There was a few kids in our community that did that. They don't anymore and all it took was telling them to either pull up their drawers or you'd do it for them and when that failed, we proceeded to do just that a few times. Now they don't bag and sag here.

Guess the cops have too much free time on their hands? Or the prison industry wants more revenue?

OTOH, I really don't care what stuff you wear. But please, if you are wearing saggy pants, wear some higher quality underwear.

You can't carry some many guns in "hip-hop style". The pants would fall down with all the weight! :p

I'd like to see that guy walk normally. Stupid video.

It's sad to see a culture full of kids doing this but it's a cultural statement no different then back when I was growing up and us "hippies" would cut out a big V in the bottom of our pants and sew in some bright red lumberjack shirt material, or wearing headbands, or not wearing any shoes which was a big hippie thing growing up. I'm a bit old school so my view might be more conservative. When I was a kid and my family was going to church, either my mom or dad would remind me to make sure I had a belt on. It just seems to be a sign of disrespect or anger towards society, or how somebody feels about themselves.

I've never understood how it became 'cool' to show your butt.

Ironically, Prison.

I think this is good. It's somewhat of a shame it has to come to this. You would think after reaching say 19 years old (to be generous) one would come to the conclusion all by themselves that it was not a cool think to do once you're all growed up.

I'm all for it, personally. Anyone know dresses like that looks ridiculous.

Oh, and for those that think it originated from Prison about your availability, it didn't according to Snopes. Actually, their reasoning seems far more sound, being sent to a prison where the guards didn't care if the overalls fit or not and so the prisoners just adapted.

See, this kind of law .. .and I hate that look btw ... but this kind of law is morally objectionable. Human beings deciding to lock up and restrict other human beings for the way they dress. Hmm. That seems a little bit nazi-fied to me. It's wrong for a group of people to believe they have the right, because they are employed by the state, to lock others up for the way they dress. I think the police uniform is horrendously awful to look at , and shows off their butt's to much. Do I have any rights here to lock them up? No. It's just dumb. I'm so glad I don't live in the USA. lol.

couple things... think about being in an alley and you and a friend are out looking for trouble... you see a lone guy with his pants low - obviously you cannot see a knife or gun in his underwear band, so you think maybe he is an easy target... but no, you see that his pants are around his ankles, which makes it impossible for him to run... which means he will stand his ground when the time comes, cause he has PLANNED to not be able to move right, or quickly.

The pants like that screams 'I am not going to budge when the time comes, and I don't need to worry about you, or carrying (unless you do see it in their underwear band) and I will mess you up if you try anything'. In other words... it's an attitude and mind-warefare like a bird puffing up it's feathers for territory, or a dog's fur standing up.

That and the prison pants hanging low due to fitting, and moved on to the hand in the pocket thing, meaning if you mess with a man's woman.. he will come looking for you.

Kids have been wearing their pants like that for decades. Was dumb then, and is dumb now...even when I was a kid. 3yrs is extreme tho but I wouldnt mind them being fined. A lot of times underwear is shown or more...so its pretty much exposing yourself. And indecency..

Where did you live as a kid that made this cool?

It was never cool when I was a kid, 40+ years ago!!

Don't think that punishment is appropriate, but they should be able to do something about it. It is lewd and I would not want to see females doing it either!

No it's not. You need to stop being a massive prude. It's not like they have no underpants on. Who cares. Doesn't affect you, so you shouldn't care.

    • Microsoft fixes one of Excel Copilot's most frustrating limitations by Usama Jawad Microsoft began integrating Copilot into Excel a couple of years ago and has been upgrading it with new functionalities since then. While some changes have been controversial, Microsoft is hoping to win over users by allowing them to be more productive via Copilot. To that end, it has now announced a Copilot improvement that may actually be appreciated by people who use it regularly. Excel customers often use the Copilot prompt box to issue instructions to format and customize their data, but it can become quite tiring to keep repeating the same instructions again and again. Microsoft now allows you to define Copilot personalization rules for formatting, naming conventions, formulas, and report styles. These can be accessed via Settings > Personalization, where you can explain your rules in natural language like "Always format currency in USD with no decimals", and just let Copilot take care of the rest. Microsoft is going a step further in this direction by allowing you to set workbook rules too. These rules are stored as a .Rules sheet, and are preserved while the workbook is shared. This fosters collaboration while making sure that standard rules govern the Copilot editing experience across the organization. Other advantages of this capability include pointing it to specific examples, defining dynamic formulas, and referencing an entire sheet and asking Copilot to infer rules based on that. You can leverage this feature by opening Copilot in Excel, clicking on "+", and selecting Create workbook rules. If you have an existing .Rules sheet, you can simply start listing the rules in column A as well. Personalization features are available to all Copilot in Excel users across the web, Mac, and Windows. Meanwhile, workbook rules are currently being previewed for Windows and Mac customers on the Insiders channel. General availability is scheduled after a few weeks, but a concrete date is currently unknown. Overall, the Excel capability is quite similar to ChatGPT's memory features, which allow you to permanently store items in the AI model's context window.
    • Imagine you still haven't discovered Total Commander that is doing all those things for three decades already...
    • This sounds like underneath the nice marketing spin, either someone at Adobe got tired of their lazy devs and asked Microsoft to help them sort at least some of Adobe's ancestral spaghetti code to make it go faster, or Microsoft wanted Adobe's crap to run better on Windows to make it look better when compared to Apple, so they offered to intervene. Either way, GOOD.
    • My favorite file manager for Windows 11 finally gets a long-requested feature by Taras Buria Files is among the best File Explorer alternatives for Windows 10 and 11. This free app is packed with all sorts of features and conveniences, but there is one crucial feature that is still missing—Tree View. Fortunately, the latest update in the Preview channel finally delivers it. With version 4.1.4, which is now available for download in the Preview channel, developers implemented Tree View, a new mode that displays folders in an expandable hierarchy. Windows 11's stock File Explorer always had this feature, but it was nowhere to be found in Files until now. Starting with the latest preview update, you can expand each drive and its nested folders without leaving the current location and then open the folder you need in the main view. To try Tree View in Files, update the app to the latest preview version, then click the small arrow next to a drive to expand its content. The developers say they are rolling out Tree View in Preview first to gather feedback from users and improve the feature before bringing it to all in the stable channel. In addition to Tree View, Files 4.1.14 improves the Windows Fonts folder. You can now preview each font directly in Files with no need to open the built-in font viewer. For now, these two features are only available in the Preview channel. For those using the stable release, developers recently released version 4.1.3, with improvements for the built-in tag system, on-demand folder size calculation, and plenty of various fixes. You can check out the full release notes here. You can download Files from the Microsoft Store (paid version) or its official website (free).
    • Who is paying for this 30x scale-up? Its sounds expensive.
