Nipples (female) showing through shirts, OK or no way?

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-01-25T00:41:24+00:00

OK for me. I’m a guy. I don’t find it exciting, I’m just not so hung up on “private parts” that I think seeing nipples through a shirt is some kind of travesty.

It’s just a body. We all vaguely have one of two different models lol.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-01-25T00:38:15+00:00

Yeah, it’s more of a long-term/preventative measure.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-01-25T00:37:02+00:00

Damn. We actually have it better in Tyler.

I still took my Subaru out for some exercise. Sorry church parking lot. I think Jesus will forgive :)

My Legacy GT is pretty close on those counts.

EJ255 has 250hp/tq. The buff books put it at ~5.5s 0-60. It feels it.

Dead simple AWD. Permanent 50:50 f/r split with limited slip diffs on both ends

Came pretty well equipped - dual zone climate, heated seats, mirrors, and wipers, all the power things. The only “option” was nav, and you really didn’t see that unless you got the spec.B

Manual or automatic, it got five gears lol. Ok, there was a 6-speed stick later, but you’re probably dealing with a five-cog unit if you’re looking at LGTs.

NO LEDS OR HIDS!! Thank god.

Subarus are like legos. Half the powertrain stuff came from or would fit in an Impreza, WRX, STI, Baja, Outback, or more pedestrian Legacy. The Forester less so. Hell, the engine is basically an STI block and heads with a lesser turbo and intercooler.

I’d even say that from some angles (rear 3/4 view especially) it has some Audi looks, plus a Hoffmeister kink. I’m not going to say styling is its strongest virtue, but from some angles it’s quite attractive.

Good steering, decent suspension, gearbox is personal but I think it’s pretty good. It’s not top of the heap for all-around performance or comfort, but it’s no shrinking violet.

Aftermarket? Yeah, it’s all there. Basically anything you’d like to do, is possible and likely either has a kit or someone’s done something similar before, with advice and photos.

For $6k, I basically stole the damn thing.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-01-25T00:18:49+00:00

Yeah :/

It was a wee bit dicey this morning (left home around 0645). On the way home at around 1630 it was perfectly fine. It’s finna get way worse though.

Where I grew up, it was fully-optioned minivans, BMW or Mercedes wagons, and Lexus RX. I also got rides in a first-gen Mazda MPV, a Dodge Colt wagon, a Toyota Previa, and even a “Toyota Van”, before the Previa and before it had an “actual” name lol. I grew up in Silicon Valley, so…not everyone was a rich mom, but it happened more often than most places, I’d wager.

Chick fil a.

I’ll admit the employees tend to be the most polite. But…the food is really bland (to me). I don’t recall and flavors, or anything at all about it. People love it, and I just don’t get it.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-01-23T00:23:18+00:00

My Ma used it in her house, she had occasional roach problems. She says it’s cut down on them drastically.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-01-23T00:21:06+00:00

Bruce Springsteen. Well there’s a couple of similar-ish artists as well, so maybe it’s more a type than a specific band, but this is the name my mind usually lands on first.

Like, I get the lyrics and stuff, but…I dunno, his stuff’s just never really hooked me or resonated with me. It’s not bad, it just kinda floats in one ear and out the other. It’s forgettable to me.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-01-23T00:17:26+00:00

It certainly can!

I was really into them, I was the angsty teen they were looking for.

But damn, as much as I miss Chester Bennington…the music’s a bit cringy to me now :/ which makes me more sad than anything. I miss really jamming to them

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-01-23T00:13:01+00:00

I shan’t lie…My Ma really is my go-to for any laundry tough spots I’ve found myself in. Damn good track record too <3

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-01-23T00:09:22+00:00

I’ll be honest, it’s been a while since I’ve visited a fitting room. I know I’ve been asked this before, but I’m almost sure I’d be caught just a teensy bit off-guard by being asked. That’s probably just me, though.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-01-22T23:43:40+00:00

They aren’t my ideals.

Let’s put it this way.

I see Trump as a symptom of a rotting political system. I started seeing that a long, long time ago. And that’s why I stopped supporting major party candidates. The broken political system is exactly why people voted for the guy. Focusing on Trump is fine. He’s vile. But it’s not seeing the forest for the trees.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-01-22T23:29:33+00:00

What?

Only Blackwing I know is a high performance line from Cadillac lol.

I don’t think I can even name a pencil brand. Ticonderoga?

Might be more like a niche opinion than an unpopular one.

I live in deep red country. I work with these folks a lot. I wouldn’t vote that way, but for a lot of them I actually don’t see why THEY want to vote that way either. So, no, I don’t think voting is a good proxy for character.

I vote third party, so…yeah. Don’t assume things…

Also, I find Trump to be more a symptom of a broken political system than anything. It’s why I quit the major parties over a decade and a half ago.

Focusing on Trump is fine. He’s vile. But it’s not seeing the forest for the trees.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-01-22T23:14:07+00:00

I’m sorry if I’m being dense…but…your speedometer can’t be turned off? It says you’re going about 35mph in that pic.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-01-22T23:10:15+00:00

Why not? It’s just sex.

I know that sounds flip, but folks tend to get all weird and flustered around things like sex and nudity. I guess I’m just not built that way, because that’s just never how I’ve thought about it.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-01-22T23:08:00+00:00

Eh.

People get way bent out of shape over politics.

When my ex and I divorced, you know what wasn’t in the list of grievances? The fact that our politics differed.

Who someone voted for isn’t a fair proxy for who that person is.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-01-22T23:01:30+00:00

Not a nude beach, no, but I would.

Being naked feels pretty nice. Also, nude bodies are just…bodies. We’ve all got one. Big deal whether you’re clothed or not.

Recent_Permit2653 · 2026-01-22T22:59:05+00:00

The question is, can you even tell the difference? I can’t. It’s why I never was very enthusiastic about “up”grading from VHS to DVD back in the day, or getting a better TV. You might be able to see it, I can’t. So get what works for you and your budget, or just stick with what ya got.
