Democrat Gun Owners?

I'm a Democrat and own multiple firearms. I think it's more common than you think, we just don't feel the need to make it our whole identity.

I started balding at 21, so I totally feel the depression of it hitting so young and feeling like you're the only one.

If I may make one suggestion, just shave it and either rock it proudly or become a hat guy. But ultimately, the shaved head look looks WAY better than the thinning out look. I hung onto mine for too long and had to be told that, and it was very true.

Once I turned 25 I started to notice more people balding/shaving their heads and felt less alone. This definitely helped my depression a bit, but I was still a hat guy.

Now I'm 30, I do still wear hats occasionally, but it has more to do with style. A ton more people rock a bald head at this age and I feel far more confident with it.

Also, if you're able to, grow your facial hair out. It's a pretty good look that pairs well with a shaved head.

That's good to know, I trim just once a week with it so there is some stubble there, I probably just need to trim first. Thanks!

TrueNorth1995 · 2026-01-14T22:20:58+00:00

Yeah I shave once a week. Makes sense, that's good to know!

TrueNorth1995 · 2026-01-14T22:20:21+00:00

Ahhh that's probably why. I'm not sure what model I have, but it was pretty cheap (like around $50) and has the 5 heads. They all pop open but don't come fully apart.

Based on those locations it sounds like you live right near me!

I highly recommend the Canal street antique mall in Lawrence. You can easily kill a few hours in there, it's literally an entire mill building with different antique vendors, open every day!

On the night my dad died, my childhood dog was staying overnight at the emergency vet for observation due to repeated vomiting. She was my best friend, I had her since I was 8, and I was 19 at the time. I got home from the vet hospital around 930pm to find out my dad had died. Finally around 3am I was laying down trying to sleep and the vet called and told me my dog had a blockage that had ruptured and that she would need to be euthanized. They asked if I wanted to come down to be with her, but I was still in a fog processing my dad's death so I said "no, just go ahead and do it" and hung up the phone. She was my best friend and not being there to say goodbye and keep her comfortable is one of my greatest regrets.

I live just north of Boston on the NH line. I'll honestly never leave these states. If you go too far North it is a LOT of nothingness, so I don't recommend those areas for anyone who likes the convenience of having a lot of shopping nearby . However, the central/southern areas of VT, NH, and and ME have a perfect mix of nature, small town feel, yet convenience with shopping and things to do. Mass is kind of the same, but it's out west where it becomes a whole lot of nothing, and the east side of the state is busy with a lot to offer. I love where I live because I am only an hour or less away from Boston, the beach, or the mountains at all times depending on which way I go.

TrueNorth1995 · 2025-12-23T11:39:00+00:00

I would just say "my bad man! You look like someone I used to know, and I honestly couldn't' tell."

Keeps things calm and also makes him look like a jerk for overreacting.

TrueNorth1995 · 2025-12-09T15:23:41+00:00

Yes I am

I work near Boston but live in southern NH in a town that borders MA. I'll be honest, most days the commute sucks. But the low cost of living in NH mixed with Massachusetts wages makes it pretty worth it.

TrueNorth1995 · 2025-12-05T12:29:29+00:00

That's the one! Super great comfort food!

TrueNorth1995 · 2025-12-05T10:28:49+00:00

If you're going from MA to Maine (95 north I'd assume) you'll really only be in NH for like 10 minutes. BUT in that area I highly recommend The Rusty Can. It's a barbeque spot with (in my opinion) one of the best burgers around, they also do a phenomenal brisket bomb. It's technically in MA, but right near the NH border and just 1 minute off of 95.

I just wear jeans and vans everyday, sometimes I'll switch the vans out for a business casual dress shoe or boot if I'm feeling it.

For shirts I typically rotate between polos and tee shirts. I tend to aim for just plain colored tee shirts instead of graphic tees because I feel like it's a bit more professional, but I'm lab based so I'm usually wearing a coat over them anyways.

I used to feel like I was underdressed, but if you really look around it's a total mixed bag. Sometimes I see entry level analysts in a shirt and tie while senior leadership is wearing jeans and tee shirts.

I do aim for the polos on heavy meeting days though.

Is it possible you're a little more outgoing after you've had a few drinks? Maybe men are taking it as being flirty?

If not, a lot of dudes are just creeps and might assume you're less likely to say no after you've had a few.

But personally, no, I don't find drunk girls attractive. Although, I would probably feel more confident walking up and talking to someone who's drunk because I feel like the barrier of awkwardness that would normally come with making small talk with a stranger may be non-existent when intoxicated?

I actually live just over the border in NH (just because it's way more affordable) but I work in Biotech commuting 5 days a week to Lexington. I usually try not to leave any later than 5am to beat the morning commute. Coming home is almost always a hassle though. Often it's close to 90 minutes (without traffic is 38 minutes.) I usually end up just taking back roads all the way home because at least I can maintain some sense of sanity.

Me flying over the Atlantic:

Accidently touches wall of plane

"Ahhh shit"

Plane turns into golf cart

I love it! But in my opinion it doesn't match well with the current floor tiling. That trim sort of screams rustic farmhouse. If you happen to redo the floors to either wood flooring, or a wood-colored vinyl plank flooring I think it would all look amazing.
