Once I went to a baseball game and I wore a pink shirt that I bought at a gas station on the way there, it had bright blue flowers and robins on it. Nothing about that shirt was cool. It was also too small. I recently came across a picture of me in that shirt. Bad haircut. Dumb sunglasses. Too-small ugly shirt. I think the guys with me was embarrassed. It never occurred to me to be embarrassed.
These days I go mostly with black—black t-shirts, black jeans, black coat. I'm not any cooler than the doofus in the dumb shirt and I don't give more of a shit about how I look, but this what's working now.

black boots/sneakers that I don’t mind getting scuffed up like timbs/goretex converse when it’s cold out, or adidas superstars, black straight leg or slim jeans, black t shirt/flowy button up. This is usual club fare for me
If I’m at a restaurant I always wear a white or preppy blue button up, dark jeans or slim chinos + brown boot or loafer
I dress to blend and go with something pedestrian rather than statement pieces I guess but this is kind of my personal style, I don’t say much with going out outfits
Side note I got heavy into personal style and fashion in high school and was severely online but sidelined for millennial gen fashion trends, I think this is why I’m aggressively anti anti fit and need a slim pant

i've come to terms with the fact that i kind of only wear jeans with a button down and a sweater + the same shoes every day. it bothered me for a while but now i love how much mental energy it frees up. matching the color of my sweater to a fun pair of socks is the perfect amount of daily self expression for me, i don't need any more

they're just pretty bog standard clothes man. Sometimes It's hard to find default clothes. These ones are as default as it gets in my book, while still fitting well and looking decent. I like wearing that default stuff and then styling it up, cause being generic makes me feel more normal than wearing prominent brands

this is worthy of celebration: the lack of video—autoplay video, noisy inane video, panicky video, algorithmic, dumb video, rabbit hole video, any video—on pi.fyi is a good thing

this is going to hurt — A LOT — but it's getting to the point where there's no other option
