Shaving your head when balding is a coward move. Balding good-looking fellas still look good with male-pattern baldness.


Maybe if you had good hair prior to balding, but my hair is thin and straight and my head looks like a radish if I don't take it back to 0.5.

No, dude, lean into it. Grow out your long straggly hair. Go to the gym and get real thin but with a surprising strength in your old bones. Start wearing cloaks. Buy one of these, mount it on a staff, carry the staff with you wherever you go. Develop a menacing cackle. Start offering people great power as long as they're willing to pay the price.

My head hair isn't up for swamp wizard but my eyebrows definitely are. There's a bunch on either side that strive constantly for a Monarch look.

Oh, no, I like not being tired. I enjoy having slept. I would just prefer to be able to feel that way without having to dedicate so much time to it. It's like, do I enjoy video games? Sure. Does that mean I enjoy waiting several hours for them to download? No. If I could get the good bit without the time-wasting that would be ideal.

I was chatting to my wife about scifi machines recently, and I realised that one I really wish existed was Judge Dredd's Total Relaxation Inducer. A full night's sleep in ten minutes? Yes please!

That said, I like the feeling of dozing. The half asleep state I really enjoy. If that was sleep, I'd love sleeping.

The 'asleep' bit, is in fairness, not experienced. It's the liminal states that are the nice bits.

Balding guys don’t really look bad and it’s fine to just grow out your hair still even when balding. You don’t need to give up and shave your head. Like a lot of traits, it’s only unattractive if you are obviously insecure.

In fact I am very unattracted to shiny shaved head regardless of age, makes me wonder how often you have to shave it to hide your obvious male pattern baldness, but that’s just me. Embrace your hair that’s left, balding dudes

E: or don’t, if you like the fully bald look. I’m just annoyed how any hairline loss is responded to with “best shave it off” when no, you really don’t need to

Eh, my hair was pretty poo poo when I had a full head, really fine and straight. Now I go for a .5 and head of Action Man style velour. If I had the volume, I'd happily go the Dr Weird look.

Running is fun and I look down on anyone who is able bodied but can’t do like a measly 5k

I have the feeling some people are able to just shut off their minds when running and find it meditative.

Personally, I find it not mindless enough to do that, but also not interesting enough to enjoy being in the moment with it.

Which leaves me bored and unable to distract myself from the general unpleasantness of it. Running, by itself, sucks.

Give me a sport to play though, and I'll keep going for ages.

Seriously though I can never bring myself to throw away a box or a manual, I'm glad I can call it being responsible now instead of hoarding

I occasionally buy guitar pedals from Yahoo! Japan through Buyer and the number of pedals that are 20+ years old but with the original box and instructions is fascinating. I bought an 80's synth recently that was still in its original box.

I keep manuals, but gently caress boxes.

I've been watching the Australian version of Taskmaster, and it's pretty bad. That got me thinking, I can't think of a single funny Australian. America, England, Scotland, Canada, New Zealand, every other country in the anglosphere has produced tons of funny people. But not Australia. I'm starting to think there's something unique about Australia that retards comedic development.

As an Australian, I feel there's some comedy formats that just don't work well here. Satire and parody seem to work well, but sitcoms don't. Sketch comedy can be hit and miss. I feel Taskmaster is a particularly British thing, and probably wouldn't work in any other country.

Also be on the look out for the step where you get to gently caress a sex doll with skynet in it, shortly before it kills everyone.

It might be a narrow window in time, so get ready. :shrug:
