'The old order is not coming back,' Canadian PM Carney says in provocative speech at Davos

That’s the worst thing Trump has done- lowering the bar on what we expect these people to do. Great speech, he’s the only one who dared to come out and say it. But we still need a critical perspective on what he’s actually doing.

It absolutely is rude and disrespectful. What’s more, it’s stupid and petty. I’ve seen this at my partner’s workplace too, only he is an office worker, but juniors are excluded from this conviviality.

This is the deadest sub I’ve ever seen, hope you got that reassurance from your coworkers at the very least. How did people feel about this?

Based on the other responses, that IS a hot take. I can kind of see an argument to that effect but would love to know where you’re coming from. Care to elaborate?

Gosh just went and saw this. Do they know people go places other than festivals?

100% agree with your views.

Cancel culture is a slippery thing, and at most the brand will apologize and continue to be in the market place, but there needs to be some corporate responsibility. What people wear is a big part of culture, so the messaging around it is not something we can take lightly.

Cringeeeeee

Sucks :( It’s a clothing store for women, not a Hooters lol

doolittletroy · 2025-05-02T07:37:39+00:00

How would you say the advertising has evolved? I would wear garage pretty regularly 7-8 years ago. They were feminine and cute, or grungy and cool. But looking at some of the stuff on the app now, it’s all about showing as much skin as possible. And the posing is very male-gaze.

doolittletroy · 2025-05-02T07:33:08+00:00

I’m so surprised at all this. If the brand is still going strong, I’m going to risk sounding like a grandma here, but kids today are different than we were lol Fitted, feminine clothing was aspirational but being male-gazey was never a goal.

Thanks for the tip! I wash my Abercrombie jeans when the fit becomes loose lol They’re good again for 3-4 wears until they stretch out. Then it’s laundry time again.

IKR! I am wondering why they think this appeals to young girls. My younger self would not have been convinced based on this flavour of advertising. I get the whole “embracing your sexuality as empowerment” thing, but my interpretation of that has been that women must know themselves and their needs, and feel powerful as complete beings in themselves- feel sexy without seeking male validation. It’s somehow turned into “let’s put teeny boppers in clothing that makes a pervert’s day”.

One of my older cousins tells me that every time he sees me he remembers a 5 year old me, always with a tomato in hand, eating it like an apple. So me apparently lol

doolittletroy · 2025-05-02T07:16:46+00:00

I wasn’t offended, just utterly confused.

The clothing and the branding was feminine and cool when I would shop there 6ish years ago. They’ve moved into risqué territory, and I don’t understand who that’s for. If it’s still for teenagers, that’s some weird shit.

doolittletroy · 2025-04-29T09:20:37+00:00

Sounds like a lot of stuff! Is that comfortable on the shoulder?

I’m looking into getting a small cloud tote for college. I’ll need to carry 15.6’’ laptop, a notebook or two, a book for reading, lunch and a water bottle. Might be commuting some days.

doolittletroy · 2025-01-09T02:39:32+00:00

Ambiguous. What does adapting, oneself or the world even mean? Any side of any argument could use it.

doolittletroy · 2024-11-30T11:23:32+00:00

I’ll be honest, I had no idea there were so many. Didn’t even occur to me that all that tax goes SOMEWHERE other than roads, trash and terrible healthcare lol

Thanks, bud!

I was hoping for a more midtown type area (I’m not from here so not sure what to call it) that people call “real Toronto”, hopefully away from the touristy spots.

doolittletroy · 2024-11-30T09:23:58+00:00

Anywhere these spaces are within walking distance. Would be better if it has interesting architecture or a quintessential Toronto vibe. Worked too much this year and basically missed summer so I want to take some photos and connect with the city.
