Military worshippers. Tacticool cosplay. Currently employed in large numbers by ICE.
Is the valor thief not a bigger fan of the military than the Kyle & the Jodie, ultimately, the better lover to the Jodie?
Yeah I think this wins.
Saw a guy in the airport with a freaking tactical baby carrier. Ultimate poser move.
Well but MOLLE is pretty practical for a baby carrier. You can add lots of attachments like bottle holders. And having a baby in front of you is basically like a meat shield, if someone shoots at you the projectile still needs to penetrate the baby to hit you. I don’t see an issue there.
Oh I’ve seen one of those … just bizarre. I feel sorry for the baby.
Telling your child almost immediately after birth that you’re embarrassed to be seen carrying/being around them. Not a great look for a new dad.
What even is that?
Oh, it’s simply something for men who are super worried about other men thinking they’re manly enough. They think having a child makes them weak, and so they have to macho it up to super prove to other men that just because they’re… tough? Super manly tough. Like really macho awesome bicep manly.
I mean what makes a baby carrier “tactical”? Being black, tan, or camouflage fabric? A lot of loops?
Tan military style coloring, padding simulating “armor”, tactical bulky pockets mimicking pockets on military gear, it was pretty obvious if you saw it.
I looked up
tactical baby carrier
and they really do not look all that different than when I look up
baby carrier
Granted, I’m not into fashion or anything. I would have no problem using either of these.
Okay, was there a baby in it (or at least nearby)? Style, even if bad taste is one thing, but if they were using that as gear, that’s a whole different story
Meal team 6 reporting for duty sir!
Many have pointed out that the point of fandom is to be a fan of the fandom & to have conversations on rails. In that sense I don’t think the distinction is meaningful. You’re supposed to rant at your loved ones & friends about shit they hardly understand & vice versa. Not just endlessly recite confirnation you have the same interests to other “fans”.
The car fandom. The amount of people who can’t explain how a motor works but try to mansplain me how one motor is “better than the other” simply because it has more displacement is… Staggering.
Someone recently told me that electrical motors are bad for the environment because you need to replace the brushes every few thousand kilometers.
And to top it all off, apparently older cars are better for the environment because bigger motors run more efficiently when they’re not at 100% power. I nearly get an aneurysm talking to those people.
Oh my dog, yes.
Extra torture is talking to people like this while daring to be female!
I’ve literally had men tell me that my car, that I am driving, is a) just a completely different car with a body kit, b) a kit car, c) illegal to use on the road, d) a gas guzzler because it’s a V8, e) cool because it was in Back to the Future
The car in question? An old and bone stock Dodge Daytona, which is none of those things.
I’m not that into or familiar with cars, but I can do what I consider the basics: replacing lightbulbs/wipers, changing oil, changing tires, jumping/replacing a battery, etc. I moved to a new country with a different language, where very few people do their own auto work.
I’m a woman who doesn’t know any of the vernacular for mechanical issues, and so they just completely ignore me. My husband seems like he might be into cars, but he was astonished when I changed his headlight for him while we were dating. Now we just go together. They only talk to him, but I make the decisions (he used to pay €200 for the headlight replacement, which he considers normal and which I find profoundly overpriced- I won’t do my own brakes, because I don’t want my last thought to be about how I shouldn’t have done my own brakes, but it’s very easy to figure out if you did the light right).
Now we just go together. They only talk to him
What the fuck, if I’d be your husband I’d just tell them to “talk to my wife because she knows more about cars than me”.
Good on you for being willing to give it a go :-)
As someone who can rebuild pretty much any part of an internal combustion car, there’s no shame in being careful with safety items. Also, brake work is nasty, dirty, and often swear-inducing … so you’re not missing out, lol
Yeah, I’ve helped others with brake jobs, and it’s no fun. That and my experience with handling asbestos claims are also probably pretty big factors
This 100% as a fan of cars and the technology and beauty of it all the amount of people who say they like cars but don’t know shit is hilarious.
It’s OK to say you like cars and don’t know how they work. But the moment they’re laughing at me because I don’t know the current model lineup of BMW, while simultaneously not being able to explain what a carburetor is, is where I draw the line.
carbrains can’t extinct fast enough
The Alabama Crimson Tide
The finals of major sports. Zero fucks given for the entire season, but that last game/series has everyone invested in the outcome.
