Do other people just have really small pockets or something?

From what I heard, women's pants offer no pockets at all.

However, phone thickness isn't really about pockets at all, it's because when they give a bunch of phones to people to use and ask them which are the most pleasant ones to use, the people say the thinner ones are better. People don't ask for thinner phones, but when they do product trials, people prefer them. Something slim is just easier to hold and use than a thick brick.

Heavy rainfall and subsequent landslides in Japan has claimed dozens of lives. Most victims fell in Heroshima.
1.5 MILLION people have been forced by the government to evacuate their homes, and another 3.5 million have been strongly advised to do the same.
Holy shit that's a lot of people to provide emergency shelter for. Expect Japan to sink into economic crisis.
The rainfall is expected to last until sunday. The meteorological institute has declared state of emergency for various regions. Next to the rain and landslides, there's also typhoon strenght winds incoming and heavy thunderstorms.

Can confirm - some pants I've seen even offer fake pockets to trick you into thinking they aren't shit.

Supervisor tried giving me shit for leaving 5 minutes early. Never mind that: I clocked in 11 minutes early this morning(I need the extra time to get shit done), punched out for lunch a minute late(which was supervisor's fault), clocked in after lunch 2-3 minutes early, my entire workload for the day was done, and the only work left to be done required at least 10 minutes to do, and I'd have been done with my workload early enough to do that if her little pet favorites could actually do their goddamned jobs. Not to mention that "5 minutes early" is still several minutes after several other people leave.

Yeah, I hate those, I can never tell if they're supposed to be priced as "Jeans" or "Leggings" in our system.

They're called Jeggings because they're "typically made of a cotton/spandex blend" rather than denim. According to Wikipedia, some are made with a both a fake fly and pockets. Some are a denim/spandex blend while others are just plain spandex, "decorated" to look like they're jeans.

What the hell is the point of those. They are just shittier jeans.

Lazy girls want the ease of leggings but to look like they took the time to put proper pants on.

Yeah I assume it’s a “tight jeans are both uncomfortable and expensive”
Leggings stretch to accomodate all body shapes, denim pattern is just to look less trashy.

Eh. In my opinion, the denim-patterned leggings look worse than the normal ones. The pattern doesn't match up properly, looks weird.

Maybe I didn't imply this strongly enough in my last post on the subject, but jeggings are an abomination. They're usually a heavier material than actual leggings, with fake pockets etc to make them seem more legit.

So, I've opened YouTube this morning to see that it suddenly has the old good design. I was like, "Wow, YouTube suddenly listened to the users complaining about how shit the current UI is? That's awesome!" My happiness didn't last long, however, as I closed Firefox for a minute, then when I opened YouTube again, it has returned to the current crappy design.

That reminds me, has anyone noticed that the left margin on the video & comments is gone in YouTube? It's annoying and looks weird as hell. In fact, is that what you're talking about, CABL?
