Mildly Interesting

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

If you tie it that tight you'll feel the blood pounding in your head and feel like you are suffocating. I can't imagine someone making it that tight and not immediately loosening it.

Is the merging of words in multiple places in that article due to how my browser is rendering it, or are the spaces actually missing? A copy+paste suggests the latter. It's almost as bad as leaving out the Oxford comma.

It is supposed to be a tie, not a hangman's noose.

Plus it makes you look like a fucking douchebag tool. Fuck a tie.

Neck ties are over. They used to be central to mens' fashion. Now if you wear one it's because you have to, which denotes low status. Like, the worst is chinos, a cheap shirt and tie, with a windbreaker instead of a blazer. Also: black sneakers. For some crazy reason, it's actually higher status to wear designer sweats around.

The look for business is slacks, a good pressed shirt, a fitted blazer with no shoulder pads, and NO TIE. Top neck button undone. It's also more comfortable. Even top execs are dressing like this. Ties are only necessary in the most formal occasions.

I like wearing neckties to family parties because they remind me of my godfather

Couldn’t care less about business
