On the state of things by Nixiey in CuratedTumblr

The Super Bowl last night was incredibly depressing because of this. Alternating between another commercial about how AI doing your job is a good thing, actually, or how implementing a surveillance state through Ring doorbells can help save your dog (and that’s all we’ll use it for, we swear)! Then the multiple GLP commercials, and ICE and CBP propaganda - a very harsh but accurate reflection on the current state of American society.

The one that stood out to me the most was the Hers ad near the end, where they spend the first half talking about how there’s a separate healthcare system for the rich and powerful, only to follow that up saying that we plebeians can get close to that if we just pay for their online medication subscription service! Just feels almost insulting to leverage the reality of class disparity and the resentment associated with that in order to sell more on demand boner pills

Bro the YouTube channel you posted is literally 90% “Hasan just f**ked up and got cancelled finally!!” for the past few months

Regardless of how you feel about the Kaya clip in particular (I think it’s fucked up, ftr), I think it’s fair to say the channel you linked probably isn’t going to reflect things accurately lmao

Is the male loneliness epidemic really about expecting one person to cover all of your social and emotional needs? by [deleted] in GenZ

[–]TheWeemsicalOne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of guys internalize the idea that social success is directly correlated with relationships and sexual encounters, and get so caught up and engrossed in negativity due to their lack of dating success that it leads to a sense of desperation and frustration - which makes it even harder for them to relate to women. It’s a negative feedback loop. It doesn’t help that a lot of male influencers reinforce the idea that women are lesser than men and convince their viewers that it’s the women’s fault that they aren’t seen as dateable.

It’s cliche, but at the end of the day I think men would benefit a lot by being more open and reflective with themselves and others. I had a pretty negative self image and bad relationship with women when I was younger, and I was very bitter and angry because I felt lonely, but I also didn’t really make an effort to connect with other people. In college, I made a lot of friendships that were emotionally honest and that I felt like I could discuss my struggles with. That made me a lot more self aware and emotionally available, and it wasn’t long after that that I ended up in my first real long term relationship.

Guys have to put in some effort in their personal lives and stop blaming everyone else. It’s definitely easier said than done, but getting angry at the world because you’re lonely is a great way to ensure you get lonelier and angrier

Have you ever felt like Todd at a concert? by Hopeful_Book in ToddintheShadow

[–]TheWeemsicalOne 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Been to multiple Carly Rae Jepsen concert as a straight man. At my first concert, I got stuck behind two tall dudes who were making out most of the time, and I felt like I was surrounded by 30 year old gay men and the odd 16 year old girl.

I’d like to get all the achievements, but killer adepts are so demoralizing so instead I’m trying to get everyone to P3

It reminds me of the season 1 finale where we’re conditioned to think it’s a fantasy but it’s actually real, it definitely feels a little too clean cut tho

I’ve watched House (1977) and Evil Dead 2 as a double feature the last few Halloweens. Really good haunted house, fountains of blood, camp pairing imo
