fprawn,

Middle aged men today? They’re millennials and that’s called a 1000 yard stare.

You’ll understand soon.

They’re thinking about the house they can’t afford.

Mongostein,

This would make me stare more. Maybe even say something, like, “are you ok?”

Yeah, if I’m staring at you, it means a) I’m thinking about what I’m cooking at home, or balancing HOR production with HOR-to-fuel conversion in Satisfactory and b) my eyes are so bad (I haven’t had prescription glasses for years now) that you’re a blur of colors.

That said, I wonder if she likes board games.

But all men are creeps, surely you’re lying? Men only stare at woman because they’re pigs, obviously. /s

deadbeef79000,

That’s a horrible thing to say about women.

Heh, I see what you dud there

tastysnacks,

I feel the eyes one. When I was a kid and showing old people how to use a computer, I used to think they were slow. Like they had to think. Now that I’m older, I’m waiting for my eyes to focus.

I remember being young and thinking middle-aged people are staring at me because they want me /they disapprove/whatever.

Now I'm middle aged myself, I know the staring is way more likely to either be something along the lines of "ah that kid is so 90s, I never had that green colour but blue Fudge used to wash out to green like that..."

Or "have we run out of natural yoghurt, we bought that 500ml pottle last week but we had curry twice, maybe I should get some more..."

TexasDrunk,

Or “have we run out of natural yoghurt, we bought that 500ml pottle last week but we had curry twice, maybe I should get some more…”

This is me. I have to really watch where I’m zoning out because I have absolutely been called out for staring when my brain was miles away.

livus,
@livus@kbin.social avatar

Me too, it's like the boring version of those "reveries" in Westworld.

melpomenesclevage,

Don’t worry.get enough PTSD and you can have the cool version too!

A_Very_Big_Fan,

I did this once in freshman year HS. I was sitting on my friend’s desk zoned out staring at a book on someone else’s desk, and I came out of it when a girl said “THOSE ARE BOOBS”

Idk how long I was staring, but I was still kinda pissed because she was just standing in front of me for no discernable reason.

macrocarpa,

“OK so she must’ve bleached the full head then done the green side first, then the black side. Man her scalp must be itchy as fuck. What did I used to use to stop the burn? Coconut oil? Yeah that’s right. Smelt like Malibu for a week or so, and had to throw out that set of pillow cases. Man that sucks, I loved those pillow cases, perfect for winter. I wonder if you can still get them?”

livus,
@livus@kbin.social avatar

Morpheus: ".... and find out just how deep the rabbit hole goes." Only it's more like an interconnected maze of rabbit holes leading everywhere. I wonder if you can still get "pina colada" Malibu?

Theoretically she could part her hair with a knife and bleach the green side, wait 20 min and put the black side on with a toothbrush, then wash it and add the green as required?

I love how Gen Z has gone back to all that stuff.

Timecircleline,

With a knife?? Why not a comb???

livus,
@livus@kbin.social avatar

There's probably fancy metal hairdressing combs that would do it, but the "prow" of a normal comb is too blunt to separate the hair perfectly. You end up with strands from the left on the right etc.

The old DIY trick is to turn a sharp-pointed knife upside down so that the blade doesn't face the scalp, and then use the point to gently part the hair. That's how you get a perfect straight parting.

Timecircleline,

Okay, that’s a relief. I thought you were meaning to actually use a butterknife. I’ve only seen it done with rat tail combs so I was worried.

livus,
@livus@kbin.social avatar

It could get bad if you sliced your scalp!

anothercatgirl,

I’ve gotten multicolor hairdo once. The darker colors don’t need bleach at all, just put black over natural.

If you separate your hair strands properly you can apply both dyes at the same time in one session, minimal crossbleeding.

hordenduopol,

I’m still wondering how the 90s entered kids garderobes again overnight. Sometimes I see a very funny xxxxxxxxwide jeans and I talk about that with my kids in the car and yes I do stare a bit with curiosity and amusement.

livus,
@livus@kbin.social avatar

Fashion goes in cycles. Personally I'm just waiting for the nice wide jeans to filter down to an affordable price point and then I'm going to get some for myself.

I hate skinny jeans. They feel cloying and I'm pretty sure they promote swamp crotch.

nomous,

As I’ve aged and having been around for both fads I feel like a waist that fits but with very roomy legs is probably the most comfortable.

5in1k,

Even non skinny jeans got tight. I have really old Dickies pants and newer ones the same size. The legs are thinner and less comfortable, I buy 2-4 sizes up so my legs can move about at work.

livus,
@livus@kbin.social avatar

It sort of felt like capitalism was embracing the skinny leg trend and that's how it became so ubiquitous even outside of fashion. Same price, less fabric.

oatscoop, (edited )

I know this Is an old post, but in the early 2000s 70’s fashion came back in vogue – a 30 years difference. And 30 years ago from today is the 90s, so it makes sense.

I think it’s a result of the 40 year old crowd. They’re a demographic with money and starting to get nostalgic for their childhood, so the market caters to that . Kids get exposed to it, a few trend setters decide it’s cool/vintage, and it takes off from there.

DestroyerOfWorlds,

you remind me of my acid dropping goth friend from the 80’s. the “crazy” stare really sells it. wanna take drugs in the park and laugh at people in pleated jeans?

@user224@lemmy.sdf.org avatar

Half the time I have no idea what I am staring at. It’s like having closed eyes, but they’re open. It’s my autopilot staring, not me.

On a side note, that lip piercing (just like any other piercing in mouth) may cause tooth damage and/or gum recession over time. It’s a bad idea.

Zoop,

that lip piercing (just like any other piercing in mouth) may cause tooth damage and/or gum recession over time. It’s a bad idea.

Nope, nope, nope. Incorrect. Vertical labrets, which this person in the picture has, do not go into your mouth at all. It goes vertically straight up through your lip. No part of it is ever inside your mouth.

I feel you on the autopilot eyes, though!

5in1k,

The piercing that’s sitting 2mm from her front teeth in the photo will never collide with them? Yeah ok chief, I do have eyes here. I’m sure she never chews on that conveniently place fidgeter.

JackLSauce,

“Tonight on ABC, Middle Aged Man…starring…”

As a middle-aged man with a long history of crazy chicks in my past… Yeah this is working for me

Same, buddy. It doesn’t help that I’ve been drinking.

zephr_c,

Jokes on you then. I’m probably staring because I’m trying to figure out what’s going on with that eye makeup, and I have no idea what that face is supposed to mean.

Track_Shovel,

It’s the same face I am making trying to figure out the eye makeup

imPastaSyndrome,

Maybe don’t look so cool like the girl I want to be if you don’t want to be stared at.

Cool hair…sorry

Wowwww victim blaming much?
