Happy Men's Day! :)
- yawpitch 2y agoNow, if only we could stop associating men with the color blue. I’m a man, and when I’m not wearing black my colors are pink and mustard.
- BSDobelix 2y agoNo, I like blue, and what you're wearing has nothing to do with it... but pink and mustard are a terrible combination, and that means you're as masculine as it gets ;)

- BSDobelix 2y agoCan you explain?
- MrHamburger 2y agoI guess it is stemming from left leaning influencers on social media blaming white men for all ails in the world.
- BSDobelix 2y agoAh, I get it, it's getting really stale when racists/misandrist wrap themselves in leftist clothes...sad.
- 082349872349872 2y agoDo we celebrate by joining the army? No, wait, that's 23 Feb.
- defrost 2y agoRIP Ансамбль Александрова - they didn't get the day but perhaps they now should. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jrg0X9H6FGU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jrg0X9H6FGU
- _mlbt 2y agoI think that was intended to be a joke, but in all seriousness military service can be a great way for men (and women of course too, but we're talking about men here :) ) to serve. Military service is about much more than going to war and fighting in combat. Humanitarian missions are common. Many medical and technological advances have come from the military. It is also a great mentorship program for young adults. I've seen so many troubled individuals find their way and their calling by serving in the military. The military is also one of the best ways to obtain valuable job skills. Of course it's certainly not for everyone, but I have no regrets about my service in the military.
- 082349872349872 2y agoThanks for the perspective; yes, it was a joke, but one that may have required too much knowledge of "likely adversaries"*: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defender_of_the_Fatherland_Day#:~:text=unofficially%2c%20nationally%20it,as%20%22Men's%20Day%22 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defender_of_the_Fatherland_Day... * combined with jeans, this could also be a meta-joke: — Lt. Rzhevsky! Why not in uniform? And even wearing jeans; national costume of most likely adversary! — Col. Isaev, Sir! Jeans here: most likely war trophy. Judging from the first few seconds of https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIzuNHm4lng https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fIzuNHm4lng , in the 1990s motorcycle brands in the east were mostly slavic: Minsk, Voskhod, Planeta, etc. but clothing brands were mostly western: NBA, Adidas, Nike, etc.
- getwiththeprog 2y agoThe theme this year is "positive male role models" My favourite is Dr Who, (1963-89), in particular the Fifth Doctor, Peter Davison.
- release-object 2y agoA great pick. Would it be childish to suggest the 13th?
- BSDobelix 2y agoAnd Captain Jean-Luc Picard (just in TNG...NOT Picard) ;)
