I’ve seen the debasement of quality in clothing more than almost anything else. I bought clothes from the same store for years and watched as the price went up and the quality of the fit and weight of the materials went down.
This results in clothes that now feel cheap and have to be replaced constantly. They also deform easily and stretch out and the shape itself doesn’t last.
Much of this of course comes from inflation. I use to pay $35 for a pair of jeans that would last me for years. Now I pay $90 and it lasts less than 1 year before ripping and meanwhile the fit never maintained its shape and they weren’t as comfortable to wear as they used to be.
Brings me back to West Major. I’ve been constantly buying more expensive, higher quality products with bitcoin. I decided to do the same with this shirt.
It’s the most comfortable shirt I’ve ever worn. It’s thick. You can feel and see the quality. And yes, it’s expensive. But it’s a low time preference shirt in a world of high time preference clothing.
To offset inflation, we have had to start wearing literal plastic that is made by literal slaves. No thank you.
This shirt is awesome. If you’ve been on the fence about getting one, I highly recommend it.
Imagine going 7 years at a business all in to the point where you can’t afford to go to the dentist and then your favorite band of all time rocks your shit proudly.
Court records reveal what it looks like when Telegram hands user data to U.S. authorities.
A letter filed in a federal case shows Telegram providing a user's phone number, user ID, and IP address, signed off with "We hope this information will be helpful in your investigation."
As of January, Telegram had provided U.S. authorities with data on 2,253 users, a dramatic shift after French authorities arrested CEO Pavel Durov in August 2024.
