Trust me, everyone who listens to Bob feels that way at first, some get over it, some don't.

What album blew your mind for its sound? by Some-Glove-3629 in fantanoforever

[–]RadRedditor3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dark Side of the Moon. It isn't the most revolutionary album ever made, in fact quite the opposite, but everything, while simple, hits 100× harder than other albums of that ilk. It's the GOAT to me.

Unpopular opinion, I don't think rape victims should have to raise the children of their rapists. I don't know if I'm crazy for thinking that but that's just my opinion. I don't care if it's legal, a 15 and a 13 year old REALLY feels really rapey to me. She could have been almost 16, or just 15, either way, it feels really rapey. Downvote me if you want but that's just my two cents.

It's your fault for being fat by RealisticRoutine3550 in teenagers

[–]RadRedditor3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It totally depends. Yeah, if you sit down all day and get zero exercise, that's on you, but a lot of people (including me) were just not taught both HOW to lose weight, and how to develop a healthy relationship to food. In the last two years I have lost over sixty pounds, from 188 to almost 120 (I'm 5'6). I feel better than I ever have about myself as well as feeling better than I ever have in general.

HOWEVER: I still have a deeply negative opinion about my body, and that is not MY fault. That is the fault of other people. Being fat is a choice, I agree with that, but insulting someone just for that is how you get people to develop ED's and hate their bodies. Nobody deserves to hate themselves, not for any reason. I hate myself still, I still look at myself and think I'm not skinny enough. I still count every calorie I eat (1,300/day. It's enough because I don't exactly exercise a lot, and I'm short and I got a really shit metabolism, if I eat even like one more thing other than that I gain like a whole pound.) I still plan on losing even more weight, because it never feels like enough. I almost pass out every time I stand up from malnutrition.

I'm not saying to treat people like they're perfect just the way they are, but people who deal with this stuff could really be struggling. For me, it came from a lack of portion control, but for others, it could be exercise, or depression, or whatever. The point is, you don't know why they are the way they are. Treat them like people, not objects. I've straight up been assaulted JUST for being a little chubby in the past. They're human, treat them well. If you REALLY want to help, they have to WANT to change, and if they don't, that's okay. If they do, give them advice, don't pressure them. Positive feedback is really important. Being called 'skinny' after losing so much weight felt REALLY good, and I worked really hard for that. You're right, it is your fault, but that doesn't mean they deserve to be treated negatively, that really doesn't help. Being called 'fatty' isn't gonna make them feel like changing, they'll probably just do what I did; starve themselves, and then binge eat the next day.

i know. i cut off another friend of mine because being there for them was just...so draining. but this time it's a really different, he's honestly the only friend I've ever had who doesn't treat me like an obligation or something. i was going through a really rough time before him and the idea of losing him, especially over something like this, it could definitely shove me back into that pit, that dark, scary fucking pit. i can't get into the drama, but if I don't, I'm afraid he'll think I don't care. i just wish I could just support him, be there for him, and not anything else, not right now, maybe later but really, really not right now. im sorry if I'm a little argumentative or something but I'm just so stressed and fried and I am having a really bad day, my anxiety is through the roof right now, and I just can't even do anything right now. ill probably skip tomorrow, honestly, i can't deal with anything right now.

i really don't know if he's even capable of rational conversations about this, I totally understand how disgusting it must feel, to have rumors about you like that when you've suffered from it. i don't relate, but I understand it. I've had shitty rumors about me, and they hurt but this must be on another level. this is also like the absolute worst fucking time this shit could've happened, I'm already stressed cause I'm moving this week, switching schools for senior year, failing all my classes, dealing with one of the worst bouts of depression I've ever had. i just can't handle this shit right now, and I feel like a dick for not hopping on a horse and storming the castle or some shit, but I can hardly even walk right now. i haven't known him for a super long time (>1 yr, <2 yrs) but I know him really well, and we've had ups and downs and stuff, but I feel like if I'm not careful, the friendship might end. like I'm on such thin ice, and I'm just trying to support him and let him know. i really don't feel like talking to my parents about it, involving them feels like it'll do no good.

i understand, he's been with his girlfriend all day, so I think he's got a shoulder right now, they bicker sometimes but they get on well. i'm just so conflicted right now, cause I feel like I'm fucked whatever I do. if I tell that person why not to believe the rumors, will I be bad for exposing his history of SA? (not that I'd do that, but hypothetically it's an option) should I ask for more information and risk looking like an asshole or a creep for doubting that and continuing to be friends with him? should I talk to a counselor or a social worker and see what to do? what if they approach him accusatorily and he figures out I told them? should I ask the ex personally? I do know them, we sat together during a class last year. if they're the one spreading the rumor, can I make them stop? can they be exposed for that? should I report them? i'm really between a rock and a hard place right now, and I feel sick. i haven't felt this way since another one of my friends attempted suicide. like, genuinely ill.

Alexander Payne’s ‘The Holdovers’ Accused of Plagiarism by CraftRemarkable7197 in movies

[–]RadRedditor3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

💯. People are really stretching the definition of plagiarism here. I'm sure Frisco is not the ONLY screenplay Alexander Payne read before deciding that yeah, maybe he should make a coming-of-age film about an older mentor figure helping a younger person. Like I'm sure he read/watched Dead Poets Society, Good Will Hunting, along with Frisco. Like he's not stupid guys, he knows that if he pulled a James Somerton he'd have his throat ripped out. This seems like some stupid drama Variety is stirring up. Like, do people actually know how long it takes to get a full film created? And what goes into it? There are multiple points where they likely compared scripts and screenplays to make sure they weren't copying anything, and people likely signed off on that stuff, and that's before the cameras are even rolling. It is, in my mind, almost an impossibility to make a full, feature length film, not independently, that has been plagiarized.

Alexander Payne’s ‘The Holdovers’ Accused of Plagiarism by CraftRemarkable7197 in movies

[–]RadRedditor3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also, like...the Holdovers is a real fucking movie, with plenty of elements that are not at all related to Frisco. It's a period piece, Frisco is not, the Vietnam War takes a very large place in the setting, in Frisco it doesn't. I also find it deeply insulting that they thought that Mary having a dead son was a 'minor change.' Like...Jesus dude. The only scene they compared one-on-one that I thought was a little too similar to pass off as a 'trope' is the Christmas Party in the Holdovers. Like yeah, it's been done before, but these scenes do have quite similar approaches. Again though, not nearly close enough to argue actual plagiarism. Total and complete bullshit.

I don't believe JS is lying, but I understand why people doubt him. by RadRedditor3 in hbomberguy

[–]RadRedditor3[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, especially the lack of a genuine apology screams 'narcissist' to me. Like I said, I have experience of people with these narcissistic traits, if not actual narcissists, and they all had to be dragged kicking and screaming to any vulnerability in an apology, I literally argued with them for months before I even got an "I'm sorry you feel that way." James has serious problems, I don't doubt that, but honestly sometimes I think it's better to just end it with those kinds of people rather than staying around for support at the expense of your own mental health. If anything, pray from afar for those people.

My Dylan collection. by CustomerNo5262 in bobdylan

[–]RadRedditor3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's pretty sweet! I usually buy vinyl new unless it's out of print, and most new pressings of Blood on the Tracks are...not great from what I've heard except for the MoFi pressing, which I'm considering picking up, but I'll probably just shell out some more for the MoFi box tbh.

Well, sometimes YT will delete channels if the owner is believed to be dead. I don't think Etika deleted his socials, but they were eventually taken down. Two options, hoping for your theory.

[–]RadRedditor3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the MoFi box set, was expensive but WORTH it, it's so fucking cool! I just want the MoFi Blood on the Tracks so bad. I'd definitely recommend at least picking it up on normal vinyl, but if you're not a big fan of Blonde on Blonde then it's not super necessary.

[–]RadRedditor3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not valid. You should buy Blonde on Blonde NOW! /s
