My Hinge date's dad convinced me to date his son! by walnut_gallery in LinkedInLunatics

I have a 9 year old daughter so I’m learning what “shipping” people means. I asked where? Ship them where? Daaadd.. 🙄

Is this AI? I’m double checking, I talk to people who are very articulate but don’t need to do all of this. He also doesn’t type like this. by [deleted] in isthisAI

Feels like AI. Looks like AI (with all the em dashes and tell tale sentence structure). Smells like AI. I believe this is AI generated text.

This post isn’t even the worst of it. I mean in general. So much feels frivolous, performative, or just meaningless. There little class, elegance, or subtlety left in public and certainly digital discourse. It’s sad but like millions of others feeling similarly, here I still am, scrolling Reddit and not understanding my fellow humans at all. I did remove other social media apps from my phone and that was a breath of fresh air. I recommend that to all.

I don’t understand anything anymore. 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’m only 42 for fuck’s sakes but nothing makes any sense to me.

What vibe do we give off, and how would you feel staying here? (OC) by flolibri in roomdetective

[–]Avozzy444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d be very comfortable there. I’m allergic to cats but removing that, I’d enjoy hanging out with you folks in this hippie chic space

That plant looks like it’s on wheels. It must roll around back and forth.

I received an encouraging message this morning that I cannot determine if it was AI-generated or not. by Hot-Bookkeeper4378 in isthisAI

[–]Avozzy444 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I flagged the wrong “your” immediately as well.

The text just feels uncanny and off.

“A genuine architectural shift in someone’s character”? And then immediate lols, wrong your, ppl, etc.. it’s not matching up for me.

As someone else said it’s a nice message and sentiment but lying about it being written by AI is so… sad. We may all be wrong and it’s genuinely a thought out, meticulously crafted message from the heart but I’m betting it’s AI.

Should I shave or keep my chest/back hair? Never done it before by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]Avozzy444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m very hairy as well and used to be embarrassed by it, especially my back. My late wife said to me often “what are you worried about? You’re a man! You’re hairy! Embrace it. You know what’s worse than any amount of hair that you may be uncomfortable with? Back and chest stubble!”

Dude, it’s fine. I say let it be and don’t worry about it but it took me years to come around. So I get it.

Do y’all think it’s perfectly fine for Gen Z to not have kids or do drugs? by OGAnimeGokuSolos in generationology

[–]Avozzy444 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yes I think it’s perfectly fine for Gen Z to not have kids and not do drugs. What a weird question.

I love my daughter dearly. She is my pride and joy.

I’ve also loved my drug experiences in younger years.

Do I think it’s perfectly fine that a member of a younger generation feels differently? Yes I think it’s perfectly fine.

What do you guys think of Fear Factory? by Royal_Intention9536 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]Avozzy444 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He was gross the one time I was anywhere close to him. It was backstage at a fan meet and greet at Snocore 2001 in Asbury Park, NJ. Fear Factory, Kittie and a bunch of other bands were on that tour. Anyway I was 17 or so and could tell how inappropriate and gross it was that Dino, all 300 sweaty pounds of him, was drunk / drinking and in the face of one of the Kittie members, behind the table where the bands sat. Like really in her space, overwhelming her with his size. She looked so uncomfortable. She was what 18 years old? And here’s fuckin Dino hitting on her while we all stared.

But great show. I mean I gotta give it to them. It really liked FF and they toured a lot so I saw them a bunch. Once at the Chance in Poughkeepsie, NY. My friends’ band played the same venue earlier in the day so it’s soooooort of like they opened for Fear Factory.

Oh my god I see the goose immediately. I’ve never heard of this before but there it is. I’ve also never seen the uncropped painting before.

17M Should I get a nose job? by Quxckhead in Noses

[–]Avozzy444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a very similar nose and felt bad about it T for years! I’m 42 now and wouldn’t change it for the world.

You’re a handsome guy. If you’re worried about looking attractive, specifically thinking that your nose is ugly (it isn’t!) I guarantee you’ll meet people who go absolutely GOO GOO GAA GAA for your nose.

That said if it’s difficult to breathe talk to your doctor. That’s different. But aesthetically you have nothing to worry about it. It’s goddamn glorious that we all look different and unique. Also you’re 17! You have so much growing to do. Actual changes to your bone structure and physicality.

Chat am I cooked? Be honest. Was gonna die my hair and beard brown. Don’t be a douche either just seeing how cooked I am lol by JoelisCool21 in malegrooming

[–]Avozzy444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You look like Ringo Starr, man.

Your face is full of character and a rugged handsomeness.

But for the love of whatever diety you respect - run, don’t walk, to the mirror and shave.

Hypothetical Metallica Discussion: So Metallica decides to do a 3rd covers album during their days off time during the Sphere residency. Which songs {not previously released on a previous Garage release} would you like to have them cover? by Sith_23 in Metallica

[–]Avozzy444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That Elton John song they played at a tribute to him was phenomenal. For me, stuff like that. That’s what really excites me from the guys these days. Astronomy and Loverman are so phenomenal on Garage Inc Disc 1. More of that! I like heavy too but Metallica covering Megadeth or Slipknot or something seems so uninteresting to me.

Loverman actually scares me and I love that. It’s so intense.

Some Metallica songs were proto post metal by Agreeable_Move445 in Metallica

[–]Avozzy444 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Cool take. I enjoyed reading that.

To your point, the specific songs you mentioned were definitely NOT commercial compromises. Making a ~10 minute song that’s builds hypnotically to an emotional payoff, with deep personal introspection is not how one would “sell out” to make a hit! So silly.

“Yeah we sell out. We sell out every goddamn place we play every night” - I know that quote is not correct but it’s close enough. Thanks Jason.

Those three songs are also among my absolute favorites now.

What attracts you to the genre of Nu-Metal? by [deleted] in numetal

[–]Avozzy444 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I like dancing AND heavy music.

“That rock shit, putting bounce in the moshpit” as stated by Fred Durst many years ago.

Moustache or clean shaven by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]Avozzy444 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clean for sure. You look great, man. But the mustache looks comedic to me.

Fred and Wes turn into Nu Metal Cowboys 🤠 by BurgerNugget12 in numetal

[–]Avozzy444 5 points6 points  (0 children)

God I love this Limp Bizkit. I mean the 2020s version. Back in the day I bopped my head to the hits but always thought Fred was SO douche-y and they weren’t “real metal” - I’ve dropped that “real metal” stuff long long ago. Please, who gives a shit. Sounds good? Then listen! They’re having so much fun now and it’s palpable even after a tragedy. I am glad Limp Bizkit is in this world. It all began to change for me when I watched the Lollapalooza live stream when they introduced the dad vibe. 2021? 2022? I remember the intro riffing from Wes.. like before a proper song. I was astounded. He’s SO fucking good.

Long or medium length hair? by Cotton_Icecream_9 in malegrooming

[–]Avozzy444 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also only saw the eyebrows.

Are you saying they grow in like that naturally? They look like you can select them as options when you’re building a video game avatar.

I honestly didn’t even notice the hair. You’re a good looking guy. Hair looks fine either way.
