I’m an attorney – a Patent attorney with experience in copyright, data law, and contract law – currently working for a law firm. I’m a big fan of software freedom and think federated networks are part of the secret sauce that will make the internet right.
In my spare time, I enjoy judging moot court competitions, watching absurdist comedy, and writing about menswear.
@toothpaste_sandwich I’ll never understand why people upvote these random, pointless infographics. Most of these are, obviously, ridiculous made-up nonsense made to fill out a listicle with a number you’ve never seen before. Don’t worry, if there’s a worthwhile way to tie a scarf, you already know about it.
@Quintus Yeah, I get some discomfort from a compliment, like… I’m not sure what to do, do I thank them? Do I just say “I know!” Do I express humility? I don’t believe half the compliments I get.
Getting into clothes has helped. I am proud of my style, it’s unique, and I have enough of the haters, I am tired of them. When people compliment my style, it’s not mere flattery—it’s a statement of mutual understanding that fosters a deeper connection. And we can talk about the clothes.

This isn’t a fashion question and it’s not a life choice.
It’s a style question and it’s a style choice.
some social constructs are enjoyable. Some people enjoy developing their taste in aesthetic fields. it’s okay.
that’s why this community exists. If you don’t like it, I recommend you unsubscribe.
(I tried posting this from kbin, but apparently lemmy.world defederated with them…)
It’s very hard to dye silk white (or at least it was, historically). The bowtie in white tie is marcella cotton.
White shirts are the most common. A white necktie would have been hard to pair with most wardrobes, more likely to get dirty (you don’t want to have to get your tie cleaned, it’s a whole thing).
“white tie” is a distinct dress code involving a white bowtie. Outside of that, there’s no real history of people wearing white neckwear. This is for a few reasons:
Alright.
You guys appear to have defederated with kbin, but it seems I can post to lemmy.world from mastodon, but it doesn’t appear that I can make a link post on lemmy through mastodon. Interesting.
I wish I could just use a lemmy web interface with my mastodon account… I’ll figure it out eventually.
@BudgetBandit it really depends on what you’re into. Like, I could tell you to follow @ZachWeinersmith for SMBC-type humor, or me for menswear, or @GovTrack to track US Government voting patterns, or…
But that’s not really a useful way to talk. You could always go through explore, but I also don’t think that’s a great approach.
It would be best if you told us what you wanted to see here and we helped you find it.
@toothpaste_sandwich alright. I’ll tell you, I’ve never seen the “chest warmer” in person, it looks pretty silly to me, but if it keeps you warm, enjoy it.
