- Comment on May or may not be based on some comments I've read 5 hours ago:
As a colourblind individual… What?
- Comment on Why do so many boomers and even some gen x believe so peristently that if you dressup and show up in person anywhere you will get whatever you went there for? 8 hours ago:
At the end of the day, it’s fashion – you may just not like them. It’s OK not to like suits, I’m not trying to push anyone here to like suits, I’m just saying they’re not stupid.
I mean, why wear chinos? Why wear blazers? It’s not like they’re “superior” garments or something, they just… Look nice! That’s it!
Suits are about showing that you care about what you wear and how you present yourself, because it’s intentional – you’re wearing matching pants and blazer, maybe even a matching vest on top of that – and that says that you meant to wear that, and didn’t just happen to wear it because you liked those pants and you liked that shirt. A suit is an outfit that looks like it’s meant to be worn as a single item: a suit. Not pants and a blazer; A suit!
That’s what makes it “special”, but it’s really just clothes.
Maybe when you think of “suit” you think of something like this:
But this is also a suit:
Do they look the same to you? Is it the same vibe? Do you think they fit the same and are equally as comfortable?!
HELL NO!! I wouldn’t want to wear that first skinny ass suit a single day in my life, but I think the second more relaxed suit looks very comfortable and reasonable, and something I could wear around without a problem.
Even if you still think both suits look bad, I hope this at least sheds some light on how not all suits are the same. What they do have in common is a cohesion that says that you meant to wear An Outfit^TM^, as opposed to putting on some pants and a jacket. Well, and they’re a little more formal than a t-shirt and jeans, too.
Something that I think might’ve also been a problem for you when suits were pushed on you was that maybe you weren’t wearing very good materials or very well-made stuff. I don’t mean to say that I know your upbringing, but odds are you were forced to wear poorly-made polyester clothes that draped weird, didn’t breathe well, and felt weird on the skin – that’s not exactly a good way to get a kid (or anyone, frankly…) to enjoy wearing anything.
I, at least, for the longest time, hated wearing collared shirts! Why? Not sure, but I assume a reason for that was that I was forced to wear them to church growing up and I hated both church and being forced to wear anything! Also, I was wearing shitty shirts that felt horrible to wear, regardless of occasion. Maybe you went through something similar.

Suits aren’t stupid! There’s casual suits, for one, and really there’s suits for basically every occasion… There’s so many different fits, different materials, different cuts…
That’s just such a violent generalization, I simply can’t stand by and say nothing.
Maybe the idea you have of a “suit”, in your mind, sucks balls, but suits certainly don’t suck balls.

You’d probably make a mess… But sure, I guess.
- Comment on Tabletop convection oven 6 days ago:
That’s fair. Will I die from microplastic exposure? Perchance.
- Comment on Tabletop convection oven 6 days ago:
I use a Tupperware rice cooker and it works really well.
- Comment on Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others? 1 week ago:
IDK… I dress how I like, so for myself, I guess.

The red arrow is pointing at Mars? Is this a pro-Mars post?
- Comment on Who got raptured today? 3 weeks ago:
Yes! I did get swiftly kicked out.

Idiot
- Comment on He died doing what he loved. 5 weeks ago:
Dumbass. I don’t give a fuck if your fucked up country wants your children dead. I didn’t kill your children, and I didn’t make your dumbass laws, you fucking dumbass.
I don’t want to see people being murdered on my feed. That’s why I filtered out NSFW. Go fuck yourself.
- Comment on He died doing what he loved. 5 weeks ago:
Why the fuck would you post this without tagging NSFW?
- Comment on I might teach a class about this and have the lesson get steadily worse and worse. 5 weeks ago:
Now you’ve GOTTA be fucking joking me lmfao

That’s really funny, and sad…
Why aren’t you using an adblocker, though?

Undertandable. A fantastic addition to my feed, too!!
- Comment on oven 1 month ago:
Ah, a classic!
- Comment on It is. Just accept it 1 month ago:
That does not sound sustainable or pleasant. You could most definitely get some sort of apprenticeship down the line and work a job with high demand and better career prospects.

Incredible reply. Simply brilliant.
- Comment on cycle 1 month ago:
IDK dude, I don’t have a menstrual cycle and I don’t care about when I’m most horny. So, I don’t need an app for this, but maybe for someone else it might be useful. I don’t know!
- Comment on cycle 1 month ago:
YOOOOOOOOOO INSCRYPTION!
- Comment on cycle 1 month ago:
That’s a menstrual cycle thing, though, right? A bit different from skin-temperature rings, I’d wager.

Aha!
- Comment on If copyright on a work expired immediately after death, would be that a bad or good idea? 1 month ago:
That’s not «the benefits of labour» being passed on to your children, is it? That’s what you own being passed on to your children… And it’s taxed! Maybe it would be a good idea to have taxes on inherited IP, though. Then again, if the taxes are at or above 50% then wouldn’t that mean that the state would inherit control over the IP, hence making it public domain? Meh.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
Yeah because frankly I was kind of feeling like this might’ve been one of those “make it black and white to make it look older than it actually is” type scenarios…
