Post a controversial opinion

that isn't hypocrisy, that's a poor misreading of what hypocrisy is by the person that utters it

yep

Even nihilists look both ways before crossing the street.

"some communists RATM are, they accept payment for their CDs!"

FWIW, I feel like most of the rampant hypocrisy that people are engaged in almost all of the time is nothing catastrophic. It's mostly like: my self-perception is not a wholly accurate reflection of my engagement with the world. It's just important imo to be aware that these things will always be at least a little out of sync and to always be tweaking.

Most things are nothing catastrophic fyi

Thank u, I have updated my i

I guess in one sense it's better to know what's right and not do it then to not know what's right and not do it.
I think there's a solid case to be made that the former is worse than the latter!

Björk is unlistenable

I don't want to listen to her but I suppose other people do.

not many people feel that way
(at least i'm keeping with spirit of thread)

you should actually believe it.
oops n/m

Fucken millennials, man, I tell ya. Not enough soaring WHOOOAAAA-OHHHH-OHHH-OHHHHHS and autotuning for you, I suppose. When I was your age, etc.

bjork is really good but agree w/ 'unlistenable'

There are some moments where I love her but I'll admit that it's a struggle for me to get through a bjork album :(

I want to listen to her but my ears stop working whenever she's on.

I am willing to forgive police officers involved in fatal shootings of unarmed people if they admit their culpability, face reasonable consequences for their actions, don't attempt to blame the victims of their actions, and the victims' families forgive them.

waistcoats are shit. they're twee formal gilets, the apotheosis of try-hard retrograde Gentleman's Fashion. they're basically steampunk.

Occasionally used to wear them when I was younger and didn't look like a twat. I think Dr. Feelgood pulled it off though.

i made the error of buying one with a jacket a few years ago. if i think of it just as a jacket accessory it's tolerable but the idea of wearing it by itself is revolting

handy for snooker

I think I still have some left over from a time when I worked in lots of different offices as a roving consultant. I didn't always know whether I was going into a formal business-wear situation, a casual creative one, or a mix of the two.

If I wore a suit (or nice separates) and tie, I'd be overdressed among graphic designers and IT nerds. But if I wore a polo and chinos I'd be underdressed among finance and BD/sales. Vest (with or without tie) could go either way.

Nowadays I wear the t-shirt I slept in and work over Skype, so my grownup clothes wait in a closet for the next funeral.

just caught myself browsing "john virgo waistcoat" on GIS, imagined what someone wld think of me if they glanced at my phone, and decided to stage an intervention on myself

"john virgo waistcoat"

good lord why subject yourself to that

inexplicably fond childhood memories of big break

I do too, Ogmor.

Did you guys know he has an app and is planning to open a vegan restaurant

how does he not have his own line, he's missing a trick

No! Did read somewhere both Virgo and Thorne lost tens of thousands in gambling. Thorne is ruined iirc. xp

I'm going to be snookering you tonight

rowr

how does he not have his own line, he's missing a trick

Piscador's John Virgo collection appears to have been discontinued, but there are some reasonable deals on ebay: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=john+virgo+piscador&_sacat=0

soref you have distinguished yourself yet again

love this label

oh a waistcoat is a vest? yeah, hard pass on that one

ControOp: men's clothing options are mostly dumb.

hard disagree on that one. more men should wear suits. more people should wear suits. or at least blazers & ties

suits are nice-looking and feeling but way too fussy for daily use

and it should go without saying that it's silly to be prescriptive about outfits that are prohibitively expensive for many

i agree but price is no object in blazers & ties you can get a good look going at any thrift store off a highway exit for less than fifty dollars. you don't need to get a tailored suit you just need to scour thrift stores that are very far away from art schools

u ever hear someone pronounce it "wesket"

If you conform well to standard proportions, maybe? idk what that's like

all of my efforts to fashion together a suit from constituent parts in thrift stores have been abject failures for this reason, unless I pay extra to have the clothes altered and at that point I might as well fuckin buy new. so frustrating

honestly the Gap is the only retail clothing store you need to go to for relatively affordable slacks & shirts & blazers. but better to just get slacks there, maybe shirts, and look for a nice blazer at thrift stores, Goodwills, and rural thrift stores

xp thrift stores have like every size imaginable ime. usually way too big 4 me. i get most of my shit in the women's section, especially for jackets

but prescriptive suits/dress codes = dud. you should only wear a suit if you feel comfortable in it, as in, you feel most like yourself.

but we can all agree sweatpants/shorts/SANDALS on airplanes = dud
