    Jesus these comments scream basement dweller. You don’t have to like what someone does with their own body to accept it. It doesn’t hurt you so don’t worry about it. God forbid people have some self expression

      They do indeed forbid it.

      10 "If you go to battle against your enemies, and the LORD your God delivers them into your control, you may take some prisoners captive. 11 If you see among the prisoners a beautiful woman and you desire her, then you may take her as your wife. 12 Bring her to your house, but shave her head and trim her nails

      Deuteronomy 21

      Oh man, religions are batshit crazy.

        if the LORD your God delivers them into your control

        AKA feel free to murder someone then fuck their wife (assuming you’re Jewish, of course)

      Eh, not so sure. Beauty standards propagate, and pressure to conform to those standards is real.
      That’s just how fashion works. In this case fashion requires disabling a functional part of your body. It’s at least a bit icky.

        It’s not though. It’s got advantages, but typing isn’t one of them. I can open stuff peel based way better etc.

          I really only need like 2 or 3 mm of extra nail on one thumb to open oranges and grapefruits perfectly fine. Anything longer than that and it becomes unwieldy and unhygienic.

            On the contrary, since growing my nails out my nails have been way more clean. There is an awkward period between no nails and long nails where stuff gets caught underneath, but once you grow them out (only two weeks or so), they’re perfectly clean because there’s just more space underneath and nowhere for gunk to get caught as the angle is wider.

            my nails, for reference (sorry my power is out

      I accept that people sometimes keep their nails long. That acceptance comes with a caveat that I will not be eating anything handled by hands with long nails.
