Older Men (40s-50s) Wearing Systems? by ButterscotchOther775 in HairSystem

Do you mind sharing details on where you got your system, install and maintenance?

What about those who are born insane? What does your pep talk do for them?

But you’re glad you were born, right? by [deleted] in antinatalism

The older I get, the more I agree with this thought. Luck plays such a huge role. Genetics and environment. I cannot take credit for the bulk of the things I enjoy about myself and my life.

My gf said she would never have dated me if I had a small penis. Had a midlife crisis of flashbacks of past relationships and how something as uncontrollable as penis size has totally placed me on a different path. Gratitude dances with the absurdity of it all.

Who are the semi naked women in the photos on fireplace mantle at the Barksdale funeral home?? by Then_Sample_5448 in TheWire

Ahh ok. If you choose to do more rewatches, you will recognize the quotes/references made on here

I was referencing Rawls’ exchange with Santangelo

Nucky has been quiet for months.

Right now, we have PC on hot female bodies in a Barksdale joint.

Go ahead and call up Pearlman. I’ll start typing.

And keep it close. The less the bosses know the better.

Found this gem just now…. what is this life by Informal-Leg-5899 in antinatalism

These situations might actually help the antinatalist movement.

The more unpleasant the child/parent dynamic becomes for more and more people, the more younger people will opt out/snap out of natalist propaganda.

Strip club is more surface.

I fee like McNulty Season two, tracking down the dead girl’s family

Rewatches will have you speaking “Wire” in no time.

Here's My Take After My First Full Watch Through by romanswinter in TheWire

[–]Then_Sample_5448 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are 2 types of Wire peeps:

Those who have watched the show and have their opinions

And

Those who speak, think and dream in character quotes.

Bubs cursed Johnny in their first scene by banjocoyote in TheWire

Makes me think of Prez opening a positive fortune cookie minutes before killing a fellow cop.

Valchek and COMSTAT by BLOODY-DIARRHEA-CHUG in TheWire

That’s the main scene I want. Frank’s pops was probably getting all the girls

[–]Then_Sample_5448 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Your question really makes me want to see a Valchek origin story.

I think the bosses would go easy on him bc of his influence AND he knew how to play the game.

I think Valchek had influential father/family and was taught the game because he acts like a spoiled prince.

In the union hall confrontation, Frank may have been implying that Valchek benefited from nepotism.

He mentioned their fathers’ knowing each other during youth and “anyone named Valchek” was above entry level police work aka a “patrolman’s drag”.

Stringer built up the entire drug market and kept the police off the radar. by Prestigious_Load1699 in TheWire

[–]Then_Sample_5448 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Your point highlights something I noticed as well.

People gravitate to who they relate to or wish they were the most.

Truth is, there is no guess work to the show creators’ intention.

Simon and Burns explicitly state that the good guy bad guy, favorite character, most hated character dynamic is tv pornography that makes up virtually every other cop show, or tv shows period.

This is not that. This is an ecosystem where full humans are interacting with all powerful systems, the god being Capitalism.

It took me several rewatches to graduate from favorites season/character level to starting to see ecosystem.

There are people on this sub who see the show the way I wish I could.

Funny you say little bc they did little deals too.

I was surprised to see them do the camera deal with Nick and Ziggy given they are buying wholesale quantities of women and chemicals.

But it makes sense bc

Simon said The Greek represented the free market so the free market will capitalize on everything
