          Telling your child almost immediately after birth that you’re embarrassed to be seen carrying/being around them. Not a great look for a new dad.

          Oh, it’s simply something for men who are super worried about other men thinking they’re manly enough. They think having a child makes them weak, and so they have to macho it up to super prove to other men that just because they’re… tough? Super manly tough. Like really macho awesome bicep manly.

            I mean what makes a baby carrier “tactical”? Being black, tan, or camouflage fabric? A lot of loops?

        Okay, was there a baby in it (or at least nearby)? Style, even if bad taste is one thing, but if they were using that as gear, that’s a whole different story

    The finals of major sports. Zero fucks given for the entire season, but that last game/series has everyone invested in the outcome.

    The car fandom. The amount of people who can’t explain how a motor works but try to mansplain me how one motor is “better than the other” simply because it has more displacement is… Staggering.

    Someone recently told me that electrical motors are bad for the environment because you need to replace the brushes every few thousand kilometers.

    And to top it all off, apparently older cars are better for the environment because bigger motors run more efficiently when they’re not at 100% power. I nearly get an aneurysm talking to those people.

      Oh my dog, yes.

      Extra torture is talking to people like this while daring to be female!

      I’ve literally had men tell me that my car, that I am driving, is a) just a completely different car with a body kit, b) a kit car, c) illegal to use on the road, d) a gas guzzler because it’s a V8, e) cool because it was in Back to the Future

      The car in question? An old and bone stock Dodge Daytona, which is none of those things.
