I would love for people to use proper punctuation.
Also that women can wear sweats and casual clothes and not have to be all dressy.
I do not own a dress or skirt and one pair of tennies.
Haha, I take it you have not been to the Southern End of Sandy Bay.
There should be some kind of law that requires a license to go nude.
I mean, people can do the fuck they want, but gentlemen whose stomach is so large his nudiity is completely hidden by his fatty abdomen…
That guy needs medical attention and some basic training in how to pick up partners.
There is also some random dude who does that weird thing with saline injections to his testicles that make them orange sized. I’m all for freedom of expression, including the right to harm yourself to satisfy your fetish.
Otherwise I agree. And this post is somewhat tongue in cheek. I am often nude at home (unless my kids are there) and nude swimming is wonderful, in the sea or the river pools.
Its actually hard to keep my son (age 6) not to be naked. I hope he doesnt do that at school.
I’ve been. Also other places where some public nudity is not unexpected.
Naah. Especially not when it’s tied to body-shaming or any kind of aesthetic judgement.
Nude is our natural condition, it shouldn’t be illegal. I’m not advocating for it as the norm, you understand - I’m not a naturist myself, and also far too much of a clothes lover - just as normal - like, nude sunbathing in the park, or yes, nude swimming.
I always speculated on what the moral/societal difference is between walking around nude and walking around fully clothed, but with your private parts exposed. Which is worse?
This one. It focuses on the particular bits, and since you’re otherwise clothed, it’s almost certainly intentional. As discussed above, with being fully naked, there are other things that might distract a person from the bits, but not here.
I’d like to normalize swearing in front of children. Virtually everybody cusses when they reach adulthood, what’s the big ass deal if little Johnny learns to say damn when he’s six?
Public spaces, especially airports, without TVs blaring constantly.
My husband and I have been doing this for over 10 years. It started when our son was sick. I decided to sleep in the bedroom next to his in case he needed me. I never looked back. My husband snores and keeps me awake, I like to sleep with my window open or at least cracked in the winter - my husband gets too cold, I like to watch or read something on my tablet before I go to sleep - my husband likes to go to sleep right away, I like my bedroom door closed and the room dark - my husband likes it open and likes a night light, I like a fan running for air and for noise. We both sleep so much better with this arrangement. As for sex, one of us will say something like, do you want to meet up in bed tonight?
This is probably normal since COVID anyway. But working from home (for those that can).
The old idea that a (micro)manager must hover over you is dying, and hopefully gone. We all now mostly work from home in my crew. Some do want to go into work. And I understand that. Not everyone has a suitable place to work, or can separate work/home.
My Wife recently missed two days of work because of snow. It was literally impossible to leave our house. She is one that likes to go into work, but recognizes the ability to work from home is great (she did it at the beginning of COVID).
I/we will provide the computer hardware. Or work can. I don’t care. The benefits for everyone are great.
Yes, yes, YES!
Oh I feel this one in my soul. 100% agree!
Yeah. And more often than not, it’s turned to FOX ‘news’. If you must, just put on the weather channel, and mute it.
We vacation on beaches and they are usually swimsuit optional, no big deal. I have vitiligo, so I’m the one wearing stuff as well as SPF75 sunscreen.
Once on the beach at Pinel Island there were two couples from the US (they were obnoxiously loud, which gives them away) nearby. The one guy was trying to get the women to “relax and take off your tops, like that French woman” (gesturing toward my gf).
My gf said, " I’m from Pittsburgh, that’s about as far from France as it gets".
Yes! Same for TVs and loud music in restaurants & breweries. As I get older and my hearing gets progressively worse, it is harder and harder for me to be engaged in conversations with all that background noise.
I have coworkers and friends that complain that their kids now expect this and they want them to GTFO. Maybe the kids want it normalized but not the parents?
My friend Sharon is a riot. Years ago when her daughter went out to celebrate her 18th birthday, Sharon locked all the doors when she went to bed. They never lock their doors, nor does anyone have keys.
So, at 3 am they are awoken by pounding on the door. Sharon’s husband is confused, she tells him to go back to sleep. Sharon then goes downstairs to the door, where her daughter is waiting to come in. Sharon tells her, “YOU’RE 18 YEARS OLD. GO AWAY.”.
Sharon goes back to bed and the pounding on the door starts up again. Rinse/repeat. Finally Sharon’s husband goes downstairs and unlocks the door. Daughter is in her 30s with kids now and still tells the story.
I assume she has moved out by now? Because if not, yeah, that’s quite the story
She was gone by 20, yes.
I encountered a guy out on a trail the other day (parkland in the middle of the city, if it matters). From the waist up, he looked like a fairly normal hiker. Below that, he was wearing black briefs with a very prominent pouch. I don’t know whether it was his cod in the piece or whether it was stuffed, but there was a disturbing amount of motion either way. I’m pretty sure that it would have been less off putting if he’d been naked.
I’m somewhat OK with TVs at a sports bar, or similar establishment. But yes, the volume should not be at such a level that one needs to shout to be heard by their table mate.
But it just baffles me how so many businesses seem terrified of presenting an environment that lacks “action”. If they can’t abide quiet, how about music at a reasonable volume? It’s like they’re petrified we might think the place is dull if there’s a moment of dead air.
Quick story:
I was once in a hotel lounge with a friend I hadn’t seen in a long time, and we were the only people there. A TV nearby was set on CNN or Fox or something and it wasn’t a big room, so it was kind of intrusive. I asked the attendant if he could please turn it down and he said no. I said, “Excuse me? You can’t turn the TV down even a little so we can talk?”
“No, I’m not allowed. We’re supposed to leave it on.”
They would rather piss off their customers than ever turn down the volume on their TV. In a room with nobody else present.
So I bought one of these and I don’t hesitate to use it:
Oooooo! ME WANT!
