There are a lot of people in the notes saying, basically, "Yeah, that's polyester for ya!"

but, the thing is

even polyester fabric was higher quality in the past

yes, not all of it, but, still, a noticeable amount of older polyester was...nicer.

yeah, it would still get picks and hold on to every bit of underarm odor, and that's on top of no-one knowing about microplastic shedding

but a 1950s Wash'n'Wear shirt, or 1970s double knit pantsuit, or 1980s neon sweatshirt, or a 1990s slinky knit or crushed velour mock turtleneck...so many of them would have been significantly higher quality than the fast fashion of today.

i work in historical costume. i work in a big-ass warehouse, with hundreds of thousands articles of clothing dating back over 100 years (for original pieces).

the BLINDING difference in clothing quality between even the 1990s and the mid-2000s...not even going in to the decline in quality of clothing made in natural fibers (jeans with elastane, i'm looking at you), I've got faux-leather trousers from 1980s that are in near-mint condition, even after being hired and worn repeatedly for the past 40 years. we get donations of clothing that shows and films have bought online for contemporary shows that are disintegrating after being used on one show, for like....10 days, max.

don't even get me started on the seam allowances we used to get in clothes, because the assumption was you'd alter it at some point...

they hate you. they hate the planet. they have drip fed you worse and worse quality clothing until you don't even realize you're being sold Garbage

I mean, in some very interesting Technically Correct ways, they didn't actually die? Now, they're very much no longer alive. But the forces involved are such that they didn't get any of the usual cellular processes of death, they simply went from biology to physics in less time than it takes a signal to travel down your optic nerve.

if you go from biology to physics without dying first you don’t go to heaven the uber driver went over this already

If you don’t let go of your prejudices and past grudges, your heart won’t blossom. 2013 is coming, let’s make a change. We only have one planet so let’s show each other some kindness.

the fact that you can have ads in your native phone apps nowadays is pissing me off. this looks like malware to me

two-wizards-in-a-trench-coat

non exhaustive list of things that piss me off in modern technology:

>ads in native software

>ads in PAYING non native software. what am I paying for

>honestly any ad that's more than a discreet banner. If you need the money that badly make me pay instead.

>unless a software is absolutely necessary to function it should never boot in the background by default. why do I have to deactivate a thousand guys

>Antimalware Service Executable. kill yourself this instant (windows)

>Non intuitive settings organisation

>Hidden path for some appData. why the FUCK is it hidden and why is it so difficult to disable this (windows)

-Nothing works reliably in the browser anymore. I don't want to download this many apps. why

-Windows 11 sucks so bad in its entirety

-The distasteful disappearance of the beautiful and mighty jack plug

-Batteries suck

I know that the answer is probably going to be "I don't know", but Laudna, our friend, is off your radar, connected to the threads, is she going to be okay?

I dont ask for much when it comes to TLOVM s5 but I truly want a cold open where before the new intro starts, we see Scanlan reacting to the Vox Machina submits to the Whispered One and Vax get's dusted.

Like i need it for my sanity, I need to see the weight of this little gnome who refused to be there for his friends get blind sighted by the full force that his actions indeed have consequences.
