Someone posted a really ugly Swedish chair that looked like it should be in McDs, but the post has been deleted.

McDonald's has class. Emeco navy chairs.

That is pretty interesting. I certainly don't eat enough Asian food to justify that, but I'm intrigued. What advantage does a properly sized chopstick set afford you? More natural grip/eating motion?

More comfortable and easier to manipulate and used. Easier to hold at the theoretically optimal point.

Most restaurants offer the average male size. It's not like eating with different sizes is impossible, you just hold them at different points, bur getting a sized pair is more comfortable and affords dexterity.

1A. That said, I think the taperless designs are possibly superior from a form perspective, since the form is more honest to the function of the design: if no taper is necessary, let’s not put it there. Like a decorative, non-functioning vent or scoop on a car—get rid of it, please. After all, the handle can’t be spindle thin. It needs enough width for stability, grip, leverage, etc.

2. Honesty in design through eliminating unnecessary flourishes and celebrating the essential in form means more time, money, resources, etc., spent on quality and function over antiquated and false notions of “elegance”. Notions of elegance and beauty will then hopefully evolve accordingly and society will invest more where there are opportunities for real innovation and progress.

This is a extremely weird take on this forum.

I spot 5 unnecessary buttons and 3 unnecessary buttonholes on the jacket.

Get rid of them.

It is a good-looking suit, though. Although, I think the shirt collar points are just a touch too long.

It is warm because a sweaty fat man flatulated excessively.

I feel smelt.

No doubt, but it's dishonest and relies on antiquated and false notions of elegance.

I'm loving the notion of a "dishonest" suit.

Wow. Is that some kind of deviant marching band uniform try on?

Hello is this the thread for rubbernecking?

What’s creepy is the number of people showing up in this thread who have zero interest in discussing design. Yet, I’m supposedly the one with unhealthy fixations.
