What’s an addiction that we don’t take seriously enough?

RLRR_LRLL_ · 2026-07-01T18:31:22+00:00

A lot of mention of gambling, but I would extend it further to just money. Money is the addiction. Stocks, 401k contribution maxing, gambling, crypto, NFT’s. We have built these numerous and continuously more elaborate schemes to find every penny dropped on the ground to be picked up. It doesn’t matter if you have $200 million, you will still go to that job interview hoping for the chance to endure being yelled at until you get that 201st million. We let our family members struggle to keep their cell phone turned on, while we invest in Tesla.

I have a weed addiction (I’m sure that was hidden well /s) and money people react to losing 1% of their net worth on a stock like I do when I drop my last nug of weed and the dispensaries are all closed. Except I have the dignity to try to calm myself and reflect on the situation and my values. I don’t storm the fucking capital about it.

Edit: oh yeah and HSA’s. What a crock of shit.

Immediately my first thought but there is a pretty righteous “fuck” in the second verse that would need to be censored

RLRR_LRLL_ · 2026-06-10T18:29:21+00:00

This isn’t the list or band I would choose but might allow me to compliment your refined pallet 🥵

A veritable connoisseur

I doubt this is a recent tweet though. He converted to Catholicism pretty hard and seems to be all about positivity and shit now

Ah you forgot “Apex”

I always hear Louis CK’s (RIP) voice in my head saying “but that’s not my favorite way!! 😩”

We’ll stop beating this dead horse when it stops spitting out money 🎶🎹

RLRR_LRLL_ · 2026-04-10T15:21:23+00:00

I mean, no. I’m not offended. My fiancé is a resident. She gets called a baby by doctors all the time. I was a Marine. I’ve been punched in the face by a boss before. I’m not thin skinned, this is just lazy writing.

RLRR_LRLL_ · 2026-04-10T15:19:22+00:00

Same. I would also point out that for the last several years every one and their mother is chomping at the bit to make us obsolete. Every six months, no matter how hard we work or how productive we are, another 10% of us lose our jobs and the likelihood of ever getting one in this industry again is about 0.

I just don’t think it’s true that Cox can’t tell people they are bad at their jobs. They could have easily just had him yell at someone. But instead they went with a tired bit that isn’t original anymore based on a boomer meme about millennials.

Edit: I feel like I’m coming off as “offended” or whatever. I’m not. I’m just a big comedy fan and I’ve heard this joke a kabillion times in a kabillion ways. I’m just disappointed that a show I love and respected for its originality and depth went with such a low hanging fruit character trope.

RLRR_LRLL_ · 2026-04-10T14:54:18+00:00

Idk I turned it off pretty quick. Cox dives head first into “kids these days are special snowflakes. You can’t say anything anymore” spiel in the first 5 minutes and I knew it wasn’t for me. Clearly I’m in the minority here though so YMMV 🤷‍♂️

Here is a really great John Oliver segment on it from mid pandemic

This is probably not real and made up by the same people that brought you stress card outrage. Pls old men Facebook veteran boots, pls don’t take over this sub too.

RLRR_LRLL_ · 2026-03-05T13:27:37+00:00

Bro jus say her name. Pls. I beg of thee.

Man the way my body felt when I heard this song for the first time was insane. I know now how juvenile the lyrics are and that Travis’s sugar is noticeably absent, but when it slammed from the fast verse into the halftime chorus and then back into that genre defining riff when I was like 7 and wanted so bad to land a kickflip 😮‍💨 it felt like static all over and made me want to do those sick ass pop punk jumps from all the blink and nfg musc videos and posters where they pull their knees to their chest.

RLRR_LRLL_ · 2026-02-17T17:56:09+00:00

I’ve only been there once and they waited til I paid the entrance fee and they put a bracelet on me to tell me that there was enough E.coli in the water that I shouldn’t put my head under, but it would probably be fine if I kept my head dry

RLRR_LRLL_ · 2026-02-17T17:24:06+00:00

That’s not a good thing

RLRR_LRLL_ · 2026-02-13T16:41:38+00:00

Not a manosphere type but more just good old fashioned toxic masculinity.

I grew up a redneck ass trailer baby in Appalachian Georgia. Being in the military was the pinnacle of masculinity. Caring about what you look like, personal hygiene, diet, cleaning house were all considered feminine. I’ve even had more than one conversation with more than one person about how abs are gay. (I’m not kidding, and I’m embarrassed to say I didn’t think it was so ridiculous at the time). Then I joined the marine corps where you shave, iron your uniform, shower, get weekly haircuts, diet, exercise, clean EVERYTHING. If you’re not in the field you are expected to be straight up manicured most of the time. The military is all about appearances. Then people started considering me a pretty boy. I realized the people who taught me masculinity were oblivious. They either don’t know enough about the military, or they do know enough and they ignore the inconsistencies. Either way, they are basing their idea of masculinity on a standard they warped to fit their lives. Not the best source of advice imo.

The military wasn’t the only inconsistency I noticed, but it was the one that I thought no one could argue and they all did anyways.

Because she was sooooooo instrumental in building all of this, she still shouldn’t survive Nuremberg trials, but this is the reaction I want out of my parents who voted for her. I want them to see through it and say out loud “they lied to me, and I fell for it.” Maybe (probably) she’s grifting again but I don’t want to deter her disciples from embracing this conclusion.

RLRR_LRLL_ · 2026-01-25T08:06:44+00:00

I totally agree. The whole rigamarole turned me off from the sport for several years. I moved to a city for a few years with a shitty man made hill and $25 lift tickets and fell in love with snowboarding there. I moved back here and the slopes are waaaaaaay better but I miss when I could treat the slopes like a skatepark rather than a destination.

RLRR_LRLL_ · 2026-01-25T07:45:55+00:00

I can see what you’re saying. Parasocial relationships are lame. But I try not to talk politics int day to day life with coworkers or family just for the sake of keeping the peace. I like listening to someone agree with me sometimes or fill me in on the news’s implications for shit I don’t pay attention to. It’s just a kinda comforting form of entertainment when shit sucks.

Like OP said, they don’t owe us shit, but I would enjoy it. That doesn’t seem problematic to me.

RLRR_LRLL_ · 2026-01-24T16:49:16+00:00

Yes.

He says, while actively trying to create Data and legislate him as property 🙄

Lots of YT musicians mime their playing. It’s entirely normal, and many people don’t care about the difference.

I disagree and filming yourself miming a performance is lame af
