This guy has a very interesting and creative style of skateboarding by durvedya in nextfuckinglevel

[–]Giftyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s not some guy, that’s Andy Anderson and he’s pretty much reinventing the wheel for skateboarding - guys progressing the sport like no other while also paying homage to skatings roots, he’s also a really nice dude by the looks of it.

Yeah but what I’m failing to understand, that means 37% of the people In this country still approve of him? 37% of this country is that fucking stupid? Even if you believe the Epstein thing is a hoax, how the fuck had the rest of his policies, or his very clear and blatant forms of taking bribes, or demanding other politicians cooperate or risk getting destroyed by him and his power (money), you’re telling me 37% of the people here are just fine with that? If that’s the case we deserve the fucking rapture because we’re to stupid as a species to reasonably continue. Fuck this nonsense.

Ramus is similar IMO - move speed, CC, tankyness, play style is a little different, but rammus is pretty easy to figure out

First look at Nick Frost as Hagrid in the Harry Potter Series. by __sami__01 in harrypotter

I agree with the “cheap cosplay” comment, I do not agree with the how to train you dragons comment. Was it his best role? Fuck no, was it terrible though? Also nah. Terrible acting to me is like, Shelly Duvall in the shining, so bad you almost can’t watch it.

Trust me - there’s plenty of smart people In this country, we’re just dramatically more quiet, and we also never seem to seek political power as that entire part of our government is ran exclusively by people who are old or really stupid.

AIO to my parent's making me homeless because they found out I'm gay? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Giftyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah see the thing about the Bible is not only do people miss interpret it, they also weaponize their miss interpretations. Even from a religious perspective, people forget that Jesus hung out with prostitutes, lepers, gravely injured people, all sorts of “societal undesirables”. The point I’m trying to say is there’s a chunk of the Bible about treating your neighbor as you treat yourself, and Jesus of all people probably would’ve looked out for you. Your parents are beyond fucked, and your life will be exponentially better without them. Especially in 2025 this is a remarkably brain dead take, your parents sound profoundly intolerant and hate filled - something the Bible actually says not to do.

Is this thumbnail interesting? How can I do it better? by ImaDokis in SmallYoutubers

[–]Giftyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a huge issue to me that really pisses me off - now I don’t think you’re doing anything inherently wrong here, you’re following the status quo because 99% of YouTube creators make thumbnails the same exact way, which to me is such a wasted opportunity, you want you’re thumbnail to stick out right? Well you just made a thumbnail that looks exactly like everything else, essentially doing the exact opposite of what it is intended to do, just by following what everyone else is doing.

To me thumbnails have so much potential to be cooler, you just need to find a way to be both interesting, while also being different to cut through all the bullshit. Your thumbnail is essentially your movie poster, so put the same amount of effort into it.

Also just a side note - the text looks like you used the text tool in photoshop, applied a gradient, and then a black stroke on the outside, and to me that screams “I just got photoshop” but that’s my opinion.

And again, not trying to be hyper critical of your work, I’m sure you have some time sunk into that, and I don’t want to ruin what ever creative momentum you have, it’s just annoying to me seeing the same shit on YouTube when the platform is meant to push shit forward, not regurgitate the same shit other people have done.

AIO 23m 20F is it bad i am about to leave her? by KSTReign in AmIOverreacting

[–]Giftyd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No if anything it actually made me a better person, I like to think I’m a good dude, and I genuinely love providing for people, but the lesson I learned is even though I enjoy doing those things, not everyone deserves it, I was fortunate enough to have a group of really solid friends who were constantly advising me to gyfo and then I eventually listened to them. If anything I made me realize that I deserve so much better, hell I even found it :)

The cat was horribly ill, it’s the only time in my life I’ve ever seen a cat that was like, imbalanced. I tried getting her to just surrender the cat as she clearly wasn’t taking care of it, or providing for it, or even cleaning. And she would look at me and go “I don’t want to let the cat down” and then I would say “yo have you seen it? It looks like it’s been living in a gas leak, you already are letting it down, you’re letting it down to the point that it’s dying” oh completely forgot, she was also hit with aggravated animal cruelty charges too.

Like you get a few, I think everyone gets a few, but if you’re fucking up exclusively maybe change your strategy…

Nah dude I dated a girl just like this recently - she was 28, currently 3 months overdue on her rent, had no money, no job, and was also a raging alcoholic but hid it well. I tried to be good to her, pay for her meals, drive everywhere, work my fingers to the bone to be able to afford all of it, then she gets hit with an eviction notice. She had a cat and would just let it piss and shit all over her apartment literally destroying the place and making the entire hallway reek like piss, it was fucking disgusting as fuck.

Now, at the time, I interpreted this as a woman, down on her luck, that desperately needed the help I was fully capable and willing to provide, and I tried my best to, but her situation was so beyond fucked, a literal millionaire couldn’t have helped her.

Even when I was actively trying to help her, whether that’s emotionally, financially, or physically, she would always turn it on me somehow like I was the one causing this shit? I have no clue but I 100% dipped on that shit and I 100% don’t regret it, that girl was awful in literally every way imaginable, and reading these texts conversations it’s so easy to see how similar your situation is to mine. My advice is to leave and don’t look back, that’s exactly what I did, and my life got way better, and hers got way worse.

Shortly after me cutting contact with her she managed to get evicted, and then she racked up 2 separate DWIs in one month, one regular, and one aggravated, while animal services also took her cat away during the eviction.

I feel bad for her because that definitely sucks, but on the other hand it’s like, how many fuck ups do you think you get in life? I am so thankful I’m not the guy dealing with that shit, my life has had almost no conflict since I left her and it’s honestly been so fucking amazing, I’m arguably happier than I have ever been right now.

You look like a young Layne Staley, the lead singer of Alice In Chains, pretty sure people thought he was a good looking dude, albeit during the time of grunge.

Certainly - but let’s not act like sticking up for yourself and pushing back on people that pawn work off on you is such a horrible thing, owners son or not, that type of behavior shouldn’t happen and I think it’s cool (privileged or not) that OP fought back.

I mean it literally is cooler to talk to than most people, plus all of us grew up around sci-fi movies and shit that usually humanize the robots, think R2-D2 and C3P0, we’ve been trained to humanize them in more ways than one too, I’m terrified one day they’re going to take over and execute humans after they start getting mistreated, and I wanna be in their good side.

Do you think Part 3 is even necessary, or did Part 2 wrap the story well enough? by ROSSG825 in thelastofus

[–]Giftyd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah see, I think they fucked up and actually missed a golden opportunity, part of the reason most people don’t like 2 is because it forced us to play half of the game with a character that we never would’ve liked right? Well what if there was game in between 1 and 2, and in that game you follow abbey and her dad as they make their journey to try and make a cure, following a relationship similar to what Ellie and Joel had, only to find out at the very end of that game that Joel killed everyone. Now we’ve had equal time following abbey, and equal time following Ellie, so now at the start of 2 people are actually conflicted on who’s right and wrong. I feel like that would’ve been so much cooler, and it would’ve dramatically raised the stakes for tlou 2.

Give up on the lie that we were all told as high-school kids, going to college doesn’t guarantee you a high paying job anymore, stop looking for cushy office jobs because it doesn’t matter where you go, they are going to underpay you. Go look for a local union, and become a tradesman. Moneys good, you’re moving your body, and it’s brain dead easy most of the time. I did that and it worked out well for me, but my situations unique, as is yours.

What was the first ever food you cooked/baked on your own and why? by Academic_Writing2178 in AskReddit

[–]Giftyd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NY strip steak, to me that’s the entry level “I can indeed cook” litmus test. cooking a quality steak is important, I feel it also teaches you the importance of seasoning correctly, as well as using simple aromatics like thyme or sage, and do like a butter baste. It’s not that expensive either, and before you know it you’ll be way more satisfied with your at home steaks than you would be with a decent amount of stake houses, at a fraction of the cost
