Ironically I bought some Old Navy clothes literally 20+ years ago, size “L”. Old Navy is definitely fast fashion. Just basic T-shirts and a couple pairs of shorts. They see semi-regular wear, still fit and are in good shape, good material, sized correctly. That wouldn’t happen with anything I could buy there today.
I’ve found the opposite. I have older pairs of jeans that are a smaller waist size that still fit and newer jeans that don’t. Shirts, too. I’ve been “L” for decades, now it’s “XL” or the sleeves and shirt are too short.
IMO manufacturers used to pre-wash/pre-shrink their fabrics more regularly. Now they don’t. They can make more clothing by the yard with non-shrunk fabric. So as soon as that ”L” shirt hits dryer it shrinks. The XL shrinks to L. I verified this by placing two shirts, pre- and post-wash, and the size difference was obvious. Maybe some “vanity” sizing is going on, too, or just being cheap. I haven’t gotten taller, but the L size is too short now.
Just making up more BS. It used to be hypocrisy didn’t matter anymore. Now it’s just straight up lies don’t matter.
I’m aware of that. I can’t believe people are arguing for it.
A quick google translate
How do you enforce jurisdiction?
That sounds like a feature, not a bug.
They tolerate it because it’s easy, they can copy-paste, and they need even less critical thought about the output than having to search for and choose what might be a viable source of decent information.
The issues aren’t bugs. They’re acceptable flaws in the search for investment capital.
“Racism” would have been fine. I get trying to keep the three-letter theme going, but the KKK isn’t some organized and widespread group in a leadership role. Plenty of white-power, and or nationalist groups around that want to keep darker skinned folks out or under the boot that aren’t KKK.
Because psychologically people are far less likely to run a stop than roll through a crosswalk with someone still in it, you know there’s a big fine for blowing a stop vs failing to yield which, plainly in this very video clip, nobody is likely to get ticketed for. And you completely sidestepped the maintenance and cost issues with this system. Guaranteed this thing is broken quickly and often.
Whatever. Y’all got some messed up logic.
Considering people were just fine buying bubbly pink meat chicken nuggets from McD’s until the press decided it was their clickbait du jour I don’t think it would be a problem. I buy Impossible nuggets fairly often, they’re great. Wish they were a little cheaper.
There is no perfect system. This ridiculous and complex system is a maintenance nightmare, and following your logic, it’s just as possible someone will hit it.
This ridiculous pop-up crosswalk is a rube goldberg stop sign. Overly complex and definitely is something that will take plenty of maintenance to keep clear and operating correctly. Imagine if all or part were to fail in the “up” position. The only benefit is operation on-demand vs a small inconvenience to drivers and a large increase in safety to pedestrians.
For the purposes of this discussion, a stop sign is easily the correct solution and a minor inconvenience. Either that, or station an officer there randomly and rake in the ticket fees for failing to yield to a pedestrian in the crosswalk.
Yeah, this. A half century of playing power games at the expense of the people. Not just him, but all the dems as they’ve slid further right. Too many of them content to play power games at the expense of the country, letting us argue over pronouns, bathrooms, and crosswalks while they quietly take a knee and kiss the ring for their corporate benefactors. Utter failure to shore up protections against trump even after it was painfully obvious that people like him were going to get elected.
Yeah, Joe did do some decent things, same as Obama, but both of them were the failed barriers that allowed the Right to be the fascists they are now, particularly by letting McConnel and the republicans to prevent nominations to the Supreme Court, essentially capturing the judicial branch and taking trump’s leash off.
Put a stop sign up. No need for the ridiculously complex system. A simple stop sign would do.
Yes, this is what s/he is saying. They set an undefined and therefore unattainable standard for the purposes of this argument.
So you’ve put me in a place where the restrictions you impose on the argument make it impossible to prove by a) rejecting the provided evidence, b) saying it’s “feeling” even though I cited evidence and offered the opinion that it’s not good enough just because what? It showed up in search results?, c) declined to provide any counter evidence by your own.
No, we cannot know the unknown for the purposes of this discussion, but the preponderance of the evidence points to men being more likely to engage in violence against women, and women are less likely to report it. So by sheer numbers, it is likely (note this is the second time I used conditional language) that it is weighted towards women underreporting. Per capita (crime per person per report)? Not a clue.
Yes, I repeat my conclusion because I am making my argument, seeing as you provided nothing to refute other than opinion, not trying to do your job and prove yours for you.
Sexual assaults on women not reported
https://womenfamilies.org/why-most-sexual-assaults-are-not-reported/
Domestic abuse goes unreported by women
Ergo, if we dig into the data and a) women underreport more crimes against them, or b) everyone’s crimes go underreported and the ratio remains the same.
I’m far more inclined to think more crimes go unreported against women because men tend to be the aggressors far more often.
And I have to add the caveat that I am NOT trying to detract from crimes against men AT ALL during this discussion.
He just said that. Why did you repeat it?
The voted for war against lgbtq people, libs, “illegals”, science, the constitution, “woke”, the economy, and whatever else. They just didn’t plan on real war that doesn’t benefit them in any selfish way.
We have working models. The difference is the Chinese can say “make it happen”, and they do it. In the US they say, “Gimme lots of investment capital and how can I profit massively off of this?” so it goes nowhere quick.
Maybe we should call them “AI power dirigibles” and people will put some money into it.
