      Working in a store and being known locally as the “tech guy”, you would be surprised how many young people (mostly girls) have handed me their phone and the lock screen and background pics are selfies.

      If it’s a man with a pic of himself it’s usually with something he identifies with. A tractor, a guitar, a game collection, a truck or car, guns. Shit like that.

      Donald Trump identifies with Donald Trump and MAGA hats. It has nothing to do with making America great either. Maga is just a word now, and that word means Donald Trump.

        I was wondering about this phenomenon yesterday. A female coworker handed me her phone and it was a mirror selfie which I didn’t think anything of at first, but it slowly dawned on me how odd I would find that had it been a man doing it. Can’t really think of a good reason why that is but I guess it’s just a weird cultural thing.

          Yeah, culture is definitely a part of it. Women spend a lot of time on makeup, and I believe that is a part of it. All of that effort and they’re probably proud of their best work. I mean, I probably would be.

          Whether we like it or not, men and women are different. The line between us is also very obviously subject to change and maybe one day the line won’t exist. It does at the moment though and that’s alright.

          My kids tell me all the time that my views on gender are outdated. Their kids will probably tell them the same thing in one direction or another. There’s no telling. Culture is constantly evolving for better and worse. Some wild shit happened in the ancient world. Some wild shit will happen in the world of the future.

          Being alive is interesting. I’m a moron though haha. Take care.

          That we’re in the situation of locking up the former President because he’s so relentlessly criminal there’s literally nothing even white men in power can do to stop it. How stupid are we.

    Did anybody expect anything less?

    I’m still surprised he didn’t pick himself as his own vice president candidate.

    That’s just so his handlers can tell him it’s his reflection. “How do I look today?” “Great, sir, just look at that reflection!”

    Definitely not a narcissist. Totally normal. We all do that, right? /s
