It's adorable how many fragile men think of their body hair as some sort of precious totem of masculinity. Whoever posted that probably includes a machete in their masturbation ritual. You don't need to do a brazilian wax job, but keep that poo poo trimmed. It's cleaner, looks nicer, and feels better.

FEAR MY SHARK ROCKET IT REALLY SUCKS AND BLOWS
In 2008 I decided to go to a Halloween party as Hannah Montana. Part of the gag was, of course, shaving my legs and wearing a skirt.

I did it and put on sweatpants to go to the party and thought "drat, this is actually really comfortable..."

Maybe I’m doing the toxic masculinity here, but one thing that will always stick with me is a friend telling me about how she finally hooked up with a long time crush, but during the sex, all she could think about was how hairy his rear end in a top hat was. Certainly inspiration to keep it high and tight downstairs

Also just as a perfidious bi, giving head is much better when you ain’t picking pubes out of your teeth.

I just bought clippers for this very reason (and because I was disgusted by my last haircut where I paid the hairdresser $20 to essentially do the same thing. Didn't even use scissors that time)

I use clippers and do my own haircuts. Half inch sides and back, an inch on the top. Keep 'em sharpened and you're good to go.

Long ago, I remember hearing about someone famous getting a haircut basically weekly. I used to think "That seems excessive" but now I'm like, "Oh, that would be the life."

That person? Barack Obama. And the thread's back on track folks, we did it *applause at ground control*

Pretty much all our problems today were problems then, just slightly less obvious or less publicized. It's just that the opposition was more concerned about tan suits than mass deportations or middle Eastern genocides and so on.

I think the difference is that in the old days they felt the need to contrive some justification to the public to crowd out candidates they didn't like, and now they just directly rig the elections.

You'd think the type of Boomers who posted that sort of high-larious joke would love self checkout because of the "lazy" employees who are "paid not to work".




If your "faith and doctrine" requires you to support a genocidal apartheid ethnostate, either your "faith and doctrine" is wrong or you're misinterpreting it.

The person who posted this is not Jewish; he's a Christian friend of my family's.

Ah but self-checkout is also inconvenient, and the older you are the more inconvenient and puzzling it is to have to operate unfamiliar technology.

So it's probably a dead heat between Boomers' hatred of service workers and hatred of being personally inconvenienced.

Boomer story:

My mother-in-law once got so frustrated with a self-checkout that she started beating it with a baguette. After that she refused to use them again until the day she died. She would rather wait in line for as long as it took.

She was always nice and polite to cashiers and servers, though.

They usually square this by holding checkout staff to some impossible nostalgic standard - they bristle at having to do their own checkout, hate the actual people who work tills for [reasons] but love the platonic ideal of a checkout clerk who wears a perfectly ironed apron, stands up for an entire 8hr shift, has a permanent sunny grin, thinks "no price tag so it must be free, right?" is the funniest joke ever, will compliment their product choices as they scan them, knows all the stock prices and can work out change instantly without going through the till and will let them indulge in some 'harmless' flirting.

Those (non-existent) workers deserve a job (no more than minimum wage, obviously. The boomer creeds of "minimum skills, minimum wage" and thinking that retail/service work requires no skill or effort still applies) but if they fall below this fantastical standard - and especially if they dare ask for a wage that keeps up with living costs - then boomers take positive joy in seeing 'entitled lazy kids' get replaced by machines.

And then they can pivot to posting about how there's no staff to help them and how hard to use the machines are and Why No One Wants To Work Any More. The cycle is complete.
