their content gets minimal views, they’ve made the decision to stay right where they are. Of course to hear them tell it, it’s because they love where they are and Lydia is scared of building. Interesting… she isn’t scared of one more set of stackable storage bins, is she? They don’t say that staying in their tiny house means no more kids because Trace knows Warden can come over and whip up a triple decker crib, no problem. The highlight of their latest vlog is Ryker’s styrofoam plane getting stuck on yet another roof and Trace yells at Lydia while she attempts to knock it down. They go on a bike ride where she schleps the picnic basket, blanket and the baby and he films them as she leaves him in the dust. Lydia is scratching around looking for reasons to brag on Trace and she decides on…. Making her coffee. Trace stumbles through the recipe for the amazing coffee he makes Lydia while admitting that it isn’t usually sweet enough and then she jumps in to give the exact recipe and steps. You know, for the coffee that TRACE makes. Mmmmhmmm. Lydia turns 28 and that gives them reason to film a fake surprise get away to luxurious, exclusive Myrtle Beach. While in Dirty Myrtle they make lots of couples content and one would hope this vacation doesn’t lead to Trace fulfilling that promise of giving KJ grandbaby number 41. 7.Erin and Chad Paine have whipped enough beef fat to afford a little vacation to Jekyll Island…or maybe it’s the love offerings that paid for the trip. In any case… they went somewhere, and Addee is with them. I guess they couldn’t hitch their wagons to Tori and Bobby’s vacay this year what with the new Smith kid making his debut. For Easter, Erin forced all of the kids to stand around her keyboard and maul a hymn. Even Callie had to join in, and you realize that she could be Erin’s daughter….actually, KJ would be just fine with that. Speaking of Kelly, she helps Erin do a little marketing by filming herself using Erin’s skincare in some hovel of a bathroom that must be the big house. All of the siblings are being forced to coat themselves in Erin’s grease so Chad doesn’t have to get a real job. Erin returns to YouTube to purr about her perfect life and give advice to all of us less thans. She tells us she never raises her voice, keeps the spark alive by looking into Chad’s eyes and holding his hand and says the secret to being perfect is to read your Bible. She recites her lines like a good little Gothardist and flounces off to pretend educate her children in the Florida sun. 8.Michael and Brandon celebrate Easter with the foster boys. She shows off their Easter outfits and they are the same thing being worn by 85 year old men. Fundies do love to dress a baby up like a little old man. It’s been a while since Michael has said the exact same thing over and over on social media, so while they are on a short road trip, she puts out a question and answer box so people can harass her about adoption, conception and her family. The only thing new - Michael mentions the birth parents of the foster children. She says they are “getting the help they need”. She is planning the baby’s first birthday party, and also plans to make more blankets for her shop. She says if adoption was an option, they would adopt…. But it obviously isn’t an option now because she twice mentions the birth parents who are obviously still in the picture. 9.Lawson and Tiffy have decided to milk a solid month of content out of this one bedroom condo they purchased in San Diego. They haven’t been to the place in almost 4 months and Tiffy calls it a “longer term rental” so how much time could they possibly spend there? Lawson prances around while Warden and JebJud do all of the work and Tiffy seems to think it’s a flex that her home was remodeled by a 22 year old and his 16 year old helper. God help the renters. In real time, they seem to be all alone for Easter in Nashville. Her parents aren’t around, we don’t see Callie and they don’t travel to the big house. They must be lost without their keepers. Tiffy films Will running around half dressed a lot and they have to cut a knot out of Teddy’s long hair. Guess he spends a lot of time flat on his back. Of course Lawson Ai’s himself into another background so he can wail and warble that same old hymn for an Easter post. Also… he’s back at the pregnancy baiting. Theodore is 4 months old. It’s enough already. 10.Bits and Bytes…Kelly Joe doesn’t mention Allie’s 11th birthday making it a clean sweep of all 5 of Alyssa’s kids getting nothing from Granny on IG… In other Kelly news, she appears to babysit for Josie. It’s unheard of for KJ to keep her grandkids without a sister there to do the heavy lifting, Kelton must have had to payoff a credit card or something… Alyssa attempts to get Disney’s attention by tagging them and asking for a free cruise on Katie’s post…Erin’s daughter Everly turns 8 and her personality is “likes animals”…Zade asks Carlin to DRAW his family’s names for him. Heavy subtitles are needed and the reel doesn’t come close to matching Navy’s views… Gil completed the roof on the big house and KJ complimented him by telling everyone how it was rotted, leaking and how badly needed it was. Have a great week friends! Summer days are back in my part of the world, 90 and sunshine all week! submitted by /u/dixcgirl10 to r/BringingUpBates [link] [comments]

1.The Stewart family and their new management team have become laser focused on the content that brings in the views and sadly… that ain’t Zade Patrick. Zade’s content can barely crack a million views, while the breadwinner Layla tops 1 million views just for walking past the camera. Evan’s tricks now include editing Zade out, taking him out of the house so Carlin can exploit Layla without him screaming and mumbling in the background, and most notably… featuring 6 week old Navy Kate as much as possible. Layla now gets to match outfits with baby sister, haul sister around, and surprise, surprise… her new sistermomming suite is finally finished and ready for all of the new content to come. Don’t worry about Zade screaming “WHAT ABOUT ME” in the background… Evan will just subtitle his caterwauling so when anyone reads it they will think he is saying….“My dear sisters, whom I adore, how cute you are. Dearest mother, you are the only mother to have ever mothered and I worship at your feet daily”. Speaking of the new “girls room”…. What in the 18th century Thomas Jefferson’s drawing room is going on here? The workhorse of this family had to give up her double bed for a twin and any hope of the slightest bit of her personality shining through was wallpapered over by Uncle Warden. Carlin obviously overdosed on Pinterest and this travesty is what we are left with. It’s all for show because Layla isn’t sleeping in there… and neither will the baby. Meanwhile, Zade shouldn’t expect an upgrade from his convertible crib and fake olive tree until he can bring in a million views and land a brand partnership. Thems the breaks, kid. It’s been a constant hunt for content for the family, and they dropped about 4 vlogs in two weeks, including one where they “talk” to their “Crew”. They said they had no travel plans coming up and then rambled on about how wonderful, perfect and great they are. They talk about Zade struggling to potty train and Carlin spews some dangerous rhetoric about how shifting her perspective helped cure her “baby blues”. Evan once again points out that Navy Kate is NOT named after Carlin’s sister KATIE, but is actually named after Mary Kate Olsen. That is so odd to me… like this guy has always been obsessed with exploited children. Has he checked in with ole Mary Kate lately?? They ended it by laughing like maniacs in response to a question about what they plan to do for work now that the Boutique is closing. It was disturbing to know they were laughing so hard because they both know their answer is “EXPLOIT THE HECK OUT OF THESE CHILDREN”. They continue to take walks with both children strapped fully in a double stroller, continue to show tons of Evan editing…even helping out other family members… and spend lots of time with people who are NOT Travis and Katie OR Josie and Kelton. In fact, they introduced their audience to Trace and Lydia. Obviously Travis being in nursing school is cramping the Stewarts style so they needed another couple with absolutely nothing to do all day. Carlin is busy selling/linking everything she touches and she has started showing glimpses of what they call “homeschool” with Layla. It’s mostly Layla wallowing on a bed, the side of a recliner or twisting around on a kitchen chair in front of a DVD player with headphones on. Zade spends this time on the couch glued to Mickey Mouse so his education begins and ends with Disney Jr. The other new grift is Evan as dream husband material…. He changes diapers, plays with his kids and draws baths for his wife… all on camera for the masses to see and fawn over. They do get more push back in their comments these days than they ever have before and lots of folks point out that this man is in that house 24/7 with absolutely nothing else to do. There are droves and droves of men who do all of that, plus go outside the home to work every day, but Carlin wouldn’t know that and the bar remains in hell with these people. Carlin won’t mention the Boutique, but she does have some new clothing partnerships and she smirks at the camera while letting everyone know that she’s in a size SMOL. She gets cleared by the doctor at her 6 week checkup and that’s just in time for a brand new partnership with an exercise app… I wonder what the drillmaster at the Jesus Gym thinks about that? All in all the Stewarts are just so over the top, so fake, so disingenuous that it is hard to follow along. They obviously film all day, every day and when they put the camera down it’s just so they can stare at the computer to edit. It must be an exhausting existence and it has to cause discourse with people in their lives who don’t want every fart recorded. It also has to cause friction in their family relationships and it’s definitely causing developmental delays in their children. Yes, they are rich. They are swimming in new money… but at what cost? And what’s next? How do you keep this up and keep leveling up to keep fickle viewers? 2.Katie and Travis Clark are also stuck in Knoxville and are also pumping out extra vlogs at random times. It seems to be because they have SO many partnerships and sponsorships that they can’t fit them all in so they give you a 20 minute vlog featuring 3 partnerships and try to disguise it as a day in the life of their family. Katie has quickly gotten over her shyness and now allows Travis to train the camera on her the second she opens her eyes and rolls out of bed. He follows her into the bathroom, and probably films her on the toilet, but thankfully just shows her brushing her teeth. Why is this special? Why does anyone care? This family lives in a McMansion and has spent tens of thousands of dollars decorating their children’s rooms but guess where the kids are? … in mom and dad’s bed just like more than half of the rest of the world. Anyway, Travis is still in his super hard, very intense nursing school so Katie is left to sell at home alone. She sells high chairs and kid’s shoes and skin care and makeup and food and frozen meals and sheets and pillowcases and oils, powders, vitamins and supplements. Wonder what her 2 small children are doing while she is handling all of that? Whenever they pan around their home you can see tripods everywhere. It’s truly sad. She does make it to the zoo with Auntie Michael and everyone’s newest favorite person… Lydia Bates. Pretty interesting that the Stewarts film with Trace and Lydia and the Clarks film with Trace and Lydia but the Stewarts and the Clarks aren’t filming together. Travis’ mom and sister come to town and Katie has to awkwardly navigate those relationships while also trying to exploit every second they are together. Travis and Katie sit down to talk and tell their followers that he’s a huge Dave Ramsey fan, they are probably going to stop their long form youtube vlogs at some point but will never, ever stop what they call “short form” filming (exploitation) and, by the way, they are selling their New Jersey home. They aren’t ever going back there, but if they were to move… it would be in to a much bigger, fancier home than the one they started out in. That’s just how much money they are making… they can sell the rental and never feel the loss of the rental income. Travis says they are looking into hiring a content editor to edit for them so he can more efficiently exploit his kids/use his time. Katie brags that school hasn’t stopped them from doing anything they have wanted to do… and to back that up they head out to a pumpkin patch, Pigeon Forge and Skyland Ranch. Katie shares links for their thousand dollar entertainment center, $3000 couch and then immediately shows Travis leading youth worship at the new cult church. Please don’t forget that he is not giving up on his music folks… he can and will do it all. He gives all the glory to God and none to the real one who needs to be exalted… Hailey James Clark. 3.Somehow Josie Bates went from 4 months pregnant to full term, 9 months pregnant in a blink. She seems to be very close to giving birth even though she said she was due “around the holidays”. Maybe she meant Halloween. Anyway, she’s still landing big makeup partnerships like the most recent one that is (of course) her most favorite brand ever, ever and will cost you just $180 for one set. To remain relatable she shares stories about KTron taking her to her very first concert ever, and then films a Costco haul featuring at least $1,000 worth of groceries, all 3 kids and… that silly putty faced husband of hers. Why does she insist on pushing him on her audience? The chick who owns the 4 car garage where Josie does her Calisthenics for Christ sends her a box full of homemade no bake cookies. She says she was craving them, but this seems like some devious doings to make sure she doesn’t try to escape that Car port full of torture equipment. Willow is continuing on with her sistermom training which includes a new skill of crocheting. She is able to hook the yarn while babysitting Miles who is piled next to her, steady sucking his thumb. He still is very much a baby, even though a new baby is on the way. Josie scores a huge partnership with a popular hair care company that has even been a plot point on a Real Housewives franchise. It has to be paying her the big bucks, but it’s still not enough for her to give up that dang pool noodle. In fact, she doubles down and puts it on sale at 35% off and makes a big deal about how that’s the lowest price ever. Wouldn’t you think that every person that wants one of these HAS one of these by now? They are also back pushing that God cartoon app and we see the family make popcorn together before settling in to watch this AI crap that they want you to subscribe to as well. She films at the pumpkin patch and shows the kids getting dressed for Sunday morning. Kelton shows up to zip her dress and feel her up and gross you out. Batten down the hatches because the Balka birth content is on deck and it’s bound to make you cringe. 4.Ahhh, it’s time to check in with the grief stricken, sorrowful, bereft widow of Charlie…. Wait, wait, wait…that’s only in Alyssa Webster’s mind. Yes, the 6th child of Gil and Kelly Jo Bates continues to be deep in mourning for her latest fixation, the podcaster Charlie Kirk. She’s back on Instagram for a photo shoot showing off her new Turning Point USA T-shirt. She pairs this $10 white shirt with the one pair of ripped knee jeans she owns and her fried and bleached hair. She forces one of the girls to take her picture while she gives the camera her smuggest, cocked eyebrow glare. Of course Prince Rhett is allowed to be in one picture and he is wearing his usual expressionless face and the Sad Hat that will not die. Don’t y’all know those hats are pouring out of every cupboard and cranny in that house? Anyway, she stays off of social media until Halloween when she’s back to explain to all of the sinners how her pious family celebrates the holiday. To meet the approval of Granddaddy Taliban Dan, they hand out tracts to all of their neighbors in exchange for candy. But, according to Alyssa they are “fun” tracts that feature cute designs and look like money. Isn’t that absolutely adorable? Because she is no longer vlogging, their Halloween costumes are a hot mess this year. She’s not spending any money on her girl children, and despite her best efforts to make Rhett have a personality, the kid still appears miserable in every shot. Zoey pulls the short straw and has to be a “baseball player” wearing that dadgum jersey from Rhett’s first birthday for the 600th time. There’s a special place waiting for a mother who dresses her kid up in a costume for a sport she would never be allowed to play. But the egregiousness doesn’t stop there…Maci is in some Dollar General Paw Patrol get up and she looks frozen with terror in her picture. Rhett is also wearing what appears to be a plastic Paw Patrol costume and… I am not making this up… that dang SAD HAT. She’s trolling us. Gotta be. He is almost 3 and still sucking on a baby food pouch. Allie had to come up with her costume on her own. She’s in a dress and calls herself “Congresswoman”… girl is carrying a $3500 Prada purse. Did she borrow that from Grandma, or is it mom’s? If that purse is real, and belongs to Alyssa, we should never hear anyone say they aren’t well off again. By the time it came to Lexi’s outfit… everyone had just given up. She’s wearing a sad brown dress with sadder brown boots and a squished up felt hat and they label her “cowgirl”. Rhett is screaming crying in every picture just about. What is going on with that poor child? She also shares pictures from the co-ops trunk or treat. They wear their Mario costumes again and decorate the SUV like Mario World. It looks like the girls cut and glued construction paper for 8 weeks, but they win first place. Lurch made a surprise appearance in his Donkey Kong get up and… that’s why I haven’t slept in 3 nights. 5.Zach and Whitney Bates are hard at work trying to make everyone believe that he has a traditional job as a Real Estate Agent and that they don’t exploit their kids and sell any and everything including the gum stuck to the bottom of their shoe… but I know better. If he were really working a traditional job, how is he constantly golfing, taking editing lessons from Evan, and front and center for every partnership they earn? Whitney’s latest is CVS and it was a big enough deal to pull her up from her sick bed where she has been camped out in the throes of what she calls the worst morning sickness she has ever experienced. This is baby #6 so she is really stretching to find anything NEW and apparently, the sickness is it. They spend 2 days riding around to CVS picking up generic household items that cost 3x as much in CVS as anywhere else. Funny enough, none of the things she so desperately needed are things she slings links for and begs you to buy. Don’t pay any attention to that. Lilly and Jadon are being exploited at levels that the older kids never experienced and speaking of the older kids… they are put to work in the kitchen helping dad create content for his “cooking” channel and featured sister and brothermomming their little siblings. This is all relatively new for these Bates kids, but they are learning to live with a camera in their face constantly. I guess their new management company has advised him to make new reels with the same recipes he started out with because he is steady cooking the same things over and over… potato soup, chili, grilled chicken and steak, steak strips, steak bites, steak sandwiches, steak and eggs… like, damn Bubba Gump, give it a rest. They both share pictures from a new family photo shoot and Zach captions his saying that God has been good through all of the changes in their lives. What hasn’t changed is those dang acid washed, low rider jeans from 2006, right Zach?? He’s using exclamation points and stretching out his words by adding letters to the end and using other influencer speak like calling everything “little”…. Just watching this grown mid 30’s man morph into a girlie pop influencer has brought me so many giggles. 6.You know what is missing in your life? Watching one young mother of 2 pickup toys, vacuum and brew coffee in a 12x12 box 67 times in one week. You can get what you’ve been craving from Lydia Bates. Every day, sometimes twice a day, she welcomes the world into her tiny little duplex where she does the exact same things over… and over… and over. Lawd bless her. Her husband is a professional shirker and finds new ways constantly to ditch his wife and kids so he can go play. When he does show up, it’s just for the fun stuff like trips to the pumpkin patch, or leaf viewing or bike rides. Beyond that… it is all on Lydia. Luckily she does seem to have the support of her family. The Romeikes tolerate Trace and manage not to laugh right in his face when he does show up at their house with his big azz camera and try to exploit them. I firmly believe that when Lydia’s mother speaks in German to Ryker she is saying “Dear grandson I am so sorry that this buffoon is your father”. Ryker is at prime exploitation age and gives them the most exciting content …which is him running all over trying to get away from their camera and zooming his cars on the ground. Baby Kaia is a smiley baby who doesn’t yet have a clue what she was born in to. Trace hauled butt on the first thing smoking to Jamaica to work with Medic Corps as they attempt to grift money from folks in the name of a natural disaster. Now Trace has mentioned before that he does not get paid for this work… but he also doesn’t get paid to golf, play pickleball or volunteer as a constable in his little hometown. He obviously gets paid handsomely to try and read scripts for random items like electrolyte powders, portable batteries and humidifiers. These companies keep partnering with them, and so we keep getting the gift of his stilted recitation of whatever AI generated script they send along. In Trace’s reading “vezebuls” are good for us (vegetables) and more information is always available in the “scripshun”. The little house is bursting at the seams with gifted products and its wild to see the things they previously shilled piled up in the corners of the house as they attempt to film around it all. She needs to have a yard sale…. And possibly a divorce. 7.Michael and Brandon Keilen started the year with big plans for their social media journey. The arrival of the 2 foster children have definitely slowed that dream down. They are super limited in what they can post because there are so many rules for foster children. I bet that makes for some interesting family conversations. Michael shares a link for her favorite skincare along with a Bible verse and more pictures of rainbows. Every time she posts a picture of a rainbow, I wonder if something bad has happened. The woman posts a LOT of rainbows. The last vlog they posted garners over 120,000 views and in a twist, the video was “hyped” by 150 fans. Youtube has rolled out this new “hype” feature and who would have ever thought the Keilens and HYPE would be used in the same sentence? 8.Erin Pain is as good as new. She’s back to her old self… exploiting her children, selling beef fat and God cards and extolling the wonders of her amazing Cheeee-ad. She highlights fresh flowers that superfan Tikky sent to her, and a blanket that a follower mysteriously sent. Erin doesn’t seem a bit concerned that someone was able to so easily find her address and send her a package. Grifting doesn’t allow for safety concerns. Little Willie turns 2 and yes, that’s what they all seem to call him. The snark writes itself. The entire family takes a trip to the zoo with some of their cult friends to celebrate his birthday and Carles is hard at work trying to shepherd all of his siblings while his parents make out for the camera. Erin happily reposts everything that Lawson shares about Medic Corps so you know he is her current favorite sibling. Part 1 of what was supposed to be her birth story has been up for weeks and weeks and still no part 2 has dropped. Explain to me again how these people are surviving…? 9.If you ever doubted that Lawson Bates thinks he is a star… please direct your attention to his latest vlog that clocks in at ONE HOUR AND 30 MINUTES long. I kid you not… dude dropped an hour and a half vlog that features him shaking a camera all over North and South Dakota while running, jumping, doing back flips, hanging off the side of cliffs, and saying the same things over and over. Now I did not watch this mess in full because I am not in to self-torture, but about 75 minutes of it could have been cut out and it would have been just fine. The little old ladies who love Lawson and hang out waiting on him to take his shirt off filled up his comments with worry about little Will (no IE). I have no idea when this trip was, but Will turned 1 in July and on this trip they are still holding him down and shoving a bottle in his mouth and he is barely eating solid foods. Lawson also spends an uncomfortable amount of time talking about Will’s dirty diapers. Tiffy follows along behind Lawson and waits to be allowed to do anything at all with her child. Gil, Kelly, JebJud and Callie all join them on this trip and we get to watch Gil walk around filming everything with his iphone… as if his 9 vlogging children are going to miss something. This is where they all learned it from. The OG exploiter himself. In real time Lawson jets off to Jamaica leaving Tiffany to be cared for by Callie and Addee until her parents can get to her from California. Wonder what would happen to Tiffypics if she was left on her own for more than 30 minutes? Lawson spends the week patting himself on the back and attacking folks in the comments who dare question his hero role. I swear this man is living off of the donations this fake rescue organization brings in every time a natural disaster happens. The only good thing about Lawson being in Jamaica is that he has to keep a shirt on while working for Medic Corps. 10.Bits and Bytes… The BSB maxed out their Going Out of Business Sale at 40% off. Things that were $75 are still woefully overpriced. Any guesses on where the inventory will go? Jamaica? A Knoxville Charity? Facebook Marketplace?...Kelly Jo turned 59 and most of her kids acknowledged her. There was no fancy trip for her this year though…. Meanwhile she celebrated Willie and Bradley’s birthdays. Bradley is 11 now. Almost old enough to start cutting down trees…John allowed Alyssa to stay up late enough to see the Dodgers win the World Series, and he even allowed her to post a shot of their big screen TV at the end of the game. Girl’s content is on fire…Tiffany posts more about her adoption, hoping to bring in a ton of views and some coins while Lawson is out of town…. Kelly and Gil have had 40 grandchildren in 11 years. That has to be some sort of record. Have a great week friends. I hope both sides of your pillow remain cool. submitted by /u/dixcgirl10 to r/BringingUpBates [link] [comments]

1.After enduring a rough week where fans and followers turned on the Stew Crew for showing little to no sympathy for her ailing sister, this week the Stewarts regrouped in more ways than one, flipped the narrative and introduced their latest commodity. The grifting strategy started with Zade’s first soccer game. The family heads to the pitch with both parents filming and Zade visibly unhappy with the entire situation. Carlin is ready to pop but still manages to link everything from soccer Saturday, so it was still counted as a success. They drop a vlog early in the week showing us old footage from events that happened weeks ago, including the Cash & Carry Sale at BSB. Zade has to work in this vlog selling frozen kids meals. Evan is able to bribe him to take one bite of the food and he pretends to chew. At the boutique, ole thumb head lets Zade fall off of a stool and grins while telling the camera that he was trying to get video of the kids coloring when Zade slipped. Yea, Evan we know… you’re parenting through a lens. Over and over again in this vlog, Evan talks about working… he’s been working so hard, doing so much work, trying to get caught up on work, working to get ahead so they can enjoy time off when the baby comes, work work work. “Work” is code for “exploit”… Evan is telling us that he is spending endless hours editing footage of his 2 existing kids so he can exploit them while they are busy having the newest kid. Warden shows up to start converting Layla’s room into her new sistermom quarters. The family goes for a walk with their 3.5 year old and 5.5 year old strapped into a stroller. He takes Zade to buy all of his soccer gear, including a ball, the night before his first practice and the kid spends a few minutes kicking it around in the hall by himself while dear old dad films him. To quell the masses, Carlin sits in the car with Evan and he films himself talking about “her sister who had complications”. The camera never pans to Carlin, they never say Erin’s name, and it’s less than 30 seconds meant to shut down any haters. Finally, Carlin posts from the hospital with a photo shoot perfectly filtered, lit and calling Evan her rock. He also calls her an unmovable rock. So many rock references… so many rock jokes… In real time the Stewarts are already at home with their new baby, but in social media world, the birth content begins rolling out on Wednesday morning, a full 4 days after the child was born. Evan stars in a reel featuring Wicked music with Carlin and Katie, Whitney and Josie as bit players. They announce that the next tiny HSN host has finally arrived and it’s a… GIRL. Evan is sure to subtitle his comment pointing out that Carlin went “all natural”. Personally, I thought it was a girl after seeing that Lawson commented calling the baby “an angel”… this crowd would never refer to a boy as an angel. If you hang out here, you already knew it was a girl named Navy, thanks to a friend of a friend. The Stewarts went hard for 9 months saying they didn’t know the gender and wanted it to be a surprise. Did you believe them? Carlin’s pregnancy announcement featured the song by Hasani titled “Navy Blue”… she wore tons of blue during her entire pregnancy…they immediately decided that the baby would share a room with Layla…in her last manicure before giving birth she paints her nails pink…Coincidence? You decide. There is tons of content rolling out on all social media platforms. Not one second of this momentous occasion was missed. Evan is filmed holding his baby for the first time, front and center while Carlin is shoved in the background… her work is now done. Evan can’t wait for all of the daddy/daughter videos to come where he gets to play Prince Charming. They are building a narrative that this goofball is the most caring, loving, devoted husband and they do this by featuring him preparing Carlin’s post birth pads, lots of slow motion close ups of him attempting to squeeze out tears and him reciting his lines about how strong she is, how in awe of her he is, how she is the most amazing human ever. Kelly Joe shows up to hoot and holler and preen for the cameras about how surprised she is that it is a girl…but she is alone. We see no Gil and no Nini and Poppa. Almost one week after having the baby, they drop the birth vlog. It’s always harder to hide the truth in these long form videos and it all starts with Carlin basically pushing Evan out of the way so she can hang out with Katie while she labors at home. Whitney comes over also and they continuously refer to all of this as a “party” and say how “fun” it is. These women are positively giddy. They are addicted to birth and the birthing process. They pass the time before birth by watching their old vlogs of birthing Layla and of Layla as a baby. Sorry Zade… get used to this little buddy. Aunt Ellie shows up to keep the kids and Carlin says she is so happy to have her SISTER Whitney and Katie with her. They call Josie to join the party and she shows up with her camera. Josie gets right to work fluffing hair and clicking her camera like she’s a paid paparazzi. She also takes over Evan’s job of massaging Carlin and obviously does a bang up job because Evan is never on duty again. Carlin does decide to go natural and she manages to get through it all without beating the snot out of the thumb. He mostly stands to the side and cheers her on while rubbing his eyes hoping to squeeze out one tear. They both do tons of crying in this video but not one Kleenex is ever needed. Evan’s vlog caption says this is the beginning of a new chapter for the family and it definitely is. They have signed on with the same management team that manages Katie. That should free up Evan, giving him more time for golf while the professionals decide how to best exploit their kids. Carlin drops a reel of Layla and Zade at the hospital the same day she delivered. They are dressed in all white and hit all of their marks perfectly. Layla has been trained like a good little fundie and says she will take care of the baby who will sleep in her room. Zade mostly just rolls around on the bed and smiles when they tell him to. It seems the management company is already hard at work when a comment from Carlin pops up on sister Erin’s coming home from the hospital post. It’s pretty generic and just says “Glad you’re home”… but it’s there. That counts for something, right?? Anyway, all in all at the end of the day… they are now a family of 5. What’s next? 2.Katie Clark had a busy week trying to navigate one sister’s birth with another sister’s health crisis while still working her trajectory of TradWife Queen holding it down. She had to take both kids to gymnastics, film Harvey riding Hailey’s bike and throw a chunk of beef in a crockpot. Momma is tired. She pulled it together enough for a trip to Dollywood so they could get some content of Hailey eating a huge pickle while promoting Harvey as suddenly “grown”. Hailey is still being forced to sell those black gummy vitamins. This week she decides the best way to get it over with is to pack them all in her mouth at once. Katie cuts the film just as she starts to spit them all back out. She promotes a big surprise she is planning for Travis because he’s busy taking finals. Of course there has to be a surprise. Katie says Travis is staying up all night studying and spending long hours in the library. Dude must be really struggling after a lifetime of being educated in his parent’s pretend church school. Maybe they didn’t announce he was in nursing school for so long because up until now he was in remedial classes to undo everything he previously learned. Anyway, the surprise turns out to be some door dashed cinnamon rolls and balloons, along with an Amazon order of all of the things he was going to have to buy for his clinical rotations. Big whoop. When the news of political commentator Charlie Kirk hits, both Katie and Travis start promoting his music as a way to “cope”. Uhhuh. In the weekly vlog, we get more from the Dollywood trip where they went just 2 hours before closing time. Obviously they went to film their kids when the park wouldn’t be so crowded and that’s just what they do. Harvey also gets his first haircut. Katie risks being ostracized by not taking him to the fundie approved barber, but luckily she found a place that can still shave his head like all of the other independent fundamentalists so he should be OK. She goes on and on throughout the entire vlog about how everything he does is SO BOY. He is just ALL BOY y’all and that is very important. Before filming her big surprise for Travis, Katie gives a performative speech about how she wasn’t sure if she would film… the tripod is in the background filming her say this and then Travis comes in and films at the same time. Travis hides out in the bedroom to film himself prostrate with grief over Charlie Kirk’s death. He says he wants to live a more emboldened life and that all of this has made him rethink his priorities. He immediately follows that up with an apology to viewers for not exploiting his kids enough this vlog. He says next week’s vlog is one of his favorites ever and features something he has wanted to do for a long time. He is sure to add that it isn’t a pregnancy announcement… this time. 3.Josie Balka is back from yet another extended social media break, and it appears she wasn’t gone so they can move. It’s been over a year since they bought that piece of land… Anyway, she drops a ton of pictures for September that are just of her kids at the playground and her making sourdough baked goods. As the world burns all around her, Josie sidesteps all of it and instead… wants you to buy a pool noodle! Of course she does. She’s going to give you a free silk bonnet if you do. She also shares a reel of baby Miles getting his first haircut. Just like dad and all of the other fundie men in his life, he heads to the cult barber for the proud boy special… they shave it off, grease it up and give you a lollipop to make it all better. The Balkas head out of town to Sky Top Orchard for their annual apple picking exploitation. The girls and baby Miles are all in matching outfits and they model for the camera while Josie flings her hair around and shows off her majestic bump. They drive 2.5 hours to do all of this because supposedly this is where Kelton grew up picking apples. Josie shows up in Carlin’s birth vlog with a vengeance. She enters the room and takes over, barking orders, filming and taking pictures at the same time, setting up the shots and helping her sister meet her natural birth goal. Evan seems to shrink in her presence and I sort of believe her when she says in another life she would have been a midwife. 4.After last week’s hot mess of a failed attempt to organize a gift drive for sister Erin, this week Alyssa Webster almost stayed quiet. Then Charlie Kirk was murdered and girlfriend had to let the world know that she had been in the same room with Kirk very recently. Another reminder of just how MAGA she is came when Alyssa says she had been sobbing, wailing, crying while constantly praying and just beside herself with grief over his death. That must have been concerning for the 5 little children she is in charge of. She reposts so many Charlie Kirk posts… more than anything she posted when her beloved Papa Bill passed away, and certainly more than she has ever shared for the thousands of children dealing with gun violence in school. We do see that she made her way to the hospital to cuddle Erin’s new baby, and we also see a clip of the Paine kids swimming at Alyssa’s house so it’s good to know she at least still likes Erin. The date of her visit to the hospital was 8/31 and it looks as though Tori and Gil were there at the same time. Maybe Tori was a good buffer between Gil and Alyssa. 5.Whitney, Zach and all of the kids made their way to Wal-Mart this week to exploit Jadon as he picked out a new bicycle. Supposedly he had collected loose change to fund the purchase, but it’s all just an ad for the big box store, so the change is nothing more than a prop. This was one of the only times Jadon has starred in an ad and it wasn’t easy to understand him… perhaps Evan can teach Zach how to subtitle their future ads. Zach drops his 97th reel of cooking a steak and mashed potatoes. Talk about a one trick pony. Meanwhile, Whitney and her bad extensions are busy promoting an at home workout app. Whit filming herself working out to a low rent jazzercise video and following it up selling protein shakes is just peek cringe influencer behavior. After selling the protein powder, she’s back to sell the colostrum again talking about those poor baby cows. If you squeeze this chick smoke must come out from the sheer amount of powder she is ingesting on a daily basis. Kelly Joe is back in the Bates Kitchen again to try and help her son make a go of this thing. They are making chicken pot pie but nobody eats vegetables and they are scared to death of seasoning and they start by straight up boiling chicken in plain tap water. Kelly makes a big deal over real bacon and how much she loves it, even though on the show… a pork product never crossed their lips. She brags over and over about Isaiah who has apparently become an expert cook. Kelly compliments Isaiah more than Zach, but who can blame her. Dude burns the bacon, overcooks the potatoes and drowns the whole thing in 4 pounds of cheese. Kelly doesn’t share many updates, but she does say Carlin’s baby is one of the most beautiful in the world. She’s dropping one of these pies at Carlin’s house before heading back to Florida. I’m sure Evan will intercept that mess and toss it while Carlin gets a delivery from Chick-Fil-A. In Carlin’s birth vlog, Whitney is propped up in the bed with her dirty shoes on. No home raising. Of course Zach is there as quickly as possible to get his picture made with the new star of the show. I don’t know how many more blooper reels we will get from Zach’s kitchen because he and Whitney have signed with the same management company as the rest of his siblings. Those folks will have their hands full with him. 6.Lydia Bates is selling a single makeup brush if you are interested. It’s Ryker’s birthday week and that must mean Summer is over. Lydia posts a reel of all of the things they just did and says she misses it already. Girl… it just happened. We get a reel of the last night before Ryker turns 2. Trace shows up to read him a book… or maybe Ryker is reading to Trace, who knows. His second birthday theme is golf because golf is Trace’s current personality. Before decorating everything green and white, which must have pained her… the family goes on a walk. Trace leads the way wearing his camera strapped to his body and Lydia brings up the rear, filming everything on her iphone. They are like the Stew Crew junior addition. The weekly vlog is sponsored by a powdered drink company. Trace says it helps replace his ELECTRIC LIGHTS and I am dead. On the floor. He says it 2 times so it’s definitely not an accident. They sit on the couch and talk a little about their birthday traditions. Lydia had a large family in Germany and birthdays were a huge, fun deal. Trace says growing up each kid had a $100 limit. Then he corrects himself and says it started as a $50 limit, then went to $100 and then BACK to $50. Basically life before the show, during the show… and after the show. While Lydia is talking, Trace is yawning and his eyes are glazed over. He says it’s time to stop filming before he falls asleep. Ryker’s birthday brings lots of gifts including golf clubs from Trace. This doofus is the SECOND fundie man to buy his kid the wrong clubs. Just like his hero Evan, Trace also buys left handed clubs for his right handed kid. Kelly Joe shows up with toys in the store bag for Ryker. She’s just a busy bee popping in left and right in every kid’s vlog. Ryker is talking up a storm and Maui the cat is in the middle of everything just eating up the camera. They end the vlog by updating everyone on Erin. They say the doctors are still looking for answers as to what exactly is going on with her. 7.Michael and Brandon have mostly been quiet, but of course she has to repost when Charlie Kirk is murdered. It’s required by fundie law. Chad shares the picture of Michael holding the new baby in his thank you post, but that seems to be her only trip down to Florida. She announces that she and Brandon will be filming a q and a and asks for questions. She knows exactly the questions she is going to get, and they’ve already determined what they are going to say so none of it will be particularly enlightening. She makes sure to post her picture holding the new Stewart kid and that’s all we get from Keilen Corner this week. 8.On Monday, Chad Paine updates their followers with the news that Erin has been moved to a new hospital. Many people believe this may be a rehab type hospital, though Chad continues to be very vague. He films a super exploitive video where he reads a handwritten letter from Brooklyn to Erin. Erin still has her head covered with leads and seems mostly out of it, though she does cry softly. The comments are mixed with many people saying he should give her some dignity. Kelly Joe gloms on and makes a comment about all of her trips back and forth to Florida, less anyone believe she has abandoned Erin. All of these posts have millions of views. Erin is bringing in the biggest numbers of her life and is featured in tabloid stories posted all over social media. Her post with the baby has nearly 7 million views and over 12,000 comments. Kelly posts a story saying it’s been so hard to share about Erin because they don’t have a diagnosis and she has other kids who need her and are having surgeries. She must be talking about all of the wisdom teeth the younger kids are having removed. It hardly seems like something she couldn’t miss if she was critically needed somewhere else. On Thursday Tiffany and baby Will post from the hospital where they say they are visiting baby Henry. On Friday, Chad is back to thank a select few who have “been there for them”… in a series of pictures featuring the past weeks of sickness he thanks Erin’s parents, his parents, Lawson, Tiffany, Michael, Alyssa and Tori. He shows the kids playing with Gil, taking day trips to adventure parks and eating out while Erin tries to recover. Tiffany reminds folks to be kind during this time. She says the Bates family and the Paine family need prayer and for people to be kind. This is the same woman who spewed so much hate during the election and doesn’t believe women should have a say over their bodies… but whatever, preach on sister, I guess. By Saturday night, Erin is posting that she is at home. The post seems to be from her and not from Chad. She says she still doesn’t have use of her right leg, but she is tickled to be at home. Chad and Kelly Joe pose behind the wheelchair and Chad looks rough. He’s definitely lost weight while Erin appears happy holding little Henry. Hopefully the sistermoms show up so girlfriend can rest and recover. It’s always best to convalesce at home… unless home has 8 kids and an unemployed husband… 9.You know it’s a bad week for Tiffany and Lawson when they can only post a handful of 1950sa style cringe reels. The reels this week feature a wife excited that her husband is allowing them to eat out, Lawson placing Will in a trashcan because he is SO forgetful, Tiff does show off some pictures with Will at a Navy ship museum in San Diego holding her tiny bump, and pictures down in Florida with Holland and Brooklyn and Callie. She says Will is so happy to have so many cousins around to play with and shows off the Hilton that they are staying in. Everything that Chad posts, they repost. Then the whole Charlie Kirk thing happens and Lawson loses his ever loving mind… or whatever was left of it. He goes live to urge folks to pray for Kirk, he is visibly shaken and has been crying, he posts over and over just hurling insults at anyone who dare question him. Lawson only quiets down once it’s discovered who really shot Kirk. He doesn’t seem to have much to say about that. Tiffany is posting about Kirk also. They seem wild about this entire thing. Like they get points with MAGA based on how fervent their outrage and sadness is. Lawson never preached over his granddad or his gravely ill sister. We also see the 2 Wills together. They drop a vlog where they tease over and over again family updates and then never deliver. The vlog features their trip to visit Janie on the farm. She does say that she is doing better after her cancer treatments. Then we head to Bible Baptist Church for Will’s dedication. The crowd seems slim for a big Sunday morning and Gil Lords over them all. They Amen when he Amens and clap when he says clap. Lydia, Tori, Addee, Ellie, Callie, JebJud and Trace are all at the baby dedication, but Kelly is nowhere to be seen. Lawson trains the camera on Tori who doesn’t appear to be pregnant and asks for prayer for Erin. He says they were very close growing up. Tiffy points out that Erin is one of the sisters who has always been genuine with her… every time… and she appreciates that. Subtle shots fired. They head back to the big house for a photo shoot with Tiffany’s parents. 10.Bits and Bytes…Evan scores a new partnership with Cricut. It features him crafting shirts for his whole fam. He has endless free time it seems…Kelly Joe says holding Carlin’s new baby is about the only thing putting a smile on her face lately…Tiffany says they dropped in to visit Michael and “her kids”…Kelly says happy 2nd birthday to Ryker who has a huge part of her heart. She also reposts SO many Charlie Kirk posts…Bates Sisters Boutique has posted nothing since August 30. The social media pages have been silent and the website has no new clothes… This was quite a week. I hope you all made it through and can still find a reason to smile… have a great week friends! submitted by /u/dixcgirl10 to r/BringingUpBates [link] [comments]

My personal favorites parts of this throwback to the 90’s Clinton celebratory hype are that the base Clinton is wearing boxers, not briefs and that one of the outfits is a saxophone suit so that you can reenact his appearance on Arsenio Hall submitted by /u/Ok_Dimension_4707 to r/PropagandaPosters [link] [comments]

Price not a problem. I prefer quality and plain no designs. TIA submitted by /u/potatoe_wedges3 to r/fashionph [link] [comments]

New to the sport and just observing. I haven’t felt disrespected or treated differently than any men (although I’m sure that exists) but just noting that the vibe is soooooooooooooo male. I think it’s a lot of ingrained unconscious misogyny that both the men and some of the women in the sport participate in. It’s the skimpy golf outfits. The pressure you feel to be very demure and cartoonishly feminine. The “can’t wait to get away from the wives”. The competitiveness over the appreciation of the practice. It’s the instructors that need to correct the hips of the college aged women. It’s the aggressive careerism and constant finance bro talk. Consider the size of r/golfgw to r/womengolf It doesn’t bother me at this point but it feels like stepping back into 1975. It’s just a bizarre world. Anyways just noting. Love the sport and a lot of the people I’ve met. submitted by /u/PermissionTemporary6 to r/WomenGolf [link] [comments]

**How to Choose Men's Outerwear Vest: Lightweight Fall Casual Golf Sleeveless Jackets Full Zip Vest Travel** When it comes to outdoor activities like fishing, golfing, or traveling, having the right outerwear is essential. A lightweight, versatile vest can be a game-changer, especially during the fall season when the weather can be unpredictable. For men who enjoy these activities, a well-chosen sleeveless jacket or full-zip vest can provide both comfort and functionality. In this article, we’ll explore how to choose the perfect men’s outerwear vest, focusing on lightweight, fall-friendly options that are ideal for casual wear, golfing, and travel. ### 1. **Material Matters: Lightweight and Breathable** The first thing to consider when choosing a men’s outerwear vest is the material. For fall weather, you want something lightweight yet durable. Look for vests made from materials like polyester, nylon, or a blend of synthetic fibers. These materials are not only lightweight but also breathable, making them perfect for layering during cooler mornings or evenings. Additionally, they are often water-resistant, which is a bonus if you’re out fishing or golfing and encounter a sudden drizzle. For those who prioritize sustainability, some brands offer vests made from recycled materials. These eco-friendly options are just as durable and functional, making them a great choice for the environmentally conscious angler or golfer. ### 2. **Fit and Comfort: Sleeveless Design for Mobility** A sleeveless design is a key feature to look for in a men’s outerwear vest, especially if you’re engaging in activities that require a lot of arm movement, like casting a fishing line or swinging a golf club. A sleeveless vest allows for greater mobility and flexibility, ensuring that your movements aren’t restricted. When trying on a vest, make sure it fits snugly but not too tightly. You should be able to layer it over a long-sleeve shirt or sweater without feeling constricted. Adjustable features like side tabs or drawstrings can help you achieve a custom fit, which is particularly useful if you’re wearing the vest over different layers of clothing. ### 3. **Full-Zip Functionality: Versatility for All Occasions** A full-zip vest offers the most versatility, allowing you to easily put it on or take it off as the temperature changes throughout the day. This is especially important for outdoor activities like fishing or golfing, where you might start your day in the cool morning air and end it in the warmer afternoon sun. Full-zip vests also make it easy to layer. You can wear them open over a hoodie or sweater for a casual look, or zip them up for added warmth. This versatility makes them a great option for travel, as they can easily transition from outdoor adventures to more casual settings. ### 4. **Pockets and Storage: Practicality for Outdoor Activities** For anglers and golfers, having ample storage is crucial. Look for vests with multiple pockets, both inside and out. Zippered pockets are ideal for keeping small items like fishing lures, golf tees, or your phone secure. Some vests even come with specialized pockets designed for specific gear, such as a dedicated pocket for a golf glove or a hidden pocket for valuables. If you’re traveling, having extra storage can be a lifesaver. You can keep your passport, wallet, and other essentials close at hand without needing to carry an additional bag. ### 5. **Style and Color: Casual Yet Functional** While functionality is key, style shouldn’t be overlooked. A well-designed vest can be both practical and fashionable, making it suitable for a variety of occasions. Neutral colors like black, navy, or olive green are versatile and can easily be paired with different outfits. However, if you want to make a statement, consider vests with bold colors or subtle patterns. For fishing enthusiasts, some vests come in camouflage or earth tones, which can help you blend into your surroundings. On the other hand, golfers might prefer vests in brighter colors that match their golf attire. ### 6. **Durability and Maintenance: Built to Last** Finally, consider the durability of the vest. Outdoor activities can be tough on clothing, so you want a vest that can withstand the elements. Look for reinforced stitching, durable zippers, and high-quality materials that can handle wear and tear. Maintenance is also important. Choose a vest that is easy to clean, whether it’s machine washable or can be spot-cleaned. This will ensure that your vest stays in good condition for years to come. ### Conclusion Choosing the right men’s outerwear vest for fall activities like fishing, golfing, or traveling doesn’t have to be complicated. By focusing on lightweight materials, a comfortable fit, full-zip functionality, ample storage, and durable construction, you can find a vest that meets all your needs. Whether you’re casting a line on a cool morning or teeing off on the golf course, the right vest will keep you comfortable and stylish throughout the season. At **KyleBooker**, we understand the importance of quality outdoor gear. Our range of lightweight, sleeveless jackets and full-zip vests are designed with the outdoor enthusiast in mind, offering the perfect blend of functionality and style.

**How to Choose the Perfect Men's Casual Outerwear Vest: Lightweight Zip-Up Sleeveless Jacket for Outdoor Work, Hiking, Travel, and Golf with Pockets** When it comes to outdoor activities like fishing, hiking, or even a casual round of golf, having the right gear is essential. One piece of clothing that often gets overlooked but can make a significant difference in comfort and functionality is the **Men's Casual Outerwear Vest**. Specifically, a lightweight, zip-up sleeveless jacket with pockets can be a game-changer for outdoor enthusiasts. In this article, we’ll explore how to choose the perfect vest for your needs, whether you're out on the water with your **KyleBooker** fishing gear or hitting the trails. ### 1. **Material Matters: Lightweight and Durable** The first thing to consider when choosing a men's casual outerwear vest is the material. For outdoor activities, you want something that is both lightweight and durable. Look for vests made from high-quality fabrics like **nylon** or **polyester**, which are known for their durability and resistance to wear and tear. These materials are also quick-drying, making them ideal for activities where you might encounter water or sweat. Additionally, consider vests with a **water-resistant** or **waterproof** coating. This feature is particularly useful for fishing or hiking in unpredictable weather conditions. A vest that can repel light rain or splashes will keep you dry and comfortable throughout your adventure. ### 2. **Fit and Comfort: Sleeveless Design for Mobility** The sleeveless design of these vests is one of their most appealing features. It allows for greater mobility, which is crucial when you're casting a line, swinging a golf club, or navigating rugged terrain. When choosing a vest, make sure it fits snugly but not too tight. You want enough room to layer clothing underneath if needed, especially in cooler weather. Look for vests with **adjustable straps** or **elastic sides** that allow you to customize the fit. This ensures that the vest stays in place during active movements, providing both comfort and functionality. ### 3. **Pockets: The More, the Merrier** One of the standout features of a good outdoor vest is the number and design of its pockets. For fishing, hiking, or golfing, having multiple pockets can be incredibly useful. Look for vests with **zippered pockets** to keep your essentials secure, as well as **mesh pockets** for items you need quick access to, like your phone or a small tackle box. Some vests even come with specialized pockets designed for specific activities. For example, a fishing vest might have a **rod holder** or a **fly patch**, while a golf vest might include a **scorecard pocket**. Consider your primary activity and choose a vest with pockets that cater to your needs. ### 4. **Breathability and Ventilation: Stay Cool Under the Sun** When you're out in the sun for extended periods, especially during summer fishing trips or hikes, breathability is key. Look for vests with **mesh panels** or **ventilation zones** that allow air to circulate, keeping you cool and comfortable. This feature is particularly important if you're layering the vest over other clothing. Some vests also come with **UV protection**, which is an added bonus for those long days spent outdoors. This feature helps protect your skin from harmful UV rays, reducing the risk of sunburn. ### 5. **Style and Versatility: From the Trail to the Clubhouse** While functionality is crucial, style shouldn’t be overlooked. A good men's casual outerwear vest should be versatile enough to transition from the trail to the clubhouse without looking out of place. Neutral colors like **khaki**, **navy**, or **olive green** are great options as they pair well with a variety of outfits and are less likely to show dirt or stains. Additionally, consider the vest's overall design. A sleek, minimalist look is often more versatile and can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. Whether you're heading out for a day of fishing with your **KyleBooker** gear or meeting friends for a casual round of golf, a stylish vest can elevate your outdoor look. ### 6. **Brand and Quality: Trust in KyleBooker** Finally, when choosing a men's casual outerwear vest, it's important to consider the brand and overall quality. As a fishing blogger, I highly recommend **KyleBooker** for their commitment to quality and innovation. Their vests are designed with the outdoor enthusiast in mind, offering a perfect blend of functionality, durability, and style. ### Conclusion Choosing the right men's casual outerwear vest can significantly enhance your outdoor experience. By considering factors like material, fit, pockets, breathability, style, and brand, you can find a vest that meets your needs and complements your outdoor activities. Whether you're casting a line, hiking a trail, or teeing off, a lightweight, zip-up sleeveless jacket with pockets is an essential piece of gear that should not be overlooked.

**How to Choose Men's Lightweight Softshell Sleeveless Golf Vest with Zipper Pockets for Travel, Hiking, Fishing, and Safari Outwear** When it comes to outdoor activities like fishing, hiking, or even a safari adventure, having the right gear is essential. One piece of clothing that often gets overlooked but can make a significant difference is the **Men's Lightweight Softshell Sleeveless Golf Vest with Zipper Pockets**. This versatile piece of outerwear is not just for golfers—it’s a must-have for anyone who enjoys spending time outdoors. In this article, we’ll guide you through the key factors to consider when choosing the perfect vest for your next adventure. ### 1. **Material and Weight** The first thing to consider is the material of the vest. A **softshell fabric** is ideal because it offers a balance between durability, breathability, and water resistance. Look for a vest made from high-quality, lightweight materials that won’t weigh you down during long hikes or fishing trips. The softshell material should also be windproof to keep you comfortable in varying weather conditions. ### 2. **Fit and Comfort** A good vest should fit snugly but not restrict your movement. Since you’ll be wearing it during activities like fishing or hiking, you need a vest that allows for a full range of motion. Look for a **sleeveless design** that provides freedom for your arms, especially when casting a fishing line or swinging a golf club. Adjustable features like side tabs or elastic panels can help you achieve a custom fit. ### 3. **Zipper Pockets** One of the standout features of this type of vest is the **zipper pockets**. These pockets are not just for show—they’re incredibly functional. Whether you’re carrying small fishing tackle, a golf ball, or your phone, zipper pockets keep your items secure and easily accessible. Make sure the vest has multiple pockets, including at least one chest pocket and two side pockets, to accommodate all your essentials. ### 4. **Breathability and Ventilation** When you’re out on the water or hiking up a trail, you need a vest that can keep you cool and dry. Look for a vest with **mesh lining** or ventilation panels that allow air to circulate, preventing overheating. This is especially important if you’re fishing in warm weather or hiking in the sun. ### 5. **Durability** Outdoor activities can be tough on your gear, so durability is key. A vest made from **ripstop fabric** or reinforced stitching will stand up to the wear and tear of fishing, hiking, and other outdoor adventures. Check the seams and zippers to ensure they’re well-constructed and can withstand frequent use. ### 6. **Style and Versatility** While functionality is crucial, you also want a vest that looks good. A **sleek, modern design** in neutral colors like black, navy, or olive green will pair well with any outfit, whether you’re on the golf course, hiking trail, or fishing boat. The vest should also be versatile enough to transition from one activity to another without looking out of place. ### 7. **Weather Resistance** Even if you’re not planning to fish or hike in the rain, a vest with some level of **water resistance** is a smart choice. Look for a vest with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating that can repel light rain or splashes. This feature will keep you dry and comfortable in unexpected weather conditions. ### 8. **Brand Reputation** Finally, consider the brand. A reputable brand like **KyleBooker** is more likely to offer high-quality vests that meet all the criteria mentioned above. KyleBooker is known for its durable, functional, and stylish outdoor gear, making it a reliable choice for your next vest purchase. ### Conclusion Choosing the right **Men's Lightweight Softshell Sleeveless Golf Vest with Zipper Pockets** can enhance your outdoor experience, whether you’re fishing, hiking, or exploring the wilderness. By considering factors like material, fit, pockets, breathability, durability, style, weather resistance, and brand reputation, you can find a vest that meets all your needs.

**How to Choose Men's Casual Outerwear Vest Lightweight Winter Zip Up Sleeveless Jacket for Hiking, Travel, Golf, and Running** When it comes to outdoor activities like hiking, traveling, golfing, or running, having the right gear is essential for both comfort and performance. One of the most versatile pieces of clothing you can invest in is a men’s casual outerwear vest, particularly a lightweight winter zip-up sleeveless jacket. This type of vest is not only practical but also stylish, making it a must-have for any outdoor enthusiast. In this article, we’ll guide you through the key factors to consider when choosing the perfect vest for your needs. ### 1. **Material Matters** The material of your vest is crucial, especially if you’re planning to use it in colder weather. Look for vests made from high-quality, lightweight materials that offer both warmth and breathability. Popular options include: - **Down:** Down vests are incredibly warm and lightweight, making them ideal for winter activities. However, they may not be the best choice if you’re expecting wet conditions, as down loses its insulating properties when wet. - **Synthetic Insulation:** Synthetic materials like PrimaLoft or Thinsulate are excellent alternatives to down. They provide similar warmth but are more water-resistant and easier to care for. - **Fleece:** Fleece vests are soft, warm, and breathable, making them a great option for milder winter days or high-intensity activities like running. ### 2. **Fit and Comfort** A well-fitting vest is essential for both comfort and functionality. When trying on a vest, make sure it allows for a full range of motion, especially if you’ll be using it for activities like hiking or golfing. Look for vests with adjustable features like drawstrings or elastic hems, which can help you achieve a more customized fit. Additionally, consider the length of the vest—longer vests provide more coverage and warmth, while shorter vests offer greater mobility. ### 3. **Weather Resistance** If you’re planning to use your vest in variable weather conditions, consider one with water-resistant or windproof properties. Many vests come with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating, which helps shed light rain and snow. For added protection, look for vests with taped seams to prevent water from seeping in. ### 4. **Pockets and Storage** Pockets are a key feature to consider, especially if you’ll be using your vest for activities like hiking or golfing. Look for vests with multiple pockets, including zippered ones for secure storage of small items like keys, phones, or snacks. Some vests even come with specialized pockets for items like golf balls or fishing gear, making them even more versatile. ### 5. **Style and Versatility** While functionality is important, you’ll also want a vest that looks good. Choose a style that complements your existing wardrobe and can be easily dressed up or down. Neutral colors like black, gray, or navy are versatile and can be paired with a variety of outfits. If you prefer something more eye-catching, consider vests with bold colors or patterns. ### 6. **Brand and Quality** Finally, consider the brand and overall quality of the vest. A well-known brand like **KyleBooker** often guarantees a higher level of craftsmanship and durability. Investing in a high-quality vest may cost more upfront, but it will likely last longer and perform better in the long run. ### Conclusion Choosing the right men’s casual outerwear vest for winter activities doesn’t have to be complicated. By considering factors like material, fit, weather resistance, pockets, style, and brand, you can find a vest that meets your needs and enhances your outdoor experience. Whether you’re hitting the trails, the golf course, or just running errands, a lightweight winter zip-up sleeveless jacket is a versatile and practical addition to your wardrobe. So, next time you’re gearing up for an outdoor adventure, make sure you’re equipped with the right vest—your comfort and performance will thank you! submitted by /u/kylebooker2021 to r/flyfishingcommunicati [link] [comments]

**How to Choose the Best Men's Rain Jacket: Waterproof, Lightweight, and Packable for Hiking, Golf, and Running** When it comes to outdoor activities like hiking, golfing, or running, having the right gear can make all the difference. One of the most essential pieces of equipment for any outdoor enthusiast is a reliable rain jacket. For men who are serious about their outdoor pursuits, choosing the right rain jacket—waterproof, lightweight, and packable—is crucial. In this article, we’ll guide you through the key factors to consider when selecting the perfect rain jacket for your needs, and why the **KyleBooker Men's Rain Jacket** stands out as a top choice. ### 1. **Waterproof Performance** The primary function of a rain jacket is to keep you dry, so waterproofing is non-negotiable. Look for jackets made with high-quality waterproof materials like Gore-Tex, eVent, or proprietary waterproof membranes. These materials are designed to repel water while allowing moisture from sweat to escape, ensuring you stay dry from both rain and perspiration. The **KyleBooker Men's Rain Jacket** features a cutting-edge waterproof membrane that provides superior protection against heavy rain. Its sealed seams and water-resistant zippers further enhance its ability to keep you dry, even in the most challenging weather conditions. ### 2. **Lightweight Design** A heavy rain jacket can weigh you down and make outdoor activities uncomfortable. For activities like hiking, golf, or running, a lightweight jacket is essential. It should feel almost weightless when worn, allowing you to move freely without restriction. The **KyleBooker Men's Rain Jacket** is crafted from ultra-lightweight materials, making it ideal for high-energy activities. Despite its lightness, it doesn’t compromise on durability or protection, ensuring you stay comfortable and dry without feeling burdened. ### 3. **Packability** When you’re on the go, space is often at a premium.

The **KyleBooker Men's Rain Jacket** excels in this area, with a design that allows it to be packed into its own pocket. This compact form makes it easy to carry, whether you’re heading out for a hike, a round of golf, or a long run. ### 4. **Breathability** While waterproofing is important, breathability is equally crucial. A jacket that doesn’t allow sweat to escape can leave you feeling clammy and uncomfortable, especially during high-intensity activities. Look for jackets with breathable fabrics and ventilation features like underarm zippers or mesh-lined pockets. The **KyleBooker Men's Rain Jacket** incorporates advanced breathable technology, ensuring that moisture from your body is efficiently wicked away. This keeps you dry and comfortable, even during strenuous activities. ### 5. **Durability** Outdoor activities can be tough on gear, so durability is a key consideration.

Whether you’re navigating rocky trails or braving strong winds on the golf course, this jacket is up to the task. ### 6. **Fit and Comfort** A well-fitting rain jacket should allow for a full range of motion without being too loose or too tight. Adjustable features like drawcord hems, Velcro cuffs, and hood adjustments can help you achieve a customized fit. The **KyleBooker Men's Rain Jacket** is designed with an ergonomic fit that accommodates layering without restricting movement. Its adjustable hood and cuffs ensure a snug fit, keeping rain out while allowing you to move freely. ### 7. **Style and Versatility** While functionality is paramount, style shouldn’t be overlooked.

Post anymore in the comments and I'm happy to clear them up. 2023 and on P/S sections are becoming filled with 50/50 questions, and I have borrowed a list of terms from previous reddit posts that people commonly get confused, and will write a brief explanation for all of them. Original 50/50 list by u/assistantregnlmgr, although I created the explanations circa 7/28/2024 collective vs group behavior – collective behavior is more about deviance, short term deviations from societal norms (examples of collective behavior that khan academy sites include fads, mass hysteria, and riots). There are three main differences between collective and group behavior. #1 – collective behavior is more short term while group behavior is more long term. #2 – collective behavior has more open membership than group behavior. #3 – group behavior tends to have more defined social norms while collective behavior is moreso up in the air. For instance, think of a riot; the riot is pretty short-term (e.g. a few days), has more undefined social norms (e.g. how do people in the riot dress/act? they probably haven't established that). Moreover, anyone who supports the cause can join the riot (e.g. think George from Gray's anatomy joining the Nurse strike). Group behavior is much more long term. E.g. a country club membership – people can enter the "club" but only if they pay a big fee (more exclusive), it's more long-term (life-time memberships) and there is more norms (e.g. a rulebook on what clothes you can wear, etc). riot vs mob – Riots are groups of individuals that act deviantly/dangerously, break laws, etc. They tend to be more focused on specific social injustices (e.g. people who are upset about certain groups being paid less than others). Mobs are similar, but tend to be more focused on specific individuals or groups of individuals (e.g. a crowd of ultra pro-democracy people who are violent towards any member of congress) [high yield] escape vs avoidance learning – both of these are forms of negative-reinforcement, since they are removing something negative, making us more likely to do something again. Escape learning is when we learn to terminate the stimulus while is is happening, avoidance learning is when we learn to terminate a stimulus before is is happening. For instance, escape learning would be learning to leave your dentist appointment while they are drilling your cavity (painful) while avoidance learning would be leaving the dentist as soon as they tell you that you have a cavity to avoid the pain. perceived behavioral control vs self-efficacy vs self-esteem vs self-worth vs self-image vs self-concept – these are really tough to differentiate. Perceived behavioral control is the degree to which we believe that we can change our behavior (e.g. I would start studying for the MCAT 40 hours a week, but I have to work full time too! Low behavioral control). Self-efficacy is moreso our belief in our ability to achieve some sort of goal of ours (e.g. "I can get a 520 on the MCAT!"). Self-esteem is our respect and regard for ourself (e.g. I believe that I am a respectable, decent person who is enjoyable to be around), while self-worth is our belief that we are lovable/worthy in general. Self-image is what we think we are/how we perceive ourself. Self-concept is something that is related to self-image, and honestly VERY hard to distinguish since it's so subjective. But self-concept (according to KA) is how we perceive, interpret, and even evaluate ourselves. According to Carl-Rogers, it includes self image (how we perceive ourselves), while self-concept is something else according to other theories (e.g. social identity theory, self-determination theory, social behaviorism, dramaturgical approach). Too broad to be easily defined and doubtful that the AAMC will ask like "what's self-concept" in a discrete manner without referring to a specific theory. desire vs temptation – desire is when we want something, while temptation is when our we get in the way of something of our long-term goals (e.g. wanting to go out and party = temptation, since it hinders our goal of doing well on the MCAT) Cooley's vs Mead's theory of identity – Charles Cooley invented the concept of the looking-glass self, which states that we tend to change our self-concept in regards to how we think other people view us [regardless of whether this assessment is true or not] (e.g. I think that people around me like my outfit, so my self-concept identifies myself as "well-styled). [high yield] primary group vs secondary group vs in-group vs reference group. Primary groups are groups that consist of people that we are close with for the sake of it, or people who we genuinely enjoy being around. This is typically defined as super close family or life-long friends. Secondary groups are the foil to primary groups – they are people who we are around for the sake of business, or just basically super short-lived social ties that aren't incredibly important to us (e.g. our doctor co-workers are our secondary group, if we are not super close to them). In-groups are groups that we psychologically identify with (e.g. I identify with Chicago Bulls fans since I watched MJ as a kid). DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE ARE CLOSE TO THEM THOUGH! For instance, "Bulls fans" may be an in-group, and I may psychologically identify with a random guy wearing a Bulls jersey, but that doesn't mean they are my primary group since I am not close to them. Out groups are similar - just that we don't psychologically identify with them (e.g. Lakers fans) Reference groups are groups that we compare ourselves to (we don't have to be a part of this group, but we can be a a part of it). We often try to imitate our reference groups (when you see a question about trying to imitate somebody else's behavior, the answer is probably "reference group" – since imitating somebody's behavior necessitates comparing ourselves to them). An instance would be comparing our study schedules with 528 scorers on REDDIT. [high yield] prejudice vs bias vs stereotype vs discrimination – stereotypes are GENERALIZED cognitions about a certain social group, that doesn't really mean good/bad and DOESN'T MEAN THAT WE ACTUALLY BELIEVE THEM. For instances, I may be aware of the "blondes are dumb" stereotype but not actually believe that. It may unconsciously influence my other cognitions though. Prejudice is negative attitudes/FEELINGS towards a specific person that we have no experience with as a result of their real or perceived identification with a social group (e.g. I hate like blondes). Discrimination is when we take NEGATIVE ACTION against a specific individual on the basis of their real or perceived identification with a social group. MUST BE ACTION-based. For instance, you may think to yourself "this blonde I am looking at right now must be really dumb, I hate them" without taking action. The answer WILL not be discrimination in this case. Bias is more general towards cognitive decision-making, and basically refers to anything that influences our judgement or makes us less prone to revert a decision we've already made. mimicry vs camouflage – mimicry is when an organism evolutionarily benefits from looking similar to another organism (e.g. a species of frog makes itself look like a poison dart frog so that predators will not bother it), while camouflage is more so when an organism evolutionarily benefits from looking similar to it's environment (self-explanatory) game theory vs evolutionary game theory – game theory is mathematical analysis towards how two actors ("players") make decisions under conditions of uncertainty, without information on how the other "players" are acting. Evolutionary game theory specifically talks about how this "theory" applies to evolution in terms of social behavior and availability of resources. For instance, it talks about altruism a lot. For instance, monkeys will make a loud noise signal that a predator is nearby to help save the rest of their monkey friends, despite making themselves more susceptible to predator attack. This is beneficial over time due to indirect fitness – basically, the monkey that signals, even if he dies, will still be able to pass on the genes of his siblings or whatever over time, meaning that the genes for signaling will be passed on. KA has a great video on this topic. communism vs socialism – self explanatory if you've taken history before. Communism is a economic system in which there is NO private property – basically, everyone has the same stake in the land/property of the country, and everyone works to contribute to this shared land of the country that everyone shares. Socialism is basically in between capitalism and socialism. Socialism offers more government benefits (e.g. free healthcare, education, etc) to all people who need it, but this results in higher taxation rates for people living in this society. People still make their own incomes, but a good portion of it goes to things that benefit all in society. [high yield] gender role vs gender norm vs gender schema vs gender script – gender roles are specific sets of behavior that we expect from somebody of a certain gender in a certain context (for instance, women used to be expected to stay at home while men were expected to work and provide). Gender norms are similar, except that they more expectations about how different genders should behave more generally (not in a specific scenario) (e.g. belief that women should be more soft-spoken while men should be more assertive. BTW I do NOT believe this nonsense just saying common examples that may show up). Gender schemas are certain unconscious frameworks that we use to think about/interpret new information about gender (e.g. a person who has a strong masculine gender identity doesn't go to therapy since he believes that self-help is a feminine thing). Gender scripts are specific sets of behavior that we expect in a SUPER, SUPER SPECIFIC CONTEXT. For instance, on a first date, we may expect a man to get out of his car, open the door for the woman, drive her to the restaurant, pay for the bill, and drop her off home). quasi-experiment vs observational study – quasi-experimental studies are studies that we cannot change the independent variable for – and therefore they lack random assignment. A quasi-independent variable is a independent variable that we cannot randomly assign. For instance, a quasi-experimental design would be "lets see how cognitive behavioral therapy implementation helps depression men vs women" – the quasi-independent variable is gender, since you cannot randomly assign "you are male, you are female" etc. The dependent variable is reduction in depression symptoms, and the control variable (implemented in all people) was CBT implementation. Observational studies are studies in which a variable is not manipulated. For instance, an observational study involves NO manipulation whatsoever of independent variables. For instance, "let's just see how women/men's depression changes over time from 2020–2025 to see how the pandemic influenced depression." The researcher is NOT actually changing anything (no independent variable) while at least in a quasi-experiment you are somewhat controlling the conditions (putting men in one group and women in another, and implementing the CBT). unidirectional vs reciprocal relationship – a unidirectional relationship is a relationship where one variable influences the other variable exclusively. For instance, taking a diabetes drug lowers blood sugar. Lowering the blood sugar has NO IMPACT on the dose of the diabetes drug. It's unidirectional. On the other hand, a reciprocal relationship is when both things influence on another. For instance, technology use increases your technological saviness, and technological saviness increases your use of technology. retinal disparity vs convergence – retinal disparity is a binocular cue that refers to how the eyes view slightly different images due to the slight difference in the positioning of our left vs right eye. Stereopsis refers to the process where we combine both eyes into one visual perception and can perceive depth from it. Convergence is a binocular cue that refers to how we can tell depth from something based on how far our eyes turn inward to see it. For instance, put your finger up to your nose and look at it – your eyes have to bend really far inward, and your brain registers that your finger is close due to this. [high yield?] kinesthesia vs proprioception. Proprioception is our awareness of our body in space (e.g. even when it's dark, we know where our arms are located). Kinesthesia is our awareness of our body when we are moving (e.g. knowing where my arms are located when I swing my golf club). absolute threshold of sensation vs just noticeable difference vs threshold of conscious perception. Absolute threshold of sensation refers to the minimum intensity stimuli needed for our sensory receptors to fire 50% of the time. The just noticable difference (JND) is the difference in stimuli that we can notice 50% of the time. Threshold of conscious perception is the minimum intensity of stimuli needed for us to notice consciously the stimulus 50% of the time. Woah, these are abstract terms. Let's put it in an example. I'm listening to music. Absolute threshold of sensation would be when my hair cells in my cochlea start depolarizing to let me have the possibility of hearing the sound. The threshold of conscious perception would be when I am able to consciously process that the music is playing (e.g. "wow, I hear that music playing") the JND would be noticing that my buddy turned up the music (e.g. John, did you turn up the music?!?). I've heard threshold of conscious perception basically being equivalent to absolute threshold of sensation, however, so take this with a grain of salt. evolutionary theory of dreams vs information processing theory of dreams/memory consolidation theory of dreams – the evolutionary theory of dreams states that #1 – dreams are beneficial because they help us "train" for real life situations (e.g. I dream about fighting a saber-tooth tiger, and that helps me survive an attack in real life), or that #2 – they have no meaning (both under the evolutionary theory, conflicting ideologies though). The information processing theory of dreams/memory consolidation theory of dreams are the same thing – and basically states that dreaming helps us to consolidate events that have happened to us throughout the day. semicircular canals vs otolith organs (function) – semicircular canals are located in the inner ear and have this fluid called endolymph in them, which allows us to maintain equilibrium in our balance and allows us to determine head rotation and direction. Otolithic organs are calcium carbonate crystals attached to hair cells that allow us to determine gravity and linear head acceleration. substance-use vs substance-induced disorder – substance-induced disorders are disorders where basically using a substance influences our physiology, mood, and behavior in a way that doesn't impair work/family life/school. For instance, doing cocaine often makes you more irritable, makes your blood pressure higher, and makes you more cranky, but doesn't impact your school/family/work life – that's a substance-induced disorder. Substance-use disorders are when substances cause us to have impaired family/work/school life – e.g. missing your work deadlines and failing your family obligations cuz you do cocaine too much [high yield] Schachter-Singer vs Lazarus theory of emotion – these both involve an appraisal step, which is why they are often confused. The Schacter-Singer (aka TWO-factor theory) states that an event causes a physiological response, and then we interpret the event and the physiological response, and that leads to our emotion. (e.g. a bear walks into your house, your heart rate rises, you say to yourself "there's legit a bear in my house rn" and then you feel fear). Lazarus theory states that we experience the event first, followed by physiological responses and emotion at the same time (similar to cannon-bard, but there is an appraisal step). For instance, a bear walks into your house, you say "oh shoot there's a bear in my house" and then you feel emotion and your heart starts beating fast at the same time. fertility rate vs fecundity – total fertillity rate (TFR) is the average number of children born to women in their lifetime (e.g. the TFR in the USA is like 2.1 or something like that, meaning that women, on average, have 2.1 kids). Fecundity is the total reproductive potential of a women (e.g. like basically when a girl is 18 she COULD have like 20 kids theoretically). mediating vs moderating variable – blueprint loves asking these lol. Mediating variables are variables that are directly responsible for the relationship between the independent and dependent variable. For instance, "time spent studying for the MCAT" may be related to "MCAT score", but really the mediating variable here is "knowledge about things tested on the MCAT." Spending more time, in general, doesn't mean you will score better, but the relationship can be entirely explained through this knowledge process. Moderating variables are variables that impact the strength of the relationship between two variables, but do not explain the cause-effect relationship. For instance, socioeconomic status may be a moderating variable for the "time spent studying for the MCAT" and "MCAT score" relationship since people from a high SES can buy more high-quality resources (e.g. uworld) that make better use of that time. rational choice vs social exchange theory – I want you to think of social exchange theory as an application of rational choice theory to social situations. Rational choice theory is self-explanatory, humans will make rational choices that maximize their benefit and minimize their losses. Social exchange theory applies this to social interaction, and states that we behave in ways socially that maximize benefit and minimize loss. For instance, rational choice theory states that we will want to get more money and lose less money, while social exchange theory would talk about how we achieve this goal by interacting with others and negotiating a product deal of some kind (wanting to get the most money for the least amount of product). ambivalent vs disorganized attachment – these are both forms of INSECURE attachment in the Ainsworth's strange situation attachment style test. Ambivalent attachment is when we are super anxious about our parents leaving us as a kid, cling to them, and feel super devastated when our parents leave. Disorganized attachment is when we have weird atachment behavior that isn't typical of kids and isn't predictable (e.g. hiding from the caregiver, running at full spring towards the caregiver, etc). Just weird behavior. I'll add avoidant behavior is when we lack emotion towards our caregiver (not caring if they leave or stay). role model vs reference group – role models are 1 specific individual who we compare ourselves to and change our behavior to be like (for instance, we change the way we dress to behave like our favorite musical artist). Reference groups are when there are multiple individuals who we compare ourselves to and change our behavior to be like (for instance, we change our study plan when talking to a group of 520+ scorers). type vs trait theorist – type theorists are theorists who propose that personality comes in specific "personality archetypes" that come with various predispositions to certain behaviors – for instance, the Myer's briggs personality inventory gives you one of 16 "personality types". Trait theorists describe personality in terms of behavioral traits – stable predispositions to certain behaviors. For instance, big five/OCEAN model of personality is an example of the trait theory opiate vs opioid – opiates are natural (think Opiate = tree) while opiods are synthetic. Both are in the drug class that act as endorphin-like molecules and inhibit pain (opium). [high yield] Deutsch and Deutsch late selection vs Broadbent Early selection vs Treisman's attenuation. – these are all attentional theories. Broadbent's early selection theory states that we have a sensory register --> selective filter --> perceptual processes --> consciousness. So we have all the information go through our sensory register, the selective filter takes out the unimportant stuff that we are not focusing on, and then perceptual processes essentially take the important information from the selective filter and send it to consciousness. Deutsch and Deutsch says something that is reverse. Information goes from sensory register --> perceptual process --> selective filter --> consciousness. According to the D&D theory, all information is processed, and THEN the selective filter says "this info is important" and sends it to consciousness. Treisman's theory is a middleman; it states that there is a sensory register --> attenuator --> perceptual processes --> consciousness. The attenuator "turns up" or "turns down" important and unimportant stimuli without completely blocking it out. Here's applied versions of these: basically, in a task I have to listen to only the right earbud while ignoring the left earbud. The broadbent's selection theory would state that I completely tune out the left earbud and "filter it out" – so that only the right earbud is processed. The deutsch and deutsch model states that I process both ears, but my selective filter then can decide that the left ear is unimporant messages and then tune it out. Treisman's theory states that I can turn down the input of the left ear, while turning up the input of the right ear. If something is still said that was in the left ear that is important, I can still process it, but it would be less likely. temperament vs personality – temperament is our in physical, mental, and emotional traits that influence a person's behavior and tendencies. Personality is the same thing – but it's less focused on "being born with it" like temperament is. Basically, we acquire our personality through things we have to go through in our lives (e.g. think Freud and Erikson's theories about how we develop). drive vs need – these are both part of the drive reduction theory. A need is a deprivation of some physical thing that we need to survive (food, drink, sleep). A drive is an internal state of tension that encourages us to go after and get that need (e.g. a need is water, a drive is feeling thirsty and getting up to open the fridge) obsessions vs compulsions – both are in OCD. Obsessions are repetetive, intrusive thoughts that are unwanted, but still keep popping up in our head. E.g. an obsession could be like feeling that your oven is on even when you know you turned it off. A compulsion is an action that we feel like we must take to cope with the obsession. For ex, a compulsion would be driving home to check if the oven is on, and doing this every time we feel the obsession. cultural diffusion vs cultural transmission – cultural diffusion is the spread of cultural values, norms, ideas, etc between two separate cultures (e.g. Americans picking up amine as a common thing to watch) while cultural transmission is the passing down of cultural values/norms across generations (e.g. teaching your kids about the American declaration of independence and democracy) general fertility rate vs total fertility rate – general fertility rate refers to the number of children born per 1000 child-bearing age women (ages 15–44 are counted). TFR, as explained earlier, is the average number of children born to a woman in her lifetime. sex vs gender – sex is biologically determined, while gender is the sex that we identify as or that society represents us as. desensitization vs habituation/sensitization vs dishabituation – habituation is a non-associative learning phenomenon in which repeated presentations of the stimulus result in lowered response (e.g. I notice the clock ticking in the room, but then stop noticing it after a while). dishabituation is when we return to a full aware state (noticing the clock ticking again). Sensitization is when we have an increase in response to repeated stimuli presentations (e.g. getting more and more angry about the itchy sweater we have on until it becomes unbearable). desensitization is when we return to a normally aroused state after previously being sensitized to something. self-positivity bias vs optimism bias – self-positivity bias is when we rate ourselves as having more positive personality traits and being more positive in general than other people. Optimism bias is when we assume that bad things cannot happen to us (e.g. assuming that even if all of our friends when broke gambling, we will be the one to make it big!) sect vs cult – sects are small branches/subdivisions of an established church/religious body, like lutherinism or protestantism. A cult is a small group of religious individuals, usually those who follow some sort of charismatic leader and usually do deviant stuff (e.g. heaven's gate). religiosity vs religious affiliation – religiosity is the degree to which one is religious/the degree to which regigion is a central part of our lives, while religious affiliation is simply being affiliated with a certain religious group. Religioisty would be like "I go to church every day, pray at least 7 times a day, and thank God before every meal" while religious affiliation would be like "yeah, I was baptized." power vs authority – power is the degree to which an individual/institution influences others. Authority is the degree to which that power is perceived as legitimate. [high yield] linguistic universalism vs linguistic determinism (opposites) – linguistic universalism states that all languages are similar, and that cognition completely determines our language (e.g. if you cannot perceive the difference between green/blue, your language will not have a separate word for blue/green). Linguistic determinism states that language completely influences our cognition (e.g. you will not be able to tell the difference between two skateboard tricks a skater does if you do not know the names for them) Drop and 50/50 or tossup psych terms below and I'll check periodically and write up an explanation for them. Okay, I need to stop procrastinating. Time to go review FL2. submitted by /u/marth528 to r/Mcat [link] [comments]

A Nintendo Direct is a pre-recorded video presentation (Today's is approximately ~40m in length) to make game announcements and provide fans with general updates directly from Nintendo. What are they going to show? According to Nintendo, today's presentation is focused on Nintendo Switch games "coming in the second half of 2024! There will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during this presentation." What if I can't watch the Nintendo Direct or Treehouse live due to work/school/etc.? If you want the latest news the moment it's announced, we highly recommend joining our Discord server and chatting in the #nintendo-direct channel we've opened up for this event. If you want a spoiler-free experience, we will edit in a link to a VOD replay (once it's available). This will take you directly to the video so you don't accidentally see any trailers if you visit the Nintendo YouTube page directly. Just don't scroll down! There WILL be spoilers here on the subreddit, so watch the video first. If you see any posts that should actually be here in the MegaThread, please do us a favor and hit the report button. Our SOP for posts is as follows: We will allow one post per announcement. The post we allow may not necessarily be the one that was submitted first. We typically will receive about 15 of essentially the exact same post in the span of about 60 seconds. From those, we will select the one that has the best title and links directly to the original source when available. Commentary on the announcement(s) should take place either in this thread or on the related separate announcement post. Each person's specific opinion does not need its own post. submitted by /u/NintendoSwitchMods to r/NintendoSwitch [link] [comments]

My heart was racing. My knees even trembled a bit. I remember those feelings nearly a decade later. The nervous anticipation I felt as I walked across the hotel lobby and stood waiting for the elevator. I was wearing a little black dress, heels, and new lingerie. Everything about the outfit was out of character for me. I was nineteen years old and fit from years spent playing soccer and basketball. Nobody would ever confuse me for a model, but I’m not unattractive. I was a part-time student working my way through college. I had a job working at an upscale hotel. The goal was to work my way up to an assistant manager position to get some of that coveted leadership experience on my resume. The hotel was on a golf course and catered primarily to executive business travelers. It wasn’t the kind of place that your company puts you up when you're on the road. It's where the CEO of your company stays. We didn’t have a uniform, but were required to dress professionally. That was typically a blouse and skirt for me. The clientele often liked to get flirty with the help. It was our job to go the extra mile. We flirted back. We smiled. We laughed at every unoriginal bad joke. Not just the women. The guys would kiss ass, too. That kind of thing could lead to unwanted advances. Men often wanted to buy me a drink. The more confident ones would suggest more, like having a drink in their room. But I always declined. At least until the day I didn’t. He was a regular client. He had a European accent. I don’t know what he did, but he was at the hotel every other month. He always booked a suite. The starting price, back then, was $1200 a night. That night he got in around 10 pm. He was obviously stressed and complained about his day of travel. I was alone at the front desk. He mentioned he would use some company to help him relax. I politely declined. Then he offered me $500. The money was tempting. I was on a partial scholarship for sports and athletics, but it wasn’t enough. I was struggling to pay my bills and tuition. But $500 wasn’t going to make me sleep with a stranger. I told him there were clubs nearby where that offer would work. “I’m not looking for professionals,” he said. “I don’t like dirty women.” I declined again. He opened his wallet and started counting out bills. He had over $600 and a handful of Euros. He offered it all. I turned him down a third time. He persisted. “I can’t sell my virginity for $600,” I finally blurted out. I was sure he’d stop after that and be a little more respectful. But the opposite happened. He offered me $2500. Then $3000. Then 5k for a full night. I was overwhelmed. I told him I needed to think about it. But I also just wanted him to go away. I was on the desk again the next night. When he came by I accepted his offer. He must have expected it. He slipped me an envelope with the original $600 in bills and told me to dress well and buy new lingerie. I kept most of the money. I bought a dress on sale at Nordstrom Rack and lingerie at a boutique store. He got a room downtown in a different hotel.. I’d told him it was against the rules to socialize with guests at work. Every nerve tingled as I walked in. I’d never felt like I might be sick. He sat by the window after he let me in. “Undress,” he commanded. There were no niceties or ice breakers. I knelt to take off my heels. “Not like that,” he said. “Stand. Take your time.” I’d been a tomboy most of my life. I felt awkward. I didn’t want to blow it. I took off the dress. He admired the lingerie and told me to spin around for him. I did what he said. “There is nothing like deflowering a woman,” he told me.. “It’s special. To be a woman’s first. The one she will never forget.” He kept talking for what seemed like an eternity. I don’t know if he wanted to savor the moment or he was just full of himself and thought he was impressing me. I just wanted to get it over with. The actual act wasn’t very sensual. He was slow and methodical. He knew what he was doing, though. He wasn’t bad or selfish or hurried. He kept telling me how I would remember that night for the rest of my life. Obviously, he wasn’t wrong. At least not so far. He slept soundly after. I tossed and turned most of the night. In the morning he ordered room service, but I didn’t have an appetite. Dining with him wasn’t part of the agreement. The money didn’t last long, of course. At that age it seemed like a lot, but I had so many expenses with school. In retrospect, $5600 doesn’t seem like enough money to sell your virginity to a man who obviously got off on corrupting people with his wealth. But I wasn’t really a virgin anyway. I’d only said it because I thought he’d leave me alone. Who knew it would only lead to him upping the offer? submitted by /u/MyCocteauValentine to r/stories [link] [comments]

This situation happened a few weeks ago, but it’s been brought back up this morning through an online disagreement. For context I live on a military base, so etiquette is a bit different. I go to the gym on base every weekday at the peak of the day (around 3/4PM) and my workouts are usually around half an hour of weightlifting. It’s not a ridiculous regimen, but it does leave me hot and sweating. When I left the gym the other week it was also unusually hot outside, so I took off my shirt and walked the rest of the way to my car in my sports bra. It is by no means a frilly or revealing bra or anything like that, in fact if anything it squishes my girls in and makes me look like I have man pecs. On top of that I was sweating and exhausted, so not a good look all in all. Anyways two guys pulled up next to my car and I ended up standing around for a few moments waiting for one of the guys to get out of his side of the car because he was blocking my door. The other dude joked at him to hurry up, I said it was no biggie, the first dude moved out of the way, and we all went about our respective day. I didn’t even think anything of it until this morning. I made a post on my neighborhoods Facebook group asking how much candy I should be buying since this is my first Halloween on this base. Not twenty minutes later I got a message from a random woman asking me if I workout at the gym on base, and after a few more questions she told me that one of the guys in that car was her husband and apparently he had talked about “this hot chick that was flashing her body at the gym” to his work buddies. I guess one of his workmates told her about it, my tribal tattoo was mentioned somewhere in the mix, and she just so happened to stumble across that post and my profile picture, where you can clearly see my tattoo. Weird circumstance all in all, but then she proceeded to call me a home wrecking hoe and threatened to get me banned from the gym for breaking dress code. The dress code states that, amongst other typical things like proper PT wear, women aren’t allowed to go in just a sports bra, but I didn’t even take my shirt off until I was like 10 feet from the gym. I just stated the above and told her that nothing even happened between me and her husband, but she replied that she was still going to report me to the gym and that “I knew what I was doing by being indecent in public”. I haven’t been able to respond to her because Facebook has been down since then, but that last sentence has had me thinking. I didn’t really think much of being out in a sports bra, but I guess the only people that I really see going shirtless on base are men running the track or doing frisbee golf. And since etiquette is a little different on base, maybe I broke some unspoken rule about women not going out in public in just a sports bra. I dont, know but I’ll accept any judgment I receive here. EDIT: I’ve taken some of your suggestions into account and screenshot the conversation. I’ll be heading to the gym later today and will make sure to clarify the dress code rules and make sure that I was following them. UPDATE: Preemptive apologies because this might be quite long, and apologies to those who I didn’t get back to, I’ve been running errands all day and I’m not very active on social media to begin with. Just came back from the gym—the first thing I did was go to the front desk and ask about the dress code rules to make sure I didn’t violate anything. The official verdict is that I was right on all counts: no it isn’t against the rules, but it is sort of an unspoken rule for women to keep their shirts on at this base. For those who are interested I’m based at Fairchild, and for those who don’t know it’s sort of a smaller base with a generally middle-aged/older population (read: conservative). I didn’t think to mention it in the post but I’m 23 and, thanks to the miracle that is weightlifting, have a banging body. It’s really whatever, at the end of the day I can’t change the community, I can only respect it. I also found out when I went to the front desk that the woman who messaged me had already called and made a complaint. Big thank you to everyone who told me to save our messages, because she ended up spinning some wild story about how I was running around the gym in booty shorts and a racy sports bra and none of the staff did anything about it! I didn’t think to mention my outfit that day either, but it was knee length spandex with a college sweatshirt, and the sports bra I was wearing was high neck and plain black. I gave them the date and general time that all of this went down and they checked the cameras, both indoors and out, and the footage showed that the woman was lying. So at least my gym time is safe. Lastly (deep breath), I did take everyone’s advice and ended up blocking the woman, but I found out through my neighbor that she made a whole entire post about me on the Facebook group. In it she warned other married women that there is “some young hoe dressing scantily at the gym and messing around with taken men”, gave them my description (I guess I blocked her before she could save any of my pictures), and told them to report me to the front desk if they saw me at the gym. She also went on a rant about how little girls don’t respect the sanctity of marriage—didn’t think to mention this in my post either (or any of my messages to her), but I also happen to be married. At the end of the day I don’t really care about what strangers have to say about me, so I ended up just shrugging it off. Also big thanks to the service members who commented, it helped a lot seeing things from the viewpoint of others who are in the same position as me. submitted by /u/FroggySpirit to r/AmItheAsshole [link] [comments]

Last updated: 12/07/19 Edit 32: Couldn't help myself. Added Urban Jurgënsen and Manufacture Royale. Thread is archived so no promises, but feel free to message me with any requests! A. Lange & Söhne: You work in investments, but nowhere as common as Wall Street. You have been known to casually ask to compare balance bridges with Patek owners. Alpina: You are subscribed to Outside magazine, and can quote passages from Krakauer’s “Into the Wild” by by heart. You own a pair of serious hiking boots, but they languish in your closet, unworn and unmuddied. You could not afford a Rolex Explorer. If pressed, you would not be able to articulate why anyone would actually need an “Alpinist” watch. Audemars Piguet: You are a rapper, and you think the brand name is “Royal Oak”. Apple Watch: You are either a secretary or nine-figure earning CEO at a Fortune 500 company. You use your Apple Watch Series 4 to track both your weekly jogs and chicken roasts. You are vaguely familiar with the idea that other, “old-fashioned” watches exist, but assume they will soon disappear once they are no longer repaired by their manufacturers. Azimuth: Your two most treasured possessions are an autographed photo of Leonard Nimoy and a replica copy of the Voyager probe Golden Record. You can only dream of owning an MB&F. Ball: As you walk through your LED lit hallway, down the stairs illuminated by motion sensing flood lamps, and towards your basement model train table outfitted with 3000 Lumen overhead halogen bulbs, you’re gladly reassured by your watch's Tritium lume - for the brief second it takes to find the switch. Balticus: You are either a metrosexual 20-something working in Warsaw, or a teenage boy living in rural Estonia. You don’t get to play with your Overwatch team as much as you’d like due to the time difference. You dream of moving to Berlin or New York. Baume et Mercier: You were touched when your wife got you a Clifton for your wedding. You have since gotten a Rolex, but wear your B&M on special occasions. Thankfully, she got you an automatic, not a quartz. Bell & Ross: You think IWCs are a pale imitation of a Boeing 767 flight instrument. You want to wear the entire flight panel. Blancpain: Let’s be real, unless you're Vladimir Putin, the only watch you wear from this brand is the Fifty Fathoms - and it never goes near water. Bovet: You are the president of an esteemed French bank, say, Société Générale. While browsing the shops near your villa in Nice, you came across a lovely Fleurier, which you bought without even considering a discount. So much less common than a Breguet. Breitling: You aspire to be a pilot. You think the Breitling Emergency is the coolest watch ever made. You are unfamiliar with the term “in-house”. Bremont: You are an Anglophile. After purchasing two models from the boutique, you are hoping one day to be invited to a Townhouse event. You are either blissfully unaware, or painfully so, of the concept of “resale value”. Though you publicly state it doesn’t matter, you are secretly jealous that Tudor is moving in-house. Even you are somewhat embarrassed by their origin story. Breguet: You properly pronounce “Tourbillon”. You cringe when others refer to dial markings as mere “Arabic numerals”. You wish more people understood the history of horology. Your dream is to visit Paris. Bulova: You are either a middle-aged man obsessively collecting the 1970's Accutrons of your youth, or you picked this up from the jewelry counter at Kohl's - with a coupon. Burberry: You are either a skinny-tie wearing American office drone, or a Chav named Derek living in Slough. In either scenario, you believe the checkmark on the dial exudes class. BVLGARI - Men's: You wanted a watch that looked like a Diesel, but more expensive. BVLGARI - Women's: While you already have a diamond Datejust, you wanted something a little flashier to go with your evening-wear Chanel handbag. You delight in correcting others when they attempt to read the name on the dial. Even watch geeks will admit your Serpanti is kind of cool. Carl F. Bucherer: You are a Chinese national who has never visited the United States. Your uncle’s textile factory has vaunted your family into the upper-middle classes, and it is expected that you project a certain image to distinguish yourself from the commoners. The saleswoman assured you that your Manero is for “a man of distinction” and will fit perfectly with your other internationally recognized luxury item, your cherry-red Buick GL8 Sedan. Cartier: You like beautiful things, and are possibly a woman. Casio: In school, your glasses were held together with Scotchtape, and the mechanical pencil in your shirt-front pocket always jammed, but your trusty Calculator Watch never failed. You are shocked that others are copying your look ironically. Certina: You are the 33-year old manager of a Coop supermarket outside of Davos, Switzerland. While you believe fancy watches are for tourists, your Powermatic was listed “Uhren 50% Rabatt!” and looks pretty sweet. Chanel: When you awake, you reach for your bottle of No. 5 - sprayed at the pulse points - before you check your phone. You love your ceramic white J12 for the way it effortlessly graces most of your outfits. You spend most days at work surreptitiously surfing TheRealReal, desperately trying to emulate your idol, Coco, on the cheap. Secretly, you wish the whole Nazi collaborator thing was just an ugly rumor. Chopard: When you got engaged, you insisted on a “Chopard for Love” ring in a platinum setting. While your finance-bro fiancee couldn’t be there on the special day, he gave you a Happy Diamonds to go with it on your three-year anniversary. He will marry you. Eventually. Right? Christiaan Van Der Klaauw: You are an unusually successful astrophysicist with a NY Times bestselling book. You wear you hair at a rakish angle, and unabashedly use the phase “a priori” in everyday conversation. You actually understand the concept of Sideral time. You first heard of the brand from the oligarch who endowed your research chair using laundered Petro dollars. Christopher Ward: You can’t afford to spend more than $1K on a watch. You’ve come to actually love your Trident. Secretly, you think the new logo makes your watch look like a toy. Citizen: You work for NASA, and your job is to set the clocks on the GPS satellites. Concord: The year is 1986. While all the other middle-managers are celebrating their promotions with Trans Ams, women, or Rolexs, you chose the Concord Saratoga. Placing the leftover cash into Lincoln Savings and Loan bonds and a custom suit with serious shoulder pads, you choose to invest in things that last. Corum: You spend most days at your estate's dock, "working" on your teak-decked Sloop, so much so that your wife - for whose birthday you bought a subscription to Sail magazine - calls your Coxswain when she wishes to find you. You exclusively wear Sperry’s and have been known to sport a racing flag tie unironically. You know nothing about watches. Cuervo y Sobrinos: You are a third generation Cuban-American named Jorge living in Buena Vista, Miami. You drink Bacardi Gold as you grill pulled pork at cookouts and play dominos with your Abuelo. You chose your Rubusto to honor your family, culture, and heritage. Secretly, you’re terrified that someone might find out your legal name is George - and that you speak no Spanish. Damasko: You earnestly believe that form must always follow function. You lament the paucity of good quality, acid-resistant PVD watches on the market. As you wear steel-toed hiking boots daily, you wouldn’t be caught dead handling, much less wearing, a gold dress watch. Daniel Wellington: You are a millennial who is into latte art. You think Humphrey Bogart looked so cool in old movies with his suit and trench coat. You are unaware of the terms "quartz" or "automatic". If you're honest, you had a hard time choosing your watch, as they all look the same on the website. You pay $5 a pop at the jewelry store to change Nato straps, which you recently got into. De Bethune: You successfully sold your internet company - with no revenue, let alone income - for $450 million dollars. You love technology, shiny things, and the color blue. You have a life-size replica of the Star Trek: The Next Generation bridge in your Rec room. Diesel: You are either a teenager with vociferous opinions on the PC vs. Console gaming wars, or a playboy far too busy dating multiple women simultaneously to know what that is. Dornblüth & Sohn: You own a grandfather clock, which you wind daily. Your have the same opinion on Roman numerals as on your ex-wife - cluttered, fussy, and confusing. You drive a vintage BMW - in your opinion, the epitome of a functional automobile - before the snazzy marketing made them much too flashy. Ebel: Fresh out of law school, you just got your first associate-level job at a big firm. You wanted something pretty but professional to wear to work. You are confused as to why on dates, men excitedly ask to see your watch, then get close, look disappointed, and say ”oh…an Ebel...”. Edox/Mido: You are a 23 year old German man, fresh out of the University of Heidelberg. Your starter job and soon to be expiring student benefits did not allow you to stretch for a Longines. The salesman’s face visibly fell when you walked through his door. Eterna: Your KonTiki was a Jomashop 75% off gamble. You have since become a fanboy, going so far as to grow a beard and voraciously reading Thor Heyerdahl's memoirs. You will order a nature survival kit, tent, and water purification pills online before you lose all interest and snuggle back up to your PS4. Fortis: You are a young German man living in Düsseldorf. You saved up quite a few paychecks at your Aldi managerial job to afford your Stratoliner. You wish the SR-71 Blackbird was still around. You have re-watched Top Gun 23 times, while imagining that your handle would be “The Baron”. If you ever actually visited an American airbase, you would be disgusted with the wastefulness and vow never to return. Fossil: You are a 25 year old man at your first job. Your workplace has open-plan offices and “Sunday Fundays”. You carefully buckle up your leather watch before dates, and make sure it shows under your cuff. Franck Muller: You are a jocular pediatrician, or possibly, a professional clown. You have a weakness for Tonneau cases and Art Deco numerals. Frederique Constant: You could not afford a JLC Master Ultra Thin Moon, so you got this instead. You are unsuccessfully trying to make a 42mm dress watch work for your wrist. You were shocked, and a little disappointed, when you learned that the company was founded in 1988. Garmin: You are subscribed to Men's Health and GQ. Before leaving for work, you lace up your running sneakers and strap on your Forerunner in case you can get a quick run in on the way home. This never happens. Your Bowflex sits quietly in your garage, gleaming and untouched. Ginault: You spent $1,449 on a Rolex Submariner Homage. You while away countless man-hours on the forums, defending the brand from baseless accusations. You will ultimately purchase Hulk, Pepsi, and Daytona homages from other brands, and with time, will have spent more on replicas than the cost of the real thing. Girard-Perregaux: You swear that the Laureato is “the next Overseas”, and that the Golden Bridges are an under appreciated masterpiece. You purposely chose a 1966 over a JLC Master Ultra Thin. Secretly, you wonder if you made a mistake. Glashütte Original: You, overall, cannot afford a Lange. Glycine: You’ve outgrown the flashy Invicta's of your youth, but are still hesitant to go smaller than 46mm in a watch. Secretly, the vaguely military associations of your Combat Sub mildly arouse you. If he were alive to see it, Eugène Meylan would throw an egg at your face. Glycine - Vintage: You live in an old age home, with your WWII Purple Heart and military induction papers tucked away discreetly in a corner. You still wear the Airman which you bought on the base at Ramstein in ’49. Sadly, your grandson only visits to eye it covetously. Graham: You couldn’t resist a watch whose crown is easily confused with a grenade’s firing pin. Your Volkswagen Golf has vanity plates and a silkscreened pin-up on the rear window. You have a shrine to your grandfather in your room, a WWII vet with the British Expeditionary Force, though he only got to flee Dunkirk. Even you suspect the “Watchmakers Since 1659” claim is crap. Grand Seiko: You think a Spring Drive is the coolest thing since sliced bread. You frequently photograph your Cocktail Time with your Sony camera or, in a pinch, your latest generation iPhone. You have bookmarked Youtube videos of the Grand Seiko factory - in case you meet someone with a Swiss made watch who needs a little convincing. You wish Seiko would do marketing better. Grönefeld: While trained at RADA, you have peaked as a recognizable, but under-appreciated Hollywood actor. You have impeccable taste and a thing for Salmon dials. You wanted something dressier than your sponsored but boring Omega to wear to the Met Gala. G-Shock: You are a junior in college, or an emergency room physician. You delight in taking your G-Shock to watch meet-ups, to the horror of the traditionalists. You recently took up mountain biking just to post Instagram photos of your watch on the trails. H. Moser & Cie: You have a mischievous sense of humor, and in high school, were known to film pranks you pulled on your friends. You have an insatiable weakness for fume dials. While you can’t quite put your finger on it, you suspect the brand will be worth a lot in coming years - or so you tell anyone who will listen. Deep down, you are terrified your Endeavor might just be a passing fad. Hamilton: You recently graduated college. You spent hours on the watch forums, debating between this or a Longines. You finally settled on the Jazzmaster/Khaki, though the salesman couldn't tell you anything about it. The highlight of your life was when a random woman on a date said, “nice watch”. You almost married her. Hautlence: You have a game room in your Park Avenue, per-war classic six filled with pinball machines. You wear pink glasses, to let your underlings at your Goldman Sachs job know that you can be “cool” too. You are not. Hermes: You are either a perfumer living in the Montmarte district of Paris, or an American woman with an unerringly good fashion sense. Hublot: You are, simply, wrong. HYT: You are a successful electrical engineer with lucrative patents to your name, or an internet startup founder that actually solved and monetized a hard problem in computer science. You love nothing more than to hand your H1.0 over to curious passerby, while pontificating upon the intricacies of fluid dynamics. Invicta - Type 1: You are a non-watch geek dad in a suburban shopping mall. You wanted to get "something nice" for yourself. You find sub 46mm watches "too girly". You enjoy explaining to others, with wide-eyed delight, how your watch is powered by "moving your arm". Invicta - Type 2: You are in high school, without a summer job. You think the Rolex Submariner is the perfect modern, go anywhere, do anything watch. You feel ostracized on the watch forums, but can’t help but smile when you see your Pro Diver on your wrist. IWC: You are openly not a pilot, but enjoy having an altimeter strapped to your wrist. Jacob & Co: You are a formerly successful, now destitute rapper. You pawned this watch at a significant loss. Jaeger-LeCoultre: You exclusively dress in suits, except on bank holidays, when you wear chinos and your Reverso. You are frequently found on watch forums extolling “the watchmaker's watchmaker” virtues. You think 100M of waterproofing is all anyone should ever need. Your will instructs your heirs to bury you with your Atmos clock, as they surely won’t appreciate it. You hope one day to be able to roll your R’s like the guy in the boutique. Jaquet Droz: You are either a well diversified collector, or an Arabian Shiek from an oil rich kingdom. If the latter, your other watch is a Rolex Daytona Rainbow with diamond bezel. Johan Eric: You googled “watch” on Amazon and this is the first thing you found with Prime shipping. In general, you are decidedly not picky, both in watches and in life. JS Watch Co: While you used to have a very generous circle of friends, your incessant droning on about your trip to Iceland and the sweet Frisland you scored there soured even your most steadfast companions. You now spend most days online, nostalgically looking at Tripadvisor reviews for restaurants in Reykjavik, or re-watching the Lord of the Rings for the twelfth time. Junghans: You were just hired by a big design firm, but on a starter salary. You visit your local art museum on “free admission weekends”, and hang around free gallery shows. You have a small tattoo on your right bicep. You hope to upgrade to a Nomos one day. Klasse14: You favorite Instagram influencer subtly bombarded you with sponsored posts showcasing the brand. You hope your Miss Volare will one day star in your own epic selfie in front of the Eiffel Tower. Kobold: Your “keeper” test is if she’ll watch all six seasons of the Sopranos with you. Your most treasured possession is an autographed napkin from the late, great, James Gandolfini. Since his passing, your interest in the brand has cooled, and secretly, you worry that your Spirit of America is just a more expensive Shinola. Laco: As you gaze admiringly at the Saarbrücken on your wrist, you find yourself wondering: Was Hitler really that bad? Lip: You are a Frenchman originally from Toulouse. You work for the Bureau of Weights and Measurements, converting metric measurements to Napoleonic Mesures Usuelles for those still living in the First Republic. While you would prefer to wear an Omega, you can only imagine the shocked “Non!” That would emanate from the mustachioed lips of your supervisor, Gaspard, upon seeing it, and you’d rather avoid an employee tribunal. You’d win, but it’s a hassle. Longines: You just got your first job out of college. You are looking for something classy and professional to go along with your first real suit. You will one day own a JLC. Lorus: You are a street-peddler living in Hyderabad. You cannot afford a Seiko 5, but not for any reason that would be remotely funny. Luminox: You constantly talk about “doing an Ironman”. You sleep in a Naval Academy t-shirt and proudly fly the “thin blue line" US flag on your porch. You make vague allusions to former service when asked, but secretly, you were only a mall cop in the 90’s. Manufacture Royale: Liberace would like to know where you got your watch. Marathon: You are a former United States Marine, 3rd Battalion, 6th. You wore this watch on patrol in Kandahar, where your buddy scratched his initials on the case back. This is either a faithful re-telling, or you have entirely imagined the above scenario for color at your current office job. Maurice Lacroix: The year is 1995. Bill Clinton is president of an economically resurgent USA. You just got promoted to Assistant to the Regional Department President of your longtime employer, IBM. Having recently heard about the value of a “Fine Swiss Watch”, you decided to purchase your Pontos after seeing an ad for it in the pages of Sports Illustrated. It feels right. MB&F: You are an angel investor in various internet start-ups. You believe in “thinking different” and “changing the world”. Having gone through the various Pateks, Langes, and Journes that befit your station, you now find pretty much every other watch brand ridiculously boring. You wear an Apple watch concurrently on your other wrist. MeisterSinger: You purposefully wear subtly mismatched socks with your corduroys. You carry your daily possessions in a fanny pack, considering it more practical than a messenger bag. You are perpetually 10-15 minutes late to all your appointments. Secretly, you have a thing for amputee girls. Michael Kors: You are a 16-33 year old woman. Your house is filled with rose-gold colored accessories. You shop at Macy’s, where you purchased this watch to match your handbag. In the watch world, you are actually one of the sane ones. Mondaine: You either have a collection of hair mousses to apply based on the weather, or are an oddly obsessive spotter of Swiss electric trains. Montblanc: You couldn’t afford a JLC. You have since taken to the watch forums, declaring the superiority of Minerva, stating, “it’s over for the over $5K’s”. Secretly, you also hate stacked movement complications. Montegrappa - Chaos by Sylvestor Stallone: What the hell is wrong with you? Moritz Grossman: You are the head of an old family manufacturing firm in Bavaria. Your frauline, Hilda, urged you to finally treat yourself and upgrade from the reliable but tired Swatch on your wrist. Feeling a Lange was too recognizable to the men on the assembly line, you chose the Benu Power reserve, but only to wear at board meetings. Movado: You are either a 21 year old man wearing a Movado Bold at the club, or an 83 year old gentlemen wearing an original Museum piece. There is no middle ground. Mühle Glashütte: Your evangelical zeal for the brand makes you the human embodiment of those “allow notifications?” pop-ups. You dream of becoming a mariner. MVMT: You are a millennial who drives a motorcycle. You have a collection of leather jackets. You hope someone comments on how well your watch matches your sunglasses. Nixon: You are a 32 year old man named either Chad or Brad living in Encinitas, California. As you spend most days on the beach surfing in your board shorts, you have a perpetual tan even in winter. You aren’t into watches, but your Base Tide was giving you good vibes from the surf-shop window, and it matches your leather Yogi bracelet perfectly. Nomos: While you initially could not afford a Swiss made watch in art school, you are now a successful Bahaus-style architect. You have a membership to your local modern art museum. While you prefer espresso, you drink drip from a vintage Braun coffee maker. Apple “Keynote Days” are like Christmas in June. Ochs and Junior: You sincerely collect promotional posters for modern art exhibits. You have an interesting job in either advanced engineering or product design at a well funded startup in Berlin. Somewhat obsessively, you refuse to wear any items with visible brand names. Even you can’t always tell what the hell the date is on your perpetual calendar. Oris: You are frequently found on watch forums, starting, “Why buy an Omega when you can get virtually the same quality for half the cost?” You think the Sixty Five is exactly what your grandfather would’ve worn - if he was cooler, and not a rural school teacher from Iowa. You are secretly trying to save for a Rolex Sub, but need the cash for your PADI training. Omega: You are intimately familiar with all 12 manned Apollo missions. You eagerly anticipate the next James Bond film. You refer to your Seamaster as “the thinking man’s Sub, with a better movement”. Bonus points if you know who George Daniels is. Orient: You are a senior in high school. You love your Bambino, but as you know watches, you don’t claim it’s equivalent to something more expensive. You dream of winning the lottery. You are pure. Panerai: You frequently exclaim, “What’s the point of wearing a watch if no one sees it?” You live in California, and exclusively wear short sleeves. You are unusually familiar with the Italian Navy’s WWII operations, glossing over the period 1940-1943. Parmigiani Fleurier: You are the scion of an old, proud Italian banking family. While you of course have a few Patek’s tucked away in the vault at your Lago Maggiora villa, your father, Luca, gifted you your Tonda Tourbillon because he errantly believed it was an Italian brand “like from the old days, bene!” You don’t have the heart to correct him. Parnis: You desire a replica Daytona, but your country’s customs force is extremely efficient at confiscating goods that violate trademarks. Patek Philippe - Type 1: You took off from work to watch the Henry Graves Super Complication auction livestream. You think the Nautilus is overvalued, preferring the khaki green Aquanaut instead. You are possibly John Mayer, but if not, you hope one day to actually own your own Patek. Patek Philippe - Type 2: You are a Russian oligarch. You assert that a hacking seconds “damages the movement”. Though you’ll never say so openly, you are secretly jealous of the finishing on a Lange. You feel reassured when you see one of those “For the next generation” ads. Philippe Dufour/Laurent Ferrier/F.P. Journe: You are a Russian oligarch, but with exquisite taste. Piaget: You claim that the Calatrava and Patrimony "smell of old man". You frequently end arguments with "yeah, but...thinest movement in the world." You cannot actually afford a Calatrava or Patrimony. Poljot: In the old days, you were a MiG-23 fighter pilot for the Motherland. Your Poljot, along with your state-issued Volga GAZ-24 sedan, marked you as a man of importance among the proletariat. Sadly, in your current job as grocery store guard, only the old babushkas recognize your former glory. It would kill you to know that 30-year old gamers bought your watch online because they thought the Cyrillic on the dial looked cool. Rado: You are a material scientist tenured at a prestigious university. You have no interest in watches, but could not pass up the mystery and wonder of a watch that never scratches. Everything from your pots to your pants are coated in Teflon. Raymond Weil: Are you sure you aren’t wearing a Maurice Lacroix with Roman numerals? RGM Watch Co: You are a 62-year old Boomer living in Pittsburgh, PA. As you are retired - with pension - from your job as a chemical engineer for US Steel, you have plenty of time to hobnob on Timezone.com. You post multiple photos of your 801-COE in various lights, to the eager approval of all twelve forums members. You can’t tell anyone, but you voted for Donald Trump. Richard Mille: If you weren’t an American billionaire, you’d probably be buying an Invicta - with the logos removed, you surely couldn’t tell the difference. You make sure to wear your watch when interviewed by Fortune, with the sleeves of your silk Dolce & Gabana shirt rolled up. Roger Dubuis: You are a Argentinian Striker, recently relocated to the UK with Manchester United. Stacy, your loyal WAG, got you the Excalibur after you instructed your assistant to leave notes around your Wilmslow mansion with explicit purchasing instructions. All involved acted surprised on your birthday. If you are being honest, you sometimes confuse it with your Richard Mille. Roger W. Smith: You are the scion of a Japanese telecommunications fortune. You love discussing horology, but only online. You are that unusual combination of billionaire and introvert, perhaps due to your secret insecurity in your own abilities. You fantasize about how one day, Otuo-San will notice your Series 2, and nod approvingly at you with his tight-lipped grimace. In your own quiet way, this is how you show off. Rolex - Sub (Ha!) Type A: ROLEX ROLEX ROLEX. YOU CAN’T BUY ANYTHING BUT A ROLEX IT’S THE ONLY THING WITH RESALE VALUE. HAVE YOU SEEN MY TWO-TONE SUB WITH THE CYCLOPS? I LIKE IT ‘CAUSE IT HAS WRIST PRESENCE. Rolex - Sub Type B: You frequently re-watch all Sean Connery Bond films, asserting that Daniel Craig is not a “real” Bond. You know the difference between the 1016 Caliber 1560 and 1016 Caliber 1570. You believe steel can stretch with minimal effort. You prefer watches with rusted dials and no date. As you frequently speak full sentences consisting solely of reference numbers, it is assumed by passerby that you work for a secretive government agency. Rolex - Sub Type C: You are a successful Italian-American contractor. You wear a two-tone Datejust - your only watch - which never leaves your wrist. On vacation at the resort in Cabo, you make sure your wrist is angled properly so the waiter can see it when taking your order. Rolex - Sub Type D: When you found out your wife was pregnant, you rushed to purchase a "birth year" Sub. Your son will not get to wear it until you are dead. Rolex - Sub Type E: You are a researcher who spends all day next to an MRI machine. While you never wore a watch before, you found yourself suddenly desperate for one after seeing an eerily personalized ad for the Millgauss pop up on Facebook. After the initial triumphant forum pic, the novelty wore off, and most days you just check the wall clock. Romain Jerome: You have no compunctions wearing a watch made from the Titanic. You have more money than sense. Scuderia Ferrari: Your friends know not to utter the word “Lamborghini” for fear of starting a rant. Your firstborn son is named Enzo. Your Pilota watch, Ferarri ball-cap, keychain, and limited edition Scuderia Ferrari for Ray-Ban aviators all proudly accompany you as you step into your 2004 Honda Civic. Seagull: It took quite a few shifts at the Dairy Queen, but you finally got your Ocean Star. You feel like you need a dress piece too, but are unsure when you’d ever wear it. One day, with a JLC on your wrist, you will look back upon this time wistfully. Seiko: You are starting college this Fall. You spend most days on watch forums, hoping to find newbies asking for help so that you can steer them your way. You think the Seiko 5 is the best value per dollar in horology. Deep down, you know that if you ever won the lottery, you’d trash them all for a stable of platinum Langes. Sekonda: On the way to a job interview as a Transport of London station cleaner, you decide a watch will make you look more reliable. You grab the cheapest Sekonda Classic from Mr. Singh’s newsstand, and make sure to check it copiously during your interview. You are surprised when you do not get the job. Changing the dead battery three days later, you are puzzled by the Cyrlic writing inside the case. Shinola: You are a Clinton, or an oddly proud Detroit native. You think the “Made in the USA” controversy was a hit job egged on by Hodinkee. You have average sized wrists, but think they are larger than they really are. You have a weakness for wire lugs. Sinn: You are subscribed to the WatchBuys newsletter. You cannot afford an IWC. You post numerous photos of your Sinn 356 Flieger, in a vain attempt to reassure yourself that the acrylic crystal was the right choice. Skagen: You drive a used but well loved Volvo. While you know nothing about watches, you found it cumbersome to check your dumb phone for the time, and began your search for something practical but affordable. As you know the quickest shortcut to get to the cafeteria at your local IKEA - where you get the meatballs weekly - an ostensibly Danish watch held some appeal. You are unaware that Denmark and Sweden are different countries. Speake-Marin: ”A touch loud? What do you mean, leopard print pants with a leather jacket is loud?” Squale: You cannot afford a Rolex Submariner. Steinhart: You could not afford a Rolex or IWC. While you truly enjoy wearing your Hulk Sub homage, deep-down, you question where the line is between imitation and theft. Stowa: You enjoy having an altimeter strapped to your wrist, but cannot afford an IWC. You would love to mention its WWII history, but are unsure how to do so without appearing insensitive. Stührling: American Airlines flight 1257, direct to Dallas, seat 48B. Two hours in, You saw the Depthmaster in the pages of SkyMall and knew you couldn't pass it up. Swatch: You are a child in elementary school, or a successful, established artist. You love color. You have a watch collection, but they are all Swatches. You wish you could buy another one of the Irony whose crystal cracked when you dropped it on your kitchen floor. Swiss Legend: You could’ve bought the Esq. brand chrono - with the same Chinese Quartz movement - for $139, but then it would’t say “Swiss” on the dial, would it? Tag Heuer: Your first “real” watch was a Link, which you initially saw in the pages of Golf Digest/Tennis Magazine. For the longest time, you had a crush on Maria Sharapova. The chip on your shoulder is slightly lessened when you see photos of vintage Carreras online. Timex: You are a senior citizen, or an aspiring US presidential candidate. In either case, your grandson is suddenly asking to borrow your watch. Tissot: You just got your first job out of college, but it pays less than the Longines fellow. You appreciate either classic or ridiculously bold design. After a long career, you will one day own a Rolex. Triwa: You are a full-time Instagram influencer. Perhaps one day, you will regret the purchase of your Donald Trump “Comb Over” watch - but not today. Tudor: You assert that the Black Bay 58 is what Rolex “used to be”. You take pride in the quality of the bezel on your Pelagos. You either never will admit, or say all the time, that you wish you had a Rolex. Tutima Glashütte:As the only way to acquire a Lange would be to sell a kidney, you eagerly sought out an alternative still made in your mythical Glashütte. You fancy yourself a sportsman, though this is usually only expressed by the bench press. While you wear your Grand Flieger daily, if pressed, you could not articulate why, exactly, your watch had to be German. Ulysse Nardin - Type 1: What exactly do you think you are, some kind of enthusiast? Ulysse Nardin - Type 2: As soon as you saw the Minute Repeater Voyeur - with a lifelike orgy scene on the dial, complete with moving “parts” - you knew you needed that kind of artistry in your life. Urban Jurgënsen: Was your watch produced by the Swedish Chef? Vacheron Constantin: You think a Calatrava is an ugly duckling compared to the all-encompassing beauty of a Patrimony. You refer to the period from 1987 - 1996 as “the Dark Times”. You wish resale value were higher, but blame Patek fanboys. Various Microbrands: You are subscribed to the “Affordable Watches” forum on WatchUSeek. You have a Google Alert on Kickstarter so you don’t miss the latest limited release. You are saving for a vintage Rolex, which increasingly appears out of reach. You are filled with a mixture of delight and despair when someone asks, "is that a Rolex?" of your Mk II Nassua. You have a love/hate relationship with Jason Lim of Halios. Various Vintage: You are Fred Savage. You think anything over 36mm is garish. While you wear your vintage Omega (original dial, of course) all the time, you have been known to slip on your modern Rolex Sub for the beach. You spend your weekends at estate sales, dreaming of coming across an unrecognized Patek for $150, which you bargain down to a clean $100. Victorinox: After your brief fling with Chinese watches, you decided it was time to step up to Swiss made. You wear your Fieldforce proudly in Econ 101, desperately hoping Brittany will notice it. Plus, you already had the matching backpack. Vostok: You are a value-oriented teen gamer, or an elderly Russian pensioner. You have 9 inch wrists. Zenith: You make half-hour long YouTube videos consisting of you chanting into the camera, “El Primero. El Primero. First Automatic. El Primero.“ You scoff at the JLC 751A as a rushed copy. Deep down, you believe the world is unjust, and fear your brand will never be properly recognized. Zodiac/Doxa: You are a certified Master Scuba Diver Trainer. You smile indulgently at your wealthy tourist clients, who have Submariners and Fifty Fathoms on their wrist. After you've been tipped, you love nothing better than to hand over your SeaWolf/Shark for inspection, casually stating "This baby's been down to 250 feet, no problems. How about yours?"
