I like Intimissimi Uomo’s designs but they don’t produce in Europe. Colorful Standard is nice. There’s CDLP if on sale.

I think he wanted to legitimise video games as on par with traditional media like movies and books. As in “are video games art?”

It was hard to make a hood that fits a trilby underneath. They simply didn’t have the technology /s

It is not possible to comfortably wear anything else today than a baseball cap or a bucket hat if you can pull it off. Maybe panama hat if it’s hot outside.

I just want to be adequately protected from the sun while following the societal expectations of dress.

I feel like in Italy they still kept that mindset and it shows by how people are dressed in the street. Judging by the comments it’s not so common to think that way any more.

I like clothes. When flying was a bigger deal people would dress up. With the democratisation of air travel, nobody does any more. Still, in my head it’s an “excuse” to dress up due to the old etiquette. It feels good to me to arrive at a new place and look put together while I’m at it.

Everyone should be able to talk about their current employer as openly as Hays here

To me the problem is ideological. If you buy the a world ETF - like WEBG - 60% of the stocks in it are American. You read all the news about those companies being shitty and yet to get the best return on your income you need to invest in them.

There’s also CEUG (EU stocks without “unsustainable” companies, from European company Amundi) but then you balance with other regions and it’s “wrong” to have 100% home bias.

I remember once a night train startup mailed me that they are issuing bonds to help fund opening new connections. That was cool, as opposed to investing in Nvidia. Then again, investing with your heart is not the most minmaxed, so it’s wrong.

The total in the case is $942m. It’s also not the only major lawsuit. It’s still not a lot but the people commenting should at least read the article before posting. Be better than Reddit

A vast majority of the money, totaling $420m [of the $567m figure], will go towards treatment of harms Meta’s platforms have already caused, through the funding of “appropriate clinical or other behavioral health programs and professionals,” according to the order.

In addition, Meta was ordered to:
Eliminate “like” counts for users under 18
Ban push notifications for such users every day between 10:00 PM to 7:00 AM and to ban such notifications during the typical school year between 8:00 AM to 3:00 PM, except on weekends
Implement a mandatory usage limit for such users of 90 cumulative hours per month across Instagram and Facebook, or about three hours per day

[2008] One year earlier, the Polish sports ministry also made an attempt to address corruption within the Polish Football Association, but was threatened with suspension by FIFA, which forbids any form of government intervention.

FIFA is a different world

Yeah “just one line made in UK” is a common theme - Baracuta, Gola too. I feel like the easiest way to buy European clothes is to dress like you live in the 50s:

• welted shoes - e.g. Crockett & Jones, Goral, Trickers (?). Though that’s doing good across the board in Europe - TLB, Carmina, Berwick, Vass, J.M. Weston, Paraboot
• shetland sweaters: Jamiesons, Harley of Scotland, Bosie, William Lockie, Howlin

Also not strictly related and more US-centric article about running shoes (link to table with which running shoe brands own factories rather than subcontracting the manufacturing out): https://www.worseonpurpose.com/p/same-shoe-different-factory#who-actually-makes-their-own-shoes - NB also has a UK factory

The protests made me feel shame when being a tourist in a big city. At least agrotourism in the middle of nowhere is free from that

Well, ultra fast fashion is ultra fast. It doesn’t rely on a season to season trend cycle, but micro-trends that are constantly changing, making the stuff you just bought obsolete - you need to buy again!! /s. You can be disappointed by 6 months, but I’d wager UFF clothes are worn much less than that.

The market normalised frequent purchase of clothes for us consumers. No one treats buying clothes as seriously as buying say household electronics. No one treats repairs that seriously if replacing is so easy. So no one really ends up knowing what to look for on a garment that makes it high quality, since that’s “not necessary”. One podcast I’m listening to says “clothes should be expensive”.

I wish there was an easy way to appraise clothes before you buy them. I wish people would care if they’re getting ripped off or not. Go ahead and start a five e-mail thread from the store you’re thinking about buying from. You can’t know how much of a good deal a garment is by looking at it. If you take a pair of cotton trousers into your hands you can’t know what’s the staple length of the cotton or what’s the dyeing method used. What % of price went to pay the workers a living wage? What % towards the fabric? How much % extra am I paying for better finishing?

With pants if there’s elastane in the mix it makes the fabric less durable. If you get crotch blowouts look for trousers with a crotch gusset. Consider looking for brands that list the fabric weight, since the fatter the fabric the more friction it can take before it develops a hole. With shoes I don’t really know what to say without going into goodyearwelted shoes that cost 2-3x that.

Salomon Group is also owned by Finnish Amer sports, which in turn is 44% owned by Chinese Anta Sports and 4.5% by Tencent.

350kmh bahaha this is bullshit. They can’t even implement ETCS2/GSM-R on Warsaw-Białystok to increase the speeds to 200 km/h despite the track being adapted to those speeds.

Does it even fit the me_irl theme too?

While we’re at it, let’s also add “What is your resppnse to her?” at the end of the title to boost engangement for the shareholders

Messi wasn’t telling the ref what Cucurella said. Covering your mouth while speaking is a red card offense because players would say slurs and didn’t want others to be able to lip-read. Cucurella wasn’t doing that, he briefly tapped his lips to gesture that his teammate got hit in the mouth. Messi raised his hand as if Cucurella covered his mouth to say a slur - to get him sent off the pitch and get an unfair advantage.
