  • Gotcha. I think the OP was specifically about being dressed formally, so that’s why I was asking.

    Other than smelling bad, why does it matter if I’m well groomed to passerbys or that I care about my appearance?

    Again, I’m talking about potentially flight attendants, the people at the gate check, etc. we are ships passing in the night, they are there to make sure I’m me, and I’m just passing by. I agree that if you wear something that is offensive, like swear words or images that maybe considered obscene, that’s not ok almost anywhere imo. But if I wear unbranded sweatpants and a hoodie, how would that make me being disrespectful? I’m not there for any person. I’m not there to win favor. They are there to do there job which is to check me in or provide a service, or as far as random passerbys, we are just sharing a space.

    So do you believe that it’s disrespectful to dress down or is dressing up just more respectful in your opinion?


  • How? If I were meeting with someone in a formal setting, sure. If I’m flying somewhere after work just to go straight to my hotel, I’m not formally interacting with anyone where being dressed up makes a difference.

    I’m don’t see how it’s any more respectful for anyone else I’m walking by in an airport terminal if I’m wearing a suit and tie vs sweatpants and a hoodie.

    Does your statement imply that it’s disrespectful to not dress up, or is putting on informal clothes kind of the baseline and dressing up is extra?












  • Rob Sand is the only politician that I’m aware of that can actually win an election with bipartisan approval. He was the only elected official in Iowa that did so as state auditor, where he got shit done, by the books. The only criticism I’ve ever heard about him came from those cunts Gov Kim Reynolds and AG Brenda Bird, of which I can’t honestly say which is worse. They got pissy because he uncovered corruption, they didn’t like it, and their attacks on him failed.

    He’s not a progressive, but he’s a good person that I genuinely believe can be trusted to do the right thing. There’s a reason Musk is looking to spend millions in Iowa, and it’s because Sand is awesome and has support on both sides, but can’t be controlled by any party. Him winning governor would bar none be the best thing that’s happened to Iowa since it was the first state to legalize same sex marriage.
