Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

The guy with a literal Hitler mustache who attacked Sandy Hook parents of dead children isn't a good guy?

I am shocked.

OMG!

Show your support for the new right by getting a reverse-hitler shave job 🤣

On a related note, the Amish "beard and no mustache" came about because early on, the British Army required mustaches, and the Amish wanted to be sure that they weren't like people who make war.

The army required muataches? How long?

I think they still can wear mustaches to some degree, a prick mustache is always a good career move in the violent Arts. It also is the last piece of facial hair to go Gray so people like to Showcase that part.

I’ll buy that for a dollar!

Really? I want to believe this so badly that wasn’t an intentional X-Files reference.

Delightful :-) Thanks for the link. There’s a bunch of facing tidbits there.

British officers being required to sport a stache might be my favorite so far.

One of my biggest fears (well, I only think about it when I'm shaving, but you get the idea) is that my electric razor dies before I'm done and I end up with a hitlerstache. I always do that part first, just in case!

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

In the army when I was in, you could only go to the edge of your mouth. Fuck, I need to even it out. Fuck, I went too far again...I need to even it out...oh, oh no. Fuck it I'll look like a child for a week.

I’ve come so close to ordering that weird guide thing you bite down on… but Gibson just ruined it for me. I think it was like the evil sysadmin at blue ant had one or something?

It’s just been way to long since I read a book… not that one specifically, it’s just making me nostalgic for books now.

[–] Cassanderer@thelemmy.club 2 points 4 days ago

Spare thought about the people with the cleft upper lip, when the razor is dull that part doesn't get shaved as much as the rest of the face so the person gets a 5:00 Hitler shadow later in the day.

You’re not alone, 20% of hipsters facial hair styles are directly attributable to this phenomenon!

That goes up to a whopping 40%… south of the equator.

Which makes this 60% of a global warming joke.
