Chucks are definitely weird to me these days — I know they're supposed to be fancier, but the 70 models just aren't my fave, and the original with the slightly thinner soles just seem cheap. I don't hate either, but nor am I exactly happy with either. And yep, Vans has fallen off for sure.

Palladiums could be worth a look? Granted they only make the Pampas in hi top, but they're like rugged / militarized Chucks. I've had a blackout pair for years and they've held up really well. Comfy, too.

It’ll be interesting in the office tomorrow morning!

@ARNC you can check out anytime you like, but you can never leave…

[ARNC]

@goosehd it’s more the other way round and potentially more serious – no access to the office kitchen!

[goosehd]

@ARNC what ring of Dante’s hell do you work in?

I'm just thinking of office inferno situations now. "Over here next to the panderers and seducers, we have the lunch stealers and the fish microwavers."

I feel like UPS is running a scam at this point. I'm already pissed enough about the tariff situation and the loss of de minimus tax exemptions but UPS charging a ~$40 brokerage fee just to get a package in the country on top of the tariffs is the icing on the cake. This was for $100 pair of Mykita sunglasses I bought my wife from Japan (no to mention that the seller neglected to inform me that they had prescription lenses in them):

@Clint_D sorry mate, but welcome to the real world. Some of us have been fucked over for years…

[Sir_Cuffs-a-Lot]

Yup….

@flannel-slut gonna put that on your belt loop buddy?

[flannel slut]

@Matt I would rather shout, “SPEAK W A REPRESENTATIVE” while waiting on hold for 2 hours than go through the experience of securing another one of those little fuckers.

@flannel-slut Imma be honest, I thought that was an edible.

[flannel slut]

@ZackB hilarious and not exactly edible

@flannel-slut I looked it up, don’t eat that hahaha
