So I haven't got an apartment yet and I've already worn all of my work suitable shirts. Can't find a launderette about. Any ideas what I should do? I guess washing my shirts in the sink is better than nothing... With or without soap?- all I have is body soap...

On Paradox OT there's people who actually identify as libertarian socialists. The Cleansening cannot come quickly enough.

What Would Putin Do?

Invade the room next door and take their shirts.
Not my style

Well that, OR go shirtless. Which is what I recommend you do.

I suggest skipping the middleman of ruining your old shirts, and just buying a new shirt right away.

[Liep]

Buy new shirts, sounds like you don't have enough anyway. And how hard can it really be to find a launderette? Aren't you in a big city?

What's more pathetic:  using a blanks-firing replica weapon, or getting into bar fights over ass in high school from 2007?

A man fired a handgun on South Charles Street in Federal Hill amid a fight that happened after the bars closed early Saturday morning, according to police.

The gun, a 9MM Ekol Volga, is thought to be a "blank gun" that makes a sound like a gun but does not fire a bullet, according to an email sent by Southern Police District Commander Major Ian Dombroski, Commander of the Southern Police District, to the Federal Hill Neighborhood Association. The gun still needs to undergo ballistics testing to confirm that, he wrote.

Police spokesman Det. Jeremy Silbert confirmed Dombroski's email.

Three men got into a dispute in a bar in the 1000 block of S. Charles St. just before 2 a.m., which led to two of the men assaulting another man outside after the bar closed, according to the email. A suspect fired one shot, then tried to run away, but police arrested the two suspects and recovered the gun. The victim had minor injuries and was treated on the scene.

"This incident stems from an ongoing dispute from 2007 in high school over a female," Dombroski wrote. All the men involved were in their mid-20s.

No one was struck by gunfire and it was not immediately clear whether the man who fired the gun intended to shoot the victim, Dombroski wrote. Charges are still pending against the suspects.

Where are you staying? Ask them. I've had to wash clothes in a sink for months at a time; effective enough but buy some proper laundry detergent. Hang on a hanger to dry especially if you don't have an iron.

The hotel people don't know.
I guess I will have to try and find somewhere to but some cheap shirts if I can get out of work early enough. Most of my clothes are still in transit.

The boyfriend of a colleague has a special way to "iron" a shirt for the few times a year he has to wear one (he's a design engineer). After washing it, he will place it on the floor (or any other flat surface) for drying while smoothing it out as much as possible.

[Ideologue]

I just take it out of the dryer and hang it up.  Seems to work well enough, and beats the $15-30 a month I was paying for the service, which was also destroying my shirts by shrinking them into neck tourniquets.

[Syt]

I usually iron a shirt on the morning (they're on hangers otherwise), though I do make sure I get "Easy Iron" labelled ones.

If I feel fancy I may use starch.

[Josquius]

I....ron?

I too mostly just hang them up straight away.
Occasionally if they are particularly bad I have taken them into the shower and left the extractor fan turned off.

[Zanza]

I give it to the laundry service and get it back starched and ironed. Fuck ironing.
