The worst is when u don’t feel them sizing u up because they already did & have allowed you to say a few words before making it clear to you that the conversation is over & they’re going to talk to someone important now. It’s especially bad if you haven’t finished your sentence.

I hated this about SF but could tolerate it. My wife could not tolerate it at all tho. We were both glad to leave.

BTW my claims about gear quality are backed by a ton of bro science. There’s a large subculture of testing this stuff. The last 20 years have seen massive leaps in quality.

A $30 Scrade or a cheapo multi tool is so much better than even 15 years ago. Japan paved the way and now the Chinese are crushing it on quality and price.

lol what are these tweets. Any given blister pack Buck knife at Bass Pro is better in quality than all but the highest end customs of 30yes ago. Most EDC gear is this way. We’re in a golden age of gear (menswear FWIW)

If you tried to send me, a rando, into battle with a whiz bang rifle that had gyros & computer aiming etc I would expect to die & instead beg you for an AK or an AR (of recent, quality make). It’s not a game & the tolerance for failure is zero.
