I was in Atlanta for the 2000 New Years celebration and I randomly bought a red and yellow zoot suit to wear, with matching shoes. I have NEVER IN MY LIFE gotten more attention from women than that night.

Touché. I'll accept it.

Well, there's two ways that could go. You could be 'that we>rdo, mike i think' or 'pharoah mike'.

Build a mythology about why. Tie it into local values. You lost a bet and then liked it?

bro I'm talking about queer-stomping throw Matt Shepard into the fence and kill him, country. the only way that's going is to a bad time. I like your idea, I'm just not trying it here

It is a risk, and i dont know if youve got the privilege to shield you, it's true.

unfortunately no. I'm already on thin ice for being autistic, that's basically 2 degrees removed from a gay but with shiftier eyes.

but I like the pharaoh Mike thing. pray that I get out of here and get to try it 🙏

Oh shit. Yeah. Didn't used to be, but...

Nah, explanations make you the weirdo, embracing the weird makes you a local legend. Build a pyramid around your mailbox. Get a hairless cat. Learn your favored Egyptian (coptic is discouraged as it looks Greek and outlasted the pharonic age).

Generally agree, but refuge in audacity is a harder sell if someone's faltering.

You should start practicing for when you can, 'cause doing liner is hard! Also, you gotta figure out what works on your face. My point is, try.

[–] sad_detective_man@leminal.space 2 points 23 hours ago

good point ☝️

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 13 hours ago

Ah the full Pharoah works best there or in a smallish city. You just become the local Pharoah. Just gotta learn to say stuff like "kꜣn.f ḥm.t" when people ask questions
