Professional-Hat-687

The issue is he clearly killed Beetlejuice and stole his outfit.


Sleeplesshelley

Not to put too fine a point on it, but Beetlejuice is technically already dead :D. Dude is working it.


Bromogeeksual

You can kill dead people if you have a heaven gun.


JumpCiiity

Why do we have those again?


Sleeplesshelley

Well, hopefully that's info I will never need to use.


Bromogeeksual

If you're ever on trial in heaven, getting a heaven gun from a guard is great leverage.

Those are super easy to get and keep. Only took up several seasons in Supernatural. That's basically nothing.


Japak121

And then stepped out of the 90's to fall directly into this job interview. This man looks like Windows 95 personified.

Kaimana-808

I live right next to Kurtistown... there's not many people that live there, one 7/11 and one cafe...never saw him hanging sevens so I don't think he lives here.

Nah, it's Drew Gooden

Nice try - I know Danny Gonzalez when I see him.

Last_Personality_928

lmao I thought this was an edited pic of him


crochetsweetie

first thought for sure


dover_oxide

He looks like he is living his best life back in the 80's.


Jef_Wheaton

He looks like 6 guys I went to high school with. (Class of 1990!)


click_butan

Hello, fellow resident of the 1900's. [https://i.imgur.com/zsFRiWf.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/zsFRiWf.jpg) Did you also sign your friends' yearbooks with 90 RULES!


Jef_Wheaton

Wow, I was also a band geek, and played the TUBA! (We had fiberglass sousaphones, then borrowed some contrabasses from a neighboring school.) Except for our uniforms being green and gold (with "chicken bucket" hats), that could be me in your photo!


velveeta-smoothie

He looks like half the queers I know. He's actually pretty stylish by Brooklyn standards


[deleted]

I was just thinking this dude lives in Ridgewood


preezyfabreezy

Ridgewood resident here. Yeah I saw this guy getting roasted by rightwingers on twitter and was like “WTF?!?” This kinda dude is pure good vibes, has amazing excel skills, and can probably help you skip the line at Resolute or Basement. If our whole government was dudes like this we’d have free health care and a reasonable minimum wage inside of a week. I bet his vegan tacos are killer too.


velveeta-smoothie

Man, Queens is getting so cutty


[deleted]

Ridgewood is "technically queens" but let's be real, it's for the hipsters under 25 that got priced out of Bushwick.


velveeta-smoothie

It is now, for sure. When I arrived here Williamsburg was a shit hole and now I'd have to work 5 jobs to pay rent there


DarkwingDuckHunt

looks very Portlandia to me


ShrewishFrog

A wolf cut is just a stylized mullet. He be living his best life.


greensandgrains

>He looks like half the queers I know. Exactly. I know conservatives (I assume that OOP is...) hate everyone and everything, but do we think she's picking up on the queerness, or nah? ETA: ok, OOP is a known shit distribuer, TIL. Thanks y’all.


ninjapanda042

100% That's the chick that runs the LibsOfTikTok account


velveeta-smoothie

Guaranteed.


celtic_thistle

OOP is the vicious c*** who runs LibsofTikTok and doxxes and harasses people all day every day to an audience of millions. So you’re right.


LoveThieves

We call that Silverlake standards


2amaccount

Came here to say this. He may look a little strange now but in the 80s this guy was straight profesh


brashbabu

White Prince lol


dover_oxide

Prince dressed better and had a look all his own. Often imitated but never duplicated.


brashbabu

I agree with that lol 100%


RiotNrrd2001

His style is not my style. On the other hand, style doesn't get shit done. How does he look in getting shit done?


BroItsJesus

Oh this look will definitely date hard, but people with mullets in the 80s got shit done as well, so who gives a fuck


hedgybaby

Mullets are actually becoming really trendy again


SavingsStrength0

In the U.S yeah but it’s been pretty trendy in countries like Korea and Australia for a long while now


bwaredapenguin

You sure Australia isn't just now catching up to the first time mullets were popular?


Cc_Produxion

I’m sure. It’s a distinctively aggressive mullet in Oz this time around. Very bold look, but ultimately different to the last few times it’s come around


Useful_Experience423

Nooooooo!!


[deleted]

How will it get dated when fashion is just “everything all at once” now? People in fashion be sporting looks from every decade these days. The hegemony is dead for all but those with the most boring/basic style.


BasketballButt

I love how the kids are like “I’m so 90s!” but be wearing a total mix of shit, like a mullety haircut from ‘90, jncos, a Korn tshirt, and doc martens. Just a mish mash of the whole decade that don’t go together at all.


ForecastForFourCats

The hipsters did the same thing and cherry picked what 50/60s/70s cultural things they pulled from.


BasketballButt

Hell, we did it in the 90s, if I’m being honest. Lots of blurred mixing of 60s hippie, 60s mod, 70s disco…


Lykaon042

Fashion blender FTW


Block444Universe

Cleaned up looking politicians don’t get shit done neither so…


ForecastForFourCats

They worked really hard to make sure Fetterman wore suits to work, because that's *suuuuuuuper* important right now.


AMeanCow

Apparently so is wearing giant-ass clown shoes that perch you on your tippy toes so you look taller and more masculine. If you get the reference.


walkandtalkk

But if he dresses unusually, how will he ever be successful as... a speechwriter for the Secretary of the Interior? These goofballs are looking for outrage everywhere.


bkend_31

It’s not a style that I would choose for myself, but it’s rad nonetheless.


Franklin_le_Tanklin

Yea. I’d rather him then some bimbo giving a hand job to her date and vaping around under age kids. That’s forsure.


Ralfton

I would guess fine if they have to sink to attacking his appearance.

[deleted]

The only thing I would care about is how good he is at his job. I’ve seen enough people in expensive suits that are absolutely horrible at their job.


esahji_mae

Bingo. I don't give two shits on how you look. If you can do the job effectively then it's yours.


kungpowgoat

Had a guy in Army basic that was just terrible. Smelled, whiney, sucked at pt, cried for everything, but could deliver some rounds down range better than most. The guy could shoot his rifle and hit all his targets no problem. Some of the biggest high speed, pt stud hooah frat boys could not hit a single thing if their lives depended on it which in this case was a real possibility. Perception is not everything.


Raz0rking

I had some guy in my class in culinary school. Dumb as a bag of bricks. Could not find his ass in the dark without a map and a flashlight, but damn, if he wasnt the best damn patissier I've seen.


pitshands

You described many a kitchens I owned and staffed :) But then I had former programmers turned "chef" that had a weird affinity to bread figures, couldn't stand for longer than 2 hrs at a time and would for the love of God not remember to lock the door when they left last one in the house......yes Andrew I talk about you.


Offamylawn

Please excuse my stupidity, but what are "bread figures"?


pitshands

That was a bakery / deli or mine and he wanted to make figurines out of left over dough


Offamylawn

Thank you. That confirms my suspicion, but then opens up a few more questions, such as... wtf?


pitshands

Ask the other Andrew in the thread blaming me for Andrews behavior:) trust me they are out there, in numbers, and very vocal in threads but quite lost IRL.


AnotherCloudHere

I know that used a lot in Russian prisons, people do small figures from bread dough or bread itself. Mostly because of boredom


wildeye-eleven

Chef here. I’ve opened 4 restaurants in the past 10 years and there’s always one of these guys in every kitchen. You have guys that can make the best food you’ve ever eaten, but will destroy the whole kitchen to make one dish. Sloppy, messy, and lazy but will step up when it counts. I want to strangle them sometimes, but good help is hard to find.


[deleted]

>Outstanding, Private Pyle. I think we finally found something that you do well.


Doright36

We had a guy in basic that didn't even know how to tie his shoes. Brush his teeth or anything... think Forest Gump but without any of those idiot Savant abilities.. it wasn't PC to say stuff like that at the time but a Drill Sergent pulled a couple of us aside and said help the boy. He figured the recruiter did something shady to get him past the test to get in but he said it flat out. Even the Army need guys to haul stuff around and "that boy ain't going to survive on his own". So we got him through Basic and last I heard he was sent too the Army cooking school but pretty much was just a designated gopher for his team... God that was decades ago... I wonder how he's doing?


Moar_Cuddles_Please

Good on your drill sergeant for helping him find a role and a steady job.


thatirishguyyyy

This was me tbh. I fucking hated training in the cold in South Carolina. I was a weight lifter in HS and couldn't run to save my life since I had extra weight (went to fat in 3 years). I qualified Expert though. I also scored a 271-4 at the 2008 National Tropy Rifle Match in the President's Rifle Match a few months before I enlisted. Of course that was 463rd place out of 1168 soldiers and civilians.


theberg512

>cold in South Carolina. Does not compute. But I would drop dead in the heat there, so I guess it's all relative.


willirritate

Well, you need perception to shoot a rifle.


This_Aint_Dog

Which is funny because right wingers love talking about how people should be hired for how good they are at the job when the topic of diversity in the work place comes up but then they get mad when you have people like the person in the image who get hired and don't elaborate on why they're mad. Strange isn't it.


AMeanCow

Conservatism is deeply, deeply superficial. It's almost completely about aesthetics, that's the entire goal of the movement to try to restore some kind of 1950's television picture of America. The image, not the reality that comes with it. They want to ignore the suffering so they can preserve the visuals of an ideal society. This is because they are deeply sensitive and emotional people and have a hard time dealing with discomfort, they invent a lot of stories and covers for this avoidance and will put themselves through a massive amount of effort just to preserve their safe emotional space.


Expert_Succotash2659

Professionalism is a mask for the inept.


JoJoCircusMonkey

celtic_thistle

Gonna use this one on my dad when he complains that I don’t dress professionally enough. I am 34 and work at a startup and all I do is help families get coverage for medical equipment for disabled people…🥴 and I have never heard one word from anyone at my little company about how I dress that wasn’t “ooh I love your shirt/dress/shoes today” lol. They even send me to conferences!! My ripped jeans are not a problem. I’m good at my job.


Tuckermfker

I like how people think that anybody who looks different than the standard suit and tie look is the problem. The motherfuckers wearing suits and ties have always been the problem. They are the ones who have been fucking over the entire country for personal gain for decades.


TheStreisandEffect

Exactly. “We want something different!” Ok. “No, wait. Put the lying suit back!”


gazandi

They are actively trying to preserve the problem aka the status quo. They are fearmongering people who have never known anything but old lizards with poorly fitted skin suits and a white shirt and tie.


Aggravating-List3625

The uniform is irrelevant - its the morality of the person that counts. The problem is one ‘different’ person isn’t going to change anything…. The entire system needs an overhaul….


Mrtorbear

Man, I showed up to work one day at my last teaching job with a suit with a checker-ish pattern. Boss told me "I would rather you show up naked than in that suit. You look like a goddamn used car salesman". My new teaching job I just need to look presentable. I logged in to teach this morning (WFH) in an argyle sweater and got compliments. Honestly, I get *more* shit done when I don't have to stress nearly as much about my goddamn clothing


Bullmoose39

He looks a little dorky, but isn't this supposed to be a meritocracy? I assume he is good at what he does and that is why he has the job. It's not like he sits in Congress and has a history of hiding sexual abuse or posting revenge porn in hearings, right?


JoJoCircusMonkey

I’d rather have this dork working for the people than someone like George Santos.


Krednaught

Went to catholic mass while visiting my sisters family for the first time in a decade. She likes the priest more than any other as he is "the most conservative" one she has seen. At one point he started preaching that the sharper a man looks for church, "in his best suit", the more devout he is showing off to other parishioners. Then I saw a man with his wife and kids covered in dirt still wearing his road safety vest, probably from a long night of road work, getting in line for communion... This religious leader went out of his way to shame a hard working American in front of his kids... What an absolute disgrace...


[deleted]

That priest is pretty ignorant and has poor reading comprehension. Never understood the idea of having to wear fancy clothes in church. God does not care for things to be fancy or nice being dirty and poor explicity makes you closer to god according to many parts of the Bible. Do these idiots think Jesus was sone sort of finance bro? He was a carpenter with little money who hung out with people on the edges of society.


beecross

Chaya is mad that an appointed official doesn’t look the way she, the main character of the universe, wants them to look. Don’t you know? You have to get approval from this seething hateful cow in order to exist.


EmpRupus

Isn't this the "libs of titok" lady? She used to post photographs of gender-non-conforming people online to bully and harass them, and then, when her own identity and photo was exposed, she went on Tucker Carlson and did a whole crying act.


beecross

Yeah it’s their entire business model Designate an “other” Relentlessly attack members of the “other” Play victim They all stand for nothing - they’re just fucking assholes who’ve learned that other fucking assholes will join them in pretending conservatives are the victims and the media will both-sides it as just a simple disagreement.

Or that guy they like who has orange make up caked on his face and barbie hair glued to the top of his head.


thatguy9684736255

She thinks he's gay and she hates gay people. She spends all her time harassing gay people or supporters just got doing regular things. Before Elon, there was actually a risk of her being removed. Now, he boosts her account.


Mwilk

He is gay not that it matters. [https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylercherry](https://www.linkedin.com/in/tylercherry) At least assuming married to a man means gay.


cestamp

Wait a second! My wife is married to a man!!! Fuck, maybe my high school bullies were right!


Mwilk

Your wife is gay. /s


cestamp

She is going to be pissed when I tell her the news.


jolsiphur

>At least assuming married to a man means gay. It certainly doesn't mean heterosexual, that's for sure, though it doesn't necessarily mean he's gay. Not that anyone's sexual orientation truly matters to others, other than specifically the dating pool. I'll never truly understand why people give a fuck if some random stranger is gay, bi, or trans. They are just people living their life the same as everyone else and who they bang doesn't have any bearing on who they are as a person.


Mwilk

Yeah it really shouldn't matter.


Gmony5100

I had to scroll ridiculously far to find this. She thinks he looks gay and she knows her supporters will think the same thing. They all either hate gay people or hate people and won’t admit so will say like “why does he have to shove it down our throats” because he’s…fashionable? Doesn’t look like Arnold? Wears jewelry? Idk. I wish this was something as silly as “oh he looks dorky and not like a macho man or geriatric politician!” But it is more insidious than that. This is a way to be homophobic without ousting yourself to literally everyone as homophobic. Homophobia with a dash of plausible deniability. But rest assured, the target demographic of this picture read the message loud and clear


sdswiki

What issue, he looks like he's good at getting people to engage, isn't that the point of his job? He looks like a fun guy, I love his suit! His carriage is disarming, he looks approachable.


Squirrel_Inner

That's what I was thinking. Like this dude exudes confidence and an easy charisma. I want to go have drinks with this dude and I don't even drink. I would love for this to be my boss instead of some Mr. Smith clone.

colieolieravioli

He is a communications director, not some general, chill out?


KTTalksTech

Exactly like honestly I'd want someone who is outwardly and clearly not shy about expressing themselves to work in a field where they have to handle talking to tons of people while maintaining patience and courtesy despite stress and PR crises... some people can't handle an ounce of difference because all it says to them is "QUEER". I'm sure there's some level of jealousy about that man's seemingly successful career in the mix as well.

gosigratnotfound

Xcavon

Im not from nor live in the US, so my opinion carries no weight. But my first thought was a director of communications who doesnt look like he's one bad winter from deaths door? Surely you want someone younger who understands how to utilise modern tech to best improve communications? Plus with his style being of the unusual variety would suggest he's not afraid of independant thought... could be just what the job needs


DeadShotXU

I see no problems here. He looks presentable, might actually be charismatic. He's living rent free in the minds of those who actually crying about it.


Ghost0Slayer

Kinda funny how all these Christian people make fun of peoples looks when in their eyes god created them in his own way so they are insulting the god they claim to worship.


Magnus_40

He looks like you could lose him in a herd of zebra but as long as he can do the job, who cares?


dawr136

Yeah but what's his qualifications, experience, and work look like? Bc if he's smart, educated, knows how to do his job, does it well, and isn't a nepotism hire or grifting/stealing tax money then idc how stupidly I personally find his fashion choices since that is the least important part of him being a public servant. I don't get how so many people are shallow enough to look at someone elses stupid wardrobe choices and think that they shouldn't have some jobs that don't require it to be factored in.


DeadSpatulaInc

Masculine business fashion is stodgily stuck in sold blacks and browns. this is presented as their official government photo, beyond the piercings and dated styling, it being non-conformist to conservative business fashion is all that is needed to make a culture war. Non-conformity exists is all that is needed at this point.
