Am I wrong to think that the quality of a suit is sub-par because it doesn't have functioning button holes on the sleeve?

It's not about their function. It's that functioning button holes require a degree of craftsmanship that a machine can't replicate. Similar indicators of quality include horizontal vs vertical button holes on dress shirt sleeves, half/full canvas jackets instead of fused, etc

Those functioning button holes on lower and mid range off the rack suits are all machine made. The feature was once an indicator of quality, but it’s gotten much cheaper to produce so you can find it in cheap suits. Ditto for pick stitching

Lots of ready to wear suits have that now and it's annoying if you want to adjust the sleeves.

What function do the buttons have.

That’s a feature that’s a “nice to know you have”. But I’ve never actually used them on my SuitSupply jackets.

Welcome to our pre-k inclusive classroom. Even with 8 students, and only face to face for 4 hours, we struggle. We struggle being heard through our masks. We struggle with social distancing. We struggle as we find ourselves constantly reminding students to keep their masks on. We struggle to keep them engaged and to teach. One thing we do not struggle with- building connections and showing out love for each child.

I have this old college friend who’s always there for me in bad moments but I’m reconsidering our friendship due to some things that happened. First off, she’s a bit of a pessimistic sarcastic person and judges too fast. I realized our mentalities have changed overtime, because when we discuss we’re often debating which can be exhausting. However, we had the same career goals, and it seems like she wants to move in the city where I live to have better opps and have similar lifestyle as mine
