Which seems tautological and from a pessimistic point of view can be re-interpreted as the loss of purpose. But still apt nonetheless.

What irks me the most about rationalists is their inability to acknowledge their own biases. The nicotine article linked was a series of citations linked by some commentary in between where the author immediately dismissed any sources that opposed their beliefs while backing their points with studies that had the same or worse methodological issues. A bit too much nitpicking to my taste, and a bit too much reliance on hiding behind seemingly scientific language.

I think his target audience is mostly underage people. This works great for him because the amount of video kids consume is insane. I’ve seen my nephew watch shorts on a phone while watching another long form video on tv and playing Roblox on his tablet, for hours and hours a day.

Fair point. Pockets in suits are the most useful though. Easy to access and don’t drag my pants down when using them.

Yeah sorry the womens clothes rant was a bit of venting off while speaking about clothing.

Regarding neck ties this was my only comment:

> Note: ties feel a bit useless but at least they hide my belly when movement slightly opens the shirt.

I also love my hoodies, but zippers do get stuck every now and then if there’s anything on the way or if you accidentally zip them without locking the bottom thingy. So I’d prefer some sort of hoodie with 4-6 big buttons that I think I’ve seen on the street but not in stores.

I also find ironing a waste of time. That’s why I only buy non iron shirts.

After writing this I wondered myself how sick would it be to be able to walk around in robes or togas. There must be a reason that kind of clothing has had so much success.
