What? It's a piece of fashion: it doesn't need a "purpose". You want to wear monocolor onesie jumpsuits everywhere?

    If someone wants to wear one of their own choice, that's fine. It shouldn't be mandated. The issue I have is that wearing a strip of cloth around your neck somehow makes you a "professional" in the eyes of others, and not wearing one means you are being "unprofessional".

    I keep it in the same place everyone else in my country keeps it. In the White House.

    That dick doesn't work and we all know it. The party is running the show, he's running on autodick, falling asleep at televised meetings, making even less sense than normal, he can barely work up a good nazi rally now, they leave him alone with an avowed enemy of the party, like Mamdami or Petro of Colombia for a half hour and he's best friends forever with them, while his handlers facepalm.

    I'd argue fashion is a waste of human effort IMO.

    Make functional outfits and comfortable ones. Literally nothing else. "Formal" should not even be a word at all, much less a genre of clothing.

    Designers making wearable art pieces is kinda silly, but it gets by with being art, but that's as far as I'll allow the line.

    Saving a useless accessory that's been mandated for certain jobs/purposes is actually obscene to me. It being "fashion" is no help, and given that it's the only reason it exists, it should be fucking deleted from our awareness.

    Fight me.
