That is probably the most atrocious pair of jeans in human history.

Nothing that makes you look like you shat your pants should be fashionable

@irishexpat:

every time I've travelled in Europe in the past decade i get re-amazed at how drop crotch is still a thing.

It's big in Sydney at the moment, with skinny/tight from thigh down, the worst look.

Yeah–you didn't think it could get worse than Hammer Pants did you? All you have to do is stovepipe the legs… It makes you look like a fucking cartoon character, no idea why anyone would think this is a flattering look.

Here's 2 example of it, all the early 20's are all in on it. 1st shot is what's literally in the shops this week

Whatever floats their boat really, doesn't impact me, but majestic it is not.

Trophy don't fuck with heavy denim, maybe I could get them to make you a pair in a super loose weave slubby 14oz if you're interested though.

Is that elastic at the bottom?

Yup, helps ensure the stove pipe

[bagley920]

It was always my understanding that elastic was for geriatrics

Google has introduced a REST API for interacting with their service. Having observed this same pattern with Jabber, ActiveSync, the continued sequential closing of Android, and other Google bait-and-switch tactics, this is what will happen:
1: Offer an API that provides real value, thus bolstering a strong network effect of third party mail client developers using it. In terms of competitive pressures, they are effectively forced to.

2: Once adoption of the API is very high, eliminate support for the open standard in order to give Google more control over their service, and more ability to support their objectives, which are a) gathering information from the user side of their network in order to bolster their value to the customer side of the network (advertisers) and b) making sure users of their services are inundated with advertising ubiquitously (IMAP allows users to bypass advertisement entirely). Google will even argue "now you don't have to build to multiple interfaces, just use our API!" as they throttle choice from their users.

Google is the company that saw Minority Effect's targeted advertising, which was intended to be a creepy artifact of a dystopian society, and took inspiration from it. Do not trust their motives.
