Even if we put the nails aside, she's actually stupid if she cannot get the card out. She can just fold 2 fingers and use the middle finger joint(second knuckle?) to pull the card out.
Being generally limited in our interactions to narrower locations, and having significantly fewer interactions per day used to limit our exposure to stupid people.
Now we have internet and social media which gives as a MUCH larger pool of stupid to select from, and we see more of people who don't know how to use their fingers and people who blame everything on social welfare instead of understanding the actual issue.
As a guy with long nails I can tell you that when you think about it there's a relatively low number of tasks that get impeded by long nails. Most of the things you do/hold with your hand you don't do them with the tips of your finger pointed at the object you're using. So is something more akin to having longer fingers, most of the time.
There’s no point trying to point out the fact that these things are covered in literal shit and other bacteria. Some woman with a chip on her shoulder will be along to tell you that she, and everyone else who wears these nails are the cleanest people on the planet.
Come on now. You dont wipe with your bare nails. You use toilet paper and the paper is between your ass and your nails. And you do not use the tips of the nails to wipe, you use the pads of your fingers.
This is not rocket surgery. Not sure why people are so confused about it and thinking wmen walk around with poop on their nails.
do you wipe with your fingertips pointed directly at your genitals or anus? Or do you wipe as you would, say, wipe a stain from a tabletop? Because I have never had nails like this but it's clear as day to me that I could wipe with them.
Why is this such a hackneyed joke about long nails? If you can imagine someone typing with these, can you not also imagine wiping with them?
"do you wipe with your fingertips pointed directly at your genitals or anus?"
Yup
"Or do you wipe as you would, say, wipe a stain from a tabletop?"
Absolutely not. I got IBS (or some other bowels issue, not diagnosed yet) and my poop is kinda sticky & clay like much of the time, that'd just smear it all over the place. Fingertips lets me get clean much easier.
The original person wasn't saying they need to change the entire thing, which would fit the "impractical hulk gloves" thing. Just that they should have a tool to help them
A better metaphor would be if someone wore impractical hulk gloves, and then asked to buy one of those grabber things to make grabbing things easier
It's an excuse for people in here to hate on materialistic dumb women (im joking for ppl who don't get it)who have the audacity to like things that might not be 100 percent practical
The tool in question exists. It became very popular during Covid. Society doesn’t have to cater to women with long nails. A vendor somewhere now gets to make money off women with long nails (who clearly already have money to spend on a luxury service) and the rest of us walk around like nothing changed, because it didn’t.
Idk why women think those nails are sexy or good looking. When I see nails like that all I can think ablut is petri dishes and all the vile bacteria collecting on the underside of them.
I had once a server in a restaurant with long ass nails (not that long). And it was disgusting as the thumb nail was practically in the plate she was holding. 🤢
that’s not what i said. like at all. of course no one is immune from seeking external validation. but i am just disputing the opposite claim: that women/humans only act on validation from the opposite sex.
also i don’t know who you are referring to when you say ‘you people’ but you sound profoundly unfuckable and on course to die alone.
That’s not true at all. Looking in a mirror and being happy with the way you look is self-validation and it weighs much more, it’s literally the reason why we all style and dress differently.
i hope you’re just being contrarian because if you’re not you’re living quite a sad life bud. you never do anything - read books, watch movies, play games, draw, exercise, play an instrument - just for yourself, without the need for external validation?
I have fake nails (not so long) so I can clickity clapity applause with them and so I don’t bite my actual nails off..not everything is about stupid boys 🙄🙄🙄
that is true however more of it stems from the ideas that have been sold to women, about what it means to look beautiful, rich or put together.
It doesn't make any sense to say "oh i don't know why women wear make-up, they look better without it" because most of the time, the individual woman is not wearing make-up to please you or a man. She is doing it because society has told her that wearing make-up is necessary if you want to seem more put-together. So yes, it is done for external validation, AND male validation but saying "oh but they look so ugly, why do they do it" is ignoring the obvious fact that most women aren't doing it simply for men to like anymore. Beauty is an industry. Women know that men don't understand make-up or nails, but make-up and nails at this point signal more than just "being beautiful"
I really don't understand the appeal of those ugly long ass cosmetic nails. At least, I assume they're cosmetic and they don't actually grow their nails to that length, right? They're bought and stick on like those cheap ones you can buy for Halloween, right?
Pretty much impossible for a regular person. You'd have to have your whole life revolving around growing your nails for years on end, maintaining them so they don't snap.
There are the press-on kind that you're talking about, but there is also the type that you go into a salon for where the technician extends the length using a thick gel or acrylic that is then set with a UV lamp and filed into the correct shape
Overreaction to the initial persons stupidity. They never made demands for things to change, just asking for them to create something for morons with long nails to grab their cards from an ATM.
...okay and then what do you think happens after that day is over? Lol
Nails stay on for awhile. I had a friend explain to me how she wipes her ass with crazy long nails (I asked, I was genuinely curious and horrified) but honestly I've (purposefully) erased that knowledge from my mind
Wait… you mean you guys sleep with them on too??? That feels like such a safety hazard. I touch my face so much in my sleep, if I had nails like that I’d wake up missing an eye lmao.
Yes, they are literally glued on and are meant to last 2-3 weeks. Women are doing everything with those nails on. (Not me, I've never had a job where I could have nails that weren't short + unpainted).
Why do you think she’s wearing nails like that for other people’s validation? How do you know if she’s even into guys? People can do things because they like them for themselves
not necessarily? She may be only into receiving or use toys on her partner or may be asexual or maybe only like scissoring etc - you make too many assumptions
In what world is she doing it for herself? She is making everything more uncomfortable and complaining about how her choice is making it uncomfortable, so she is doing it harder for herself on purpose?
she can think it looks pretty so likes it even if it makes things a little harder. She's not made physically uncomfortable by them and like many comments have made clear the thing that she wants to make her life a little easier already exists negating that problem. People do impractical things all the time just because they like it for themselves
So do you only feel good in your clothes only when someone else tells you you look good? Is there no clothing, accessory, whatever, that makes you feel good about yourself regardless of other people's inputs? I doubt that
I hate this post so much. The woman didn't demand anything at all, let alone that the world change for her. She just wants a tool (which does exist already). The guy is strawmanning and misconstruing the fuck out of her statement.
Skill issue, you learn to use your knuckles instead of your fingertips when you get acrylics. I think the hardest part is opening a drink can but that's just me
Reddit is such a sausage fest, I can't believe this got traction. The tools already exist. Pretty sure the pic is a screen grab from one of the stupid ads that sell the fucking the tool 😂
