@moonrabbit This is my house’s black bean soup recipe:

@RickiTarr Clothes manufacturers, facial hair and coal dust lung

@RickiTarr
That's me, 3rd from right.

@RickiTarr fascinating how subjective beauty is.

@RickiTarr literally nothing

@RickiTarr top of head hair, but apart from that…

@RickiTarr That unmustachioed guy must be so embarrassed.

@RickiTarr

Early Clair Obscur swimsuit designs

@RickiTarr it's too cold.

@RickiTarr good taste?

@RickiTarr
Anxiety and depression mostly

@RickiTarr

...

Absolutely nothing.

@RickiTarr numerous reasons, really

@RickiTarr

I ate my greens 😂

@RickiTarr my wife, at step one

@RickiTarr

It's the mustache, Ricki, the mustache.

By pure coincidence, I actually look a lot like this, as I have the mustache and something that looks a lot like the swimming trunk of these fine gentlemen.

No, no pictures. Don't ask, I am blushing already.

@RickiTarr Self-respect?

@RickiTarr What makes you think I don't look like that?

@RickiTarr about a hundred years of societal evolution

@RickiTarr I look exactly like number 4, and I am dressed that way on the train right now.

@RickiTarr

. . . no mustache

@RickiTarr Dignity and self respect. I mean with regard to the mustaches. I already have the big belly and the spindly legs. 🤣

@RickiTarr Curious. Is this before or after medicine ball practice?

@RickiTarr If you imagine this but less mustache, more dadbod, a lot less “package”, a lot paler, and sweaty, I’m a dead ringer!

@RickiTarr

The inability to knit my own swimsuit.

@RickiTarr jokes on you, I already look like that, purely by accident 😂

@RickiTarr Are those... knees??? Scandalous! 🫣

@RickiTarr 70 pounds

@RickiTarr dignity and self respect, mainly.

@RickiTarr not a damn thing.

@RickiTarr horizontal stripes make me look fat.

@RickiTarr well, theres a lot of DEI going on there 😜 I mean, we have one guy who refuses to wear a mustache, another who bucked the horizontal stripes trend by going vertical.

Then there's the guy willing to stick with the mustachioed crowd, but refused to cover up his belly button, was clearly more a briefs than boxer sort, and either dared to go stripe-less or just said, "All's I'm sayin' is shades of gray, guys. Shades of gray."

I'm not even going to get into the socks vs no socks debate.

@RickiTarr

I've been trying for a long time, but I just can't get this abrupt transition from a pale body to a tanned head, as if drawn with a ruler 😔
Especially No. 2, just adorable 📏

@RickiTarr Nothing. Pic sent. Let me know if you need more.

@RickiTarr

It sure as hell isn't entropy.

I'm gonna say Mrs Miasma stops most of my fashion failures from ever getting out in public. So that's good for everybody.

@RickiTarr lack of gumption

@RickiTarr

Exercise?

@RickiTarr with the exception of the second from left guy, a sweet moustache and possibly some tonic from the shoppe.

@RickiTarr taste, decency, and the availability of synthetic textiles

@RickiTarr
Ladies, did you check out those 1919 gams?

@RickiTarr I can't grow a mustache.

@RickiTarr It was probably at the same time they stopped knitting underpants.

@RickiTarr @SmolYamber About 75lbs. 😆

@RickiTarr @lisamelton Baldness you hair shamer!

@RickiTarr
Women.

@RickiTarr Uh, about a hundred years.

@RickiTarr Just have to shave my Goatee down a little!

A modicum of fashion sense?

Pride?

Self respect?

@RickiTarr Moustache

@RickiTarr 😂

@RickiTarr Mostly that you can't buy underpants like that anymore, you would have to fashion them yourself out of a bathmat.

@RickiTarr A modicum of taste.

@RickiTarr if carrying a mustache was the hardest work I ever had to do and I could find some over-the-belly striped trunks made of burlap or whatever that is.

@RickiTarr I can't knit swimming trunks like these, and nobody will do it for me!

@RickiTarr improvements in materials technology.

@RickiTarr this economy

@RickiTarr well for one thing, I don't have a massive c*ock

Alt...

snip of one of the men from the original picture sporting a huge trouser penis

@RickiTarr Your body is the vessel that carries your life, all are different and all are flawed.

*Looks like about 60lbs, a couple feet of hair, one leg and a parrot.
Pretty tough looking crew though, I'd give em a chance.

@RickiTarr Pizazz

@RickiTarr pride. I didn't let anyone see my junk drawers

@RickiTarr my addiction to the gym

@RickiTarr first i thought I had the front camera on.

@RickiTarr My dignity.

@RickiTarr
I would need a note from my wife.

@RickiTarr

I mask at work and that moustache would be uncomfortable.

@RickiTarr

...clothes...?

@RickiTarr
1) availability of striped shorts
2) colour film

@RickiTarr This feels like a one of those horrid IQ questions where you have to spot which one doesn't belong, but your brain can make at least 7 different categories that eliminates every one for a different reason.

@RickiTarr I don't want to shave my beard off.

@RickiTarr

A lack of style.

@RickiTarr my wife, current social standards, my personal tastes, mostly my wife

@RickiTarr Their partners.

@RickiTarr My inability to grow that sort of mustache.

@RickiTarr my wife. To put it in her words: "can't you at least pretend to be an adult?" :')

@RickiTarr
...Self awareness...? 😬😒

@RickiTarr Proper nutrition as a child

@RickiTarr

taste?

@RickiTarr

I want to reply guy this sooooo badly

@RickiTarr A mustache and a pair of woolen swimming trunks.

@RickiTarr

Ricki, those mustaches would really tickle my fancy.If you know what I mean

@RickiTarr

My first reaction was: Why do all three guys on the left have boners?

@RickiTarr

Probably because handlebar mustache wax is super expensive

@RickiTarr Women.

@RickiTarr "Damnit, Bob, we said horizontal stripes."

@RickiTarr I just look like Jack Black. When I go pick up my daughter from her school, kids sometimes say "chicken jockey!" When they see me.

@RickiTarr dignity

@halla @frameworkcomputer

Smashing idea.

How about donating to some more actual non-fascists, since you see to believe that "big tents" is the best way forward.

Not sure how many projects or groups would accept though 😔🤦‍♂️

Maybe a in house training course on ethics, diversity and philosophy (including some Karl Popper) would be a very good idea.

@halla alternatively you could pursue legal action against @frameworkcomputer for having your brand associated with nazis

@halla @frameworkcomputer thanks for reminding me about Krita. I’d been meaning to try it— since Affinity has hinted it might be going the enshittification route later this month.

@halla @frameworkcomputer maybe they meant circus tent

@halla God damnit. I just bought one of their laptops. Was super excited too. Why the fuck is it so hard for people to not be a giant piece of shit.

@halla @frameworkcomputer give them a break, they have seek permission from their investors... Like Linus, no no not that real one, the wanna be tech bro whiney loud mouth one. He is also very apolitical just like Framework - guess that's were their shared values come from, only time he shows any interest in politics is like that time Canadian right wing truck convoy in during Covid, not at all a libertarian capitalist wanna be like the daddies he worship like NAZI fElon.

@halla @frameworkcomputer They hired a human rights opposer and called it a big tent? Cringe. Unless I see an equitable effort to hire marginalized folks I'm probably not getting a framework for my next laptop. I read the job listings before hand and I got the feeling people like me didn't belong... Guess this comforms that...

@halla @frameworkcomputer Yes please! I'd love for Krita to get more resources, I know professional artists that rave about it 😁

@halla

Sounds fair ...
@frameworkcomputer

@halla @frameworkcomputer Reminds me we should probably put a bit into that pot ourselves.
