What are the best white canvas sneakers on the market?
Trying to test out a bunch and want to know which ones people are interested in
Price is not important (I know the Pradas for $1000 are preposterous tho), but I just wanna know the best

Morjas — though a shoe company — pays good attention to the outfits

Here I am last week driving around in Florida. My body is destroyed after nearly 7 years of SS training.
As you can see, I had to move the seat all the way back because my gut kept getting stuck on the steering wheel. And my toad arms made me look like a No Kings protestor.
Mark Rippetoe made me fat and depressed, you can see it in the picture.
7 years of pure damage. At 46 years of age, I'm cooked. >30% bf, zero jawline, weak, depressed, unaesthetic, and a human pear.

2026 is the year I undo all the damage “Powerlifting” and Mark Rippetoe did to me No man has harmed more young men than Mark. He turned a whole generation of men into fat unaesthetic >30% bodyfat human pears with huge asses and wide birthing hips He is going to hell

Ever notice how the people with the best lives have infinite energy?
They do it all & don’t miss a beat. Late night sends. Early morning workouts. Always having fun & making memories winning in all categories of life & gas pedaling thru life
It’s cause their life fuels them.
They have a better source of energy than you - they created a life that gives them energy instead of takes it
Which says something about the sleep score types
Aakash Gupta@aakashgupta
You check your Apple Watch in the morning. Sleep score: 62. You decide it's going to be a foggy day. And then it is. A 2014 Colorado College study suggests the score itself causes the fog. 164 people walked into a lab. Researchers hooked them up to fake EEG equipment and told them the readout would show their REM percentage from the night before. Then they fabricated a number. Half the room was told 28.7%. Half was told 16.2%. The machine wasn't measuring anything. Participants took four cognitive tests. The Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test, where you add numbers spoken at increasing speed and hold your last sum in working memory while computing the next. And the Controlled Oral Word Association Task, where you generate as many words as you can starting with a single letter under time pressure. Both are gold-standard measures of attention and executive function used in clinical neurology. The 28.7% group outperformed the 16.2% group on both. Significantly. How rested participants actually felt that morning predicted nothing. The mechanism is mindset priming an executive resource. When you believe you slept well, you allocate cognitive effort more aggressively. You don't conserve. You don't pre-disengage. Belief about the resource changes how you spend it. Two control conditions ruled out demand characteristics. Participants weren't trying harder because they thought they should. Real measurable cognitive performance shifted with the number on the readout. The Apple Watch sleep score. The Oura ring readiness number. The morning ritual of checking either one is taxing the resource you're about to need. The performance gap from a fabricated REM percentage was larger than the gap from how rested participants actually felt. The number was louder than the night.

Chinos are some of the most versatile pants anyone can own. Dress them up or down. They pair well with almost everything.
Doug Bihlmaier of RRL is the perfect example of that.

@Steve_Sailer @prewittse It’s more of an issue for kids growing up. But this matters as that’s when you learn the position. Catchers will move out from behind home to play the field but it’s very rare for someone to pick up catching as they get older.
English
@prewittse Do ballplayers steal second base more with a lefthanded batter up impeding the right handed catcher? That might be true, but I don't recall announcers pointing out that it's easier to steal with a lefty batting.
English
There hasn't been a left-handed catcher in MLB since the 1980s, but nobody can agree on the definitive reason why not. It sounds to me like it could be discrimination driven by prejudice.
But the SPLC et al don't fundraise against the rising tide of handism, so nobody cares.
Funhouse@BackAftaThis
1989: Benny Distefano is the last left-handed catcher.
English
@Steve_Sailer Right handed batters slightly block the throwing lane to second base. This is more of an issue at younger ages but that’s when many people develop their position.

If this is the front of your 7-million-dollar Greenwich Connecticut home, do you remove the greenery, or keep it as it is?

Oh no a beautiful walkable city where it’s 70° year round, you can swim in the ocean in January, you can eat some of the best Mexican food in the United States, and there’s a farmers’ market every day of the week, how awful!

@kai_xbt This theory just doesn't add up because if nothing else rappers and athletes do have enough money for high level tricking, so if they really wanted skinny girls they could just buy it. Why trick on thick women to cope when you can afford "better"?

@Duderichy Probably more actually do to the ability to invest and compounding

@JTAlexander_ Really attractive women typically don’t have high body counts
English
For men like Henry, anyone who could "looksmatch" him is probably going to be some super-starlet with an ego and body count that makes her repulsive as a partner.
"Power couples" is a female-driven concept. We don't like girlbosses and self-obsessed beauty queens.
Ambar@Ambar_SIFF_MRA
Henry Cavill and his longtime partner, Natalie Viscuso. They aren't particularly looks-matched. Most would agree he is noticeably better looking than her. Yet examples like this are quite common. It highlights how men frequently prioritize loyalty, honesty, and compatibility over purely superficial looks.

Portland is a world class city . maybe the best food & access to nature of any major US city . just ignore the people

.@vailmtn is the worst run company in America IMO
if you invested ten years ago you’ve gotten crushed vs just buying the index
It’s time for them to make radical changes, but they won’t
I recommend NOT buying an @epicpassclub if you can avoid it, and fly to Europe or Japan and have a much better experience for LESS money

Vail Resorts is cutting the price of next year’s Epic Pass by 20% for young people, another step to coax customers to its mountains on.wsj.com/40HPrGw
