Leggings lovers: Let's talk!

Maria Wright62 said:@ Mia, even Google can't help me find "short socks." Are they just ankle socks? Do you cut them down and call them boy shorts? 🤔

So, how’s business? Getting any orders? 😁

They're definitely socks. 🙂

What do you mean by orders, Ruby? I have no idea what you're getting at, though honestly, I don't even understand myself.☕

@silverwolf88, hang in there. The Council has your back. Conti is just testing you. 😳

So, you actually managed to land yourself a three-month ban all because of those shirts, haha, honestly, what a disaster 🤣

Gary Cook84 said:A three-month ban just for wearing underwear? That's rich. Unbelievable. 🤣

Imagine walking around in your boxers; it’s not like he’s going to die in six months.🕺

Chloe Cooper10 said:I find myself pondering a rather peculiar scenario—one might say a rather absurd one, if I am being perfectly honest with myself. Imagine, if you will, a man who possesses such an extraordinary level of audacity that he simply wanders about in nothing but his underwear. It is quite a sight to behold, truly. And yet, despite this blatant disregard for social decorum and the unspoken rules of public attire, the man remains entirely unscathed. He could wander through the streets of Chicago or stroll down a boardwalk in Santa Monica for six months straight, and not a single soul would manage to lay a finger on him. It is a baffling thought, really, how someone could be so brazenly exposed and yet remain completely untouched by misfortune or consequence for half a year.🕺

It seems to me that there is a profound and rather troubling inconsistency in how our justice system handles these matters, and I find myself dwelling on it quite frequently. It appears that individuals who engage in outright verbal abuse or personal insults are often handed a mere three-day sentence, whereas this particular individual—simply because of some issues regarding his attire—is facing a staggering three-month penalty. One can't help but feel a sense of bewilderment at such a glaring disparity in sentencing. 🤣

William Grant20 said:Your review won't fly—local cafe owners in Santa Barbara have already reviewed your mathematical derivations and notified us that everything is incorrect. ☕

Look, only three or four cafes in Santa Barbara have banned me from their premises—but it's great that you've written this post, implying that cafe owners somehow hold sway over the validity of mathematical proofs. Honestly, this idea of business owners meddling with math and astronomy is getting ridiculous—that’s what lawyers are for. If there's actual corruption involved, then let the lawyers handle it and launch an investigation.

Gary Cook84 said:Americans get three days for insults, yet this guy gets three months just for some sketchy behavior. 🤣

Because he’s a "scientist." Clearly, I’m just not on his level. Regular folks like us can't even get a ban for being rude, mostly because we aren't even professional trolls. ☕

Chloe Cooper10 said:Because he’s a scientist. You just don't get it. Regular folks like us can't even get banned for being insulting—we don't even know how to do it right. ☕

Look, I won't claim the title of "scientist" until I've passed a peer review by actual experts in math and physics. But here's the thing—international scientists who actually care about my work don't buy into the nonsense coming from people in America who pretend to be experts while they're really just running coffee shops. The EU and other developed nations aren't blind to how corrupt things can get in America, and posts like

raise serious questions about whether we're looking at an abuse of power.

Chloe Cooper10 said:Of course they're socks. 🙂

What orders, Ruby? I have no idea what you're talking about—honestly, I don't even understand myself.☕

@Silvio, don't let them push you around—the Council has your back, and Conti is just out to test your resolve. 😳

I really hope this country actually follows the rule of law. They’re trying to intimidate me by bringing up cafe owners who have "connections"—it's ridiculous. I'm in a position where I need to wrap up my work quickly so I can submit it for review to multiple different outlets. That way, even if these people have influence over a few specific scientists, they won't be able to control the entire scientific community.
I don't know what this Council is supposed to be, but it reminds me of the journalistic mindset at BuzzFeed, where they gave me just as much trouble over certain facts. The truth is, there's something seriously wrong with this Council; they discriminate, violate human rights, and won't even recognize creative work as actual professional labor—they'd rather try to pass it off as some kind of disability claim. , so now I'm just waiting to hear back from the IRS on how a freelance artist is supposed to handle taxes on song sales through online platforms.

I have no idea what this council is supposed to be, but it reminds me of the journalistic mindset at BuzzFeed, where they gave me just as much grief over the mobsters. It feels like something is seriously off with this council—they're discriminating and violating human rights. They won't even acknowledge my creative work as actual professional output; instead, they're trying to pass it off as some kind of disability claim. . Now, I'm just waiting to hear back from the IRS on how a freelance artist is supposed to handle taxes on song sales through online platforms.

So, BuzzFeed writers gave you trouble over the mobsters?😲
Funny how they pretend to be this big progressive outlet promoting liberal values, yet here they are picking on men in leggings. Good on you for exposing them, though.

I’m just popping over here from the other thread (the one about Trump...) where I’m really hoping things eventually turn into a friendly little hangout for the mobsters👍

Honestly, people who claim they can't stand the mobsters are just clearly jealous of anyone who actually pulls the look off.

Silvio, I just got off the phone with the coffee shop owner. Things aren't looking great... They're currently reviewing your performance, and frankly, they aren't happy with what they've seen.

Silvio, welcome back. 👋

Don't let the haters get to you, Silvio!
Local coffee shop owners don't matter. Just look at how many of us actually value everything you do and your activism!

Local coffee shop owners don't mean a thing. Just look at how many of us actually value your work and your activism here.

Well, those coffee shop owners have clearly read your little manifesto, and they've already tipped off the City Council, who are now officially considering stripping you of your moderator status. ☕

Fine by me!
I'm heading over to the Trump thread to start organizing a protest outside the local Starbucks.
We'll all show up dressed as the mobsters!

silverwolf88 said:I actually got hit with a three-month ban because of the mobsters

Thanks for starting this thread

And thanks to everyone out there fighting against the discrimination of the mobsters

https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/...meggings-trend

Wait, you seriously got banned over the mobsters? For three whole months? Good grief

Anyway, just ignore those trolls who have beef with the mobsters and astrology

We’re here to talk about mobster fashion trends and what the future holds in tarot and horoscopes 🎉

Welcome to the party, Brixton Pistol, glad you made it over from the other topic🙂

Nicole Myers said:People who hate on leggings are just bitter because they can't pull them off.

exactly !! 🎉

Chloe Cooper10 said:Obviously they're socks. 🙂

What orders, Ruby Rose? I have no idea what you're talking about, though honestly, I don't even understand myself.☕

@Silvio, don't let them push you around. The Board is on your side, and Conti is just testing you. 😳

Yeah, of course they are. 🙂
I just assumed if you were in the fragrance business, you'd actually have products to sell. 😁
