That’s obviously from the winter fashion line. The summer line has much shorter shorts.

Mad Max was set in 2021 so it's now socially acceptable to dress like this in Australia I think. Mask looks to give good coverage and spiky bits should help with social distancing.

False, unfortunately. 

Just Australia? Disappointing. Though it's minus degrees outside so maybe it's a blessing.

The boots are all wrong too. In such a dusty environment, the toes definitely need more air.

This should be the required uniform for all those who made it through 2020. I especially like the tasteful male dominatrix outfit and those chrome spikes really compliment his blackened eye holes.

Those boots are much better! I can almost hear the chorus of crying cowboys singing the praises of Morphy’s photoshop skills.

The tasteful dominatrix attire is also quite slimming. The vertical line across the navel is a particularly nice touch. It really accentuates the definition in those one-pack abs.

@Morphy Those boots are a major improvement There's no denying the whole ensemble is both tasteful and functional. For Australia I'd recommend adding a small metal plate covering the solar plexus and a groin guard. Helpful when fighting over toilet paper in the supermarkets.

It’s business casual my man.  ;)

You guys just gave me what might just be the greatest thread idea I’ve ever had. And I’ve had a lot of sh!tty ideas so while that bar is exceedingly low, I really like this “particular” idea. I will post it when I get a sec.

In some countries apparently the fashion is to extend the mask to cover the whole body. Take your pick I guess, in todays multi-ethnic societies they're all reasonable fashion statements for 2021.

I just realized I forgot to put my trash out. Damnit.

WTF. lol. Very interesting

mad max was really set in 2021 ?

wow - that makes me feel older than I already feel. :-(

Still, if covid had been a lot nastier and killed a much higher percentage of people - it could well have come to pass.
That is a genuinely scary thought !

Covid is currently getting worse than it was before. At least over here. We have the more contagious mutation now. (Thanks UK,  ;D). One mutation that makes it significantly more deadly is all it would take..

We are one mutation away from something the world hasn't seen in a long time. We are seeing more patients right now than we saw during July and the more contagious strain has not even become really prevalent down here as far as I know. .  So the disease is just as deadly but the R0 has increased

The thing I worry the most about is potential brain damage from this disease. Anyways, there's your cheery thought for the day.  ;D You all are most welcome!

Right now apparently the vaccine still works against it. But it's a virus and viruses can mutate very quickly as we have seen.  If there was another mutation which increased its pathogenicity anywhere near the amount of the previous mutation changed its R0 this could be a long winter/spring.

I'm just waiting for war, economic collapse and famine and some type of major attack on the US. I think they are coming.  Such an optimist I know. But hey people stormed the Capitol building, is it really that difficult to believe at this point. Shrug  ::)

But the economic backlash of corruption losing it's funding will create chaos even here. I wish my sons were a bit older and able to take care of themselves.

Right. I feel the same way about my daughter but plan on getting her a big trained dog. Until she's old enough to use a pistol.
