Isn't political change brought about by collective changes in behaviors of an individual and of those around them?

Whoa! TIL! I struggled a bit to read this style at first, but felt it get easier after a few tries.

In 2021 I bought 12 different types of printing blanks (iirc it cost $150 for everything) of various fits, gsm and fabrics to test my preferences and then stuck with the tshirt I preferred the most. Donated/worn out the rest, and only purchased the one I liked moving forward. I've been lucky with other purchases but those were also guided by gear recommendations from niche subreddits and picking whatever was on discount among them. And because I buy them on a discount, it's usually not THAT big of a hit to the pockets after reselling them if I don't like them for whatever reason (other than durability which there's no getting around to. seams, stitching, materials etc are a good tell, however).

There's always some randomness, for example I once had to rush to H&M for an emergency blazer when I showed up to an university event in a tshirt and the Queen of Denmark arrived. I got a bit drunk that evening but I remember I walked home in the evening without it.

I've been experimenting with minimalism by tracking every non-consumable purchase (clothing, electronics, etc.) for a few years. There's no clear patterns in the spending habits that have emerged yet, but the practice itself has been surprisingly effective at curbing unnecessary/impulse buys. I finally got around to visualizing the data this week and wanted to share with you guys.

Nepali here. In this context, a jholey is a party foot soldier. An unquestioning party worker who would literally carry their leader's bag, follow them everywhere, and do any menial task in hopes of gaining political favor.

There is no causal link here. It's merely associative - it could be that people with hemorrhoids spend more time on the toilet.
