    “Hello”

    “Good, and you?”

    “Not much.”

    “Welp, see ya later!”

    For me, it was usually some variation of “Do you have kids?” or “When you meet the right woman.” that signals the beginning of the end of our nice, casual, non-awkward chit-chat. But now that I cut my own hair, I don’t hold back with my barber when he asks me stuff like that.

    I kinda hate going to the barbers because the conversation will always spin towards sports or women and I’m not interested in either.

      I’ve been getting ladies to cut my hair for a while now. The conversations are a lot better I feel.

      My main problem is that I don’t really care about my hair, so when the barber asks me what I want my only answer is “I don’t know. The same but shorter?” Which doesn’t actually help the poor guy because I’ll ignore my need for a haircut for half a year at a time.

        This is literally the exact perfect situation to VANCE-IT with a confident “Just whatever makes sense.”

          He sets the appointment in three weeks, when you come in he spins you in the chair once and takes 20 bucks.

      There’s a tangible market for gay barbers, you say?

        1000%, I’d never trust a straight man with my hair. That being said I usually just end up going to women-owned salons, so that’d be your real completion.

        Aren’t most hairdressers/barbers gay? I do not trust heterosexual barbers any more than I trust women handling my hair.

          I prefer women handling my hair. I’d rather have their opinion on it than a man.

          Most of mine have been straight or at least temporarily closeted and they’ve been decent.

        To be fair there is a really cool LGBT hairdressers not far from me! I go there when I can, but it’s hard to get an appointment sometimes.

        Annoyingly I really like how the ‘regular’ barbers do my hair. But there’s only so much chat about poker and clubbing in Ibiza that I can handle :'3

Community Rules

You must post before you leave

Be nice. Assume others have good intent (within reason).

Block or ignore posts, comments, and users that irritate you in some way rather than engaging. Report if they are actually breaking community rules.

Use content warnings and/or mark as NSFW when appropriate. Most posts with content warnings likely need to be marked NSFW.

Most 196 posts are memes, shitposts, cute images, or even just recent things that happened, etc. There is no real theme, but try to avoid posts that are very inflammatory, offensive, very low quality, or very “off topic”.

Bigotry is not allowed, this includes (but is not limited to): Homophobia, Transphobia, Racism, Sexism, Abelism, Classism, or discrimination based on things like Ethnicity, Nationality, Language, or Religion.

Avoid shilling for corporations, posting advertisements, or promoting exploitation of workers.

Proselytization, support, or defense of authoritarianism is not welcome. This includes but is not limited to: imperialism, nationalism, genocide denial, ethnic or racial supremacy, fascism, Nazism, Marxism-Leninism, Maoism, etc.

Moderator Guidelines

Moderator Guidelines

  • Don’t be mean to users. Be gentle or neutral.
  • Most moderator actions which have a modlog message should include your username.
  • When in doubt about whether or not a user is problematic, send them a DM.
  • Don’t waste time debating/arguing with problematic users.
  • Assume the best, but don’t tolerate sealioning/just asking questions/concern trolling.
  • Ask another mod to take over cases you struggle with, if you get tired, or when things get personal.
  • Ask the other mods for advice when things get complicated.
  • Share everything you do in the mod matrix, both so several mods aren’t unknowingly handling the same issues, but also so you can receive feedback on what you intend to do.
  • Don’t rush mod actions. If a case doesn’t need to be handled right away, consider taking a short break before getting to it. This is to say, cool down and make room for feedback.
  • Don’t perform too much moderation in the comments, except if you want a verdict to be public or to ask people to dial a convo down/stop. Single comment warnings are okay.
  • Send users concise DMs about verdicts about them, such as bans etc, except in cases where it is clear we don’t want them at all, such as obvious transphobes. No need to notify someone they haven’t been banned of course.
  • Explain to a user why their behavior is problematic and how it is distressing others rather than engage with whatever they are saying. Ask them to avoid this in the future and send them packing if they do not comply.
  • First warn users, then temp ban them, then finally perma ban them when they break the rules or act inappropriately. Skip steps if necessary.
  • Use neutral statements like “this statement can be considered transphobic” rather than “you are being transphobic”.
  • No large decisions or actions without community input (polls or meta posts f.ex.).
  • Large internal decisions (such as ousting a mod) might require a vote, needing more than 50% of the votes to pass. Also consider asking the community for feedback.
  • Remember you are a voluntary moderator. You don’t get paid. Take a break when you need one. Perhaps ask another moderator to step in if necessary.
