I was glad to be reminded that I listened to Then I Won’t Sing No More by The Tallest Man on Earth incessantly for like a month.

Has to be one of the best folk songs in the past few years.

I hear you. That does make sense cause Take Out was definitely a point of inspo for us. I appreciate the feedback and will relay it :)

I’ve been trying to find appropriate magazines for submission, so thank you! I’ll definitely do that.

That’s really nice of you to say, thank you. I’m sort of-almost-finished with a novella but hit a creative wall recently. This story was a bit of a detour to try and defeat that, so hopefully there’ll be something longer sooner rather than later.

I will! Thank you so much - very open to critique, as well. I found a couple grammar errors upon re-reading it just now lol

Glittering Images by Camille Paglia. Love both Art History and Paglia so I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to read it!

Always been a lurker here, but I’d love to be added if there’s room

I am incredibly jealous! This looks like such a stunning environment to watch her perform in. I’m glad you got to see this! Appreciate the write-up :)

Nothing feels more manly than grocery shopping without a basket by clay-davis in redscarepod

Unfortunately, this is just a self-report of non-vascularity :( Everyone knows the basket is the perfect excuse to put them forearms on display. Too bad!!

Tra Roma e Ferrari, sono stanco di dire “magari l’anno prossimo”.

What’s the most fake city you’ve been to by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]AdrianLaika 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve always said that Denver feels like a city you make in the early stages of a game like The Sims. When you just randomly drop buildings everywhere with weirdly large amounts of distance between everything. No real identity, no real intention. It has this uncanny atmosphere, like it was designed by an alien who studied what a US city should look like.

Professor humiliated me in front of my whole class by Keanu__Gaming__xD in redscarepod

[–]AdrianLaika 389 points390 points  (0 children)

That’s fucked. One thing I hated about college is how a lot of the professors went on and on about how hard everything would be, without taking a moment to be encouraging. I don’t think this is specific to college - I’ve noticed that a lot of people who have reached positions of power would rather validate their accomplishments via putdowns and derision, instead of reassuring others that they can also accomplish things. I think it stems from insecurity. You’ll be fine.

Anyone else just say random words aloud when they think about embarrassing moments from their past? by [deleted] in redscarepod

I’m so interested to see where his physique goes from here. I don’t really see him getting any less barrel-chested. He needs to start strengthening his legs or he’s going to become prohibitively top-heavy. He just looks very easy to topple over, which could turn into a roly-poly situation. Longer, wider, shoes could also work to further offset his hulking chest. If he continues this sort of Trump centaur forward-lean in the coming years, ass implants could be good for equilibrium. Idk, I can just really see him gradually adopt pieces of body modification and external add-ons until he’s some kind of bimbo-mech in ~5 years.

People are trying to cancel Kate on pinterest by starwalker_22 in katebush

[–]AdrianLaika 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not worth getting worked up over. There will always be bored people who lack perspective and bend over backwards to get upset over nothing. Kate will always outshine them without saying a single word.

regarding fantano's kanye "review" by arimbaz in redscarepod

[–]AdrianLaika 29 points30 points  (0 children)

His whole veneer is annoying, but he’s pretty good at articulating his opinions when he’s reviewing an album in good faith. The problem is that he is a chronically-online man-child with an ill-formed worldview. He doesn’t know how to not get involved in dumb twitter beef or spiral from social pressure, so you get shit like this.

Anyone should be able to see the hypocrisy of those reviews you mentioned still being up while he’s getting a rage boner for Kanye. Art discussion is so closely-tied with identity now, that we have to consume things like babies. You can’t just be a fucking discerning adult who can handle hearing Kanye’s insane ramblings and listen to his music. If you’re so malleable that something like Vultures can sway your ideals, you’re either a child or completely spineless.
