For the same reason, they walk faster, too.

Unless they’re “as seen in the hit TV show!” in which case it’s okay to tear those covers off.

“…and I gotta warn you, these fancy European hotels, they got the strangest names, so you better be careful about ordering your ticket. You don’t wanna miss it!” “Yeah sure.” “So the first part’s in January, at the Top Of The World, and the second’s next week, in Summer.” “…pardon?” “I said, it’s in January, at The Top Of The World, and-“ “Where in the world is January right next to summer?” “Oh they’re both 3rd floor.” “What? How’d I get on the 3rd floor?” “Well you gotta order your ticket, first.” “…in January?” “Yes.” “Okay, so I call the ticket office on January 1st and-“ “No no no, you’ll miss it! You gotta so it earlier than that or you’ll be late! You’ll wind up in Summer, next thing you know.” “I don’t know what I know and what I don’t!” “It’s so simple: in January, The Top Of The World.” “Am I doing drugs?” “Why would you be doing drugs?” “How else am I gettin to the top of the world?” “Why, with the stairs of course.” “…okay I think I got my wires all crisscrossed and such.” “Just remember: Summer’s later, January comes first.” “First time you’ve made sense today! So, I get my ticket…sometime, and I go and see the bands in…at…January?” “At January, yes.” “In summer?” “No, that’s next week. Now that one’s at the top of The World.” “…they got booze at the top of the world?” “Try telling me they don’t” “Good, I’m gonna need it. So when I’m in At January, I go-“ “No, January.” “That’s what I said.” “No that’s totally different. It’s happening in January.” “…at the top of the world?” “Yes.” “And just where do you figure that is?” “3rd floor.” “Why am I on third again?”

It’s like starting from scratch with every hobby: if you run out and buy the best of the best for every occasion without dipping a toe in, first, you’re going to be deep in the red for a while, if not until you run out of steam.

You can get a T shirt for $5-15 easily, but aside from bigger sizes/mens and womens, there’s not much deliberate variation you’ll see in mass produced stuff, so if you want clothes to really fit you, it helps to learn how to either alter them or make them yourself.

There are plenty of kits you can buy that have sewing patterns ready made. Here is an example. You follow the instructions and the patterns have some leeway in terms of customization. Play around with those and you start to figure out how the changes you make affect the clothing and how it fits.

“Anyone get get you coffee, but I can give those pants you love pockets” would honestly draw my attention. Funny in a non-crude way, expressing a creative hobby (conversation topic!) that solves a problem that women actually complain about (versus what is said they want)? Not a bad intro!

Double dipping with purses, executives often being men, and clothes looking svelter without pockets.

I know a lot of seamstresses, from quilters to knitters to stitchers.

Without fail, if they make their own clothes, they add pockets.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a woman in possession of clothes, must be in want of pockets.

Exactly. I don’t want or need to build another McDonalds or Starbucks; I just want to go to the Mom and Pop down the road without worrying if they’ll tank.

Was vlemmy.net one of those before it, ah, went off to see Titanic?

…which means you’ll have to be absurdly good at descriptions and being self-aware as to what you really want, and even then you’ll probably be both pleasantly and unpleasantly surprised.

How often does an experience, a food, a film, sound crazy good on paper but just ends up kinda meh, while something you stumbled upon is suddenly the best thing ever? We crave unique experiences; asking specifically for one doesn’t scratch that itch as well as just having one.
