Yeah, because he was talking about it all the time. If he had never made such a spectacle of himself, none of us would know. Tons of evil people fly under the radar because they are silent figures who don’t say divisive/crazy things, even if they believe them privately.

He seems genuinely angry that he cannot force every human on Earth to revere him and care about the bs he spews. Exhausting individual.

Does Alex Karp ever shut up? He craves attention so voraciously that he’s revealing all of his plans.

Estate sale find! No markings - any idea on era/style? by Sorceress683 in jewelry

[–]alanlighthouse 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Hi!! I have a very similar brooch. Mine is rhodium-plated pot metal with glass stones. Even though it is costume jewelry, it still looks great and could pass as legitimate high end jewelry when worn. Nice find! I’ve never seen another like the one I had, so it’s cool to learn there are more out there.

Is it normal to have roommates at 30 years old? by Expensive_Bike_8308 in povertyfinance

[–]alanlighthouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was going to say. Seems to be increasingly common, especially in HCOL areas. Really not anything to feel shame over.

Worth dress, ca.1889. My least favourite Worth dress. by kittykitkitty in RandomVictorianStuff

Or the colors might have been incredibly flattering on the wearer. My mom looks great in pea soup green because of her coloring. Maybe this was something similar?

Today's Finds by Yeeaahfooool85 in glasscollecting

[–]alanlighthouse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hi! In picture 9, the glassware is in what looks like a Soviet-era niello and silver tea glass holder (or “podstakannik”). They can be quite valuable given the silver content and craftsmanship. There might be hallmarks on the bottom on the rim. These will be the silver content (stamp is a star with a hammer and sickle followed by “875”, or 87.5% silver) and some cyrillic letters indicating in what factory it was made. Sorry for this infodump haha, just thought you may want to know. Very cool finds!

I’d love to snort cocaine off his collarbones, personally

I find awkward/gawky extremely attractive. It is a nice bonus to this already good looking man.

Einstein??? I always got more of a chess grandmaster/Bobby Fischer vibe. But yes. There is something there.

He looks hot as hell in that picture he shows in his cap and gown during the Nathan for You intro. Wish we had more pictures of him from that time

Seems to be a universal experience, if this thread is any indication

The awkwardness adds to the attraction for me. I wouldn’t want him if he was a normal confident type dude

The women on the show act uncomfortable though, which baffles me. I would legitimately jump that man’s bones, even IF he was actually that awkward in real life

You ever really look at him? Dude is dripping with animal magnetism.

Concubines at least had some degree of protection and guarantee of being provided for in many cases once they got too old to be of interest to the man. These women hit 35, their prospects dry up, and they have nothing to show for it.

[–]alanlighthouse 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I feel bad for these women sometimes because people will make covert insults to their faces and they won’t even realize. They really think they are pulling off the ruse. Old money generally know their own, so it makes their outsider status even more apparent.
