      I like piercings, but I don’t care for tattoos. We all have our preferences that matter to no one but ourselves.

    Saying “After 2 years with college professors” seems creepy to me, like he thinks college professors are supposed to take over the parents’ role.

      This person you see but have minimal interaction with a few times a week for 13 weeks really screams parental figure.

      And wild that he thinks that the professors are giving out fashion advice rather than calculus and shit.

      And it wasn’t professors who taught her to respect and value people who weren’t like her, it was just meeting them.

        My physics professor was the most physics professor looking physics professor the world has ever produced. He was definitely not giving out fashion tips.

        Unless of course you are a fan of ugly brown woollen affairs and tweed jackets with patches on the elbows.

          My physics professor was Italian and a very snappy dresser. Although, he also wore shorts and soccer jerseys some days.

          Very funny guy and could do trig out to several decimal places in his head. He was one of those rare professors that was doing research but still a great teacher. He was responsible for making math ‘click’ for me and helped me realize the joy of math.

            He’s got to have memorised that before class, or has memorised a bunch of common angles. The formula I remember using for them is a mess and doesn’t converge quickly.

          My Physics professors literally wore pocket protectors, with pens in them. They were also both ultra-marathoners which is surprisingly common among that species.

          My physics prof wore white socks with soccer ball-patterned slide on sandals. Normal business casual other than that, unless you count hair that hadn’t been bruised in a decade. Year round even in snow. And rode his bike to campus like that daily. Very fun dude.

      They think education is flawed. It’s part of the GOP indoctrination. What you’re saying is morbidly comical, but the real reason is how the Right regard education.

        It’s crazy. They literally treat a lack of knowledge like a badge of honor. They genuinely believe they deserve a gold star for proactively avoiding knowing shit. It’s real. It’s wild.

          Evangelist Christians genuinely believe that “earthly knowledge” is pointless once you are saved and are at the gates of heaven, so yes.

    I’m not attracted to tattoos or piercings but I would encourage everyone with a pulse to get tatted up if it makes conservatives recoil and run away. I can take it, if they can’t, that’s a goddamn skill issue.

      As a man who currently plans to marry a woman that chooses to dress very modestly and doesn’t like tattoos, that woman looks great and beauty comes in many forms. Don’t be a fool and enjoy all beauty. The tree’s, the human’s, the music’s. Life is better if you allow yourself to enjoy “things” for their kind of beauty and not complain about the lack of some other kind.

        Except like. If they have Nazis tats, that’s a hard nope, but otherwise… eh.

          I was playing disc golf by myself once and fell in with a group of guys with shaved heads who were playing the same course. They seemed nice and it took me a couple of holes to realize that they all had swastika tattoos on the sides of their heads. Fortunately I had rigged up my phone to make the incoming call sound when I double-tapped a side button and I was able to nope the fuck out of there.

          The confidence. I love people who are weird because one. they have confidence to be whatever they want to be. Two. Have interests that either align with mine, or have a passion that makes me interested in them as well.

          Passion and confidence, regardless of what it’s for is extremely attractive.

          Maybe there is a kind of beauty in the weirdness that you like.

          I wasn’t talking about beauty as only visual beauty, but also the beauty of a kind soul. The beauty of the little flaws that make us.

    Funnily enough I like tattoos but not piercings. Specifically septum piercings. As a result I’m lumped in with these ultra conservative weirdos and regularly get called a pedophile for not liking them.

    Nuance is dead in the modern age.

    It’s a very effective strategy, because speaking as a queer woman, I would see the person on the right and think “personal experience tells me this person might belong to the alphabet mafia, so perhaps I could buy her a drink”

    Got called a “soyboy” by some right wing women, told them “good, I don’t want to appeal to women who want to be regularly beaten by tgeir husbands”.
