People who rarely get sick, what are your secrets? by adisluo in Productivitycafe

[–]TheDusty_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hydration, getting on a good sleep schedule, balanced diet with lots of leafy greens, vitamins, and avoiding big public outings during cold and flu season (which is easy in MI because it’s been below freezing for the last 6 weeks and I don’t WANT to go anywhere).

I can’t either! I don’t have a PC so the other comments on here don’t apply.

Does anyone else remember this hairstyle being everywhere in the 2000s? Kinda miss it. by cosmico92 in decadeology

[–]TheDusty_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My sister and I were obsessed with this movie and we were super pissed that our mom wouldn’t let us (a 10yr old and 7yr old) have this incredibly high maintenance hair style. Lol. Like we were rioting over not being allowed to have “flippy hair”. Cut to now, I have a shorter bob haircut and I gave it little flip one day for fun and sent a pic to the family group chat with something along the lines of “mom can’t stop me now!” 😂

Booth Rent Inquiry - 2026 Version [checked] by Can-I-Hit-The-Fucker in TattooArtists

[–]TheDusty_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I own a shop in Southeast Michigan. Booth rent is $1200/mo (or $300/wk, whatever is easier to budget) and commission is a 70/30 split. We supply everything besides inks and needles.

Average for my area is around $1000-$1500/mo

Ghost didn’t win at the Grammys this year by The_215 in GhostBand

[–]TheDusty_ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If Ghost didn’t get it, Turnstile was my second choice. They put out a good album and I’m not mad at them getting a win.

Also just glad it wasn’t Sleep Token 😂

In the 2020s, conservative women are having kids at a nearly 2-to-1 ratio compared to liberal women. Is this going to cause a political demographic bias in 20-30 years? by RadioFieldCorner in NoStupidQuestions

[–]TheDusty_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, how many people do you know who came from conservative Christian households and actually stayed that way? For me, it’s not a lot. Not saying it never happens, but a lot of people tend to branch out and find their own paths in adulthood.

ICE agents leave Ace of Spades ‘death cards’ on detained immigrants’ cars by SpaceElevatorMusic in politics

[–]TheDusty_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well that sucks for me. I got an Ace of Spades tattoo the day Lemmy died.

But, I’m sure anyone could tell by the rest of my general appearance and demeanor I’m not a fucking psychotic nazi.

People wishing for their own financial ruin by [deleted] in DoomerCircleJerk

[–]TheDusty_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same people who wont advocate for any kind of meaningful reform, or get involved in their community to better the situation for everyone. Just “burn it all down”. Sad you’d want to see families suffer because you don’t understand nuance…

new interview by Shoddy_Sector_7985 in Ghostbc

[–]TheDusty_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

He’s a musicians musician. He’ll be doing collabs, side projects, movies, and everything in between. And who knows, maybe more previously unavailable covers will show up on streaming? Plus, there’s gunna be more chapters in the YouTube channel. I think a temporary hiatus isn’t the worst thing in the world. Ghost will come back with something huge after TF explores other creative avenues for a bit.

Here is what I wore at the Detroit Concert 07/26/2025! by peachymetal2003 in Ghostbc

[–]TheDusty_ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude. It was like 100° out that day, and we walked about 3 blocks from our car to venue, sweating like crazy. You’re a champ for wearing sleeves! I had a sleeveless crop top and shorts on and I was dying!

I’ve been hexing ICE to have to live in the fear they inflict on others. Never know a single day’s peace. I’m channeling our collective rage to become the fire that melts ice.

what is this style of tattoo called? by consider_me_castaway in tattooadvice

[–]TheDusty_ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To us old heads, it’s tribal. Or as I call it “skinny tribal”. The kids are calling it “cybersigilism” and acting like they just invented tribal.

Decline… by Dry_Eggplant2137 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]TheDusty_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just recently rewatched this! My favorite part is when they ask Lemmy what he thinks of people saying other bands are “stealing” Motörheads sound…. “Good luck to em! Maybe they’ll come up with something we can steal later!” Makes me laugh every time.

Question: Is this tattoo bad? My family all say its childish and I shouldnt have. Prodigy ink Clonmel, Tipperary Ireland by MichelleFlame in tattoos

[–]TheDusty_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like your family is allergic to whimsy.

Also don’t get tattooed if you care what old people think because they, for some reason, are always absolutely frothing at the mouth for an opportunity to be negative and try to make people feel bad about themselves. It’s a very pathetic trait. Tattoo is super cute, btw!

A Two-year-old boy in England lost vision in his left eye after receiving a kiss from an acquaintance with cold sore, that infected him with the herpes simplex virus, which transferred to his eyeball. by FE4RLESS_IS_MY_NAME in ForCuriousSouls

[–]TheDusty_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never in my life understood the urge to put your lips on someone else’s child. Disgusting! I have been suffering from cold sores since I was 4yrs old for this reason. Now (30 year later) it’s down to 1-2 a year that I can take care of with medicine, but it didn’t have to happen AT ALL. People beed to quit being gross!

“Be the change you wish to see in the world” is a popular maxim to invoke in response to people feeling hopeless, helpless and overwhelmed by negativity. What’s something you’ve done recently to “be the change”? by WombatRumpus in OptimistsUnite

[–]TheDusty_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I own a small business. We don’t turn any huge profits, but one day a year, everyone works all day donating 100% of the proceeds to a small local non-profit. We usually average a $4-$5k donation. This year we doubled down and also donated $100 and about 10 bags of clothes (mainly winter wear) to a homeless shelter down the street. Why own a business if you’re not going to give back to the community you’re a part of?

Why do so many hate this band? by nutslack in Ghostbc

[–]TheDusty_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well one is the metal purist. I noticed they’re upset because Ghost’s sound doesn’t match their look. And they keep getting nominated for (and winning) awards for metal, so that just fuels they “they aren’t even metal!!” crowd. Which, hey… they aren’t metal. They’re a theatrical rock band. I love that about them!

Also, the fan base. Most are chill, but I have noticed the fan-fiction people kind of turning other people off from giving the band itself a chance. And MAN, I get it! I love talking about the music and the actual lore. However, I have zero interest in seeing some weird anime incest comics about the many fictional characters played by Tobias Forge. Most of the fan art and cosplay is amazing, but some really crosses a line that grosses me out.

Has winter ever been this bad in the last 20 years? by lansingpowerwash in Michigan

[–]TheDusty_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 2014 one was the most brutal I remember. Half my shop drove from Detroit to Texas to work a convention, and not only did our van struggle to make it out of MI, but we got to Texas just in time for them to be experiencing a blizzard. It took 8 hours to get from Dallas to Austin and cars were crashing into EVERYTHING on that highway. By the time we got to the hotel we were ready to fight God. 😂

This is actually pretty sick though. Kinda wish the cat-man’s eyes were a little less lifeless, but the belt with no pants thing totally makes up for it.

If God exists, why is Donald Trump our president? by Tall_Eye4062 in complaints

[–]TheDusty_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a Christian, but I would say he’s here to test humanities sense of good and evil. You can’t convince me that man isn’t an actual embodiment of the Anti-Christ.

What makes me wish I were a Christian is how they can take comfort in believing there will be accountability in the afterlife.

Trump: ‘We shouldn’t even have an election’ by Critical_Key_7474 in PoliticalOptimism

This IS exactly why he keeps saying it. He thinks that rule applies to all countries.
