Holy shit this is like a precision guided munition
I don't mean for anyone here to catch a stray
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
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.

I mean I have Oakley sunnies but they're just sunglasses I don't feel like they're part of my cultural identity.
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
Well Mark Zuckerberg apparently does.
Which of course only supports your point.
I'm sure he's only wearing them because he thinks other people think they're cool
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
And whether you buy Oakleys or Ray-Bans, they’re owned by the same company. Hurray capitalism!

these people looked like they never stepped outside.
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.
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.
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.

They're literally boycotting when they finally got an artist from the US
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 won't be watching it either. Because sports are dumb and I don't know who bad bunny is.
I'm sure Mr. Bunny is a fine performer, I just don't care for football.
Ditto. I never understood them. My least favorite subject was gym. The only class I ever failed.
They like wearing shades all the time so they can creepy stare at women who would never speak to them without getting called out.
Character select screen for the worst fighting game of all time
Target selection for a sniper game, then?
Have you ever seen a group of more insecure looking people? They're all one incorrect Wendy's order away from a full-on performative nervous breakdown
Oh. The totally casual, "I'm just casually driving" picture. Why do they almost always wear prison-pussy facial hair?
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
Looks like a Who's Who of the Herman Cain Awards.
inbred, they could be related through sister/cousin/mother.
It's not like any one is forcing them to watch it. Also, I won't be watching the game at all. Bread and circuses.
I haven't seen any purpose in watching a Super Bowl since I saw Janet Jackson's boob. It won't get any better
These are the people next door who have parties every weekend that end with a drunk couple having a loud argument in the backyard about their shit relationship and the hostess gets bitchy because they woke the kids up.
I swear these types wear sunglasses because they're extremely intimidated by eye contact
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.
No, they are usually just drug addicts hence the need to cover their eyes.
there rage addicts to

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.
I especially like how there are only two women, and one of they both look like absolute Karen's.
they could care less
that's what all of them are saying on my facebook anyways
I think they're apeing tacticool police gear. If you have a strong stomach, from Eclipse23:
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.

Like kneeling on people’s necks?
Don't forget cruising for a parking at the doughnut shop.
Or making anyone but the whitest white people look even darker
Or harassing black teenagers for being on a sidewalk in a predominantly white neighborhood.
This is how I go undercover.
That's the guy who made Neverita, right?
I love that song!
I play it all the time when I'm cooking with the boys.
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.
