You’ve spent the past couple of days taking the piss out of a dude for something completely out of his control. gently caress off.
To be fair though it's not outside his control, there is a very fine and soon to be knighted example in the grid of how it can be controlled. Which then makes it Seb's conscious choice as a German who exercises his raw and irresistible will over himself and the world. Phwoar.

I don't think hair transplants can replace a completely barren scalp. It's more a solution for receding hairlines like Lewis had. If your situation is like Vettel it helps thinning hair look thicker for a while until everything except the transplanted hair falls off and you kind of look ridiculous (happened to my father).

So just so I understand, its all good to poo poo all over Hamilton and his hair/plugs but jokes about seb being bald are off limits? This is a legit question because you can't do one and then complain about the other. Or you can I guess because I couldn't care less.

lol at not having the testicular fortitude to double down on your lovely "bald = bad" narrative and gently caress off with that false 'rich bald white man' poo poo you loving coward.

Going bald is not fun, it eats away at your confidence. It sucks. It's a fact of life, but it sucks. Making it a 'rich white guy' problem is extremely regressive and you can get hosed for that.

As a balding white man I can see myself in seb. Quite literally, it's a very shiny scalp.

I love that seb is embracing his middle age and not pretending he's an up and coming young driver anymore, but on the other hand he's bald and that is funny.

I hope he also regrows his moustache

However he’s in a helmet, so it doesn’t matter. The real win is he’s now lighter and they can increase the ballast to meet the minimum weight, lowering the center of gravity. Big brain stuff.

Given how severe those pictures look (especially compared to Abu Dhabi two months ago), I honestly thought the bald pics were him just loving around like he did with the mustache. Most younger guys that start going bald seem to prefer either shaving their heads (e.g. all bald Youtubers) or doing the all-over short buzz. If he's sticking with the old man horseshoe, though, he should bring that mustache back to really sell the look.

His hair has been disguising his hairline a bit lately, and wearing a cap all the time makes it easy to ignore. I'm guessing he's just buzzed it all off since getting haircuts at the moment isn't easy.

People kept talking about air fryers and then I googled that they’re just convection ovens and it’s just a marketing thing that they sell them as a separate tool and now I’m ready to fight about them.

Also lol I don’t know if it’s specific to america but somehow people insist that it’s “healthier” because it doesn’t use oil as they immediately ‘air fry’ several dozen tater tots to cover in ketchup and cheese.

I don’t have an air fryer. Do not plan on getting an air fryer. The argument that the air fryer is an absurd creation because of the existence of the convection oven and people should just tear out and throw out their perfectly fine normal oven for a convection one instead of an air fryer is loving insane.

If they just called the fuckin thing a convection (toaster) oven I wouldn’t throw a fit about it.

Okay fair, I was drunk and did an awful job explaining what I meant. I was trying pick at the people who act like the difference between them being fit and fat was the air fryer, rather than the fact they’re eating a shitload of bad food either way.

This is also reasonable. I just fuckin hate the hype and want people to stop pretending it’s some space age poo poo when it’s just a god drat convection oven. I’m not buying another $400 loving kitchen gadget to try and carve out a niche for. I’ve made it this far with my other heat sources and my tacos have never once come out too sweet.

Have you heard of this thing called marketing? It turns out if you change the name of a product it can sell more.
