A lack of consequences because leaders and property owners are far out of reach.....

I would outlaw whatever culture changed kids from saying piercings to calling them gauges.

[Basanos]

I always assumed they were called gauges for the same reason you refer to lengths of chain or cable in gauges, or shotgun shells... the radius or diameter of the little insert thing? I guess I never really thought about how or why they became called that, nor do I know if they actually start with a piercing

I just know they look unappealing, like nose rings, to me. I love tattoos, I'll probably get even more than I have now, but I never got into the gauges or the body mod stuff. I saw a dude that had the ball bearing studs in his face once, didn't look like much fun to me

[Jibartik]

Yeah I dont get it.

Long dresses is where it's at.

Suspenders on men.

[Basanos]

Hmm I've never owned suspenders and I am about to go to the store. I'm 40. Maybe it's time.

There are certain milestones in men's lives.

One milestone is when you're forced to buy a minivan.

Another is when you decide to wear suspenders.

They both make me want to put a bullet through my brain.

[Jibartik]

Just make sure you dont also wear the belt. That really pisses some folk off.

I have long wanted to purchase a minivan, and I don't even have kids. It's just she and I the majority of the time, I'd like to get a cheap one and convert into a mini-RV like I've seen in those videos. Or one of those skoolie conversions would also be fun.

It might just be easier to buy a small RV, I have an old Ranger that can probably tow a light one.

I doubt I can even park a school bus in my neighborhood for the purposes of gutting it out, but my aunt has some acreage she'd probably let me use.

I'm surprised you're cool with minivans.

They seem like the ultimate suburban ball-and-chain. A physical manifest of capitalist rat trap consumerism.

I'm THIS close to going Commie if I hear them put another Led Zepplin song on a minivan commercial.

It's like trucks, or large F-350 type trucks. If I see one that is immaculate, with giant tires on it, I see it as wasteful. If I see one that is obviously being used for work, it is less wasteful. I would triple the income taxes for twenty years of anyone who is caught rolling coal.

Same goes for pretty much any vehicle. There's a place for all of these vehicles, even ones that use gasoline, in almost any type of economy. I dislike what automobiles have done to American society, but it's not the car's fault, it's the car company that has outsized influence on our politics.

I have always seen car culture crap as being heavily influenced by a lot of the sillier aspects of toxic masculinity.

I see that for like 90% of western society.
