Personally, I find even a lace edge or covering to be unpleasant for a whole day of wear, since the seam to sew it on is typically directly against the skin and it’s scratchy more often than not. Especially bad are the ones that have the lace covering and fold it over the under-cup edge to sew it on, cuz it tends to be really low quality lace and also tends to have the weave stretched open which makes it scratchier.

It’s personal comfort threshold stuff, ofc, but there’s a reason most bras are super basic. Especially since nobody really sees them most of the time.

Most bras, from most retail options, are of the basic, comfortable variety, regardless of size. You sort of have to intentionally look for the lace ones (unless you shop in stores made primarily for sex appeal like Victoria’s Secret - the secret is people don’t typically wear that crap).

Having lace daily rub your nipples, underboob area, or under arm area, leads to chafing and is really unpleasant.

And most bras, despite being super expensive, aren’t made with high quality materials, so lace doesn’t last for shit.

You couldn’t make the original Star Wars trilogy today because Disney owns it and would sue you into oblivion.

You couldn’t make morbius today because it was perfect the first time and should just be re-released.

Do you think the creatures brought up from the depths in these things get freaked the fuck out seeing everything at the surface after living in near total darkness their whole lives?

Like holy shit the amount of visual stimulation is probably intensely painful.

It also serves to keep people isolated, and prevents kids from forming lasting relationships that can later be used to discuss and compare issues and organize.

Honestly it’s just so useful. It should be the default.

I picked it up when I lived in Houston, but when I was bartending and stuff after returning to my home state, I’d use it heavily.

Interestingly, though, it made people think I was from another country entirely? Because in absolutely no other way do I sound even remotely southern. (I do use various non-American slang, but not with strangers) Was always a blast to have someone ask where I was from, and try to get them to pinpoint why they didn’t think I was local, when I was born 15 minutes from where the conversation was taking place :p

I’m adjusting to an entirely different chain of grocery store due to one opening in my town finally (no grocery store before).. one that I’ve never liked much.

I hate it very much. I can’t find anything, they don’t have the shit I want, it just sucks all around.

At least it’s closer I guess.

Yes, there is. It’s called superbia. Looks like it was founded in 2019.

As always, I am disturbed by the breadth of knowledge of other people, and simultaneously elated that people know things and share them.

I guess if you are already with them you can overlook it because it’s easier, but I certainly wouldn’t encourage new people to be potentially swindled along with you, wtf?

Certainly not with an “eh”, like that’s normal shit to have happen (it isn’t at all, for the record)… comparing it to a more egregious actor doesn’t help your case either.. those bad things are still really bad even if someone else is worse.

How did random low level call center employees even manage to steal that much, if not poor organizational security?

Ooh I hope to retain your optimism in the next few years…
