    Or, hot take, a company that sells clothes with pockets makes less money than a company that sells clothes without pockets and then offers ladies $50-150 purses to compensate. If you think the fashion industry hasn’t noticed that, you’re crazy.

    It’s like how the American auto industry noticed they could make more money selling big vehicles and so all of them just stopped making smaller cars. Plenty of Americans say they want smaller cars, but the American auto makers don’t care.

    No, it’s definitely a thing, and trends more in clothes geared to older women. When I shopped at Forever 21 back when I was in my 20s, I was a size 4-6; when I shopped at REI I was a size 4. When I shopped at Chicos, on the other hand, which caters almost exclusively to older women, I was a size 0. And sometimes even that was too big on me.




  • Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.

    They are showing they are in the ‘in-group’ by flouting the rules they dictate to everyone else. It’s a key part of showing you’re in the in-group, and powerful within that group. The more rules you can flout the more powerful you are.





  • I mean, most sweets are vegetarian…

    But seriously, meat gives a lot of easily-digestible protein, so when you cut it out your body starts to throw energy cravings everywhere, and fats and sugars are another easy-access energy source, so your body pushes hard for those.

    I’ve found it helps to eat more smaller meals through the day to keep my energy up and my cravings low, if I haven’t been hitting up heavy-protein foods like beans.
