              I don't understand people that will not ship stuff "Internationally". If the buyer is willing to pay the full amount for shipping, what's the drama? It's a big world out there with countries/continents that exist just like yours…

              I've had bad experiences shipping knives overseas when I've sold them. Even though I make it clear that buyer assumes all responsibility if it gets lost/customs charges, I've had to deal with the online drama of the package being lost and it being my fault (it was not). I've also been hit with hundreds of dollars in customs charges because the buyer stiffed me on them. Now, I unilaterally do no ship knives overseas unless you're someone I know well.

              I know violence is not the answer, I got it wrong on purpose

                Trickhell, couldn't agree more, but I'm sure you know the general population there is like 16-24 year olds that worship N&F. That being said, it is a complete hivemind where even an objective or appropriate criticism is met with immediate negative response. It's just arbitrary internet politeness… although I do post there sometimes...

                  Agree with you guys, that place is very weird.
                  The Gustin / N&F / Lawless / Kickstarter circlejerk is way too strong.
                  Hence why I don't even bother posting over there. I mainly check it out if I need a laugh.

                    You went too far bro! C'mon, have some civility.
                    Also I absolutely hate the hashtag they came up with: #rawfie (like raw denim selfie)
                    Makes me cringe just thinking about it…

                      Reddit is where I go when I want to talk myself out of a denim purchase. Five minutes reading their shit and I just want to put sweat pants on and eat pizza.

                        I don't even do reddit at all anymore, haven't logged in in months.

                        It has its moments, they just don't happen on r/rawdenim or any of the fashion subs.

                        For that matter, I don't enjoy any forums outside of this one and some on Facebook.

                        Think it, be it.

                          Bingo (for me).

                            Sour beers are getting more popular, so more breweries are making them, and making more of them, which makes it very expensive for me when I go to the bottle shop.

                              American beers are getting more popular, so more shops are importing them, and selling more of them, which makes it very expensive for me when I go to the bottle shop.

                                Nothing like being halfway to the airport and getting a text informing you that your flight has been cancelled.

                                  Seriously? What airline was that? Would never want to fly them!

                                    The airlines can eat a fat one. That said, we have no other choice, so they've got us by the balls (and they know it).

                                      Southwest, which is actually one of the better airlines in the US.  To be fair, the weather in Houston has been Biblical.

                                        Agreed, in general Southwest is one of the better ones.

                                        Plus I have a Southwest credit card and a Marriott credit card, and I haven't paid for a vacation in forever thanks to the earned points.

                                          I had exactly that happen to me on the way to Heathrow on Sunday.  The plane had gone technical, I'd rather they did the checks that they needed to before I had to sit in it for 12 hours and I understand that having "spares, just in case" is cost prohibitive.  Shit happens, I just roll with it….

                                            Yeah, we went home and had a pretty decent day.  This is the first flight I've had cancelled on me in years, and given the flooding and meteorological mayhem we've had the last couple of days, it wasn't a huge surprise.  12 hours later, I'm sitting at the airport with a bit of deja vu, though.
