It's completely presentable and you thinking it's not is your own opinion. Beards will always be a thing. They grow on our faces and we don't have control other than shaving. Idk about you but I am a man. My facial hair is coarse and I have sensitive skin. If I were to shave everyday like society wants me to I'd have razor burn and rashes all over my face. What's more acceptable some facial hair? Or open wounds on my face?
Also beards went away for several reasons, Off the top of my head I can think of 2.
WWII and gas masks. Facial hair was causing gas masks to have gaps and not work properly, which is when the military enacted their facial hair rules.
JFK vs Nixon debates were aired on TV nationally. When this happened people liked the way JFK looked clean shaven because at the time even a 5 o'clock shadow would make you look "dirty". So the ceos and corporations adopted that and made it a work place standard.
Beards are acceptable, beards are natural, and i find it's really only those who are jealous they can't grown one that have issues.
That is the wildest take I’ve ever heard. Full beards can be presentable, professional and clean. A beard goes with a suit like peanut butter goes with jelly.
The nextcloud client has the option to setup the folder as a virtual folder. this wouldn’t sync the files locally but would download them on first access, kind of like how OneDrive works. Would this not work for OP or did I miss read
OK so I managed to enable it! :) Thanks for everyone suggestions.
If you have the same issue and find this thread later: on a regular install, open /home/yourusername/.config/Nextcloud/nextcloud.cfg with a text editor. On flatpak, open /home/yourusername/.var/app/com.nextcloud.desktopclient.nextcloud/config/Nextcloud/nextcloud.cfg. Add the line showExperimentalOptions=true under the general section. Restart Nextcloud desktop and delete the current synchronization destionation. Readd it and you’ll see the option to use virtual files. Confirm that it’s experimental and you’re done.
I did but that’s only syncing one folder if I’m not mistaken. I want to see everything though and if I make changes to files these changes should be synced back to the cloud.
Maybe I’m using the wrong one? Mine just sits in the task bar and displays the sync status and “helpful” app recommendations. I want to see the files though (in Dolphin for example)…
I figured I might have a wrong version or something so I went ahead and grabbed the one off of flathub, but that’s the same one. It syncs everything to one folder on the disk but only until the disk is full. I kinda wanted something like iCloud that would show everthing but only download on demand (so it doesn’t take up all the space).
But no, seriously, there’s a big book of insults that actually fit Netanyahu. Genocidal maniac. Baby killer. Warmonger. Neocolonialist. The list goes on and on. Trying to fit the label “Nazi” on a Jew is a fool’s errand.
When referring to Jewish neocolonists, you mean. Surely nobody is going to get in trouble for referring to anticolonial Jews as ‘Kapos’ or whatnot, which I have seen much too often.
It will soon, the bill passed the house that adds “comparing Israel to Nazis” to the official antisemitic hate speech list - but according to a friend (been out of town and busy to read it myself) it’s worded to cover basically any criticism of Israel.
The point is once its added the department of education can pull funding, accreditation, etc from any schools that “allow antisemitic speech or actions (aka protests)”
Not in Spain, our president is advocating for an independent Palestinian state as a path to ending genocide (sic) and fostering peace in the Middle East…
Yeah, beards have been common since at least the ‘hipster/lumbersexual’ memes which were about 2008 or so. There’s not been any particular drop off since then. It’s just accepted that some people prefer or look better with a beard.
Yeah, I haven’t been clean shaven since I could first pull off a beard. Last time I saw my naked face was 15 years ago.
That said, I have started to put more effort into my beard to try to keep up with trends. Growing it out, oiling it, shaping the edges. It’s fun, but I still find myself trimming it down after too long just to make it easier to manage.
What oil are you using? Hands down the best stuff I have ever tried is from a small New Zealand brand called Lambert’s Luscious Beard Oils. I started getting compliments at work after switching to that stuff.
Dawg like a year ago I came back into the office for the first time since Covid and all the 20 year olds had somewhere between pedo stashes and handlebars. Zoomers crack me up they’re great
It’s partly because of Top Gun and some other recent pop culture occurrence I can’t recall off the top of my head. But yeah, I know several people at work who recently started doing it as well, and one of them mentioned that as their inspiration. I’m guessing a few started bc of that and more followed suit, because why not or something.
You’d be surprised. Just Google it, there are tons of pop magazines and websites that discuss it and how it was trending on TikTok for awhile after the movie came out. And just to add, most fads begin with celebrities/influencers starting them across the various age demographics.
I think zoomers are young enough not to have the generational memory of how creepy mustaches are, so suddenly they're cool again. I'm afraid it'll last until the zoomers are old enough to be the creepy ones.
WITH file synchronization you’d use nextcloud-client, obviously, otherwise I think GNOME file manager can connect to a nextcloud instance and browse files without downloading them
Exactly. When I was clean shaven, it was easy, I could just hold the shaver against the contours of my face.
Now, with a large beard, I only need to shave every one or two weeks, but it takes much longer to do so and is much trickier. I’ve got to sculpt and shape a mound of hair manually. And every day I still brush and oil it.
Ha, NSFW example but my God when people call the tight trimmed triangle a “natural bush” on women I laugh. It’s more work to maintain than just about any other alternative.
A short trimmed beard you have to do the neck and maybe cheekbones, it’s a lot of upkeep.
I think lots of guys had that type of beard pre-covid, then let it grow out. Once it’s long enough you don’t have to do the neck because it’s hidden by the rest of your beard.
And some guys never have to do cheeks because it grows in good.
Like how 20 years ago it was cool for teenagers and 20 somethings to have goatees. It took me a while to realize most were doing it because they couldn’t grow a full beard.
There’s a lot of variation in facial hair, including where it grows and how thick.
Exactly, it’s actually MORE work to shave with a beard because instead of just completely removing all of the hair and you have to shape it and make sure it’s symmetrical.
Very variable, depending on style and your personal growth pattern. I have a small patch on each cheek that has to be cleaned off, but otherwise it doesn’t require shaving. With a big beard you have to care for it like normal hair, though, with haircuts and products.
its the other way around for those people: they have a beard because they stopped shaving, not because they wanted a nice looking beard.
tbh there is a part of me that resents this “ew you grow facial hair and don’t shave around the edges to create sharp lines” view though. Its like women feeling they have to shave their legs or pits, it’s BS and people shouldn’t be judged for literally just how their body naturally is. Its not like there’s a legitimate sanitary reason for shaving legs or necks.
I’ve (recently) stopped shaving entirely, but I use my trimmers to to a quick hackjob on the area I used to manually shave. so my facial hair care routine is about 5 minutes every 2 weeks or so, plus maybe 5 minutes a month to buzz my head. can’t believe I used to spend that much time every couple of days to look like shit. now I still look like shit but have a few more minutes
Becoming a wizard isn’t so trivial as just being declared one - many wizards apprenticed themselves to gain knowledge and improve their chances but that elevation is a personal journey.
You will know you’re a wizard when you can look at fellows in your skill and know that none of them would challenge your adoption of the title. I wish you the best of luck. It’s a title within reach of everyone in their lifetime.
The staff and robes are optional but who would turn down a badass purple robe.
The biggest problem with growing a beard is that it only looks good after a certain amount of time. When people grow beards it’s usually when they are on vacation because it is nice not having to shave and you dont have to look professional with a crazy half grown beard.
A couple of years ago the word took an extended vacation and a lot of people took the opportunity to grow a beard.
Eh, idk. Depends on the person. I’ve been going for a “scruff” look for a few years now. I trim close-ish 1-2 times/week, just before it starts to get itchy from hairs getting long enough. I always have at least 1-2mm facial hair.
If I go clean-shaven, I have baby face and I look 10 years younger. Not a good look. A bit of scruff makes me look closer to my age, but I don’t like the look of a full beard on me since I can’t grow a decent mustache. It looks like I’m trying too hard.
Could be recency bias, could be that fashion is a cycle that repeats and old fashions are rediscovered. Could be laziness because at some point it becomes easier to trim a beard once every month than shave everyday.
Some people’s skin also can’t handle daily trauma from razors.
It also looks more interesting than a vanilla clean shave, imo. People might be looking to stand out for that reason.
Same here. I used to shave my head and face but recently I went through a period of over-work and didn't have time to shave. Everyone told me I looked better with hair and beard, including the wife. So hair and beard it is then

I might have fucked up the order, but it means “multiple twin hairs”. Like, where just one hair should grow out of your skin, you have multiples.
If you let it just grow, you’re fine. But if you shave it’s very easy for it to be ingrown because the “hole” the hairs come thru was only meant for one hair.
When I was in the military and had to shave every day it was horrible. I don’t know if shaving makes more grow, but I’d have stubble thicker than mechanical pencil lead, and when I’d pluck it I’d find out it was 3-5 hairs attached to the same “root”. One of those becoming ingrown is a huge hassle.
With a beard, it’ll just shed normally or come out when I comb it. The problem is when you shave and the hair bunch has to keep pushing thru the skin over and over.
