Hey! I am working on a science fiction project, a novel, with an alien species that I am designing. So, as ever, the questions can become kinda difficult if when you are attempting to redesign the female version of the creature (appropriately and respectfully of course). I was going to have it to where they don't milk their young the way humans do but more like the way mammals do when they give birth to a brood (dogs, cats, pigs, rabbits, and ferrets).

So, the question I am running into is how to design clothing so that it looks cool (they usually be mostly covered but sometimes not, like in the case of having a swimsuit or undergarments), but I would assume females of a species would design different top garments if they were able to nurse along the sides of their bodies.

I made this anatomical change because they will be flying creatures and also have protractible scales all over their body that completely cover and protect their vulnerable skin. So it might not make survival sense to be too top heavy (lmao).

How would you design like a Wrap Top / Surplice Top for them so that their covered where they want to be, but not feeling restricted?

I also just dont know much about women's fashion lmao ...

I can’t tell yet. Help me!!!

Any more ideas than the ones I’ve heard?

People say sometimes I look attractive as a guy, but I think it’s literally just that sometimes I eat protein and sleep well and they catch me when I’m fresh somehow.

The older I get the more I realize I cannot have a productive day without working long enough or doing enough different things such that I am exhausted or starving 90% of the time (from meals I have had to skip to keep another task moving along or working at my two jobs getting up by or before 5 and finally giving into sleep at like 12 am.

Girls ask why don’t guys take selfies for social media, this is why.

I’m introverted and try not to disturb the social environment, but the people who try to look to me for validation or excitement or to connect oxcytocin but in an excited way feel rejected or insecure when my energy is so far below equilibrium that I can’t even fake a smile, not because I’m angry, but because my face muscles don’t have any lifeforce in them. Attractive girls will even try to flirt with me and even though internally I enjoy their presence, I can’t even hold a smile back for them, because all my muscles are so shaky. With some people, my parents for instance, they get so offended by my exhaustion, interpreting it as deliberate rudeness, that they feel justified expressing irritation or anger towards me.

I want to post videos on social media and YouTube to at least parasocially connect with my friends and allies.

But I need a good strategy to cover or hide my face so people cannot observe my exhaustion and get negative energy from it.

I have heard Elon Musk say that the America or the world could run on a solar plot the size of Texas, I think, I can't remember.

My farmer friends though hate the idea of solar because it takes up land and is expensive to start up and requires costly maintenance by the time it "pays itself off" in two plus years...

What are y'all's thoughts?

Arent the value of products created by an economy directly or closely related to the costs to make those products? One of the costs to create any product involving human workers would include the minimum wage. So, shouldn't the spending power stay proportionate and the same when inflation occurs?

Also bonus question: Has there ever been a time in America when one could survive or thrive on a minimum wage? When I was doing that a couple years ago, I found it impossible to do anything besides barely buy snacks to keep me on my feet at work each day. Thats not talking about rent for a house (I wasnt paying rent and got evicted), thats not talking about fuel for a car (I walked to work each day sometimes slept at my store), thats not talking even about eating particularly well or healthily, because protiens are the most expensive basic item you can get at the grocery store (compared to carbs, sugars, fruits, etc..). I have compared the price of bit of cheese per grams of protien compared to smoked sausage per grams of protien and they were actually about the same price.
