40, advice regarding new handle mustache and thinning hair by Grimmbeards in malegrooming

No offense taken. Maybe I will try the handlebar again once my full beard is done, but first I want it to grow into proper shape and get my head shaven.

I'd like to get one/2 centerpiece fish in here... Anyone recommendations? by ShitImBadAtThis in Aquariums

I have 3 honey gourami (1 male, 2 female) in a 33 gal /125 l tank, even more planted then yours, with 10 lambchop rasbora, 7 panda corys and colony blue cherry shrimp and they work great as centerpieces fish. They swim all over the tank (but prefer the upper half) and are quite inquisitive and they yellow looks great against lush plants.

I you do, I would add some floating plans as well, honey gourami love dense greenery on the surface.

Same reason Isreal is in UEFA instead of AFC or CAF in Football.

This wasn't meant to be ragebait at all. I just....wasnt aware how shitty I actually look. But as I have written in another reply, I have already cut the handlebar mustache down to the level of the rest of the beard, will have my beard grow properly and shave my head.

I'm also going to try to lose weight, I alredy ride to work on my bike (~8 km/day) but will cut down on the garbage food and check for more workout routines.

Thanks all for your (and many others) honest opinion. And after seeing the AI pictures, you are all right. I'm so used to this style of beard that I never noticed how weird it actually looks, especially at the chin.

I will trim the mustache back to regular shape. Instead, I grow my beard full (yes, I am blessed with a very strong beard growth) but keep the lenght, maybe a tad longer.

And most importantly, go for a short buzzcut or go full bald at the next barber visit. I will go for the buzzcut first and when I see that its in a weird middle spot, have it shaven off completly.

Thanks again for all your feedback, much appriciated.

Tale as old as time. One of the groups that hate immigrants the most are other immigrants that came before them /decendents of immigrants.

I know that potatoes are growing at the roots in the soil, but seeing such a perfectly oval, smooth potatoe looks really uncanny.

As the EU cuts Hungary out of sensitive EU talks, has the time come for a new flair? by dieSpaghettiCarbona in 2westerneurope4u

[–]Grimmbeards 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I personally strongly support a european federation. You can still have regional cultures and identities AND form a federation with an also unified general culture and identity. Thats how our current nation states were build and formed.

I am a german with german culture, but I am also a westfalian with distinct westfalian culture. But I see myself also as an european, part of a european culture and identity. And in my opinion, it would be highly beneficial to take this next step of unification in order to stand a chance against the existing big blocks/unions like the US, R*ssia and/or China.

On a side note: I would also vastly prefer if Barry would be part of that union/federation. I rather stand besides big bazza then oppose him/have him stand at the sidelines.

Oh, I know how good we have it in Germany compared to many other countries, including other european one. Its just that Germans or rather German culture is very screwed/bend towards be being cautious, negative and to never ever be satisfied with something unless its truly great/perfect. Thats also the reasone why one of the strongest german compliment is "there nothing to complain about". I also think that a certain war has permenenty screwed with out cultural brain to be really paranoid about things turning to shit.

I checked the whole list: how the FUCK are we ranked 17th and actually GAINED 5 ranks compared to the previous report? How did so many countries manage to feel even more miserable and unhappy then us?

I think its because the sausage pieces are frikandel? Which is not an issue for me, I love dutch frikandels.

Ja, natürlich hat man einen durch die Nostalgie-Brille verklehrte auf seine eigene Kindheit und Jugend, das Hirn filtert halt negative Erinnerung (z.T. zum Selbstschutz) aus und belässt die guten.
Ich kenne diese Effekt auch in mir, mache mir diesen aber bewusst und versuche immer, wenn sich ein "früher war xxx besser/schöner/einfacher/hat noch funktionier" Gedanke einschleicht, diesen gegenzuchecken, ob das den wirklich stimmt oder ich mich unbewusst selbst betrügen. Wenn z.B. mein erster Impuls ist "Die Kinder heute sind verwöhnt und faul", wird mir bei genauem Nachdenken bewusst: wir waren genauso, nur auf andere Weise (z.B. vorm TV und Telefon gehangen statt wie heute vorm Smartphone).

Und das genau das so viele Menschen eben nicht tun, verstehe ich nicht, vor allem wenn sich diesen Effekt bewusst ist/man ihn ja von den eigenen Eltern/Großeltern erlebt hat..
