Given the skin tone and sunglasses, one could put that picture of the suspect they're looking for in there and see if anyone notices

[-] Funky_Beak@lemmy.sdf.org 43 points 3 weeks ago

.... like do they think cheap knockoff sunglasses from a gas station make them look cool? Its got some weird 14 year old boy energy.

[-] lennybird@lemmy.world 26 points 3 weeks ago

My dad is the coolest most scrappiest Appalachian mountain man who managed to escape the cult of republicanism 2 decades ago. This is one remnant, those damn sunglasses, from those days, and I try not to judge but I do cringe a bit. He fucking despises Trump and Republicans, mind you.

Like sunglasses can be cool. I despise richard nixon but having a bunch of dudes in wayfarers behind him in his speeches did look cool. Maybe your dad would like to embrace the wayfarer look?

[-] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 18 points 3 weeks ago

How else do you attract 14yr old boys?

[-] Funky_Beak@lemmy.sdf.org 9 points 3 weeks ago

Well thats a terrifying revelation.

[-] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 7 points 3 weeks ago

On at least two different levels

[-] bstix@feddit.dk 3 points 3 weeks ago

It could be argued which is worse, but it's the same people doing it anyway.

[-] T00l_shed@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

It's cause that's when they peaked.

[-] malloc@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

It's when they peaked mentally, too.

[-] blargh513@sh.itjust.works 8 points 3 weeks ago

No no, they make up the cool by taking a picture from the drivers seat of their 12 year old Ford Escape.

[-] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 2 points 3 weeks ago

I like that sort of glasses for driving. Don't need to be expensive to be good for that

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 33 points 3 weeks ago

I’ve gotten death threats for posting Kirk’s own words about acceptable gun deaths and dismissing empathy, sometimes in the same breath as calling out the “violent left”, while not knowing the ideology of the shooter. They’re fucking insane.

[-] MML@sh.itjust.works 11 points 3 weeks ago

Lol I've just calmly expressed how easily the red hat would make it to dome them at a distance, not one has considered continuing the conversation past that, like yes those are my ideas actually.

[-] sad_detective_man@leminal.space 29 points 3 weeks ago

funniest thing to me is this is exactly how the "person of interest" dressed.

just, well played m'lord

[-] Walk_blesseD@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 3 weeks ago

The median voter strikes again

[-] sausager@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

I was looking for his pic in the group. Missed opportunity imo

[-] falynns@lemmy.world 24 points 3 weeks ago

Why do they always have terrible profile photos. Sunglasses and the same dumb expression.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 17 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

Because they're in the same cult.

Not only is conformity encouraged, but deviating from their group norms even slightly is met with suspicion if not outright fear and hostility.

Plus that's what people who are emotionally stuck in adolescence and/or the 80s think looks cool.

[-] slaneesh_is_right@lemmy.org 4 points 3 weeks ago

I watch some random YouTube videos sometimes, when auto play is on it just plays another random video while i do chores for example. A video owas playing where some guys motorcycle broke down and some random guys helped him. The put it in their barn and worked hard to fix it. In the back was this huge trump 2024 flag just hanging out. To me it's genuinely weird to see. A part ofe thought: "oh no, these people are real and not just on the internet." And how can you be so nice and so fucking stupid at the same time?

[-] The_v@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

Human tribalism at its finest. We really only associate a few hundred people as fully human in our social group at one time.

Take of care of people in your group. People from other groups are less than human and should all be exterminated. It's a highly selected for trait from human evolutionary history.

..."tribalism" is a hard-to-escape fact of human neurology simply because many human brains are not adapted to working with large populations

[-] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Outside of the primitive communism of our hunter/gatherer days we’ve never had a society that is free from a ruling class that sows discord and division to protect themselves. I wouldn’t be so sure that tribalism is innately human and not something that we have been conditioned to by millennia of rule by psychopaths.

[-] Tiger666@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 weeks ago

I agree with you 100%

[-] derry@midwest.social 4 points 3 weeks ago

Hey leave the 80s out of this. Some of us from that time period are not terrible people.

[-] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

True. I was born during the 80s and thought sunglasses were automatically SUPER cool until well into the 90s myself.

That doesn't make me a terrible and/or extremely cringe person, but never progressing from that does, is my point 😉

[-] derry@midwest.social 2 points 3 weeks ago

True. I was born during the 80s Nice. I was a teen/young adult at the time.

and thought sunglasses were automatically SUPER cool until well into the 90s myself. Ha, sunglasses are still cool 😎. Now parachute pants lol j/k

That doesn't make me a terrible and/or extremely cringe person, but never progressing from that does, is my point 😉 Agree 💯.

Cannot for a moment leave a shred of evidence that he even knows what an attractive man might look like.

What an exhausting existence.

[-] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 weeks ago

Lol I'd just answer I don't know what any of them look like and go on with my day

[-] sefra1@lemmy.zip 13 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago)

That's not it their dumb expression, that's their dumb faces.

[-] the_q@lemmy.zip 17 points 3 weeks ago

Why do so many conservatives do sunglasses? Like, isn't their whole schtick that they're individuals and mavericks? Fucking copy paste.

[-] taiyang@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

Right, real mavericks wear monocles and rhyme every so often but not every time. That's the kinda maverick I want avenging me.

[-] DJDarren@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 weeks ago

I want the Mavericks to avenge the night away for me.

[-] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 15 points 3 weeks ago

There's no cognitive dissonance where there's no cognition.

Just letting you know you've forced my hand and I'm stealing that line. 👍

[-] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 12 points 3 weeks ago

What’s the collective noun for chunguses?

[-] Vupware@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 weeks ago

It’s gotta be Chungi, right?

[-] javiwhite@feddit.uk 4 points 3 weeks ago

I think the plural should be chungi, and the collective noun either a clowder, or a murder.

[-] Agrivar@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago

Why would you besmirch cats and crows that way? The collective noun should be something vaguely derogatory, like "heap" or "clump."

[-] LavaPlanet@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 weeks ago

The collective noun should be bag of dicks. Or bag for short.

[-] javiwhite@feddit.uk 2 points 3 weeks ago

Not so much to do with the current designation of clowder, but rather I was inspired by the origin of the word.

A variation, recorded since 1801, of clutter, itself from clot, from Old English clott (“round mass, lump”), from Proto-Germanic *klūtaz (hence cognate with Dutch kloot (“ball, testicle”), Danish klods (“a block, lump”) and German Klotz (“lump, block”)).

As for murder, I think labelling them with their intent is simply a good idea.

I've nothing against crows or cats, but the person who coined their respective collective nouns probably did.

[-] Agrivar@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Ok, I did not know the origin of clowder, and retract my earlier objection.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 3 points 3 weeks ago
[-] Denjin@feddit.uk 9 points 3 weeks ago

Looks suspiciously like the same pictures that keep messaging me on grindr. Coincidence?

[-] ApatheticCactus@lemmy.world 5 points 3 weeks ago

Well, if there was an AI bot swarm to try to affect public opinion, and they needed to generate profile pics...

[-] HootinNHollerin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 weeks ago

Pretty sure I’ve argued with that tnn jerkoff but who knows theres probably 20 that look exactly like him

[-] lack@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

It must be really bright where they all live. And they must live in their cars. Also they like denim.

[-] Ghis@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

In reality it's just yet another example of rightie on rightie violence.
