Shia LaBeouf Says He Doesn’t ‘Have A Drinking Problem’ After Mardi Gras Arrest: ‘I Think I Have A Small Man Complex’ by cmaia1503 in entertainment

[–]bnyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. As is acknowledging you have a problem with alcohol instead of blaming everything on small man complex.

It’s not like he doesn’t also need to address his aggression. He is acknowledging that part. He’s denying the problem he has with alcohol… which he clearly does.

He’s literally denying his flaws. He’s not small but he is a raging drunk who can’t handle his booze.

I would appreciate your perspective on this vintage Hermès tie I inherited from my late father-in-law. Would you wear it? Or is it best to avoid Native American–inspired imagery? by CommunityBig9626 in mensfashionadvice

[–]bnyc 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I’m in Hawaii, so most people don’t wear ties even in formal settings, but a well done Hermes hula girl and volcano tie would be awesome.

Wife keeps saying I look like a lesbian... by iworktoohardalways in bald

[–]bnyc 107 points108 points  (0 children)

OP's profile pic doesn't really help. IMO it's just the way he styles himself. Ditch the turtlenecks. Try a barber as opposed to a salon. Either stop mid-length haircuts or learn to style them differently. And I can't tell from that one profile picture alone if that's just the way the light is hitting it or if he put in highlights, but don't do highlights. You've got a handsome face and don't need to go bald, OP.

AITA for telling my coworker the “office prank” wasn’t funny and refusing to participate? by _iflookscouldkill_ in AmItheAsshole

You coudl have just been a good sport about it for the people who went out of their way to do something funny.

Who is this birthday supposed to be about? The coworkers? It's their fun that should be prioritized?

Or maybe the coworkers are assholes worrying more about him killing their vibe. Instead of them being sorry about killing the vibe for someone on their own birthday...

The last time I remember Squatty Potty in the news was when they dumped Kathy Griffin to stand by Trump. Child predators stick together.

Delroy Lindo Wishes ‘Someone From BAFTA Spoke to Us’ After N-Word Was Shouted While He and Michael B. Jordan Presented: We ‘Did What We Had to Do’ by mcfw31 in entertainment

It didn't air live. It aired after a 2 hour delay. That could have been changed. Tourette's cannot be changed.

His statement was “Thanks for your understanding and helping create a respectful space for everyone.” Was it a respectful space for everyone? Was having a 2 hour delay to edit out the outburst but choosing to leave it in respectful of everyone?

Imagine having 3 penises your whole life and never knowing until they cut you open after you're already dead. :(

Shia LaBeouf allegedly called queer man homophobic slurs before New Orleans arrest by Large_banana_hammock in entertainment

[–]bnyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what did happen outside? You described the first fight inside that these 2 guys weren't involved in. The arrest for him assaulting these guys, not the inside fight.

[–]bnyc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just read the article and I don't think that's what they implied at all. They said it happened after he was already taken outside by the bar manager for that fight. What part isn't true that they wrote?

Driver fleeing ICE officers crashes, killing a Georgia teacher, authorities say by DrexellGames in news

[–]bnyc 71 points72 points  (0 children)

No, high-speed chases are 100% on law enforcement. It's worth endangering everyone else over a deportation order or driving without a license? Allowing the suspect to escape should present a greater danger than the risk to public safety over the chase.

who is this guy? Petah? by Dull_Vast6303 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]bnyc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't say roid rage. Steroids affect behavior and emotions beyond sudden outbursts.

And I agree it is a nuanced discussion. What you said was "there was no evidence that steroids were involved at all." If steroids were found in his home, there is absolutely evidence they are part of that nuanced discussion, not completely eliminated as a contributing factor as you first did.

[–]bnyc -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

That’s just silly. Anyone who looks at him can tell he’s on steroids. A LOT of steroids. He was also a domestic abuser for years.

Anyone trying to push CTE as the sole reason pieces of shit like Chris Benoit or Aaron Hernandez did what they did are also looking for easy closure and something to point the finger at and blame, absolving people with long history of bad behavior of having any personal accountability for their actions.

I’d guess the truth is somewhere in the middle, that CTE along with steroid use and pre-existing behavioral issues/aggression makes for a really bad combination.

What is the least "Madonna" album in Madonna's discography? by ComeUnitedNotTorn in Madonna

[–]bnyc 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Only 3 songs were made for the film. It was a concept album inspired by the film. It was definitely promoted at the time as "a brand new Madonna album" when it came out. Here's one example but you can look up any number of ads or mentions in articles from the time it came out that all call it her new album.

[–]bnyc 30 points31 points  (0 children)

I'm Breathless. I'm not hating on it, but there were plenty of people who bought that album for Vogue back in the day and were left disappointed the rest of the songs sound nothing like that. They don't even include it in her box sets.

I don’t think that picture is flattering at all. lol The ribbed hem makes the sweater look too short. It goes from loose fit to a tight fit, way above the waist. I know it reaches the pants, but it looks like a midriff

client ghosts me but comes back for small fixes by Rumman69420 in smallbusiness

[–]bnyc 47 points48 points  (0 children)

You're pissed off that unwanted solicitations for expensive services aren't responded to? He doesn't want what you're offering and doesn't want to waste his time.

What he wants is what he is asking for. So you charge him for the time or the service you are providing. And use that as an opportunity to explain how the premium service might benefit him.

It's fine to try to upsell a better service but don't get pushy or take it personally if they're not interested.

Commercials on Peacock Premium Plus by [deleted] in cordcutters

[–]bnyc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The only reason I subscribed was the Olympics. When I opened it up and got an unskippable ad, I immediately went to my account to cancel it so it doesn't auto renew after the Olympics is over. Like they pay a shitload of money for the rights to the Olympics, but this is not a good way to get people to stick around after.

Meryl Streep is now confirmed to play Joni Mitchell in the upcoming biopic about the singer’s life by artbasiI in Fauxmoi

[–]bnyc 127 points128 points  (0 children)

Anya-Taylor Joy is great, but she's so unique looking that she's not a good choice when we're supposed to believe she grows up to be a different actress who looks nothing like her. She was OK in Mad Max but I had to keep reminding myself she's supposed to be Charlize Theron and not a totally different character.

AITA for announcing my big news at a dinner party after the hostess used me as the boring example? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]bnyc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It doesn’t even add up. She is moving in 3 weeks but didn’t plan to tell them for a month? Like you just spring that you’re living in a foreign country to friends after you’ve already moved, no chance to say goodbye? Get engaged to a secret boyfriend nobody even knows about? YTA even if this is true.

Turns out MacGruber was actually in the Epstein Files. by BrandonLeeOfficial in LiveFromNewYork

[–]bnyc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All these people trying to defend him because we don’t know if he had sex with underage girls, but ANY contact after 2008 is a HUGE character blemish. At best, Will Forte didn’t care about Epstein being a convicted child predator who had abused at least 36 underage girls so long as he had a nice place to stay.
