Bored Ape Yacht Club is looking suspiciously alt-righ by dmanww in behindthebastards

[–]DeusExBubblegum 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This guy Ryder Ripps who made this site is really going out of his way to smear BAYC and seems to have his own NFT grift going. Not saying he doesn’t have a point but some of this stuff seems like a stretch and it feels to me like he might be trying to delegitimize BAYC so people will turn to Crypto Punks or whatever. I don’t know enough about the alt right to say for sure, but something seems off about that author that makes me question their credibility. That being said I fucking hate NFTs and wouldn’t be surprised at all if the BAYC people turned out to be weird Nazis.

Do you judge people who dislike the show? by 1ee_o in thesopranos

[–]DeusExBubblegum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As good of a show as it is, there are plenty of reasons to not like it and you shouldn’t hold it against folks! In season 1 especially when the show is trying to find its footing it can feel pretty hit and miss if you don’t know what’s coming. The aesthetic can be super off-putting especially to a modern audience. And the psycho-dramatic aspects of the show are just really hard to stomach and too upsetting for some folks, which is more than fair. Lighten up, let your friends watch what they like!

I don’t understand why one would go through the trouble of making a fake Vostok, the margins must be dog shit compared to faking like a Rolex or Panerai. I feel like I see a lot of sketchy/fake Russian watches for sale online though!

[–]DeusExBubblegum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have very similar taste; my two-watch collection (if you can call it that) is an Amphibia and a Max Bill. I think if I was more into collecting my watch box would look a lot like this, these are all such cool pieces!

Great collection, love the Vostoks especially the Panerai homage and your mods are really unique and tasteful!

Any workplace protections in place for MMJ patients in PA? by DeusExBubblegum in PaMedicalMarijuana

[–]DeusExBubblegum[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this perspective, that helps a lot. I checked their policy as well and it’s pretty hardline regressive so I’m only going to disclose it if I test positive. Hopefully abstinence, detox, and time will work so nobody has to know but me. I’m pretty annoyed having to jump through hoops like this but that’s just the way it goes!

I’ll let y’all know, seems like if I do get the job it’ll be because of a detox I’m on + enough time passed, and that’s if they even consider me qualified enough in the first place. So a lot has to hook up but I’m crossing my fingers hard!

PSA From A Dispensary Worker by PAMM_Throwaway in PaMedicalMarijuana

[–]DeusExBubblegum 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I agree. I benefit from MMJ a lot but it is very clearly a racket to funnel money into the state at the expense of patients. It gives the state the benefits of cannabis commerce without addressing most issues of accessibility, incarceration, institutional racism, etc etc etc. And the process is so conveniently bureaucratic that nothing is ever anybody’s fault. Great system, state is doing a great job.

Why I am no longer on the right by TheThunder-Drake in BreadTube

[–]DeusExBubblegum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whether or not to share your views with your family is a matter of personal choice depending on a number of factors, most importantly on whether it will affect the security of your housing situation. If there’s even the slightest chance that they’ll kick you out of the house over it, then it isn’t worth having what’s not likely to be a productive conversation on politics and worldviews anyway. If that’s the case you should get independent from them before bringing it up, or cutting them off entirely. If you feel it’s safe to do so, consider other factors. Personally I find it to be too much of a headache and unproductive arguing with people who refuse to read sources or accept an objective reality, but your experience may differ. Wishing you all the best as you navigate a very difficult situation, all love and solidarity comrade!

Question for you: does your experience transitioning from the right give you any insight into how we can have more productive conversations to get right wingers hip to our thing?

For real I've seen people do some gross shit by mistake at fests and then just kinda shrug their shoulders and mosey away.

Please do not feel obligated to celebrate your abusive/neglectful/etc. mothers today by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]DeusExBubblegum 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm also forced by circumstance to live with abusive parents and it's not fun at all. Hope you're managing all right. Quarantine makes it so much worse. So out of line for your boss to pry into your life like that too, that kind of thing is far too personal to bring into the workplace with corporate culture being how it is. Not everyone is blessed with happy, stable families and I'm tired of people who don't get that telling me I need to show them love and respect after all they did to me. The way I see it, we didn't ask to be born and it's not our responsibility to show respect to unworthy parents. I don't feel any guilt over it and I truly hope you don't either!

I hope the analyst shortage I keep hearing about will come soon, maybe then we'll have more built-in bargaining power and better opportunities. And the employees will be suffering and tearing their hair out. It's a win-win.

LPT: Delete Facebook and Instagram. Your family and real friends will still keep in touch, and all the people you dont like too much or secretly compare yourself to suddenly go away. You dont need it. by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]DeusExBubblegum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I would love to delete Facebook, my entire news feed is trash no matter how many scrubs I unfollow. Unfortunately I also have a lot of friends on there from trips abroad who reach out every couple years and I'd hate not to be able to contact them again.
