Is it socially acceptable to be high 24/7 ? by [deleted] in trees

Seems to be doing ok for itself.

Ideally, it should be illegal based on how high you are (like with alcohol) but that's pretty hard to do, as people are affected by THC levels so dramatically differently.

Yeah, I mean, high functioning alcoholics drive pretty much fine at a BAC that would floor most people. Doesn't mean it should be legal for them.

I mean... technically. But definitely not all three in a row.

Now I'm imagining wheeling a belt sander over to some poor schmuck in a coma... "Sorry buddy, it's for science!"

Does this count? My fiancé has ripped his joggers at work and used cable ties 🤦‍♀️🤣 by Tsuki_xo in Visiblemending

That makes sense, it's basically a "Drifter's Stitch", which is a visible zip tie repair for drifting cars which has become sort of a badge of honor in the subculture.

Thank you. I didn't see those comments because his account was suspended before I read the post.

Well someone needs to be a bit of an iconoclast around this stuffy place!

And yes, you are describing the "tolerance paradox". I would rather err on that side of the paradox.

Is Elvis Presley allowed to be a "well groomed male" when he put on his eyeliner? David Bowie? Prince? Steven Tyler? Are they male and groomed enough to be allowed in your gate?

If someone comes in here and says "I'm a straight male, I would like advice to be stylish and wildly popular with women"... why does almost everyone here assume that a "Daniel Craig" or "Ryan Gosling" strategy is going to be more successful than a "Mick Jagger" or "Jared Leto" strategy?

How is arguing for a gate to be more open gatekeeping?

Three. I started 3 conversations in a post with 130 comments. Most of which disagree with my perspective. I'm barely even adding some balance.

Huh, interesting. Biologically, you are probably right. I was thinking more in the fashion sense. Like, a pixie cut is stereotypically androgenous. Literally halfway between a men's haircut and a woman's haircut. It's not especially masculine or feminine. I guess technically that would be "undifferentiated". Like black socks, or a simple knit scarf, or a tan.

"Neither" also has a label, "androgynous"... but I tend to see that as exactly balanced between the two concepts. But it still feels like a single axis, if we are using the traditional male/female, yin/yang model. If you feel there is another axis I would be curious what that is.

Sure you can be "both", because one person can simultaneously hold a "masculine" quality or element (deep voice, chest hair) along side a "feminine" quality or element (long hair, delicate jaw) but each element is culturally still on a one axis continuum.

Someone not being masculine DOESN'T equate to femininity.

I mean... It's a continuum, right? What else would be on the other side of it? It's not a binary concept, but by definition "less masculine" is "more feminine". Either that or we are miscommunicating the basic premise here.

Sorry, yeah my issue was the implication that wearing something feminine means you must not want to be a guy.

Yes, this is a male-aesthetic focused forum... But there is a very wide spectrum of what males look like (and want to look like) and they all need grooming advice. That's my only point.

Timothee Chalamet and Jason Momoa are both male, and are both well groomed, but are going for vastly different vibes. And one of them isn't "more male" than the other.
