ppl grow beards because it is a craze, not because it makes them more masculine. this is how fashion works: other people are doing it, and everybody agrees it's cool, so you do it too.

the reasons facial hair came back into fashion in the first place are probably more complex, but could be summarized as "because it wasn't cool before, which is enough to make it cool now." this is why fashion cycles about every 20 years; long enough for a thing not cool to become cool then become not cool then become cool.

The facial hair trend is weird because I went from being a hobo and unable to pick up girls, to being considered attractive/able to pick up just about anyone. Its on the decline again I think, but its been a loving wild ride. I don't understand fashion at all.

No I guarantee you these idiots are sober and just having stupid hugging parties because they are weird fuckers.

MDMA cuddle parties are actually cool and usually have music and the girls shave their pits/don't have tumblr haircuts and you may even end up banging them.

But now you can't be a post-apocalyptic urban badass like you could in the 70s/80s. Parts of my little western Canadian town are worse than NY now.

I can't tell if the uploader is trolling or not, and I can't tell if you referencing this is a troll or not. Help :(

That looks like a nice part of town and the people seem friendly/largely uninterested. When he stopped and looked at the two girls I thought he was going to get his rear end beat. Instead they kept talking.

OK OK I get it, some of you guys live in a worse shithole than East Hastings, but calling it nice is funny. It is objectively horrible - not dangerous - but a jarring concentration of poverty, drug use and mental illness and decay in an otherwise affluent city.

Some fat white guy stopped and stared at people and no one even shot him a glare nevermind hassling him. There are literally well maintained office buildings, multiple businesses, a bunch of normal people who clearly have jobs, and a few hippies/lesbians/junkies hanging around but otherwise minding their own business.

It's nice in the context of walking down it, and it's far from bad. It's obviously not affluent or flashy.

"parts of my city are more violent than NYC now!"

first, it's canada. lol.

second, NYC really isn't that violent anymore. it was way worse in the 80s, last time I was there a GC told me about using padlocks & log chains to lock up work trucks to keep easily saleable bits -- usually the battery -- from getting jacked from parked trucks. now NYC has a violent crime rate per capita that is lower than the national average.

third, compare it to an actual shithole, with desperate people, lots of guns, and drug habits. your average US town has armed methheads running around or blowing up their homes.

per capita, cities tend to be safer.

The not-rich Brooklyn neighborhood I lived in was solidly middle class and safe, there was a Macy's and a Starbucks and a shopping district, old timers would complain it wasn't all I-talian which was fun, I guess it was people like me from the Midwest going to school causing that change originally-

But when rent prices next door suddenly went up to $5000 bucks it was a bunch of weirdly out of shape bearded oddly dressed fixed gear bike riders and their plastic frame glasses suspenders girlfriends smirking weirdly who were paying for it. Like there was a factory churning them out somewhere.

Other millennial non-hipsters watched confused. A bunch of jersey shore-ish locals into weightlifting who grew up in the area would get angry as beardy mcglassestattooneck gave them attitude and really awkward imbalanced shoving matches would break out. I saw a guy (in a newsboy cap and suspenders) get out of his car and break a plastic shower curtain rod over a much larger guys head one day over a parking spot

well judging by the twinkish, baby-smooth appearance they definitely aren't a man
