I think that once your past 40, the whole age gap thing becomes a moot issue, if not outright reversed. If some one is 40 and marrying a 90 year old, it’s probably not the 40 year old who is in danger of being taken advantage of.

My Nan got me once when I was walking into a funeral with my hands in my pockets.
I think in some situations it's just seen as rude, as though you don't care.
Ignore the downvotes people are babies on reddit.

They named themselves ROWAWA¥, money symbolism and all.
Just wait for the new album where they talk really fast (by fish standards) about how they pulled it off and don't feel sorry about it, and maybe something about guns and women.

Anecdotes are about as good as you can hope for when asking people about their experiences with racism.
I’m Mexican and was called a “white homophobic male on a power trip” for enforcing covid protocols.
A lesbian, called a Mexican, a white homophobic male, because she didn’t like rules.
Mentioned in another comment that Oregon has casual racists. Was called, “The Mexican” when I lived their

Do his other three wives know that he got married again?!!
I'm expecting this to become a new TV series, Buzz & Babes.

Okay Buzz, you're good.

Oregon is a trip. Only place I’ve been referred to as, “the Mexican”.
In California it’s typically lawn mowing jokes.

Just be careful with your beats while on TV. If you accidentally say something in Morse code you will suddenly be at the center of a bunch of conspiracy theories

Have you ever been to a casino and see the slots zombies? All hours of the day they will just be glued to those screens and bells. I imagine people with that level of addiction would get the same thrill doing it “live” with someone on the other end. So I’d wager the majority of their subscribers 65 year old spinsters than kids spending parents money

What's the consensus on hooking my thumbs in the corner of my pockets with my fingers dangling out and tapping random beats?

Well I think you're weird for thinking I'm weird for having my hands in my pockets lol. Nothing wrong with putting your hands in storage while they aren't in use.

I’ve never thought this deeply into the idea of hands in pockets and didn’t expect this to be much more than a joke but you’ve made an excellent point. I can absolutely see the act of someone having their hands in their pockets creating a sort of subconscious bias of distrust in others.

She didn't loose a thing, the family still has the business. You people need to actually read and comprehend things better. She was probably never even meant to have any of the money if they've been grooming her for monkhood all this time.
"Jain families are sometimes said to encourage their children to enter the monkhood to enhance their relatives' social standing."

Putting them in my pant pockets feels weird when it isn’t cold. But I like resting them in my coat pockets even when I’m indoors, even when it isn’t that cold. There’s a difference to it somewhere!
