/fa/ - Fashion

Here's some tips from the archive:
>Always buy all white duvets, pillowcases, sheets instead of ones with garish print. They won't clash with the furniture and will actually make the room look more open. Look at all the "comfy" rooms in this thread ... what do you notice they have in common? Fucking white bedclothes

>Make sure there's plenty of light, whether it be natural or otherwise. If you buy lamps, make sure they're higher (like a stand lamp) rather than lower (desk/bedtable lamp) and buy color-corrected, "natural light" bulbs instead of those disgusting yellow ones. Brushed aluminum or white powdercoated lamps like the ones you can get at Ikea for literally $10 don't clash with furniture. Actually really important because you have to spend so much time in your room, and proper lighting (and PROPER LIGHTBULBS) can actually help prevent clinical depression

>Put some plants in there. Plants make every room look and feel better. Succulents and snake plants are really easy to take care of.

>Don't leave your fucking lotions and books lying out all over. Keep your room tidy because it already looks so dingy because it's a fucking dorm.

>Cover the floor with cheap stuff like a bamboo mat or woven carpet. Don't use shag carpets, they'll just get disgusting, and again you have to choose stuff in a neutral tone.

>Hanging pictures on the wall makes it feel less like a cell but don't just tape up ugly movie posters. Look online for DIY ways to hang posters (like using those clamps clotheshangers) and then choose simple ones like black-and-white or low-contrast photos. Again, doesn't clash and also makes the room feel more homey/comfy.

/fa/ has always had a good amount of /pol/sters, it's just more apparent with Trump and the election, it comes and goes, I fucking hate politics but you have to remember when a person has access to protection of personal judgement from others they will take advantage of it (4chan being anonymous) (group/same political alignment protests) it's quite sad that people on both sides of the horseshoe spectrum are just reflections of personal experience and insecurity.

Now we’re essentially all consuming very childish things - comic books, superheroes… Adults are watching this stuff, and taking it seriously! It is a kind of dumbing down in a way. It’s taking our focus away from real-world issues. Films used to be about challenging, emotional journeys or moral questions that might make you walk away and re-evaluate how you felt about…whatever. Now we’re walking out of the cinema really not thinking about anything other than the fact that the Hulk just had a fight with a robot.

“A sweet-faced boy of 12 told me proudly that he had seen Star Wars over a hundred times. I said, ‘do you think you could promise never to see Star Wars again?’ He burst into tears. I just hope the lad, now in his thirties, is not living in a fantasy world of secondhand, childish banalities” _Alec Guiness

“To my mind, this embracing of what were unambiguously children’s characters at their mid-20th century inception seems to indicate a retreat from the admittedly overwhelming complexities of modern existence” _Alan Moore

Tip on learning to connect with others: Walk around and simply say 'hello' to people. This works well when you're shopping for example. Don't restrict yourself to beautiful women. Say 'hello' to older people, men, it doesn't really matter. You'll see that people either greet back, or they are too shy (like you used to be). You cannot be rejected for saying 'hello', thus this is a great way to start out. This exercise is probably one of the best because it's so simple to achieve success. Here the actual success is *saying* hello. Being greeted back is nice of course, but beyond your control. This is extremely important to remember. ONLY your actions can be a success. Never consider the lack of a response as a failure, because there can be a million reasons why someone doesn't respond the way you want/expect. Do this exercise a lot. It builds trust in yourself and you'll start to see patterns in how people respond. At some point it may become default for you to greet people that are near you. It's like martial arts: even though you may grasp the idea after a few tries, continuing to do this exercise will keep producing benefits.
