    I don’t mean for anyone here to catch a stray

    But who the fuck genuinely looks at Oakleys and thinks, yeah that’s a cool look that doesn’t make me look completely out of touch with basically every part of the modern day

      I have wrap-around sunglasses because my commute is north-south and I don’t like the sun coming into my eyes from the side.

      I’m also losing hair due to genetics.

      Apparently this makes me look like a bigot.

      I mean, they’re sunglasses. Probably way overpriced for what they are. But they’re something to keep the sun out of your eyes when you’re out fishing or working outside or whatever. What would be the alternative to that kind of “sport” style, or aviators?

        Tbf aviators are a classic style that doesn’t fall into the same category IMO, if you dress appropriately for the look (and have the right shaped head for them ofc, there’s not really a one-style-fits-all for sunnies), aviators can look pretty good

        The other main versatile style you see a lot is the wayfarer kind popularised by Ray-Ban

      I prefer to appreciate all the little ways these people telegraph that they’re just absolute shit so you don’t even have to interact with them in the slightest

      I’m a middle-aged white guy and hate that I can’t wear the wraparound douche bag shades. They’re the most comfortable and practical for outdoor activities.

      I was thinking about getting the Oakleys that are UV and impact protection for my workbench (and if I’m somewhere where I need to worry about something landing in my eye), but I’d probably never wear them for fashion.

      Oakleys were cool when they were in high school. They stopped updating their worldview when they graduated (or, more likely, dropped out).

      Note: I am old and I also wear sunglasses that are probably cringe. I don’t wear them in my profile photos, though.

    You’re boycotting the Super Bowl Half-Time Show cause of Bad Bunny. I am boycotting the Super Bowl Half-Time Show cause the NFL is shitty organization. We’re not the same.

    Oh. The totally casual, “I’m just casually driving” picture. Why do they almost always wear prison-pussy facial hair?

    It’s not like any one is forcing them to watch it. Also, I won’t be watching the game at all. Bread and circus.

    I swear these types wear sunglasses because they’re extremely intimidated by eye contact

    I especially like how there are only two women, and one of they both look like absolute Karen’s.

    I’ve seen this many many many times and I’m still only 95% sure that third column first row was a previous boss I had. They really do all look pretty much the same

    Edit, addition: I did find his FB and LinkedIn back then and, even so, I’m still not 100% sure

    I just had a thought. I hope that the Puppy Bowl has a halftime show with bunnies this year (I usually watch the Puppy Bowl & Kitten Bowl that day if I watch any non-antenna TV). Bunnies are adorable, and while I wouldn’t want one as a pet (too many things can go wrong, too quickly), I would love to see them playing and having treats while being good bunnies.

    I’m very sensitive to bright sunlight so I always wear sunglasses like these. About 5 years ago my beard was on the long side. I looked like MAGA-man driving around in my old pickup.

    I think they’re apeing tacticool police gear. If you have a strong stomach, from Eclipse23:

    How Cop Sunglasses Differ from Regular Sunglasses

    Enhanced Durability and Protection

    Cop sunglasses are not your average shades. These specialized eyewear pieces are engineered to withstand the rigorous demands of law enforcement work. Unlike regular sunglasses, cop sunglasses feature rugged construction, often utilizing materials like polycarbonate or metal for increased durability. This robust design ensures they can endure the physical challenges officers face daily.

    Tactical Advantages

    Cop sunglasses offer more than just protection from the sun. They serve as a tactical tool, providing officers with several advantages in the field. The wraparound design common in cop sunglasses offers enhanced peripheral vision, crucial for maintaining situational awareness. Additionally, these glasses often feature specialized lenses that improve contrast and visibility, allowing officers to identify potential threats more easily.
