But who the fuck genuinely looks at Oakleys and thinks, yeah that's a cool look that doesn't make me look completely out of touch with basically every part of the modern day
For a woman having children I would be surprised if it doesn't accelerate it. The amount of impact a pregnancy has in hair/teeth and such is higher than we like to report.
For guys, stress and lack of sleep doesn't help much
I’m a middle-aged, southern, white dad who apparently also looks like I might enjoy some casual “locker-room talk,” and it makes some folks feel uncomfortably comfortable telling me their racist, sexist or otherwise terribly shortsighted views on the world.
The only reason I’m not planning to wear a costume to tomorrow’s protest is because I want to make sure others see someone who looks just like them standing up against this nonsense.
I mean, they're sunglasses. Probably way overpriced for what they are. But they're something to keep the sun out of your eyes when you're out fishing or working outside or whatever. What would be the alternative to that kind of "sport" style, or aviators?
Tbf aviators are a classic style that doesn't fall into the same category IMO, if you dress appropriately for the look (and have the right shaped head for them ofc, there's not really a one-style-fits-all for sunnies), aviators can look pretty good
The other main versatile style you see a lot is the wayfarer kind popularised by Ray-Ban
who the fuck genuinely looks at Oakleys and thinks, yeah that's a cool look that doesn't make me look completely out of touch with basically every part of the modern day
I was thinking about getting the Oakleys that are UV and impact protection for my workbench (and if I'm somewhere where I need to worry about something landing in my eye), but I'd probably never wear them for fashion.
I prefer to appreciate all the little ways these people telegraph that they're just absolute shit so you don't even have to interact with them in the slightest
I'm a middle-aged white guy and hate that I can't wear the wraparound douche bag shades. They're the most comfortable and practical for outdoor activities.
I bought my current pair of sunglasses from the WalMart fishing equipment aisle, because they were cheap, give good coverage and have UV protection. I hope nothing else about me affords even the distant possibility that I will be confused for a MAGAt. I don’t YouTube from my car, for one.
You're boycotting the Super Bowl Half-Time Show cause of Bad Bunny. I am boycotting the Super Bowl Half-Time Show cause the NFL is shitty organization. We're not the same.
I've seen this many many many times and I'm still only 95% sure that third column first row was a previous boss I had. They really do all look pretty much the same
Edit, addition: I did find his FB and LinkedIn back then and, even so, I'm still not 100% sure
I'm very sensitive to bright sunlight so I always wear sunglasses like these. About 5 years ago my beard was on the long side. I looked like MAGA-man driving around in my old pickup.

How Cop Sunglasses Differ from Regular Sunglasses
Enhanced Durability and Protection
Cop sunglasses are not your average shades. These specialized eyewear pieces are engineered to withstand the rigorous demands of law enforcement work. Unlike regular sunglasses, cop sunglasses feature rugged construction, often utilizing materials like polycarbonate or metal for increased durability. This robust design ensures they can endure the physical challenges officers face daily.
Tactical Advantages
Cop sunglasses offer more than just protection from the sun. They serve as a tactical tool, providing officers with several advantages in the field. The wraparound design common in cop sunglasses offers enhanced peripheral vision, crucial for maintaining situational awareness. Additionally, these glasses often feature specialized lenses that improve contrast and visibility, allowing officers to identify potential threats more easily.
I just had a thought. I hope that the Puppy Bowl has a halftime show with bunnies this year (I usually watch the Puppy Bowl & Kitten Bowl that day if I watch any non-antenna TV). Bunnies are adorable, and while I wouldn't want one as a pet (too many things can go wrong, too quickly), I would love to see them playing and having treats while being good bunnies.
They’re all like video game avatars desperately trying to project who they want to be, hiding behind sunglasses as some kind of macho shield. If they could build images of themselves they’d all be modern tacticool versions of Col. Kilgore.

I have wrap-around sunglasses because my commute is north-south and I don't like the sun coming into my eyes from the side.
I'm also losing hair due to genetics.
Apparently this makes me look like a bigot.

I know it's because of genetics for me, but man sometimes do I wonder if my diet/life choices have done nothing but get me there faster.

Oakleys were cool when they were in high school. They stopped updating their worldview when they graduated (or, more likely, dropped out).
Note: I am old and I also wear sunglasses that are probably cringe. I don't wear them in my profile photos, though.
