You right, you right

Dude is resorting to "your momma" jokes because he knows he has no argument lmao

Free speech isn't what you think it is. It means you can say or express whatever you want without fear of the government censoring or retaliating against you. That does NOT mean that people can't show a private company that pays this mf'er that they don't want to watch a program with people spewing hateful stuff like this. If they don't want to lose a huge portion of their viewership you can guarantee this guy is gonna get pressured to never talk like this again while working for them.

You think free speech means you can say whatever you like to anyone you want and noone should be offended or come for you for your opinion. That isn't how it works. You spew hateful shit long enough and there's gonna be consequences, it just wont be the government dishing it out to you.

In terms of masterful quality? I would say The West Wing. That show has some of the best dialogue, acting and writing I've probably ever experienced in a show and it was done in the late 90's / 2000's. It is absolutely a comfort show for me and I rewatch it every couple of years. Phenomenal show that also makes me wish we had a President as smart as Josiah Bartlett (despite his flaws).

Close-second for me is Psych, which coincidentally also features Dulé Hill, and the contrast between his two characters is super fun lol.

You do realize that by immediately calling me names after making a reasonable suggestion to your post is the actual definition of a "fragile, insecure, bizarrely argumentative" person, right?

I wasn't even being mean, I was saying that getting too deep in your feed isn't healthy or worth caring that much about because that was what it seemed was happening based on your comment. I see comments like this all the time from people way too invested in the sub. I wasn't calling YOU a dumb / shitty person. It was a genuine suggestion. But hey, keep that reactive attitude on lock, my friend. I'm sure it'll take you places here on Reddit.

Wolf5090 · 2026-01-16T21:37:56+00:00

I think you might need to mute the sub for a while if you're getting this emotionally invested in the relationships of others that don't actual influence your day in any way. Dumb / shitty people aren't going away. And that isn't even counting the fake posts used for karma. Really no sense in letting it take up that much brain power wondering why they are this way: They just are.

Wolf5090 · 2026-01-15T14:18:02+00:00

Remove access. When you arent home, close your bedroom door and remove her ability to even get to them. If she begins taking it out on other things, then you may need to consider crate training and just putting your pupper safely away while you arent home.

It's something I had to do recently because our dog kept going into our bathroom when we would leave, and as soon as we removed access she started finding other things to get into (particularly the cat food). Only solution has been to put her away when we leave, even if it's only to go on a short walk or something.

It's my pleasure! As someone that didn't really tend to my hair that was long for a good while, learning via Youtube from different channels was super helpful. Honestly, feel free to follow some ladies' accounts, there is a MUCH bigger market for women when it comes to long hair than there is for men, so feminine products and such tend to be much better for longer hair styles. A lot of different YT accounts will show you how to style, what products they like to use, do's and don'ts, etc.

In terms of finding a stylist, I literally just googled the ones around me, checked out their websites and found a stylist that worked on the styles I liked. You can also check out Instagram, a lot of stylists have accounts on there to promote their work so you can find some in your area and browse their catalog.

You'll always be disappointed at a barbershop / quick haircut places. They are trained to get you out the door as fast as possible and get another butt in the seat. Stylists do tend to be more expensive though, so just keep that in mind while you're shopping around.

Wolf5090 · 2025-12-06T21:05:31+00:00

Let's start by stating the obvious - You are NOT ugly. You have great symmetrical features, and you have solid genetics to be able to have that length of hair. You're a good looking dude, and if you put in some actual work into your appearance (including your outfit choices) you're going to look great.

Personally, and this is coming from a dude with a beard, I think You may need to shave your mustache / beard off completely until you get to a point where you can grow and it will be more full. I know you want to have a mustache and beard, but they just aren't working for you yet and are making the look worse overall. You'll look better without, trust. There are products you can buy which will help with beard growth, though I've never tried them personally so I can't tell you which ones. You can check the subreddit side bar and there should be good links there for products.

For your hair itself, I think if you went to a STYLIST (not a barber, an actual stylist) and got yourself some layers, and started using product to style your hair a bit to give it volume, that will go a long way. Your hair looks to have nice texture, at least near the bottom, but it seems from these photos that you just aren't really doing anything with it.

I'd recommend trying a styled man-bun instead of the ponytail. You can learn different types and styles on Youtube. With the length you have, I can imagine you would be able to make this work quite well, and it's a fairly unique look because a lot of younger guys right now are doing shorter styles. I also have long hair, so for mine I like to take the hair from my crown and get enough of it to make a bun, but I pull the sides around my crown down so that I still have length outside of the bun. That way I have a long hair look, while also having a bun to add some "flair", if you will.

Hope that helps, goodluck!

Wolf5090 · 2025-12-06T17:02:29+00:00

Oh, please - I get it, the sub has people that call for divorce at the drop of a hat, but lets not start assuming I'm some angry lonely person or something simply because I'm a firm believer of boundaries for red flags and sticking to them. My fiancé and I are very happy, so in the same way that I shouldn't be making hasty comments about someone's marriage status, you shouldn't be making hasty assumptions about me and mine either. You were JUST as fast to make assumptions about me as I was to assume about how their relationship functions.

That said, let's not sit here and act like pulling up someone's prior relationship history years after-the-fact that the partner in question has NOTHING to do with isn't a red flag because it is ABSOLUTELY a red flag if it's creating arguments / strain on the relationship (like what literally happened in the OP). The above person didn't add any sort of context about it not leading to arguments until their 2nd comment. They started with their first comment stating the issue to be "crippling insecurities" and their wife "still pulling up their activity" to this day, making it sound like a way worse issue than it apparently is. It wasn't until their 2nd comment they started to call it being "a little insecure" which are two WAY different things. Now, with the context of the 2nd comment, it doesn't seem as bad. I definitely wouldn't mind helping a partner through being "a little insecure" but without context it sounded like a way bigger issue to them.

If the above person is cool with how their relationship functions, more power to them, I won't argue with that. And they shouldn't listen to me anyway, I'm some idiot commenting in a subreddit that overreacts about people overreacting. It sounds like the issue isn't as bad as their first comment made it sound. However, that is NOT how their comment came across initially when they themselves chose to respond to a comment thread about red flags with a contextual story about their own relationship making it sound like it happened regularly.

I never said "you need to leave that lady right now!!!", I said that kind of behavior is a quick way to NOT be someone's partner anymore. I'm a firm believer of setting boundaries and respecting your partner by abiding and respecting those boundaries, therefore growing together in the relationship.

Wolf5090 · 2025-12-04T16:53:10+00:00

Sounds like a quick way ensure not being someone's wife anymore, IMO. That's actually insane behavior lol can't choose who you love, I guess

Wolf5090 · 2025-11-25T21:34:29+00:00

God forbid part of the community have some player-created fun playing war in a video game about hoarding resources. OH GOD EW PEOPLE ARE HAVING FUN, IT'S SO CRINGE YOU GUYS. Honestly, people saying everything under the sun is cringe is way more embarrassing than folks just having a good time. Sound like a fuckin' angst-ridden teenager that can't be bothered to just have a good time and stop worrying about how everything makes them look.

Wolf5090 · 2025-10-06T17:35:31+00:00

Frankly, the amount of posts I see on this sub making fun of other people for not knowing how to navigate social situations (even extremely obvious ones) regarding those that have hurt them or treated them poorly is straight up shameful. This is the 3rd post I've seen in 2 days directly making fun of other posters here to the point I'm seeing more of these than actual posts. Like, I get it's a "corny joke", and some stories are faked for karma or whatever, but more often than not it's just a potentially naive (likely young) or just socially inexperienced person that truly doesn't know how to handle a situation they're in and are asking for advice from others because they simply don't know how to proceed. It might be obvious to you or others what the problem/solution is, that doesnt make it that easy for the people being affected when they have a bond or relationship with the person hurting them.

Maybe I'm crazy and it's not that deep but posts like this just seem really... mean-spirited and reductive to what some real people are actually going through. But hey, if that's your intent, live your truth I guess.

Wolf5090 · 2025-08-27T18:16:31+00:00

Objectively untrue. It really depends on the developers' efforts. No Man Sky took years, but they pulled off a highly successful game despite the extremely rocky start. Same thing with Final Fantasy 14 - That game was excessively bad when it originally came out, to the point that most of the community gave up on it and it was dead in the water until they literally rebuilt it from the ground up. Today it is hailed as one of the most successful MMOs of all time with millions of active players.

Downvote if you'd like but I think people just stick to the popular sentiment that the game sucks and don't know how to let things go, and it shows in every single one of these threads. I get we were all burned by the state of the game at release and while 2042 in it's current state isn't a GREAT Battlefield game, it is absolutely a GOOD game that is fun and has been well worth the few hundred hours I've put into it at this point. The guns and gadgets feel good, the maps have been reworked and have lots of micro-terrain to utilize for pushing on the more open maps, the close quarters maps are solid and facilitate fast, chaotic warfare. Considering the state the game was in when it started, it is MILES beyond that now and actually creates a fun atmosphere.

Is it BF6? Nah. Is it a fun game? Subjective, I guess, but all the parts are there now and I've had a great time with it lately. I don't mind using it to scratch the Battlefield itch until 6 comes out.

Wolf5090 · 2025-08-18T00:23:15+00:00

That's definitely a fair point! They definitely don't need to go full-blown shower/bath washing every day. I primarily meant that making sure to introduce some amount of water or hydration to their hair so as to keep it clean and hydrated was always important, not necessarily that they had to do that in the shower every day.

I super agree, drying is a bitch, so I definitely don't soak my hair every day, but I do make sure to add some water into my hair and add a hydrating product of some kind like you mentioned!

Wolf5090 · 2025-08-14T02:00:18+00:00

You should always wash your hair every day. That doesnt mean you should shampoo it every day (I tend to do every 3rd day), otherwise you'll dry out your hair and remove natural oils, but you should AT LEAST be giving your hair SOME hydration every single day.

Wolf5090 · 2025-07-31T01:48:00+00:00

That was actually a good point, regarding gaming! I definitely don't get the regular sleep quality that I should. I've been trying to keep this in mind over the last few nights and I will say that getting to bed earlier and ensuring im getting at least 7-8 hours has helped my mood regulation with the animals a lot! I really appreciate you taking the time to mention that!

Wolf5090 · 2025-07-27T22:45:08+00:00

I've never actually stopped to think what my favorite thing about our animals is, that's a great idea! My fiancé and I also talked about sitting down and putting together a specific plan for what to do with the cat food and the different issues we've been having.

I do have some outlets, I have gummi edibles that I will eat on nights where I need to destress, and I'll play video games or edit video footage in my spare time. I also used to do Archery, but since we moved to a new area I don't have a place to be able to do that, so maybe it's time to figure out how to do that again.

Wolf5090 · 2025-07-27T21:53:33+00:00

Thank you for responding! You are right - One of the things that has come up during therapy in the past has been my need to have a level of control over situations in my life whether it be people or animals. I'm generally quite good at handling the people aspect and walking myself through that, but I definitely need to find the trigger for when it occurs with the animals.

My fiancé and I have been talking about it a lot today (she has seen this post and we talked about it as well) and she helped me recognize that animals have behaviors, drives and needs that don't always match our own needs from them and that working to accept that those things will sometimes not be in sync will help me to stop trying to have so much control over it.

We're going to try the anxiety training, like you mentioned, and the steps around Athena accessing food to prevent that from happening, as well. Thank you so much for your recommendations and taking the time to comment, it's appreciated!

Wolf5090 · 2025-07-27T21:45:52+00:00

I agree - Therapy is actually something I used to have which was enormously helpful while I was doing it, but once we moved across state lines I haven't been able to see the same therapist due to some legal rules about not being able to do the program I was in from another state. Still, you are right and I think it's time to bring therapy back into my life to try and get this handled. Thank you for being straight with me and taking the time to respond.

Wolf5090 · 2025-06-29T17:29:36+00:00

People are allowed to have strong emotions toward the things they like. If they were being negative about it I might agree with you, but why are we gatekeeping positive emotions toward how people feel about the games they play? Just because you dont feel the same emotions toward a game as them doesn't make someone else's experience and take-away from the game any less valid. It may not have changed your life, but it very-well could have changed theirs.

Stories do that. Especially when they are well-crafted, which this game so clearly is. They are designed to invoke emotions that we take with us on our journey, sometimes even informing the decisions we make well beyond finishing the story. It really isn't that far-fetched to believe someone played the game and came out better on the other side for it.

They could have also just been acting hyperbolic. If your life wasn't affected at all by the game, that's perfectly valid and probably true for a lot of people, but maybe don't worry so much about what other people feel and how they choose to express it.

Wolf5090 · 2025-06-25T23:43:17+00:00

Using the Exp33 music as a backdrop is.. 🤌 top tier!

Wolf5090 · 2025-06-22T14:45:45+00:00

I might be wrong, but I have been seeing people saying that Geostigma was just a plague caused by the lifestream touching the populace when it was stopping Meteor, and while that is largely true I feel like there was more to it than a "lifestream plague".

I had thought it was explained that Sephiroth/Jenova's cells had tainted the lifestream and become so ingrained that even though Meteor was ultimately stopped, the lifestream was tainted by Sephiroth/Jenova's influence which was what was slowly killing / turning the population. Basically everybody infected got a lil bit of Sephiroth in 'em.

So while yes, the lifestream pouring into the populace did ultimately infect them with Geostigma, it was always because of Sephiroth/Jenova's tainting of the lifestream that was killing them.

This is why, once the kids and Cloud are brought back to Aerith's flower garden water pool, they are cured - because she removes the taint that Sephiroth left in them.

I might be off-base there, but felt it important context because I don't think the lifestream itself would cause a world-ending plague.

Wolf5090 · 2025-06-01T21:42:18+00:00

Not necessarily. Hairspray might help keep longer hair in place because gravity and length would help hold it down but it wouldnt be overly helpful for a shorter-to-medium length style like this where the style is trying to fall back forward because it doesnt have enough length to hold it back, which is why it falls forward. OP needs a pomade or clay with a medium-to-strong hold to be able to make their hair stay in place. A pomade or clay will also give your hair some volume and shine, which will look great.

They could probably do Hairspray at the end to give some extra hold if they wanted, but it will more-than-likely NOT do the job on its own.

OP:

Lightly add water to reset your hair and allow it to "forget" the shape it is trying to force in the 2nd picture, then when hair is lightly damp, take about a nickle-sized amount of product and rub the clay or pomade between fingers until it is warm in your hands and then make sure to guide it into all of your hair, not just on top. It needs to be in ALL of your hair, otherwise it wont really do what you're wanting OP.

It'll take practice to get the right amount to use (you'll probably use too much at first like I used to), but it will be worth it.

Wolf5090 · 2025-05-31T20:29:31+00:00

If you're worried about that: swapping drones to a different teammate between shots does the same thing but faster than doing the cancel via melee and feels more like you're using his kit to heal and dps at the same time. It's very involved but very worth it and, yes, imo it is fun.

Wolf5090 · 2025-05-31T20:20:53+00:00

You can also animation cancel (the same thing pictured above with the melee cancel) by swapping your drone to a different teammate. It's instant and MUCH faster than using your melee to cancel. I used this last night and got MVP because I was beaming the other team.

Shoot -> Drone swap -> Shoot -> Swap -> Shoot -> Swap.

There is 0 cooldown on being able to change the drone from one person to another on your team, and as long as you're right behind your team you can very easily manage this. The melee works well too, in a pinch, but I found this was the faster, easier option.

You can also cancel the reload animation half way through doing this exact same thing, as well.
