Was dragged to a mall today. Figured I would just kill time in stores that I like. Every single store was a clothing store. There were like two that didn't sell clothing and they didn't kill nearly enough time for the people who I was there with to be done. Seriously, I don't get the appeal of paying a ton for clothes. Been shopping at the goodwill for years, for the cost of one of your high-profit-margin-shirts I can get two or three full outfits. I get that there's an "elite" who feels pride in buying stuff with a higher price tag, but man. There were literally 20 of these things. It killed me inside when I went to a store that I remembered as a D&D/magic/etc shop from a few years back, and it was replaced by a store that sold shirts with sports teams on it. It would be one thing if the culture promoted uniformity, but the culture says it promotes individuality. Then you get to pick from like three little cliques to be an "individual" in. Meanwhile, the actual individuals, the ones who like runescape, sociology, and being cheap, get mocked. I guess I just hate the way people as a whole seem to do one thing and say another culturally.
