i fucking hate beards

I'm more perplexed by them. I have curly facial hair, and while I normally sport 2-3 day stubble, I can't go 7 days before the itching becomes unbearable.

Personally, I have enough Native American blood that I could only ever have grown a silly looking Fu Manchu. A full bushy beard was never an option for me. So, I still buy razors, and the skin I regularly exfoliate with them is baby ass smooth.

Somewhere I read of a study where hetero female preferences for facial hair leaned toward the atypical in a group of photos. If most where clean shaven, the beard or mustache would attract more interest, and vice versa. At one time during the beard fad I'd hoped that this would create a niche for me. Alas, facial hair or not can't make up for deep seated pessimism.

I assume men wear beards either because of skin sensitivity to shaving, culture or because they have weak chins. Most beards look like they smell like a dog's cornchip feet, though.

Guilty on all counts, tbf.

my skin is bulletproof, my chin not what i hoped for. my beard isn't quite what i hoped for either.

oh fuck it, I'M really not what i hoped for but at least i have a fucking beard half the year.

Can't be bothered shaving?

IT LOOK GUD

yeah for me it's less "choosing to grow a beard" and more "just haven't shaved"

I just was searching for what length of hair constitutes a beard, but I guess the definition is more expansive than I thought. I am grossed out by half of these pics though.

Not because of the beard but because the guy wearing them are doucheforward.

i would have a beard if i could grow one as i never wet shave, instead i have perennial stubble from using a beard trimmer on its shortest setting every day or two.

big bushy beard as a fashion thing which has persisted from like, i dunno, 2004 major city hipsterdom to 2018 tech-dad who likes craft beer in your local suburb is obv lame and hopefully will be over soon

oh that's the same guy- he'll live for years.

lamébeard, the feyest of the pirates

My spouse has perennial stubble because of skin sensitivities. It really hurts sometimes (most of the time).

im in that boat (not the pirate one) where when things look promising i have a clean shave and if the ship (not the pirate one) then its a no-go for a few days again until im unstubbly enough to touch (or shave again) and tbh a beard is probably the easier option all told

if the ship sails

(not the pirate one)

what

lookit

imagine a pirate with a lamé beard, right, and from there its p simple

darragh is trying to make us believe he isn't a pirate

Big bushy beards will always be trendy in my community

They desire to work at a microbrewery

when the hair fell out of my head it also fell out of my face, which means no beards ever again

in fact there's probably a trauma in this that i've yet to recognise

I honestly cannot remember the last time I used an actual razor to shave my face. At least a decade, for sure. The birds seem to enjoy it.

cant get enough of it, those bell-bottomed birds

good write, sweet prints

I meant the literal birds which nest in my forest of facial hair, in case I wasn't entirely clear.

xp misthreaded that ffs

Just trying one out here:

Hyper-politicization ("everything is political," or the politics of everyday life) is bad for the Left and benefits the Right in the end, and a narrower concept of the political would be a better way to go.

Ditto and imo also true of “ostracize friends/family who vote Republican” which I think strikes most non radicals as cruel not principled.

culture war shit is bad but making being conservative taboo is effective imo

w/friends and family who vote republican but are not particularly going on about politics all the time, i can handle it.

i've had a couple friends who went completely infowars conspiracy theory bonkers/anti-trans/anti-BLM and that's all they talk about all the time, and i quietly vanished from their lives.

pretty hard to ostracize such a large percentage of the population, because they'd have so much company they'd never notice they were excluded.

everything is political because everything is political. Call it whatever you want but it's still political.

“making being conservative taboo is effective”

Strong disagree here and worse I think the delusion that it’s true damages the left, I think most ppl find the ideology bullying, even when they agree with the ideology in principle, gross.

Part of being on the left is believing that everything you do or say or think somehow harms the left.

everything is political because everything is political. Call it whatever you want but it's still political.

alternatively, only politics is political.

When someone's gender or color of their skin is weaponized against their humanity, then yeah, it's all political.

works in scotland tbh. my grandad was pretty obviously a tory but would never come out and say it. their vote is creeping up now due to anxieties around scottish nationalism and the general pull of far-right british nationalism that fits in with the global thing, but after about 4 decades of the taboo being effective
