Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

I felt bad re-wearing a tshirt to work, after wearing it once. Not because it smelled or had a stain or anything, but because the work we do can be disgusting and has a legitmate concerns over being clean.
I feel like some people forget why we do certain things. We're maybe a bit too clean sometimes as a modern society (not sure about recent research, but remember the "lack of dirt might contribute to allergies" articles?). But at the same time, we're don't have typhus killing 100k people a week because we wash our clothes and have largely controlled lice.
Yeah you can go 2-5 washes for jeans, especially if you're like, wearing them in a "clean" ish environment... but god damn you if you don't semi-regularly throw them in the wash. Real anti-social shit. Yeah western sensibilities can be wack about certain things, but every culture with washable fabrics WASH them for a reason. (I assume some cleaning is done of other clothing, but I doubt tumble drying a feather ornament would be good.)
Side note: The work is outdoors. Nothing has ever made me feel more connected to my monkey ancestors then checking for ticks. Honestly a humbling experience.
All of the people spoken of in this article are so obviously rich and have never had to work a physical job outside.
