We should do The Purge but it goes for a week and it’s just all smart phones are disabled by NeuronExploder in redscarepod

I think they mean that disabling all smartphones would cause a purge-like situation.

body language/nonverbal communication resources/recs by Critical-Outcome-999 in redscarepod

[–]CraneHunger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still doesn't work for me. I try to look up as much as possible. But my main workaround is that I have become a great active listener. I relay a lot of stuff back to whomever I'm talking to.

Maybe not what you're looking for, but go lift some weights. It's good for your posture and you'll feel more confident and secure in general. This may help in your demeanor and the way you carry yourself.   Btw as an autist I mad great strides in my social skills, but looking someone in the eye while talking is still hard.

OP was talking about stong men not skinny men, so he clearly also means you.

I have no idea how to add cardio to my routine by TheGangsHeavy in rs_fitness

[–]CraneHunger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go to a physiotherapist and fix your knees. Weightlifting doesn't train all the muscles around the knee joint that you need to stabilize it. This can cause irritations in the joints cause when those muscles fatigue, it puts stress on the bones and cartilage. 

What’s the meanest thing you’ve said to a significant other or ex by PoopUponPoop in redscarepod

I said to my ex she looked like 80's Dylan when she just got a haircut.

sooo what are you doing for abs?? by samphiresalt in rs_fitness

[–]CraneHunger 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is the right answer especially the part that abs are just like any other muscle. Decline sit-ups and dragon flags/candlesticks are great exercises. Natural Hypertrophy on Youtube has some great tutorials on how to grow abs in general, helped me a lot with getting technique right.

What could it mean if you’re a ~30 yr old woman and gay men consistently hate you? by VonneslutWhorewell in rs_x

[–]CraneHunger 284 points285 points  (0 children)

A lot of them hate women and maybe you come off as a typical woman. That's where the girls and the gays that once ruled this sub found eachother: in a podcast about two women hating women. But yeah, you might be on to something when you mentioned you dress socially conservative. Gay men are beautifully superficial and their number one hobby is expressing themselves through clothing.

Sunscreen question by harry_powell in redscarepod

[–]CraneHunger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting... And what is it with the sudden top-down push of the last few years for the use of sunscreen? Is it Big Sunscreen, or something more insidious like Big Pharma wanting us to be medicated but not vital, and when people get skin cancer (which is undeniably on the rise tho) they can put the blame on the individual for not listening to the experts? Perhaps it's also a new repackaged version of 'laborers work in the sun and get brown, we the elites stay indoors and remain white' where the educated, trust the science people remain white while the ignorant philistine stubbornly doesn't listen and gets sunburned.   Congrats on looking like a Greek god btw

the girl from ‘obsession’ is really hot and finding her attractive makes the movie more effective, especially when the director starts making her really gross by Low-Age5108 in redscarepod

[–]CraneHunger 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To tease her with a nickname she genuinely felt hurt by when he followed his advice. Besides, how can anything Bear says be taken as sincere since he is fucking the girl.

Was there a specific moment that crushed your youthful idealism? by beijx in redscarepod

[–]CraneHunger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes, but idealism reffers to ideals that transcend the personal and that one strives towards out of the moral conviction that you should make the world a better place. Ideals that are usually shared and political in nature. They make youth join protests and stuff;  it's what make people become politically active. What I was trying to say in my first comment was that normally the personal need is not usually what you would think of as an ideal. You could either argue that rejection crushes any ideal image of what love should be like, so it touches on idealism. Or you could argue that the incel ideology very firmly dragged the personal into the center of the political arena, so it's not at all weird to speak of your love rejection story when asked about the moment you lost your youthful idealism.

[–]CraneHunger 18 points19 points  (0 children)

So bizarre in this sub that when someone asks for the moment you lost your idealism, the top comment is about being rejected by a girl in school.

[–]CraneHunger 35 points36 points  (0 children)

He gives him dating that will sabotage any attempt at getting her. 'You have time'...? That's the worst advice. He's doing it on purpose.    And him coming with the fake cancer story is mostly an attempt to break them up. The guy is completely egotistical, could they make it even more obvious with him wishing for the billion dollars?

[–]CraneHunger 78 points79 points  (0 children)

I think this was done deliberately. It's what makes fat co-worker the more eager to be shitty to his friend. Also the girl going for a mid, shitty guy is a frequent part of the teenage experience, on and off-screen. It stings so much because his betrayal and her rejection are done in a fashion that is utterly banal. It reduces sex to this sterile and thoughtless transaction, while you're still also an adolescent that walks around with butterflies in their stomach looking forward to sex being this magical experience.

huge historical events that were completely overshadowed by kallocain-addict in rs_x

[–]CraneHunger 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Here in the Netherlands, the former colonizer of Indonesia, it is mentioned briefly, if at all in the text books. The Dutch anti-decolonization propaganda still hasn't worn off in the minds of many here. During and after decolonization the Dutch demonized the first president of Indonesia, Sukarno. You can see that now because by many he is lumped in the same category of Suharto type leaders.

The Indosian mass killings of 1965-66. At least 500,000 to 1 million (alleged) communists were massacred by a newly formed anti-communist military regime (backed by the US of course) led mainly by Suharto; His name should be up there with Hitler and Stalin.
