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 know it's because of genetics for me, but man sometimes do I wonder if my diet/life choices have done nothing but get me there faster.
  
  I’m a middle-aged, southern, white dad who apparently also looks like I might enjoy some casual “locker-room talk,” and it makes some folks feel uncomfortably comfortable telling me their racist, sexist or otherwise terribly shortsighted views on the world.
  The only reason I’m not planning to wear a costume to tomorrow’s protest is because I want to make sure others see someone who looks just like them standing up against this nonsense.
- 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
  
  these people looked like they never stepped outside.

  Well Mark Zuckerberg apparently does.
  Which of course only supports your point.
  
  I'm sure he's only wearing them because he thinks other people think they're cool
- I mean I have Oakley sunnies but they're just sunglasses I don't feel like they're part of my cultural identity.
- 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.
- They make more conventional looking stuff too. I have some non-sunglasses from them.
- 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.
  
  You can in fact still wear the comfy douchebag shades. And just, not be a douchebag.
- I bought my current pair of sunglasses from the WalMart fishing equipment aisle, because they were cheap, give good coverage and have UV protection. I hope nothing else about me affords even the distant possibility that I will be confused for a MAGAt. I don’t YouTube from my car, for one.
- Better coverage of cowardice

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?
- Is that a new burn for goatees? Never heard it before but LMAO
  
  yeppers.

They're literally boycotting when they finally got an artist from the US

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

I won't be watching it either. Because sports are dumb and I don't know who bad bunny is.
- I'm sure Mr. Bunny is a fine performer, I just don't care for football.
- Ditto. I never understood them. My least favorite subject was gym. The only class I ever failed.

- Holy shit this is like a precision guided munition

Character select screen for the worst fighting game of all time
- Target selection for a sniper game, then?

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

They like wearing shades all the time so they can creepy stare at women who would never speak to them without getting called out.

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

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.

That's the guy who made Neverita, right?
I love that song!
I play it all the time when I'm cooking with the boys.

This is how I go undercover.

Looks like a Who's Who of the Herman Cain Awards.

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.
- the rigorous demands of law enforcement work
  Like kneeling on people’s necks?
  
  Or making anyone but the whitest white people look even darker
  
  Don't forget cruising for a parking at the doughnut shop.
  
  Or harassing black teenagers for being on a sidewalk in a predominantly white neighborhood.

These are the people next door who have parties every weekend that end with a drunk couple having a loud argument in the backyard about their shit relationship and the hostess gets removed because they woke the kids up.

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.

They’re all like video game avatars desperately trying to project who they want to be, hiding behind sunglasses as some kind of macho shield. If they could build images of themselves they’d all be modern tacticool versions of Col. Kilgore.
- No, they are usually just drug addicts hence the need to cover their eyes.
  
  there rage addicts to

Have you ever seen a group of more insecure looking people? They're all one incorrect Wendy's order away from a full-on performative nervous breakdown

I haven't seen any purpose in watching a Super Bowl since I saw Janet Jackson's boob. It won't get any better

inbred, they could be related through sister/cousin/mother.

they could care less
that's what all of them are saying on my facebook anyways
