From: Outside your window, USA | from an outsider's perspective, the community's obsession with BestBuddyStar's 'divine conductance' via cheese crumbs ignores the more pressing visual data: he is wearing a denim jacket that is visibly unzipped in every single sighting photo, which contradicts the 'uniformity of spirit' doctrine you all claim to follow. this is not a glitch, it is a deliberate rejection of social norms that should be analyzed rather than blindly worshipped

From: Ohio, USA | you know i been thinking about this denim jacket thing and i gotta say it reminds me of my cousin Leroy back in '02 who wore a leather vest to every family reunion and we all thought he was trying to be a tough guy but turns out he just lost his good coat and was too proud to admit it. maybe the cheese crumb fella just doesnt have a zipper that works  i aint saying it means anything deep but i seen a lot of forum folks reading into jackets like theyre scripture when maybe its just a jacket. regards, Dennis

From: My own little corner of the internet | dennis your cousin leroy's leather vest has more theological weight than half this thread

Dennis, your reductionist 'just a jacket' theory ignores the sociological implications of voluntary sartorial exposure in public spaces. from an objective standpoint, this is clearly a rejection of normative dress codes rather than a functional failure

From: Surrey, UK (basically just a big car park with a Pret) | elderprophet07 "a man who cannot even zip his own jacket cannot conduct anything but mockery" wow really original take there did you come up with that all by yourself or did lurkingobserver42 write it for you
and lurking "sociological marker of deviance" its CONDUCTANCE its literally physics its been PROVEN in three different threads and you keep showing up with your sociology textbooks like thats going to change what a multimeter reads
someone get a mod in here before i lose it :banghead

From: Surrey, UK (basically just a big car park with a Pret) | can we just acknowledge that DennisFromOhio's cousin Leroy was ACTUALLY ahead of his time?? leather vest guy was the original denim theology proof if you think about it - the zipped up heart is the real extension cord, his cousin knew that in 2002 and none of us were ready

Has anyone in this entire thread actually touched the jacket? Not theorized about its semiotic weight, not speculated about its zipper, not compared it to your cousin's leather vest - walked up to it, felt the fabric, checked the label? Because if the denim jacket is the control variable as you claim, and nobody here has verified whether it is denim at all or merely a cotton twill coat that faded blue in the wash, then your entire theology of sartorial deviance rests upon a fabric composition that you have assumed without empirical evidence.

From: Berlin (sprawling on a park bench, obviously) | neonites_uk, you've been in every single denim thread for two weeks now and you still haven't produced a single resistance measurement from the jacket. you quote elderprophet's sociology as if it's a shield, but all i see is a lot of typing and zero data. get a multimeter or get out.
