  • Huh. That’s interesting. I wouldn’t have guessed that would be a problem. Maybe you need to go thrifting somewhere with a higher population of fat people, cos I’m a pretty hefty man and there’s a lot of womens clothes I can get into in thrift shops around me. Though I guess it depends on the item.

    What I can never find is anything stylish from the 70’s that fit me other than jackets. People just didn’t go to the gym back then, and if they did they weren’t the ones with any sort of fashion inclination.






  • Eh. Gendering it is weird, but with modern life expectancies an increase in pension age is I suppose expected.

    This is probably a stupid idea, but I think beyond 60ish we should all be funnelled into roles as stewards of the land. Paid til retirement. Send out a relaxed patrol of older folk with rubbish claws, hedge trimmers, jet washers. No productivity targets or anything. Park ranger type of thing. Have them going about in their golf carts keeping an eye on things, giving out water refills, spreading seeds, collecting scientific data about bugs and whatnot. Rotate the activities. Their job is to make the world whimsical and beautiful. You can’t tell me old people wouldn’t love that shit. I would love it, even.

    People would absolutely love them too. Imagine a bunch of sweet older folk come down and make your street look great. I’d be leaving snacks out for them. Maybe a bugle call for their arrival.
