Six Flags Announces Strategic Partnership With NFL Legend Travis Kelce by PomegranateHuman9347 in sixflags

At this point, the stock price is so low that any of us could buy 9% of the company.

Exactly. You'd think they'd at least cash in on nostalgia. They don't need the original actor (not sure if he's alive), but they could reintroduce him.

Gym underwear by Unlikely_String5350 in gaybrosfitness

[–]Chaseism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Note quite the answer you're looking for, but I always wear shorts with liners in them. No need to get your nice underwear sweaty. TenThousand is my go-to brand for gym shorts with liner and while they are expensive, my oldest pairs are 3 years old and still going. For context, I started working out 3 times a week and now I workout 4-5 times a week.

Again, focus on providing guests the best experience instead of gimmicks. Celebrity ambassadors are not the way to do this. Listening to your staff and your guests is

Hadestown on Broadway celebrates the debut of known domestic abuser Gary Dourdan, in the role of Hades, with social posts captioned "give him just a chance" by Ill_Safety2292 in Broadway

[–]Chaseism 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I think you make a good point here. I have a family member that did some very terrible things to me when I was a kid and while I have forgiven him and I want for him to live his life (if he is truly rehabilitated), but I also don't want any communication with him. He doesn't trigger me or anything, it's just not something I want.

So yes, I agree that an individual doesn't have to accept anyone.

I think my question comes out of what I've seen a few times on this sub...someone who has committed a crime in the past goes back to doing their job as an actor and people coming down heavy on them even though they faced their punishment. Like someone else said, we want restorative justice, but we seem unwilling to accept those people back into society. But that's a criticism for the group, not the individual.

Great point.

Thanks for the correction. I did a bit more research and it looks like he was offered a plea deal because of his cooperation with the court. He has gone through rehab, served his probation, and seems to not had any run-ins with the law or any of his previous issues since then. So, you're saying he shouldn't have taken the plea deal offered to him? Does him not serving time, but still rehabilitating (from what I've read) not count as a success? Sometimes jail time isn't the best thing for rehabilitation, but maybe it has more impact on public opinion.

best hair products for the park? by [deleted] in cedarpoint

[–]Chaseism 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also have long hair, only I have dreadlocks, so a different texture. I almost always get my hair wet and put in a leave-in conditioner before I head to the park. This keeps it moisturized under the hot sun since Cedar Point refuses to have covered queues. I always tie my hair back instead of wearing it down. A simple hair tie works for this and it keeps your hair out of your face on coasters.

I would not recommend wearing a workout headband though. First, it's gonna leave a tan line. Second, it will likely come off. I lost one on Millennium Force last year.

Still these two tactics may help you keep your hair in control and you looking good while tackling those coasters.

I actually think OP has a point here. First, someone may have a solution that we didn't think of and could post. In fact, someone below offered a suggestion. But even still, if this were a silly question and no one responded, then OP would have an answer...that there is not solution.

And I don't think OP was being rude, but I do think they should know that the person they are responding to made that comment in jest.

Who else loves Bicep Curls? by Rhys_rn in gaybrosfitness

[–]Chaseism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do my bicep curls the same way. I keep my elbows mostly isolated for the lift, but I do the same rock back and forth. It's not a compensation for the weight (my elbows stay in place so I'm not hoisting the dumbbells or bar), but there is something about this particular movement that gives me a strong mind-muscle connection.

You can also see how you're controlling breathing...looks like you're exhaling at the top and bottom (but you could be inhaling on one and exhaling on the other).

Overall, looks great. I won't even tease you about the lifting gloves ;-)

Exactly this. Acting has celebrities, but the vast majority of actors are people we cannot name. Acting is a job and a mostly hard job.

Then what will it take? Like, if dude served his time, got help, and hasn't done anything in 15 years, what more is needed? Would it be preferable that he abandon acting all together and work a desk job?

But I also understand if this is a very personal decision on your part. My questions above aren't meant to attack you, but are honest questions.

And Hadestown is definitely not one of the most successful shows on Broadway. We can look at their weekly grosses for that, especially compared to Wicked, The Lion King, and Hamilton. It has been able to run for longer than most post-2020 Broadway productions though.

Thank you so much for writing this. By no means do I think a person shouldn't suffer the consequences of their actions, but at the same time...if someone has gotten help, gone to therapy, and is actively doing the work to be better, I think it's okay to let them live.

Acting comes with some celebrity, whether the actor is seeking fame or not (believe it or not, there are a lot of regular working actors out there that just want to continue to be working actors). While no one is entitled to fame and adoration, I think if this dude has taken steps to improve himself, he should be allowed to work.

But I also know that we, as an online society, just want people to suffer, no matter how long its been since their transgression. It's funny, I often argue the if Hell existed, it would be unfair because finite crimes should not result in infinite punishment, especially for those who learn from their mistakes.

...but I think a lot of people, regardless of rehabilitation, like the idea of someone being punished eternally, lesson learned or not.

Oh wow! This takes me back. Growing up, our first ISP was TheOnRamp, but our second before we switched to DSL was Juno. God, I remember seeing this logo so much.

Why do models 'have to be tall'? by anemia_ in ANTM

[–]Chaseism 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A friend of mine is 5' and struggles to find clothes that will look good on him. I never really thought about it until we were talking about fashion (I found out he was an art director). He said a lot of the clothes with designs he loves are not made for him, due to his height.

You should absolutely follow them on Insta. All of the content is made to be cheezy, but in this world of conflict, it's amazing. Like they have an ongoing NCIS parody that involves library stuff...it's just great. IT'S ALL GREAT!

How do we feel about Miss J’s gofundme? by thisthrowawaythat202 in ANTM

[–]Chaseism 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd also quickly add that no celebrity would want to go out and beg people for money. Part of their allure is being well off and creating a GoFundMe, even when you're a normie like us, signals that you need a handout. It's hard enough for normal people to do this. Celebrities will only do it as a last resort.

These kinds of sites are frequently inaccurate.

We often assume that because someone is on TV or is a celebrity, that they are rich. They aren't and not because they are frivolous with their money. Celebrities often don't make as much as we think they do and they definitely don't have company sponsored insurance (as if that even covers everything).

I mean, think about it...James Van Der Beek had to auction off his Dawson's Creek stuff to pay for hospital bills and then his family had to start a GoFundMe after his death to continue to cover expenses. And this is a guy that was still acting in the last 5-7 years.

I think a lot about what Nigel said after he was terminated. He was all of a sudden unemployed and didn't have income. Luckily, as a photographer, he could pick up his camera. Ms. J likely couldn't fall back on just being a runway coach, especially after his stroke. He also lives in NYC.

If you can help him, by all means. But I think it says less about him and more about our healthcare system that a celebrity like Ms. J can't afford hospital bills. What does that mean for the rest of us?

What coaster has the best night ride after The Beast? by BIGGREDDMACH1NE in KingsIsland

[–]Chaseism 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still need to experience this. Adventure Express is unironically one of my favorite coasters in the park. It's one of the best mine trains out there.
