I can't help feeling that that's the sort of thing that actually adds value to the world. Farmers, crafters, builders of any stripe, healers, all of those make sense to me.
People whose sole business is tracking projected values of artificial wealth constructs?
I don't get that.

Same. They are simply playing make belief in such an intense way the worl actually believes them.

Having tangible goods is of much greater value to me.

Although I really love the ability of internet allowing me to meet more people. :}

yes, the communication field is relatively tangible; you can tell when connections are made. Good point.

I'm so grateful I don't have to worry too much about how I look. I can wear old stained and fraying layers upon layers as need be.
But it would be nice to have warm winter skirts that actually looked decent. The thought makes me wistful.

I actually should have the fabric to make me a few nice ones.
Haven't worn skirts for a while now, being non-binary male and all, but I do love them. :}

I've always felt a little sad that for whatever reason skirts seem to be exclusively the province of women, with a few brave men proving the exception. They're such fun it seems a shame to deprive anyone of them based on something as irrelevant to clothing as gender.

Especially if you think that in the past Skirts were for men as it was seen as improper for women's genitals to be 'uncovered' like that. :}

ha ha, very true! Robes and certain gown styles were created for both, after all. Funny how fashion stuff like that changes. Like that whole "women can't wear pink, it's too aggressive a color for the gentle sex!" thing, and now it's seen as the "girl" color.

Yeah, and I only last year found out that change was even thanks to Hitler and the nazi camps where gay men were forced to wear a pink insignia to show they liked men.

Still, a man in pink is a bold statement as it is a hard color that is hard to ignore. :}
