You wouldn’t be wrong to think that folks shouldn’t judge people based on their taste. It’s taste—subjective, personal, you can’t really compare it in a way that it wouldn’t be like, just your opinion, man.
But remember, this is the internet. Everything goes here. The collective hive-mind of judgment online is just a part of the internet and we have to accept it.
It’s not all negative though. Sometimes, folks online point fingers at awful taste only to commend the great execution that follows it. And you bet there’s a dedicated community for that niche too.

Volksbiken
If this is an electic bike and it has a large battery inside, it might be more functional than it looks.
Load More Replies...That saddle in particular seems very uncomfortable to me. You are also unlikely to take any luggage with you on such a bike. But this is clearly not a bike you will ride every day.
Load More Replies...As cool as it looks, just imagine how badly you’re gonna break your back trying to ride this. Unless you have REALLY long arms, it’ll soon feel like hell to journey on this rather unique man-powered vehicle. 🤔🤷♀️
There is a good chance that this bike will give you back pain. Hopefully the height of the handlebars can be adjusted.

When it comes to determining what taste is all about, David Hume’s essay titled Of The Standard of Taste is a good guide. Hume’s essay attempts to discuss and determine the aesthetic standards and understanding of what makes things beautiful to us. Or at the very least, aesthetically pleasing to the eyes, heart, and mind.

Load More Replies...Hume points out two elements, the first of which is the subjective. As the word already suggests, it’s all about people’s preferences and sensibilities, very individual. That in and of itself is the first standard, shaped by personal experience, cultural background, emotions, and everything in-between.

Load More Replies...The other side of the argument is the objective element. This is meant to be a common ground with which people can evaluate works of art and aesthetics. It’s a kind of shared human convention for judgment, one that is not individual, but rather unbiased, critical and one that adheres to specific universal criteria.

It’s Convincing For A Second
Subjective taste is something we just have from the get-go, but objective taste demands refinement. Hume believed that, in order for one to acquire an objective taste meant that they need to expose themselves to that which is objectively considered as good. That means reading books, going to museums to experience art, and otherwise training yourself to understand what the “it” factor is in the collective hive-mind.

Now, David Hume is one of many people who have discussed the idea of personal and objective taste. German philosopher Immanuel Kant wrote Critique of Judgment, which deals with pleasure in form and arrangement versus pleasure in the idea of the infinite.
Walter Benjamin is another philosopher and cultural critic who dove into the topic, explaining how tech and mass production affects our experience of art in his The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction.

Full Frontal Of The Skin Suit From 2 Months Ago
Edmund Burke, John Ruskin, Arthur Schopenhauer, Susanne Langer—many have approached the topic of taste. In a sense, they’ve all added to the discussion of what the benchmarks and thresholds for the issue ought to be. But because taste as a concept is complex, a lot still remains to be determined about it. And as time goes by, even more nuances to consider appear.
Ear Earrings
This immediately triggered an ear worm for me. 🎶Do your ears hang low, do they wriggle to and fro 🎶
My grandfather who was in WW2, made a necklace out of german ears like that. Unfortunately it was in the early 1990s and his dementia was far worse than we realized. ......................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................(this is a joke, they were american ears)
And now put ear earrings on the ear earrings and some ear earrings on those ear earrings and then…
A Wooden, Tiered Sink
Wood plus water is just asking for trouble. The shine makes me hope they treated the wood, but did they think of the upkeep to keep that maintained?
It depends on the wood. A varnished or lacquered hardwood should be fine, even hardwood treated with beeswax would probably be ok. Wood has been used for making things like drinking cups, bowls and many other things things that come into prolonged contact with water for millennia, especially boats. A marine ply could be used but it would not look as nice.
Load More Replies...I know of a beautiful teak bathtub built by an east coast boatbuilder. When I saw it, it had been in use for almost 50 years and was in great condition. He built the house too.
I'd be worried of people using regular bathroom cleaners on the sink and ruining whatever it is finished with, causing the wood to be exposed to direct wear and tear.
If it was in ceramic or marble colored like sandstone this would actually be a gorgeous look.

When I turned 18 my buddy decided it was his duty to take me to my first strip club. Not gonna drop the name of the joint because it's the only one I've ever seen with the name it has. It didn't matter what day or time there was always this one dude that was always there. He was a 6'8"ish Asian dude with a samurai type hair style that also dressed in samurai type clothing. He rode a Hayabusa with kanji writing on the side. For some reason this picture reminded me of that dudes epicness. Wherever he is I hope he's still partying hard.

The tattoos are really beautiful and intricate. I think the blue tatts are playing off Alice in Wonderland. Also, I think the one on the left is bigger just based on how far they pulled their waistbands out.
This is the type of art I'd have in my home. Well, my home office because my wife is way too stylish for all sorts of trinkets. But she would enjoy knowing I have them in there
