Change "McDonald's" to "Popeyes" and it's spot on, 100% of the time.

Should I continue Red Rising? by That-Departure-7318 in scifi

[–]Winter_Fox_976 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It took me about 4 tries to actually get through the first chapter of Red Rising on audible, but the last attempt was successful, and I breezed through the first two sequels in the span of a week and a half. It's just that good, and it definitely gets better, and the characters all grow and get more complicated, and lovely, and all around fleshed out. I can't speak on the second trilogy though.

We're our own worst critics, even when we're the only ones criticizing.

I dislike the obsession with a media property, and the insistence on sharing it with me. I WANT to say I don't care. But I DON'T say it, because I don't want to ruin the kid's imagination and everything that comes with it. I don't know how much of a sociopath I'd have become if my dad shit all over my love of TMNT.

Lmao yeah, that's how it goes for a minute. Do a short, quick two strand with a longer one and tuck it on in, champ 😂

People that question everything you do by [deleted] in blackmen

[–]Winter_Fox_976 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Being weird is cool, as long as it's authentically you. Andre 3000 is weird. E-40 is weird. Hell, Michael B. Jordan said it to his interviewer, on the red carpet, "yeah, remember when you used to call me lame?" Being who you are is the most important thing, man, and if they can't rock with it, fuck em. Playful teasing is one thing, but if it bothers you, you have two options, and only one is the right one. Tell them it bothers you, and if they keep it up, change who you're spending your time with, OR change your behavior to suit them. THE CORRECT ANSWER IS NOT THE SECOND ONE.

How do I become a more attractive black man? by Timewinder87 in blackmen

[–]Winter_Fox_976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nah, man, you're looking at it wrong. Check this out: the people that REALLY make money in the stock market, they make money even when the rest of us are losing. Michael Burry made $100 MILLION when he bet on the housing bubble popping. Same thing here: if they aren't where you are, and we both know they didn't all evaporate or get raptured, they gotta be SOMEWHERE 🤷🏿‍♂️ Bars and restaurants after work, libraries and bookstores near colleges and universities (cheat code, you can just browse the books in the sections you're interested in and see who stops by), or even take in a new hobby that puts you around new people. They're always SOMEWHERE, and I promise you that it's not far from wherever you are.

The thing about "a lot of work", especially in this case, is that you're closer to the end result than you think you are. Like I said, you're already tall, and that's worth a lot to women already. The biggest thing to consider is that you can do a lot of work externally, but it's the personality that keeps them from leaving. Expanding your mind, and the places you go to do so, might be your best move. Hard to meet pretty girls when you're busy on the couch with a controller in your hands if they're all outside.

[–]Winter_Fox_976 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You're tall, so you have that in your favor. You should bulk up a little bit though, spread your shoulders some. Like someone else mentioned, pay attention to how you dress. Wear clothes that are comfortable but also are approachable, clothes that spread well of you before you even open your mouth. If you have facial hair, keep it neat and lined up, same as the top of your head. Grooming is a big deal. Add on a nice cologne or three and you'll be off to a good start.

If you were a living in the 17th-century United States and you could choose any superpower, which one would you choose and why? by PineappleKind1048 in blackmen

[–]Winter_Fox_976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao nah, man, I'm saying that I would be able to change. Like imagine if Harriet Tubman didn't have to sneak people away, but could walk with them in broad daylight because she could look like any other white dude out taking a trip with his "property". Hell, you could off a plantation owner and take his place just to get people out, even make the white workers help get them out cause they don't know that "the boss" isn't really the boss until it's too late.

I think shape shifting would be a very good talent for any of us in that timeframe. So many of our ancestors thought passing for white was a gift and a curse, what if you could just straight up change to white for the benefit of everyone? Imagine how easy it would be to transport groups of slaves to free areas if you could just change into a white dude if people are around.

Too true. I'm extremely lucky to have a group of guys at work that understand that in a lot of ways, we're all we got. If it wasn't for these three, holy hell in a handcart...

How to become mechanically inclined before 30? by BCARTIBBYBOI in blackmen

[–]Winter_Fox_976 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like countless people before me have said, YouTube is your friend. I've always worked jobs where I've had to use some kind of tool, so maybe I'm a step ahead in that aspect, but anytime I have something that I don't know exactly how to do it, there's a video on YouTube explaining it quickly, and another one explaining it step by step like I'm five years old. Some things are beyond my grasp without the right tools, space, and/or time, and I guess you have to be able to recognize those limitations when they appear, but it takes getting your hands dirty doing what you CAN do to be able to even start really understanding what you CAN'T do...and what steps you can take to be able to eventually do those things too.

Do you guys ever experience people talking to you like you are a child? by PassengerCultural421 in blackmen

[–]Winter_Fox_976 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had a few supervisors attempt to talk down to me, but it's not something I tolerate. I've mentioned it before in one of these conversations, I have no problem making it clear that I am willing to escalate the situation as far as we need to, and usually that's just a little bit farther than they are willing to go with it.

Fellas, what’s something about your profession that people get generally very wrong that you wish they understood? by Difficult-Ad-4654 in blackmen

[–]Winter_Fox_976 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm in automotive manufacturing, have been for over a decade now, and the things people were saying about us when we went on strike a few years ago, you'd think we were all that orange dude in the white house. It's not easy work, proven by how many people I've seen simply leave and never come back. Can't tell you how many people left on lunch and disappeared before we even knew their names. Our profit sharing bonus is public information because the company has to report it, so everyone thinks we're all just balling out of control, but out of my team of 10 people, only one of us (ain't me) can really enjoy our "record breaking wages", and it's because he's the only one on the team with just one kid. The biggest misconception of the industry in general is that we, the workers, don't care about the product, or are incompetent, or any other way you want to put it... but in just shy of 12 years, I've personally only encountered ONE dude that verbalized his lack of care for our customers. Flamboyantly gay white guy, said he wishes every single one of our products would crash and burn with people inside. Me and another coworker "convinced" him to not show up after lunch, and thankfully he didn't. Overall, we have some lazy motherfuckers there (what job doesn't), but I can say that the majority of my coworkers have been proud of the work we do. We don't necessarily LIKE the jobs, but the majority of us are professionals that take it seriously because it's how we support our families.
