Decline in people wearing suits and is it a bad thing?

[lxskllr]

By the way, a zygote/embryo/fetus is by definition a parasite, which means that abortion by definition is delousing.

I've never understood why abortion is considered horrific, but forcing a woman into an 18+ year life sentence is perfectly ok?

Because religion.

 

[Crumpet]

Because religion.

Yes, well.. That's something else that needs to realise that we're in 2017, not 1817.

I was asked by the HR manager to leave the suit & tie behind for my upcoming interview.

He wants his BIL to stand out.

Adoption.

Adoption.

Go for it.

By the way, a zygote/embryo/fetus is by definition a living thing, which means that abortion by definition is murder.

who's definition? certainly not science or medicine.

Adoption.

As long as its not gay couples though, right?

Also, foster care is great. Its where many kids get to learn the joys of being sexually assaulted! At least it prepares them for their proper church etiquette though.

Suits, and ties in particular are going away. This last generation seems to have trouble with keeping up on traditional things.

we got new traditions though.

like gender reveal parties.

THIS THREAD IS NOW ABOUT SUITS

confession/fun fact:

15 years ago i tied a tie for the first time. it took me 5 hours. i have worn that same tie without untying the knot for every suit-wearing event in the past 15 years.

Suits traditionally denote standards, class and professionalism . Most members of the upper classes wear them and others also, when exercising professional responsibilities.Lawyers, doctors, etc. They are also worn to culturally important events.
Now that isn't to imply that employees wearing jeans, a face full of hair and a T aren't acting professionally nor that all suits are prima facie professionals.I wonder though whether there isn't a co-relation between the fact that suit wear is obviously declining and the lamentable phenomena, pointed out elsewhere, of an entire generation of men lost to video games.

 

[Ryland]

I agree. All three are in decline though. People show up to job interviews wearing sports jerseys now.

I showed up to the job interview for my current job (been here 17 years) in jeans and a tshirt, but then again its a programming job and thats what the owners wear.

Yeah I showed up for my internal interview in jeans and a polo. Thats what I wear normally and was told that was acceptable but it still felt wrong

yes, people not wearing suits is definitely related to people playing video games

 

[deustroop]

HAHA very funny, I just didn't make my question very clear. I meant to focus on the lost people not the games.

The article on men and games says the US economy has for the first time lost prime male employees/employment, some guys, the article says, out of the labour force completely. It doesn't matter what the men do in their spare time, a new cohort have given up on the employment system.

Then I wondered if a negative attitude to suits suggested in the other thread, may connect with the (same) males voluntarily dropping out of employment ?

Having clarified that, I can say the answer for me is clear.

(Reminds me of something Socrates must have said, Once you ask the question, there is the answer.)

Dictionary definition.

 

[IronWing]

Dictionary definition.

I once had a wallet made from human foreskins. It was great. If I needed to carry something larger, I just rubbed it until it grew into a briefcase.

 

[IronWing]

One should consider where one end of the tie points to?
Is that setting a good example for young children?
Do you want your kids to get STD's?
I don't know, maybe it has to do with this sexual selection business that I don't believe in.

Beats suspenders. Those things go right over your shoulders, down your back, and point at your ass cheeks. If you're a stout fellow, the fronts of the suspenders might also point at your ass cheeks.

I'm in a hospital constantly and I haven't seen a physician in a suit for about 15 years. Suits are not hygienic and ill advised around patients.

 

[Staples]

Dress shirts and slacks are fine for all occasions.

I am fairly athletic and I feel tied up in a suit.

This sad and precipitous decline in sartorial correctness began when men started not wearing hats.

lol, his fake american was going so well until he called it "an agender"

i've actually watched videos before with brits talking about this, observing that they don't actually hear the "r" they spoke at the end of words ending in "a" unless they really think about it.
