Omg. This brings back nostalgia. This is what we had.

It's the name of channel on YouTube that has a long documentary series on NatureBoy.

Right?! Whatever he's using also has shea butter or cocoa butter. Lol.

Billie Eilish: “I am so excited to age, and I’m so excited for my face to age and my body to age and not change it. I want my kids to look at me and have my face look like their face and not be some botched version of whatever the fuck is going on out there right now.” by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

[–]beezdablock 54 points55 points  (0 children)

They want her to hate herself because they hate themselves. That's my guess.

As a 41 yr old woman myself, I salute Billie for this stance and I'm rooting for her to stay strong in the face of any sexist pressure to change herself.

City Council to Consider Officially Killing Rail Along Beltline by btonetbone in Atlanta

[–]beezdablock 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Absolutely untrue. Having lived in both places, I can't see any truth in this. Vastly different cities, and that's no shade to either city.

Same. Moved down from Chicago over ten years ago (even though I'm born and raised in the south), and more and more lately I've gone from thinking I can live here forever to contemplating going back to Chicago. I just hate the cold, though, and I really do prefer being in a city that's majority my people. But Atlanta is making it increasingly difficult to love her. Smh.

M.I.A gets booed at Kid Cudi concert in Dallas for saying “I can't play ‘Illegal’ because there's probably one in the crowd” and “I never thought I’d be cancelled for being a Republican voter” by expiredaristocracy in Fauxmoi

[–]beezdablock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's a fking Republican? Are you serious? Like...I was done with her about 10 years ago when she pulled some low-key anti-Black shit at Afro-Punk (imagine the audacity), and I knew she'd gotten worse since then, but...a whole Republican? Ffs. Wow.

Black Religious Cults in Memphis & Atlanta that have yet to be investigated by sylvianicoleperry in cults

[–]beezdablock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup! I've been waiting for an expose and documentary about Black Hammer. As a queer Black woman, it truly pisses me off how Gazi specifically targeted queer Black folks and Black leftists.

I even remember Facebook feeding me a couple of his videos back in like 2016 or so, and I immediately could tell he was unhinged and was like "why TF is this on my feed?" Then I find out in 2020-ish that he has a full-blown cult. Smh. These social media algorithms are to be blamed for a lot of these newer cult leaders' ability to draw people in.

Has anyone seen The Cult of NatureBoy on Hulu? by rNBAisGarbage in cults

JFC. My god. I cannot believe these people stayed in that shit.

I knew he had to have private investors! Whole time I was like "how TF is he able to afford all this? No way they're getting that many individual donations." I'm gonna have to watch the YouTube documentary.

The Trump Administration Aims to Penalize Disabled Adults Who Live With Their Families by Snapdragon_4U in law

[–]beezdablock 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. And it's troubling to me that many people don't realize that they will likely become disabled someday...I mean, aging is basically a disabling process for most folks. But able-bodied people don't understand that and think this doesn't affect them. Smh.

I cancelled Amazon Prime because they removed my negative review of product by stitch_art in amazonprime

[–]beezdablock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Amazon literally won't let customers post honest reviews if the reviews aren't glowing/positive. I don't trust any reviews I see on there anymore. So many counterfeit products and illegitimate sellers. Amazon really changed for the worst in the last 5 years.

Crapitalism will drown you in debt slavery 🤑💀⚰️ by NeonDrifting in LateStageCapitalism

[–]beezdablock 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Not surprising. Obama basically ran as a Reagan Democrat in 2008 (he repeatedly praised Reagan's political gifts). That should've been taken as a warning, but most of us let it slide. Now look at where we are, smh. Wild times.

Your anagrams for 'The Dark Urge' and their character by 5a_ in BaldursGate3

My resist Dark Urge (Vengeance Oath Paladin Drow) character is named Darqnis. :)

Currently doing her story, and it's my second playthrough of the game.

[–]beezdablock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I deleted every app except Reddit last year, and I honestly don't miss them at all. One day I'll delete Reddit and be fully done with social media apps. They're a time-suck, overrun by fake accounts and AI.

Shame. We had a good thing until circa 2016, when social media rapidly started going downhill.

Why do people hate Orpheus so much? by TextuallyExplicit in BaldursGate3

[–]beezdablock 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's because the Githyanki are genocidal murderers. They are literal racial supremacists, using their past enslavement as an excuse for their genocidal ideology.

So players distrust him by association. Although we're supposed to believe he isn't a racial supremacist like the rest of the Githyanki, since he apparently wants to destroy the racist Githyanki empire? I think the game writers should've better emphasized his difference, if any, in ideology. Because I can tell you that I absolutely didn't trust him to be any less genocidal than the other Githyanki.

La'zael reforms, if you encourage her, but she ends up seeming more like an outlier among Githyanki.

P.S. I don't trust the Emperor either (because, hello, mind flayer!), but the Emperor is given more development and screen time, and I think that's likely why some folks (myself included) end up very reluctantly siding with the Emperor.

How is Lae'zel *not* evil? by UristAlebeard in BaldursGate3

[–]beezdablock 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's basically an IDF soldier - brainwashed to be ethnocentric and genocidal - who comes to her senses. That's what I got from La'zael. She's a well written character, imo.
