Responses that completely destroy the original argument in a way that leaves little to no room for reply - a targeted, well-placed response to another person, organization, or group of people.

The following things are not grounds for murder:

Rules:

  1. Be civil and remember the human. No name calling or insults. Swearing in general is fine, but not to insult someone else.

  3. No bigotry of any kind.
  4. Censor the person info of anyone not in the public eye.
  5. If you break the rules you’ll get one warning before you’re banned.
  6. Enjoy the community in the light hearted way it’s intended.

Dudes look like a still image for a gay fashion themed Sims 4 pack

Gay men are disproportionately the victims of this fashion disaster, not the perpetrators stop the stigma

I said this because I spent my teenage years downloading, installing, and abusing such mods.

I was making a joke but it maybe didn't land right oops

The gays probably have better fashion sense

They're all wearing leggings of assorted fabrics and styles.

I've managed to buy clothes since I left the eighth grade.

Men, what's preventing you to dress like this?

The fact that my girlfriend would die from laughter if I did.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 weeks ago

Life insurance for her, buddy

It means 'loser' It comes from the word 'jobber' who is a type of pro wrestler who's role is to lose and make the other guy look strong going in to more meaningful matches. (Synonyms: jabroni, enhancement talent, job guy, carpenter, fall guy) Often these are young wrestlers cutting their teeth in the business. But there are some wrestlers who specialize in the role. Note: some wrestlers (jobbers) find the word 'jobber' to be insulating, insinuating they are in the role due to lack of talent. The term enhancement talent is considered more respectful.

One of today's lucky 10000! Search YouTube for jabroni always sunny for the source of the term being used outside wrestling

Not wanting to look like Douchebag McDouchebagface is what's stopping people from looking like that.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Give it about ten years and the popular style will pendulum back to fitted/tight clothing.

Just like it was before the current baggy trend and after the previous baggy trend, which was preceded by another tight trend, which was preceded by another baggy trend, and so on and so on

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 weeks ago

I wonder how much momentum there is in that pendulum?

I think it started swinging (at least in America) in the 30's. Between the scarcity of the depression and rationing during the war, fashions tended toward minimal. Then in the abundance of the 50's you got big puffy poodle skirts and zoot suits because we finally had a surplus.

Guy on the left looks good to me honestly. The other three take it too far for my tastes but Lefty's hot

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 weeks ago

Junk too big, I'm too fat, and it's a douchy style when taken to the extreme of the photo. Wearing well fit clothes is good, but this is something else.

I regularly have trouble finding pants where the crotch doesn't crush things or make it look like I'm smuggling sausage, the waist is wide enough, and the legs don't look like they're parachutes. Usually settle for two of the three.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago

What's this? The chess club? Robotics? They look like nerds. Twerps even. Real dorks.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 weeks ago

Because I'm 68 years old.

I am not dressing for you. I am dressing for my own comfort and to satisfy legal requirements.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 weeks ago

My curves are in different places

  • You will have my sword
  • And my axe
  • And my bow
  • I'm looking for Horcruxes

Holy shit that's funny

  • I prefer to wear socks
  • I used to be fat, so skin tight shirts don't look good on me
  • I like button up shirts
  • In cool weather when I wear long trousers, I prefer not to have my ankles frozen
  • In hot weather I'm keeping as much of my legs bare as available men's bottom wear allows

All in all I don't like that style. I knew a boy who liked that style as a youth, he was a arsehole

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 weeks ago

Because I don’t aspire to drive an Audi.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 2 weeks ago

What's preventing me? For one, actually having taste in clothing.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Personally for me I have massive legs even without working out( benefits of overweight with the right genetics) and I can't get the skinny jeans past my calves. 🤷‍♂️

It would also look ridiculous on me.

I would never wear long jeans that are not long enough and low socks to expose my ankles, that would feel terrible.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 weeks ago

It would also look ridiculous on me.

So what? It sure isn't stopping them!

The ability to move without squeaking.
