Fake. The guy is holding the phone to his ear instead of yelling at it on speaker phone.

[–] nieminen 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

For real, one of my least favorite in recent trends. Nobody wants to hear your whole freaking conversation.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

I do! It's like a lemmy comment thread IRL. I can give my opinion to complete strangers, completely unasked for, and free of charge.

Hey @nieminen I like your socks

You may not like it, but this is what peak male form looks like

[–] suodrazah 28 points 3 days ago

This comic has always been a basis for my belief that balding men should just own it and shave their heads. The Picard haircut has always looked strange to me and not very stylish

[–] [email protected] 48 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Your choice when balding is to shave it and start lifting.

Nothing else.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

Don't forget the beard.

Bollocks. I've never lifted in my life. Bald for 25 years, and I've done alright for myself.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

the thing about balding that I didn't expect is how fast the hair I have left grows. It's like I have to shave it every week if I don't want to look like that.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Every week? I shave every day. I don't want my scalp all stubbly.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

idk man, my scalp gets all dry and then if I counter by moisturizing it gets all shiny. I just give up, if I'm not seeing people I care about I'm not gonna shave it

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well that's, like, your opinion. Lotta people want to dig out that Picussy.

[–] prof_wafflez 2 points 1 day ago

Picussy

A new term for the "terrifying sounding words" vault lol

Guys with long hair are hot, i'm not dating a man that looks like andrew fucking tate

[–] [email protected] 22 points 3 days ago

Having a great personally is hot aswell as empathy/sympathy. 👌👌👌👌

[–] [email protected] 23 points 3 days ago

I'm gonna stay in relatively decent shape, shave my head and take my future kids trick or treating as Agent 47.

Best part is it won't matter what I wear I just need a barcode on my head.

Making a phone call??? What is this?

[–] Shardikprime 42 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Bros calling the cops on them because of the earshot sexual harassment

[–] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

At least faking a call so they leave him alone.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You can listen to voice messages like this too you know?

[–] someguy3 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Lies, that has to be on speakerphone.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

I don't always want people around me to listen to spicy voice mails from my SO.

[–] MisterFrog 1 points 2 days ago

Expedient texting. Or hanging out, but over distance.

Riddle me this, call not-likers: what is the difference between calling your friend, over the phone, and calling them on your teamspeak of choice (or whatever is popular these days).

Is it the impromptu nature of it? Just don't answer when it's not convenient then, it's not the 90s, they can follow up with a text if you can't pick up.

Is it the talking to people in general? Then I fail to see why calls are the issue.

This is assuming you know the personal calling, via callerID.

Is it you feel more rushed and flustered because you can't see each other, and thus can't pick up on visual cues?

All in all, thoroughly confused why people have an aversion to calls, I think they're rather expedient and useful. Depending on what's called for. (I feel this way in both work and social contexts).

All this DAD bod means is a woman wanted me to be her daddy.

To Real, obviously.

To really emphasize this misuse of too and loose the point of the statement.

[–] FlexibleToast 3 points 3 days ago
