Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I don’t understand fashion. Are the types of people who wear a dress once the same people who buy clothes made from plastic fibers? I figured they would buy clothes that are like 100% silk or something.
Lol no those days are long over. Now everyone can afford clothing designed to be worn just once or twice and made from plastic.
And the worst part is, even though it started with "fast fashion" brands like Shein, now every brand has low quality plastic clothes. You can pay more if you want, but you're getting polyester.
And let's say you take out a second mortgage and spring for real silk, wool, cotton, or linen, you're still going to get shitty quality construction.
This is just not true, I have reasonably priced cotton and linen clothing. Some is newer but some is 5+ years old and looks fine after almost 100 wears. I’m looking at it in my closet right now.
Cool.
