as an otherwise-beautiful-hair-haver, Lenin's approach once again proves, as an immortal science, sound and correct. life becomes much simpler (and showers much shorter). However:

NOTE: removing your hair does NOT prevent assumptions of being a rightwinger if you're flashbang

this is a very techbro line of thinking... I only have 1 type of shirt to save the cognitive load of choosing what to wear so I can dedicate it to being 0.002% more productive coding

made-it-the-fuck-up

you just straight made that up to be critical of something. How is making my own life easier for me having anything to do with "cognitive load for coding better"?

I don't want to sit there in the shower combing hair out and then cleaning it out of the drain, and having it take forever to dry. I don't want to have to buy specific (and different kinds!) of products that are expensive (and heavily unregulated) to muss about with it and keep it soft~ and shiny~. I don't want to have hair in my face when I'm washing dishes and have to fuckin try to use my shoulder to get it out of the way. It is cooler when it is hot or exercising and going out in the brisk weather feels much nicer. I don't have to take extra trips and dole out money I don't have nor want to spend on getting it "styled" and cleaned up. There are a million reasons. You do not know my "line of thinking" here at all. Worry about your own.

I said it makes my life simpler (not 'more efficient for labor' or whatever you're saying). Worry about your own life, and don't make up things up to invent caricature because you want to be critical. It's weird shit.

I didn't make up anything there was tonnes of this type of shit going around at the height of the techbro hustle culture era

The scientific reason why Barack Obama and Mark Zuckerberg wear the same outfit every day

"don't have hair so you won't be distracted by it" is 100% a completely believable thing that could have come out from that culture.

I don't care what you do with your hair. You in a joking manner called it an objectively scientifically correct thing to do and I also in a joking manner called out how similar that sounds to techbro pseudoscience. You can put the knife down now.
