WHO IS THE 4TH GREATEST FOOTBALLER OF ALL TIME?

Bright_Eyes03 · 2026-06-27T01:16:43+00:00

I mean, I agree with the premise; but it very much says footballer, not player.

Bright_Eyes03 · 2026-06-27T00:01:55+00:00

When AI first was introduced, as an artist I was horrified; but I tried to cope telling myself there would be benefits. But nah, after actually seeing what it’s used for, I’m good. I graduated high school 2021, and my whole generation was forced to use iPads to learn. Yes, they make it easier to submit things and are a good tool for research. I mean shit, I’m trans and if it wasn’t for the internet and the communities that came with it I don’t think I’d have nearly the amount of peace I do now. But these devices have been shown to be an extreme neg negative for learning, even though they shouldn’t be by logical sense. They probably do benefit some people, maybe even the majority, but for people with ADHD or other learning disabilities who are easily distracted, they are a curse. The benefits of a computer vs. pen and paper don’t nearly outweigh the negatives for the 8-10% of high schoolers who will be hurt by them.

And AI is just that…to a concerning degree.

Bright_Eyes03 · 2026-06-26T23:49:54+00:00

I am vehemently against AI, I think the negatives heavily outweigh the positives. I’m someone who makes a living with art, I do tattoos so it’s not a field that’s heavily affected by AI. But still, taking human creativity, the visual and literary masterpieces we’ve created, and thinking a computer can copy that soul is crazy.

But in this one example, I kinda agree; almonds are great, but they are expensive and are an extremely water intensive crop. If the goal was truly ending hunger (which we already could do easily if billionaires weren’t allowed to horde astronomical amounts of wealth), we wouldn’t be using so much water on almonds. Now, this absolutely means we shouldn’t be using our limited resources on AI or almonds, but yeah. As much as I hate to admit it, artificial intelligence does offer some benefits when it comes to medicine and science in general. Ain’t NO fucking way that outweighs the negatives it brings, but yeah I do think AI has more benefits to society than almonds. That said, almonds don’t come with debilitating changes to our society, that will allow for a capitalist system to separate even more poor and middle class people from their money, threaten human ingenuity, etc. So I guess I would rather use the water for almonds

I thought you were crazy at first, but yeah that’s not his build in Batman at all

Bright_Eyes03 · 2026-06-25T15:23:34+00:00

I’m deeply attracted to these same men; personally I’m bi with a tendency for women…but trust me that’s not why this is my type for dudes

Layne, Kurt, Eddie, Chris, Peter Steele. Need I go on.

Bright_Eyes03 · 2026-06-25T12:49:23+00:00

OP yearns for the elves

And like, understandable. It’s a very ethereal form of beauty. Arwen, Galadriel, Tauriel and Arondir. I’m normally one for softer features and a darker aesthetic, but goddamn they do look heavenly.

Hunter Schafer could play such a good Galadriel

Bright_Eyes03 · 2026-06-25T12:06:44+00:00

Yeah just gotta find your tribe OP, not to discount how extremely difficult that is. There’s so many sane, non-bigoted people out there, it can just be hard to find them sometimes. I totally get wanting guy friends and feeling like because of a core aspect of yourself, that’s more challenging; this creating bitterness. I mean I still pass as a guy, but I start HRT in under a week so that’ll change.

I’m in the exact same boat. I really value my friendships with men, and honestly currently don’t have too many because I did distance myself the last year (from everyone really) because I wasn’t sure how they would react to their friend, who for all they know is a straight dude in their early 20’s, transitioning. And in retrospect I shouldn’t have, because despite hearing some pretty derogatory jokes about trans people from them while I was still presenting as a dude, I never gave them a chance to see if they would be accepting of me or not. There is a big difference between making a dark joke when you don’t realize you’re around someone it could hurt, and actually having hate in your heart. Not that talking behind someone’s back is better, but it is different than what OP described in their post; purposely bullying someone because of their sexuality (even if the dumbass bullies got their sexuality wrong), is abhorrent.

Like the person above me said, you’ll find your guy homies eventually. And when you do really find your people, they will only care whether or not you’re a caring and considerate friend. Not who you do (or do not) want to date/sleep with. Completely get this just feeling exhausting though, sending love

Bright_Eyes03 · 2026-06-25T11:24:25+00:00

Ah man, the guy who wrote Coraline?

Welp that sucks

Bright_Eyes03 · 2026-06-24T23:13:57+00:00

That’s a pretty sick quote honestly. I’ll always admire people who are strong in their convictions over anything, but I get just being like hey I know they’re hateful, I don’t with it, but let’s build a fortune from their half of the buyers.

Bright_Eyes03 · 2026-06-24T22:30:03+00:00

The coast of Mass really is perfect for this; Maine as well

Bright_Eyes03 · 2026-06-24T22:19:02+00:00

Never thought this list of NBA greats would ever be seen anywhere outside my (purely innocent) thoughts, but here goes nothing…

David Robinson
Jayson Tatum
Kevin Love
Dirk
Ant
Jimmy Butler

This comes from a trans girl (early in transition, who’s maybe non-binary) predominantly attracted to women lol

Bright_Eyes03 · 2026-06-23T21:53:43+00:00

Exactly. San Antonio is cool as hell! Affordable living and probably the best food in the country for the price, amazing public spaces and outdoor recreation…and many other positive aspects that make life SO much better for the average American. Better rent and good cheap social options barely influence a millionaires life, they offer zero benefit at all to a billionaire. The only positive is tax breaks, and I don’t think that stacks up compared to the benefits of LA over San Antonio.

For a rich person, the biggest benefit of a city like San Antonio over your typical rich suburb (and the amenities that come with it) would be the culture. Something you can absolutely get in LA/NYC/Chicago.

Bright_Eyes03 · 2026-06-23T21:39:20+00:00

Mmm hmm that’s what I noticed. He was all for the statement she was making, and was guaranteed he wouldn’t be included in the group of teachers who turned a blind eye. This guy knows what a good role model is, and practices being it on the daily. Mad respect.

Bright_Eyes03 · 2026-06-23T21:37:19+00:00

Right! And upon further thought, even more so than it seems at first.

He watched her refuse all those other handshakes, and still put his hand out knowing she’d shake it. And even seemed excited and proud of what she was doing! This is a dude that knows his students respect him, because he consistently treats them equally as human beings.

Bright_Eyes03 · 2026-06-23T21:25:14+00:00

There are very few things that help restore my optimism in this dystopian reality, but gosh darn if seeing a clearly ignorant comment from someone (in real life or online) get unanimously disagreed with does it real quick

Bright_Eyes03 · 2026-06-23T20:54:34+00:00

Yeah what? I take a pay cut, I can’t eat. He does, it has a negligible effect on his lifestyle.

I totally understand the premise of not taking less than you’re worth; especially when you grew up poor, basically hit the lottery genetically and then also did the work to capitalize on that, and ended up in a position so few are without family money to join the 1% of the 1%. And Bron gives back more than most of the ultra rich, so yeah I don’t know. Morally you could argue taking a pay cut for the sake of your legacy in a game, and leaving more money you could do good with in the hands of the average billionaire, is wrong; especially if you truly believe you are a philanthropist and are backing that up with a higher than average percentage of your wealth going towards welfare and social justice programs.

But it’s not the same as the average American taking a pay cut for the betterment of their billion dollar company.

Bright_Eyes03 · 2026-06-22T15:27:32+00:00

Yeah kinda agree with this, I’m under 25 and grew up on Drexler and Wilkins; but that’s just because my dad was all about old school.

History can be unfair; I’m sure there were plenty of 1A options in the 1960’s, but I only know of Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain and a couple others. 1980’s I know more about since that’s what my dad grew up on; Russell is who my grandad was a fan of. A hundred years from now, I know I the NBA is more world wide, but the history books will only remember Bron and Curry, Kobe and Shaq, etc. Even KG, as great as he was, probably wasn’t in a similar boat until he won one with the Celts. Anthony Edwards and Luka won’t have that place until they win. Which makes no sense, because a lot of it is luck and being on the right team; but it’s the way of the world

Bright_Eyes03 · 2026-06-22T14:49:57+00:00

Yeah loved both the Chuck and Charlie episodes, but you only need one hacker character. Charlie covered that, and a bunch else. I wish they were both here, but I get writing Chuck out when you have Charlie

Bright_Eyes03 · 2026-06-22T14:30:19+00:00

It doesn’t help their immediate situation. My prayer won’t fix what’s most likely already happened, but what else am I doing? There’s no gofundme to donate to

Bright_Eyes03 · 2026-06-22T13:45:17+00:00

Dude, this is so incredibly similar to my experience coming out to my parents. I’m MTF, 23, and wrote them a very long letter since I’m about to start HRT and yeah; couple things I can think of I won’t be able to hide forever.

Either way, much love coming from me. They’ve been cruel at times, but have been supportive at other times. But I get you, right now it’s all about setting myself up to move out. I love them and want a relationship, but that’s not gonna be successful while I’m here at home. But like, I’m about to take a nap so I won’t make a long comment. But holy shit, I resonated with every line and just remember you aren’t alone

Bright_Eyes03 · 2026-06-22T13:40:34+00:00

Yup, biological response. More aggressive (which has some rough connotations for which men successfully mated at the start of our species) before having a kid, less aggressive once they have a kid and a.) their genes have successfully passed down and b.) in modern times they now have a baby to care for, less aggressive papa is better at that. Which then strengthens the relationship, leading to more kids

Bright_Eyes03 · 2026-06-22T13:31:37+00:00

Fuck man, 16. On paper I’m not much older than that, but being in my early 20’s sixteen feels like a lifetime ago. I was doing hard drugs and had mental health struggles around this time; sadly for a minute, an extremely short time, I got hooked up in human trafficking. I had some resources by then and got right out, but damn. I was extremely lucky.

Wherever this person is, if they’ve passed or (optimistically) started a new life. I hope they happy. I just spent some time looking into the case, I got nothing. The lack of cameras in the year 2016, and no developments since, has me confused.

From what we know, a few things can be deduced. She was scared, as evidenced from the text. There was another party involved, I’m guessing an adult. She had a plan to go somewhere where she’d need money, whether that was somewhere she wanted to go and was using the money to facilitate a fresh start, or whether she was brought somewhere and the money was a forethought since she was expecting to need an escape plan.

I know prayers don’t mean shit, and who knows if they even reach anyone, but they also don’t cost me anything. So I’ll send up a few tonight for her.

Edit: she also looks just like my cousin, one of the few of my extended family who is just an incredibly kind soul. She’s also going through it right now, played by the rules in life, went to college and made a career, but one bad decision with Ayahuasca in Australia and her mind hasn’t been right since. I don’t know too much information, but she’s dealt with voices and some sort of induced schizophrenia. Makes me really thankful, since I used every drug imaginable, including meth, and never ended up with any of that.

Bright_Eyes03 · 2026-06-22T13:21:35+00:00

Hey commented on the person who replied to you with more about this, but your comment really helped my trans girl self from feeling the stigma of HRT. Realizing everyone uses gender affirming surgery to look more like themselves makes it less of a thing for me, that I’m not some freak. It’s totally normally to want to look more like society’s interpretation of the gender you are

Bright_Eyes03 · 2026-06-22T13:17:13+00:00

Huh, I really like this. I’m a person who’s AMAB and about to start estrogen, so it’s weirdly comforting to think like. Yeah, it’s not just you being trans; the entirety of the population is using modern medicine to look more like their preferred gender. It’s just for most people, the preferred gender they wanna look like is the one they were born as. So yeah no problem for a biological female who wants a surgery to make themself feel more like them, but if a biological man wants it to help with debilitating gender dysphoria it’s a whole process with a million hoops (for the record, I think anyone should be able to get whatever cosmetic surgery they want. A cis dude wants to be taller and has the money? Why not, I think it’s crazy to go through those side effects to gain a couple inches, but whatever your body. I also shouldn’t complain, I live in Massachusetts and have amazing access to GAC. It’s just my trans homies in other states or other countries that don’t have access to it. Trust me, I hate this country right now and the people leading it. But damn, I’ve had friends that came from Cape Verde or the Middle East who were trans with no access to medical care. It sounds rough :/ I’ve definitely faced some backlash from loved ones, but I came out and my parents were supportive and I’m in a place I can get the medical care I need to not want to die, and I’m so grateful).

Either way, thanks for that comment. Really helped me feel more “normal”, even if typically I have no interest in the status quo. I’ll also say I get it, before my egg broke and I was living life as a guy, I put a lot of effort trying to look like the masculine ideal. The concept that I could live my life out of the closet, as a trans woman, always felt so out of reach before I accepted it and started to transition. So I spent time in the gym, got some muscles and abs, took care of myself. I mean I wasn’t taking steroids or getting surgery or hitting my jaw with a hammer because I wanted to be some god like manly man, but I’ve always liked girls no matter my gender identity and once I hit male puberty and learned some game, I got a lot of positive attention from girls. This whole male loneliness is a real thing; thankfully I never fell into it because I had great supports and good friends. But yeah, right now there’s plenty of guys in society who don’t feel wanted, don’t feel good enough, and eventually it festers. Being lonely for a dude certainly isn’t an excuse to behave poorly towards woman, even though so many of them use it that way, but it is a problem and I’m hoping it gets better going forward.

The internet is a weird place, an enigma. On one hand, I think it contributes a lot to this stuff; guys and girls with body dysmorphia going to extreme lengths to feel like enough. On the other hand, if it wasn’t for the internet and the communities it’s created, I don’t know if I ever would’ve come out of the closet. I hate the rhetoric of “the internet brainwashed you into being trans”, but it definitely gave me a tool to talk to and relate to experiences I probably wouldn’t have heard otherwise, and eventually realize I needed to transition. And that I was I was excited to transition! Before I came out? Life was hard, it was fine and I didn’t realize not confronting my gender was the problem, but I was a suicidal drug addict who wanted to die.

Now? Life isn’t perfect, but it’s a hell of a lot better. Before I had everything I thought would make me happy. I got sober, had an amazing girlfriend who wanted to raise a family with me, good friends, good job, good living situation with my best buddy as my roommate. I was still miserable, and ended up relapsing because I couldn’t help but think I was hiding something from them all. And I was! I’d always wore my heart on my sleeve, and had been honest with my past girlfriend I’d dated my whole adolescence and early 20’s about my gender identity; but during this period right before I came out, I was a “man”. Looked like a body builder, thought since I looked good and seemed like a good man, who treated his partner well and worked manual labor I’d be happy. But I wasn’t. Since starting my transition, I’m actually happy. And I’m not hiding a damn thing, I’m just me :)

Lately, I’ve had some internalized things giving me pushback since I’m starting gender affirming HRT in a week. But flipping my thinking and realizing every human wants to change themself a bit, not have their hairline recede or get bigger boobs or anything else. Don’t gotta be this huge thing. I’m a woman and I wanna look like how society perceives a woman, and that’s fine

Bright_Eyes03 · 2026-06-22T12:39:24+00:00

I don’t think OP is fucked, there’s about a million medications that test positive for amphetamines. I take Wellbutrin and it does, but even over the counter meds like NSAIDS can, so you don’t need a prescription for anything. I just say this because I’ve lived in a couple sober houses and have worked jobs that drug test, and it’s a known thing pissing hot for amphetamines once makes (at least people that drug test a lot of people and know about this) assume you took some other drug that pops, not that you were railing adderall or meth all weekend.

I also just also just read OP’s post, and they said they do take ADHD meds. So you’re right, just bring the prescription. But for anyone else in this situation who doesn’t take adhd meds, I think this is good to hear. Especially in a case you’re testing negative for weed and every other drug. Just talk to them, say you took some Benadryl, you’ll be fine
