He’s the token white dude!

Hmm, space is a little different because so many products are one-offs. It’s hard to design checklists and detailed procedures when you’re making what are essentially prototypes each time. So you make more general processes and then your engineers apply them as needed to each unique build. It can end up looking like a bit of a mess. Space builds rely a lot on expert techs, good modular documentation, and multiple layers of engineering oversight because things change along the way and you can’t always plan for it.

I’m a process engineer at a different aerospace company. I standardize as much as I can and work hard to make instructions clear but man it’s a struggle. Boeing’s space group needs to pay people enough to retain good talent, because they’re all making decisions all day long.

How would I possibly connect with someone who responds to me with nothing genuine? You interpret my post in the most negative way possible, you give cryptic hints that you think men are superior to women, and you never engage with what I’ve actually said. It’s bad faith, argumentative to the point of being nonsensical, basically worthless. Why would I respond with anything but mockery?

Your response to a really mild joke post dissing pants demonstrates some really weird priorities, dude. I am upset! I’m worried about you. 500 fun response comments from people who got the joke, and one from a disturbed little guy who is desperate to get credit for other men’s accomplishments?

Maybe if you do some stuff with your life you won’t be so focused on getting praise for having a dick?

I don’t think anyone could get away with being that fancy all the time. We can dream!

What the fuck are you talking about? Are you so aggrieved that you can’t even engage in a conversation about how comfortable pants are without making it about how your wife left you or you lost your job or whatever? Get help buddy.

If you don’t want to wear skirts my dude, nobody’s gonna make you. You want to keep your brothers who aren’t prissy little homophobes like you from having the freedom to wear what they want. It’s sad.

Instead of erasing all the man-only cultural work

I’m in awe of your ability to sound like an ass.

Here’s a guide!

Fabric can be really expensive, so making stuff from scratch can add up. It’s very thrifty to repair and alter your own clothes, however. Replacing lost buttons or broken zippers, making too-large items fit better, etc.

For really nice stuff, it’s cheaper than buying at the store. I made my wedding dress from scratch and spent maybe $300 and it took maybe 10 days to come together. Most simple garments might take 10-20 hours.

This is the best approach in my opinion.

They’re the comfiest!

Ooh yeah shaving can be really brutal on some guys with sensitive skin too. A nicely trimmed beard seems like the way to go, although most guys have to shave the edges to keep it looking tidy I think.

Every woman I know has to shave their legs daily to keep them looking smooth. Maybe if you’re really blonde it’s not as visible? The only ways to get long lasting hair removal are painful and expensive - waxing, electrolysis, laser.

Nope. I think cis men (trans men too) should be able to wear bright colors and different types of clothes like skirts or dresses and not have people give them shit for it. Like… wearing a piece of fabric in a slightly different shape shouldn’t make people wonder if you’re gay or trans. The super rigid definition of “masculine” sucks and it makes life more boring.

I really like wearing fun shoes and giant earrings and cute dresses. I’m sad thinking that some guys would like to branch out but don’t feel like they can “pull it off” without making a scene.

That lizard sarong sounds awesome!

You might want to check out Korean and Japanese sunscreen brands, they tend to be inexpensive and feel a lot more like nice lotion than the sticky filmy stuff we’re used to. Especially if you don’t need waterproof sunscreen.

Hope you manage to dodge those rays, one way or another!

Yes

I’ve never heard it stated in those terms (“women’s winter”, ha!) but I agree with you. I’ll wear a sweater in the office if it means my neighbor doesn’t have to sweat through his suit. Ideally we could all dress in a way that’s comfortable and spend less on AC too!

Yeah, my perspective is definitely American. I hope the women in your country get the right to dress how they please soon. Thank you for being an ally to them!

The fucking SWAGGER. Thanks for sharing that, it made my day.
