If not anime specifically, definitely Japan in general, because that looks like some sort of halfassed decora style, which is I guess supposed to look like you sprayed someone with glue and rolled them through a pile of stickers and barrettes and candy.




Only like all those weird Japanese street fashions it looks even more ridiculous when it's not a teenage Japanese street model.

Is it some sort of rule that every "street model" has to point their toes inward like that?

This guy looks like the kind of guy who hits on a friend of mine. She always gets these burnt out Trent Reznor wanna be guys in the 40s and 50s.

Like Don here


She labeled this as "the guy who steals all the medication from your cabinet when you're still asleep".

And I hate how guys who grow beards just think "hey i'm going to stop shaving" and that's it. You need to wash it, clean it, brush it, make sure poo poo dosn't get into it. But nope, they'd rather get their epic beard full of special sauce.

I recently chopped my beard off but I got into a fair number of conversations about that. It actually takes more effort to properly maintain a beard than it does to shave, especially if you let it get big. If you don't properly tend it a beard gets disgusting and it does it fast.

Yup. The number of gross bushy beards I see around is uncountable. I went to rib fest and saw a bunch of guys in tapout clothes with bbq sauce covered beards.

That I can see, lots of women too. Often they'll find each other and be happy, but more often than not those guys will hit on women 10+ years younger than them. It's literally that bit in the Venture Bros were Pete White goes to Trianna and says "I was the first at my college to play the Bauhaus".

A friend of mine is a 34-year-old punk with borderline personality disorder. You'd never guess how old she was because she looks young and still tries to live her life like she's just turned 21. She basically does nothing but transfer between different peoples' houses to crash at and go to parties and shows while putting off job interviews and having vague ideas of getting back into painting. I've basically given up on any attempts to help her out because she just won't take anything that doesn't hand her a million dollars on the spot.

Is she one of those people who refuses to get a job because they won't get paid until 2 weeks after they start?

I was handed a card by someone for a specialty beard shop that opened recently. I looked them up and they basically take a bottle of Argan oil, put a tiny bit of "masculine" scent in it, then mark it up about 800%.

The ones in their 30's and 40's that did get their poo poo together or had it together at an appropriate age tend to be pretty cool. Like they're 40 and have a decent job that pays well enough because they've been with the same company for years so now they just go to bed at 11pm because they have to make their step kids breakfast in the morning before school.

They're just covered in tattoos and have a lot of black shirts with skulls on them.

Oh that sounds insufferable. Like I keep debating on subbing to Dollar Shave Club because its being pimped at me at from all my podcasts, so I'm like eh this doesn't seem bad, and I always run out of blades when I don't have any money, and its like 5bux a month, but they sell a lot of other stuff and the beard care stuff just sounds like a waste.

Considering how much minis are, weather you're going GW or Warmachine or Star Wars Legion or anything really, that has to be impressively expensive.

Ugh. I've known people like that. One literally just mooched on his mom until she died. When she did, he sold the house, used the money to go back to school and actually has a pretty decent job now, but before that he just would avoid going to interview for stuff, claimed he was going to make money first doing a web coming, then writing writing apps, then he was going to become a pro gamer, then a youtuber. If he haddn't had his wakeup call he probably would have been talking about becoming a twitch streamer or something now. But when he did get an interview setup he'd just not go, giving excuses not unlike those "oh my favorite shirt was dirty" "I forgot to buy subway tokens" "I started playing X and forgot about the time".

Keep in mind that the girl I'm talking about (can you even call her a "girl" at 34) has borderline personality disorder. It's not just laziness, but an actual chemical imbalance that makes her prone to impulsive and self-destructive behaviors, exaggerated emotional reactions and feelings of abandonment, and black-and-white thinking. There's no medical cure beyond therapy to try and get them to take control of their own mind, which isn't guaranteed.

As someone whose ex had undiagnosed BPD, it's an absolutely terrible thing for both the sufferer and everyone around them. It's unfortunately the kind of mental illness where you feel a strong desire to keep the victim at arm's length to avoid being dragged down yourself when they spiral into drug abuse, intentionally putting themselves in dangerous situations, and screaming fits at everyone.

Trap sprung (?) but finding a good beard oil really made a difference during the months I grow a beard. I'd genuinely recommend trying it at least once.
