I'm so curious about these lineup photos. Who's making them? Where are they getting posted? Who are they trying to impress? Do they believe even 10% of what they put on them?

On the other hand, I probably don't want to know anything about it, because the answer is probably disturbing.

It's just not in style, I suppose, but it always made sad when guys were all apologetic about their back hair or whatever. Like it's somehow inherently gross. Love me some hairy mans.


Eh, I'm not apologetic about mine anymore, too old for that, and my fiancee certainly doesn't care, but I ask her to help shave it in the summer anyway. Much more comfortable. Mine isn't nearly as bad as that gif, but you'd be surprised how much difference it makes.

It's Mayra Rosales in 2008 at approximately 1,036lbs. Her sister accused her of killing her 2-year old nephew with an accidental blow to the head, but it was determined (obviously) that Rosales couldn't even lift her arm. The sister actually did it. Rosales is better now.

Pokemon is old enough to drink.

I don't know if that makes it classic and don't have any opinion on the matter really, but I'm pretty sure it's closer chronologically to the beginning of the modern video game industry than it is the present time.

I don't think any major companies or retailers accept them as bitcoins. At best they may accept them through some third party that does the conversion to actual currency at checkout.

I'll admit I wish I'd had the foresight to mine a bit back when it was something you could run in the background on your normal computer and still bank a solid sum instead of mocking it relentlessly, but I still stand by the only thing it being good for is selling to gullible idiots.

My dad sometimes wore a fedora but then he also wore a suit every day to work and was like 50 so :shrug:

I'm not saying he looked particularly cool but it didn't look silly. Now the leather trilby he wore in the 60s, on the other hand...

e: Oh I forgot my point it's that hats never look good with informal clothes.

I assume you mean just douchey nerd hats and not just hats in general. Various caps (baseball, tuques, etc.) look perfectly fine with informal clothes.

But when hats every day was a thing, there were certainly hats that looked perfectly fine with some informal clothes within the context of the fashion of that time period. Picture a suburban 50s dad standing out in front of the grill in his knit sport shirt and narrow-brimmed woven hat. Different hats for different occasions. And I imagine someone back then would have looked just as retarded wearing the wrong hat for whatever attire as someone does wearing any of those hats with any attire today.

There's no all-purpose hat just as there's no all-purpose shoe or jacket or shirt or anything else. It's not hats' fault. Hats are fine in some contexts, they're just rarely fashionable. And that's what it ultimately boils down to, these nerds just not understanding fashion.

Jerry Cotton posted:

The English language probably doesn't make as clear a distinction between hat and not-a-hat as Finnish. A baseball cap is not a hat in my culture.

Maybe it does and I'm just failing to make it. I've always sort of thought it to be an all caps are hats, but not all hats are caps kind of thing.

But fair enough either way.

The thing that gets me about these friendzone, incel, fedora wearing guys on dating sites is that they never seem to have any hobbies that aren't "video games, anime, and thinking". They're so bad at selling themselves that they either try to cow women into submission with their huge intellect (lol) or they go the pity route and talk about how every girl they've ever known has been repulsed by them. I'm surprised there isn't a Wikihow page on "how to get women interested in you" with one step that reads "become interesting".

They never bother to actually demonstrate their claimed intelligence either. Or any sort of effort or ambition. It's always just "everyone is so frightened and envious of my herculean intellect that I was cast out from the educational system as they were unable to handle one so able as myself of dismantling their foolish and childish notions of the ways of the world, and so I must deign to work as a cashier at K-Mart (because mom said I have to have a job if I want to continue living at home)".

Just going off his looks (without letting his opinions ruin it all), I'd give him a partial pass. Yeah, there's the fedora, but he went to the effort of putting together an outfit that's period appropriate, instead of wondering whether his black fedora goes better with his Rarity or his Hatsune t-shirt.

I wouldn't. Zoot suits were never cool, even when they were a thing. So unless he's cosplaying a tool at some period-themed function, it's still awful. And as it looks like he's dressed for a school dance, he gets no pass in his rented bad decision.

Yeah, Cab was cool despite the zoot suit. It's like the hat thing. Some people look cool or good in spite of it, never because, and those people would probably be cooler/better looking without.

Just rocks and mud. Specific objectives vary by expedition though. We're a research vessel, NSF funded program, and as we don't have a blowout preventer, we definitely don't want to hit oil or gas.
