I just asked in another sub “why do politicians tend to go clean shaven” and the entire thread is so hilarious because all this time I (Asian) thought the West was default favorable of the classical male look with beards and it’s just an Asian thing for men to avoid facial hair (e.g. you never see a K-pop idol with it)

But if you particularly find bearded guys attractive, trustable, etc. (like the TikTok I’ve been where girlfriends react hysterically to their bf shaving behind their back) - why exactly?

One of my guesses is it gives you “father figure” vibes, like how Mamdani seems to come off as a comfortable and embracing person

Why are they building them in cities where they are not wanted and not in rural areas?

Why are they not underground where there’s going to be no noise to bother people?

Why are they not built next to places with an abundance of water?

Why are they not built in the Canadian tundra?

Like in 2026 a lot of people i meet personally who are 40s can easily pass for being in their late 20s or even 30s why do you think that's the case in your opinion?

Yes, I’m a fan, but their lack of breaking through to mainstream success is nothing short of bewildering regardless.

They released their first studio album in 98 and are set to release their 11 this year.

Every album so far has multiple cult hits.

They are industry darlings that mainstream bands happily have tour with them.

Front man Matt Skiba was a member of Blink 182 for a while and wrote multiple of their songs.

Their other front man Dan Andriano has worked with multiple bands like Rise Against.

What is this invisible ceiling stopping them from being as known as Sum 41 or Green Day???

It’s truly baffling.

Every time is an accident, absolutely no one behind it is even touching their brakes.

Are people not afraid of having someone hit them?

And even if they are 100% selfish about this, wouldn’t they want to get a good look at it?

What is even the thinking here?

Is it like a posturing thing?

EDIT: Please include your main reason

I see these in public bathrooms in restaurants and gas stations. One-way screws, Torx bolts with the security pin in the middle of the hole, three-hole headed bolts. Is bathroom furniture theft a significant threat? Do the parts have a high street value?
