I used to do this for casual wear, but I can’t anymore - I’m Mr. Always-tucked-in-shirt-at-work now
You guys must not work in tech. A lot of the coders/developers and even team leads where t-shirts (maybe with a jogger pullover jacket to be dressy), jeans, and tennis shoes as “business casual”. I thought a polo was casual and would never imagine wearing a round neck t-shirt to work

Are there any short sleeve shirt wearers?
Edit: best casual wear:

Quite a lot, although I haven’t seen any shorts yet. Apparently that’s the “too casual” line in tech

I’m on the line of business and IT and work down the hall from our IT/Little Mumbai - tons of over-stretched crew neck tees are worn in that hall…

Funny.
A friend of mine wears a Hanes white undershirt with faded Levis cut off at about mid-thigh, with the strings hanging from the frayed edges. Long hair and beard, so picture Jesus but from the 60s. Lol. Super nice guy. He’s a tenured professor, and I’ll run into him walking to his office. I don’t know if he teaches like that or if he’s just writing in his office, but he looks just like one of the graduate students. At least he doesn’t have the super short “never nude” cutoffs from Arrested Development. That would be bad. Anyway, being a professor used to be one of the most respected professions so it’s a little strange to see people dressed down to that degree at work.
I tend to dress fairly professionally when I teach. At my height, I blend right in with my junior high and high school students when we’re standing in a group, and I get mistaken for a little girl on the phone. My voice isn’t exactly commanding, so I like to wear button-up shirts and skirts/trousers or dresses in the summer. I need all the illusion of authority I can get! That, and being really, really MEAN helps.
Hey now. It’s not normally sticking up like a pineapple, but the hair has a mind of it’s own.

haha … hey now don’t quote me out of context, I painted a complete picture of what I’ve observed - a messy bun is fine if the rest of your attire is reasonable - I get hair gets messed up throughout the day.
Jeeze puff do you work for CNN quoting me like that

We called this phase suicide watch. I felt like I’d accomplished something just to keep them alive. I think every parent has some scary story of near catastrophe where the toddler dashes between cars in a parking lot or puts a key in the one electrical outlet that was temporarily uncovered.

It’s all that motor ability with none of the cognition to go with it. I remember one of mine sitting on the floor, pulling on the cord of the iron. I caught it, but it was just like a Coyote and Roadrunner episode.

Lilith on Cheers, did not make me chuckle, she made me Hawt!
The severe bun does say, “Don’t mess with me.”
I don’t do S&M, but if I did…too much information??? 
She’s on Blue Bloods now, and has aged gracefully imo.

These reminded me of the Polar Bears and Ducks debate.
From the WSJ this morning, letters to the editor
Many years ago I was in Wyoming elk hunting with a guide in prime grizzly-bear territory. Camped in an area with a host of bear tracks in the surrounding snow, I asked one evening how to stay safe from grizzly bears.
‘First, tie bells to your shoes so they can hear you. Second, learn the difference between black bear and grizzly bear scat [feces].’
I asked about the scatological difference.
‘Grizz scat has bells in it.’
And this one -
“… No bear has ever been known to attack a group of five or more. When a naturalist advised this rule of thumb would be our primary means of protection from bear attacks, I wondered who had done such a study and where the data was to back up her claim. Each day I carefully selected which hiking group to join after assuring myself that its other members were of at least average size lest a bear discount our safe number due to someone’s diminutive stature. As we wandered around the Alaskan wilderness in our group of five, I worried that we would encounter a bear suffering from dyscalculia, or two bears who would simply divide and conquer. How close together did we need to be in order for a bear to recognize us a group of five? If bears are smart enough to count, are they also smart enough to know that a hiker with a camera is likely to wander off, thereby jeopardizing the entire group? And would said bear go after the thoughtless photographer or the four innocents? Our reliance on ursine counting skills was nearly unbearable.”

@thefourthruffian is this your namesake? 
Ha . No. Although I was ordered fix bayonet one time for crowd control. (It worked as intended—no one got hurt, just a bit scared.)
The name stems from the redesign of this site. I was “thethirdruffian” but some sort of computer glitch locked me out of my account. It disappeared and then the profile associated with my email and password was some random chick. She was kind of hot, but it was not me.
So I started anew with “4”.

This is split into groups based on your job. The hardest group (most labor intensive job) has to a 180 deadlift x 3 and 30 pushups (among other things)… Whoa, how will soliders manage…

Is that lady moving 5 plates per side? Or are those crossfit rubber plates?
Clearly propaganda film. But I’ll be damned if I let someone throw a shovel at my gut or hit my head with a sledgehammer.

They’re bummers probably 5 or 10kg (about 10-20lbs)
Maybe it’s your lifelong indoctrination that makes you see the truth as propaganda.
More flagrant defamation of yet another successful socialist country. Shameful!
