No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

MODERATORS
Intelligence work is done largely in offices. Phone networks, data centers, etc.
In field operatives wear plain clothes and use "behavioral engineering" to get information. They just try and get people to talk more than they should through friendly conversation.
The fighting doesn't happen. Its reckless, draws attention, and no one is going to tell you anything after you've beat them silly.
Homicide detectives also do not get into alterations because the altercation has already happened. When they get enough of a lead on someone they notify dispatch and they send a pair of officers to pick up the suspect.
Real life does not have fisticuffs.
If the suit isn't cut extremely tight, it's not that hard to move in a suit. Especially if you're not wrestling or doing high kicks.
Exactly I had a habit back in the day of walking around in a pretty nice suit and I would easily jump into a hackysack circle, baffling some, but a loose cut suit makes maneuvering easy
It's not a suit but there is plenty I've done in jeans:
- 15km hike with 1000m vert
- 15 minutes kicking a floor to ceiling bag
- a 10 km run
- messing about with capoeira
It's not that hard, people just have this idea of certain clothes being appropriate and it seems to extend into this idea that they're also necessary. Admittedly, I wouldn't recommend these, but if there is something I want to do and I only have jeans then 🤷♂️
Flawlessly.
Everything James Bond has is tailored to him; why wouldn’t his suits be the same? Same with his mundane gadgets having all kinds of secret features? Same with his suit. I just assume it’s a bespoke suit that is cut very well and has secret features like everything else he uses.
Or: he can make video calls on a watch in the 1960s and mobility in a suit is where you draw the line??
Yeah the general concept is... Agents and Detectives aren't the line of fire people. Detectives are called in AFTER the action is long over, and regular cops would be the ones doing the chasing in the .01% of situations where there's someone on scene to chase.
Most types of "agents" are pretty boring overall. Interviews, note taking, or if it is excitement they are undercover so, they'd wear what matters for that role.
and of course 99% of combat is, draw a gun, aim for the center of mass.
Physical violence is mostly only done by badly trained beat cops, or failed beat cops that are now ice agents.
Tailoring and elastic
Mainly because he's cool.
Suits for action films are tailored in such a way that they have better range of movement than a typical suit does. If I recall correctly, it mostly involves looser shoulders and crotch with more fabric in the areas that need to stretch.
Under Armour material tailored to look like suits.
1 . its a movie m get over it 2 . Actual intelligence work doesn't require you to run and fight , especially not hand to hand combat 3 . actual agents wear normal clothes which fits their environments and taste
Rude, you're treating this like it's a stupid question.
Lol
This comment is basically all the other answers but shorter...
Point one is the rude part. The others don't contain that.
I'd argue the flak was unevenly distributed since this is effectively the same point:
Step one for James Bond is being a fictional character.
By living on a diet of 34% sodium and he does it shaken and not stirred.
Running in a suit is probably a lot easier than running in all the kit police officers need to wear. In the UK -
Boots Thick trousers Body armour Belt with baton/cuffs/radio and potentially taser Jacket.
