Why is it that you people can never scroll past the first option? The prices here go down to $90...

If you don't want a fair isle, don't get one, they're not hurting you.

So... Updates to Google messages, updates to WearOS, an update to AndroidTV, a few updates to Google proprietary apps, and one or two updates to the actual Android operating system.

there's an "RCS Test App" in AOSP that nobody has managed to transform into a practical piece of software...

Hamas's goal is not to make you think they're the good guys, their goal is to eradicate Israel and the Jewish people, and/or to die trying. They've been turning sentiment in their favor.

Plenty of people argue that Hamas is not a terrorist organization.

Israel is relatively popular in the US, but younger Americans and many circles within academia are rabid antizionists, as I think you've seen. Many are calling to "globalize the intifada."

Hamas has not succeeded in making the average westerner think terrorism is good, but they have succeeded in normalizing terrorism, making more people think that "terrorism" is an Islamophobic term, making more people think that Israel does not have the right to exist, and emboldening antisemites on the right and left. Younger generations are more and more aggressively antizionist as time goes on.

Settler expansion is a problem that's more complicated and less exciting to people than the war. It makes sense that antizionists want us to focus on the war and just use settler expansion for color.

This study from the GWU Program on Extremism is an important read on the topic of Hamas's presence in the US over time.

My electric toothbrush works in four 30-second increments. Each 30 seconds is plenty of time for me to cover a quadrant. I slowly go over the outside, inside, top/bottom, gums in each quadrant. Maybe if I was meticulously brushing each tooth one by one, I could see the issue, but that's not necessary, is it?

I mostly share Frugal Aesthetic videos because I think he's funny, but yeah, Reigning Champ and that whole family of brands, those seem to be what people like.

oh hey there, I recognize you

So, it's worth noting that a decent cobbler can resole even cemented shoes most of the time.

But nicer shoes:

a) are actually worth resoling, because good leather ages better over time
b) are easier to resole again and again because of other construction features I'm not going to delve into

It's also worth noting that the oversimplified "tiers of leather" advice you've probably heard about "genuine leather" vs "full grain" vs whatever the other tiers were is more or less made up, and that understanding what makes leather good is... complicated, so it helps to either know the tannery (brands that name the tanneries they get their leather from are usually at least pretty good) or get recommendations from people who know better.

But RW IRs are really solid boots, enjoy.

I mean, it's the financial times, it's not for people like us.

archive.to is for people like us.

 

I figured I'd do a full WAYWT thread to see what you all are wearing today / wore over the past few days or weeks or whatever / are wearing this week / until this thread gets buried. If you don't normally take fit pics, consider taking one for Thanksgiving, or whatever.

Let's see what kind of vibes we've got going here!

Eveningwear makes me happy. It's tailoring that's exclusively for parties. No business: just weddings, galas, holiday parties, fancy dinner parties... It's a symbol of celebration, and here, I'm going to celebrate it. This is the first album, and the simplest—classic black tie.

 

Over the past twenty years fast fashion has spurred unbridled consumerism, with disastrous consequences for the environment and human rights. In this time period, companies like Sweden’s H&M and Spain’s Zara have gone from middle-size purveyors of inexpensive clothing to juggernauts that operate thousands of stores across the world. In the last ten years they have been joined by new entrants such as UK’s BooHoo, America’s Fashion Nova, and most notably the Chinese giant Shein, which has undergone explosive growth in the past few years. All efforts to stop them have failed. It is now time for governments to step in and regulate fast fashion the way it has regulated Big Tobacco and the automotive industry. By pumping out vast amounts of clothing in countries where labor laws are lightly regulated, fast fashion companies have become some of the worst offenders when it comes to sustainability and ethical labor practices. Shein is a particularly egregious example because its operations are centered in China, which allows it to keep its manufacturing practices completely opaque and away from the eyes of Western regulatory agencies. Meanwhile, on the consumer end, the amount of textile waste generated by the developed world has reached truly staggering amounts. According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, in 2018 Americans discarded 17 million tons of textiles, most of which came in the form of trashed garments. Much hand-wringing has been done to lament this sad state of affairs, and much blame has been put on the companies themselves. Fast fashion firms have enabled the shift in consumer mentality that has turned clothes-shopping into an addictive form of entertainment, making disposability the norm. Some of the blame should also fall on fast fashion consumers who treat shopping as a competitive sport, buying and discarding clothes at a historically unprecedented rate. According to a 2019 report by the UN Alliance for Sustainable Fashion, “The average consumer buys 60 percent more pieces of clothing than 15 years ago. Each item is only kept for half as long.”

One simple and fundamental question has been keeping these groups divided for a long time: how should pants fit?
