The dancing reminds me of one of my all-time favorite videos (which I can't find on line anymore), "Randy Normal Jeans." (I can find audio, but not video.)
Marmot meant something 10-15 years ago, particularly when it was a flleece or a vest worn by deca or centamillionaire Silicon Valley types. Now they're just good hats and jackets and other technical wear, devolved to the plebes. Judging by what I've seen, fancy people trying to look casual are back to Patagonia anyway.
Stereotypes are time saving devices. What's important is NOT the avoiding of stereotypes. What's important is the ability to scrap the stereotype based on evidence.
I like a lot of the female dancing videos on TikTok. The algorithm must, therefore, show me more of that, I see a lot of carpentry and dancing, not much clothing related vids.
As someone noted above, the (outward) genders of these people are different, and their approaches to TikTok are different, but their goals are the same: to entertain women.
Howard, I thought "cover" for "hat" was strictly a military thing?
Buwaya I own and wear such a hat. Very warm. Very Eurp although it is very rare to see one in use in Spain or France, at least in the cities. Spanishshoponline.com. Sells them.
The social standard of dress is normalized to establish a favorable juxtaposition of the male and female sexes. The male is on a progressive path to failure. Get a haircut! That said, at least he's not wearing shorts.
My Cover has three corners, three corners has my cover and had it not three corners, it would not be my cover ??? You're Way Smarter than Me* Howard!
You're Way Smarter than Me* This isn't humble bragging, Howard... It's Sarcasm BUT You didn't need Me to tell you that, after all; you're Way Smarter than I am
I loved "Randy Normal Jeans" too, and have looked for it. It's gone. I don't know why he would take it down. It's the best thing Pleaseeasaur ever did.
There is this bad recording of him overdubbing the video live: https://youtu.be/qyH3RKXeHo0
Birkel You kinda sound intemperate you know. Lets review. You asked me a did you stop beating your wife sort of question accusing me of lying about you and Truman. I am willing to believe you said something foolish about Truman that I criticized you for, but have no idea what. Whatever it was I didn’t lie about you. You just accused me of lying for asking a question, so people can judge for themselves.
"I loved "Randy Normal Jeans" too, and have looked for it. It's gone. I don't know why he would take it down. It's the best thing Pleaseeasaur ever did."
We saw him in person as the opening act to Neil Hamburger. I was completely unaware of him and actually a little annoyed that I'd have to sit through this manic, loud, half-recorded stuff while waiting for Hamburger to come on, but he TOTALLY won me over.
Things I think about Truman: 1. I am glad he made the difficult decision and ordered the atomic bomb drops. 2. His support for the New Deal was misplaced; price controls are bad public policy. 3. His administration was full of commies; McCarthy was correct.
Philippians, You've never lied about me. The only reason I care about Ken B's lies is because he is sometimes taken seriously. I wouldn't be animated to call ARM, Ritmo, Inga, or Chuck a liar. Nobody takes them seriously. I don't feed those trolls.
dascol at 10:16... I started with Patagonia wear over 20 years ago. Used their fleece layers for duck and deer hunting. Still have all of them too. Wife and I have their Mountain Parkas with 20 years on them. Look like new, IMHO a best of America product. Not a thread out of place, zippers fine!
Howard said... "Rusty links manhood to fashion accutrements because deep in his heart he knows that he does not carry a man card." LOLZ.You must have waited at least a year for an opportunity to say that, beta Howard.
Birkel (and Ken B), no problem, and I appreciate your acknowledgement of my comment.
We cannot control what other people think or say about us. There is nothing to be gained by disputing with them, in the long run.
Let us be content to be be judged by our own behavior, which is a severe enough test for any of us. (Read Marcus Aurelius for more detail on this line of thought.)

Doing the jobs non-Americans won't do
News flash. Men and women are different and thank God for that.
Watch more nicemichael here.

"Men and women are different..."
If they weren't, it wouldn't be possible to speak of being transgender.
Army Bans Tiktok Just to piss of Wisconsin Law Professor
Do you have any Male TikToks by men?
Here's one for you rehajm.
Both of those videos are for girls.
Oddly enough I found neither entertaining. And the third one lost it's "man" impact because he was wearing a 'Marmot' hat.
Althouse and Begley are to report for re-education.
If it pains you to stereotype you should steer clear of the interwebs.
My natural aversion to this sort of new new thing (TikTok) has been turned up to 11.
Goodness that is some silly stuff.
@Rusty What does it mean that you know the meaning of a Marmot hat? Is it manlier to know or not to know?
(Me, I don't know.)
Lately, I've been getting "video failed to load" errors on these posts. I don't know why.
Haven't men been doing that over-the-belt thing with partially tucked shirts for decades to disguise a belly bulge?
Woman of gender thought her center of gravity was lower.

Ann, you’d probably like this commercial from last year https://youtu.be/6PH88aAL7hU
Male?
I have a nearly 40 year old Marmot sleeping bag. Good bag.
Kelly,
I had to sit through an ad to see the ad (but it was worth it).

Thanks Ann, but whoa!...I think there needs to be controls on TikTok to modulate the maleness...
Why is his a mirror image?
I'm just here to check Rhardin response.
Hey, no moderation. cool.
"Male TikTok versus Female TikTok."
Next up.....Chicken Sexing!!
Birkel
Exactly.
If Ruth Bader Ginsburg retired, she'd have plenty of time to watch Tik Tok.
"It pains me to stereotype"
Why? You don't think we are all creative, autonomous, stereotype-busting individual individuals as you fancy yourself to be, do you? Or do you?
If stereotypes happen to be mostly accurate, as Lee Jussim et al. have demonstrated at great length, does it pain you to face facts?
Anyway, just to be safe, considering your non-stereotypical timidity, better stick to highlighting male stereotyping next time.

A mans hat is a Basque txapela. I rock a txapela. It also covers baldness!
The real ones are made only by Elosegui in Tolosa, accept no substitutes.
Unfortunately I dont think you can get them on Amazon.
Uh, I just googled that: on Amazon they're called berets.
Why hasn't Tarrantino used The Hustle in a movie? Is he saving it for his swan song 10th film?
Rusty links manhood to fashion accutrements because deep in his heart he knows that he does not carry a man card.
A man's hat is called a cover

Ken B,
Have you retracted your lie about me writing about the 33rd President?
A "life-changing" sweater hack. It will change your life!

In other words, a bloussan. I think that’s how it’s spelled. Ahhh, both from the 70s.
Kelly you made me tear up. Thank you for the recommendation it was a sweet way to start the day.

More stereotyping, via insty.
Tick-tock, tick-tock. Those were a few seconds wasted that I will never get back.
What is the point of tik-tok?
"Those were a few seconds wasted that I will never get back."
how much of our lives are truly spent fruitfully?
Are women more likely to be selfie-ish?
Men and women are different and thank God for that.
Equal in rights and complementary in Nature.
Bill Peschel,
As I understand it, the point is for the Chinese-owned company to gain data on its users.
I’m going to sit and watch “Bringing Up Baby.”
More entertaining than either of those choices.
You're diggin retirement, aren't you.

I fathered three children, so maybe a minute and a half?
A cover, WTF are we in Army now?
What's wrong with looking Amish? Is she going to do an unstructured dress next, telling us how to improve it so it looks less Muslim?
I loved "Randy Normal Jeans" too, and have looked for it. It's gone. I don't know why he would take it down. It's the best thing Pleaseeasaur ever did.

He's a strange act.
Not all covers are piss cutters
Birkel
I don’t remember what foolish or false thing you said about Truman. Did you object to the Berlin airlift?
Huh? He is wearing a baseball cap with a logo.
Proper hats include fedoras, cowboy hats, British flat caps, and berets.
His was better. He's still a douche, though. I'd like to see him try to replace a light switch.
Tough guys don't dance.
No I did not, you dumb shit.
You should shut your lying trap.
To all and sundry:
Ken B is a liar.
Adjust your contacts with him accordingly.
Birkel @3:17: I feel like I walked into a room and caught two people having a marital argument.
I know, I have to read the whole thread to understand, but I'm busy cooking sauce for Thursday's lasagne, so it's not going to happen.
We just got off of our time out. Don’t get us in trouble again.
Ken B is running around lying about me.
And if he'll do that to me he'll do it to anybody else.
That is all.
reader,
I self-censored to avoid that possible outcome.
What I first typed was intemperate.
@Althouse, no, it absolutely does not pain you to stereotype when it puts the female in the more positive light.
Birkel
You kinda sound intemperate you know.

I don’t believe that it pains you.

No, you liar.
You're a liar.
And everybody on these boards will know it.
You must be an advisor to the Democrats Birkel ...
A targeted (I emphasize the word) intervention is needed here.
Are you guys trying to prove the existence of male menopause, or something?
You overestimate how much anyone else here gives a shit.
Things I think about Truman:
1. I am glad he made the difficult decision and ordered the atomic bomb drops.
2. His support for the New Deal was misplaced; price controls are bad public policy.
3. His administration was full of commies; McCarthy was correct.
There, now I have written things about Truman.

You've never lied about me. The only reason I care about Ken B's lies is because he is sometimes taken seriously. I wouldn't be animated to call ARM, Ritmo, Inga, or Chuck a liar. Nobody takes them seriously. I don't feed those trolls.
But Ken B is a liar.
Auto-un-correct got me.
I wear a bicorn. Is that a cover?

That’s panache!

Cannot compare "this" to "this" as each image gives me:
"Page not available"
"This page is not available in your area"
Did not know I was in a red-lined area or whatever.
Phidippus,
You may talk to Ken B and me as if we are acting the same.
But Ken B is a liar.
I am not.
Let's treat like things alike.
And unlike things differently.
Ken B is a liar.

Me too. Try this, click on the "video failed to load" and see if that gets the video to play. It's worked for me.
