what’s wrong with just texting

If you have friends in another country, it might cost a quarter every time you send a message.

In regions of the world (e.g. Europe, and a lot of Asia) where some countries are the size of a large city (or perhaps the entire country is one city), that’s a problem. You’d be sending international texts all day every day.

There really isn’t. For example web browsers can execute assembly now and a good “web developer” (I’d call them a software engineer) will use assembly where appropriate.

However, good luck getting a towel draped onto your body - you’ll look like you’re in a sack.

Hooded towels are totally a thing. And they’re awesome.

they can’t fire you for wearing shorts.

True, but they can disrespect you for failing to fit in with the corporate culture. Honestly, I’d rather be fired.

There are plenty of workplaces where you can wear “whatever you want”, and I’m happy to work at one of those… But the clothes you choose to wear still has consequences. I can totally turn up to work in a full suit/tie/etc if I want. But I’d stick out like a sore thumb.

Look in a big box clothing store and you’ll see that the women’s section is almost always 2 to nearly 3x larger

What do they sell in the men’s section? Genuinely curious because as a man I never shop for clothes…

Years ago, I found a brand and model (yes, they have a model number) of pants that fit well and have lots of pockets. I have them in long/short, and black/blue/tan. I wear a uniform shirt at work (it’s totally optional, but about half the staff wear them and I find they puts me in “work mode” mentally). My partner buys my shirts, because she tolerates me owning half a dozen pairs of the same pants but will not tolerate it for shirts.

My fashion choices are my shoes, my watch, my glasses, my phone, and my haircut. All four are the same every day but every six months or so I change one. That’s enough for me. I think it’s incredibly freeing to not have to worry about what I look like every day.

prices are just to high right now

They’re not likely to get lower.

Humans do lots of crazy things. Why do people like to jump out of airplanes for example?

Why do we smoke cigarettes?
