Covid proved there's no social fabric so I'm not obligated to pretend there is

Broke: wearing sweats in public

Woke: wearing the same sweats in public for multiple days in a row because you are thriving

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 year ago (1 children)

40% of the mass of a good pair of sweatpants should be microbial

Thanks most horrific thing I've read this morning

These are the same people who get mad if you put your elbows on the table or sit down to eat with a hat on. I wish my life was so simple that I had the energy to give things like that a second thought.

One of my dad's wives was a Brit and I learned about the headwear thing from her. I never encountered it before. She pulled a face when I come to the dinner table wearing a baseball cap. She didn't even make a sentence. She just said "Your cap..." and she got even more annoyed I didn't understand what she meant. I took it off because I didn't want to get in an argument. I just wanted to eat.

I never thought of her as my step-mother. I always thought of her as my dad's wife.

I’ve been yelled at for leaning forward to drink from a straw instead of picking the cup up and bringing it to my mouth. Like how about you take your hand and shove it up your ass

classism, racism, the usual suspects

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Really? I always thought of it as an upper class white girl thing.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It’s racism because when they do it no one cares, but when poc do it we’re considered trashy.

I surprised myself by how much respect I lost for a friend when they were disgusted by someone for wearing street clothes at the gym.

I draw the line at jeans on the beach

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Depends on the beach. You go to a cold rainy pacific northwest Beach you're gonna want those jeans.

I'm more concerned about the people wearing their actual pajamas places. Like nooooooooo you're going to get your bed sheets dirty!

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago (5 children)

I'm constantly fascinated by people who wear clothing to bed

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

gotta wash sheets more often if you sleep naked. also harder to get out of bed in the morning when it's cold. i've started wearing pajamas

I sleep naked. the pajamas are for lounging around or doing a quick grocery store run

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 year ago

who said anything about the bedsheets touching the pajamas? if i have them on why would i need to get below the sheets?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Weird freaks like Donald Trump Jr. probably wear a suit to a grocery store.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Only two prominent people I know who wear a suit to everything is John List and Jordan Peterson.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago

And that guy from the tv. Barney Rubble of something

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

But Jordan Peterson only wears weird suits, too. I don't even get it.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm going to go grocery shopping dressed like a Napoleonic cavalier after church on Sunday and make disapproving faces at all the boomers wearing suits.

Death to America

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago

maybe the someone in question is a fuckhead Zionist senator who mocks protestors and they are latching onto dress as an admittedly misguided attack vector

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I haven't heard any complaints

Isn’t athleisure wear one of the worst offenders for microplastics in clothing?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

Not exactly the fault of consumers. All the shit we wear is toxically made and toxically disposed of. The recommendation I read was to not use dry detergent with synthetic fibers since it is more abrasive and more gets into the water.

the only correct outfit is a collared shirt and dress pants

less than that? you're poor

more than that? overdressed, why do you want attention so bad?

The same people still think that proper etiquette means five different spoons and forks for a single meal

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That's literal bourgeois behaviour, does anyone even do that these days, even the bourgeoisie?

Clothing should in a way express your feelings and the way you see yourself relating to the world no? It's called honesty bucko

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Do we really want to support that behavior though? All the libs and Republicans will come out in white sheets.

I wear the same shirt and same sweat pants for the whole week and they’re black so the food and other stains aren’t visible
