Ha, proof....I have always viewed popcorn as inherently damaging....now I have proof.I´m (37) still tattoo-free.
Wanna know why? Simple story. I never catched the point of it.

Yes, but you ARE in good company at least.@LizzieMaine
Now I’m on about people (almost everyone I know, it seems) who have step counters on their wrists and obsessively check them and report their step count.
Am i becoming a grumpy old man?
Chip Wilson the founder & ex CEO of LuluLemon clothing got into deep doodoo when he defended claims of inferior product when one of his miracle fabrics used in yoga pants began to pill on the inside of the thighs. His explanation was they were not meant to be worn by overweight women and the excess friction from the inner thighs rubbing against each other caused the pils. He is now EX CEO.Except for the people who wear yoga pants, who are not physically fit. It's not just the office. Yoga pants are now a fashion item. People wear yoga pants everywhere. And a lot of those people, are not athletic, in any way. I think that for some of those people, they enjoy the attention from showing off every curve, crack, and crevice. Especially the girls who wear yoga pants with heels.

My face has all kinds of scars. Mostly from run-ins with basal cell carcinoma. Add a salt and pepper beard to my scar face and put it on a 6’3” frame and some people find me intimidating. This is something that often goes over my head, because I still mentally see myself as the harmless geeky puppy dog that was me in my teens and twenties. But, yep, plenty of scars.Instead of tattoos, i have scars. Lots of them.
I’m guessing that’ll stop about the time the novelty of it wears off.@LizzieMaine

I’m kinda welcoming the push-back against the push-back for “fat shaming,” as I’ve heard it called.@belfastboy.
I can well understand why he is ex-ceo.
Rules I have learned by watching other people‘s car wrecks: Never ask a woman if she is pregnant, and never make a comment (no matter how innocent) about weight in mixed company. Not even in the most vague and general terms. Some people are triggered by the W word.
AND never ever ask..."Oh, have you lost weight" as it implies they were fat previously......no easy escape from that one.@belfastboy.

This reminded me of the scars I've carried on my face for several years--dog bite by my left eye, the asymmetry of a broken nose, tire iron impact on my right cheek, basal cell carcinoma removed from the left side of my nose, scar under my chin (currently hidden by my beard). Somehow, all but the tiny depression left by the MOHS surgery (to remove the basal cell carcinoma) have faded and now I can't even see them. I used to stand 6'2", but age and back surgery have shrunk me down to an even 6' (the last time anyone checked, anyway). Harmless? Pretty much, yeah. I don't like physical fights; even if you "win", your hands and such hurt for days after. And yet, I've had family, friends, and even a few strangers tell me that I have this "way" about me, a look and a "vibe" that says, "Don't **** with me," and I don't get it 'cause I'm not that guy. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯My face has all kinds of scars.

I'm pretty sure that would be my reaction if I ate liver regardless of what else I had eaten....Man, I didn´t throw up so heavy in the last 100 years!...

They are totally oblivious to how uncouth and rude this is.
In this part of the world I've seen men who were of an age that they should have known better wearing a hat or cap while seated at a table in a restaurant eating their meal, never mind the countless younger men and women doing the same thing. "Hat etiquette" has become an antiquated notion that few people care about in 2022; most people don't even know such a thing ever existed.Men who eat in a restaurant while wearing a hat, usually a baseball cap, and frequently worn backwards.
