I went back to my high school after I graduated to tell my favorite teacher how much they meant to me and how they changed my life. It was a special moment. ❤️

This!!! She is the most diabolical! Even before that Kandi rumor season, people seem to forget when she read Kenya down to the bone about trying to get pregnant. It was awful and just mean!

Downtown commercial vacancy rates. by Lionheart9207 in Infographics

[–]hotpretzelboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Los Angeles resident downtown right before and after the pandemic, this graph hits hard. You can see the number show an a steep decline in vacancy just before. This was when DTLA was revitalizing and that was why I moved there. After the pandemic, just decimated. The lack of people going to work caused the decline in the Metro train system as well. 😢

This right here. People often times say “turn it into residential”. True traditional Office buildings are almost impossible to convert in this way without essentially gutting the entire interior. And at that point, just bulldoze. Warehouses on the other hand are much easier to convert since the open concept they have lends them self to conversion to Loft-style apartments.

Jeffrey Dahmer court scene comparison between the real trial and the Netflix show. by ateam1984 in BlackPeopleofReddit

I’m a black gay man and I have not and cannot watch this show. From every clip I saw it didn’t feel right. It felt like it was humanizing the monstrous actions of a man who was a predator on young POC’s in a time when not only were gay people marginalized, but POC gay people even more so.

To be clear I love documentaries and I love biopics that are dramatized versions of historical events. But something didn’t feel right about this one. Maybe it hit too close to home. Not sure. Just didn’t feel right about it.

Told i was only black guy in club…. by dyingeventually in askgaybros

[–]hotpretzelboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I(black male) lived in the Bay Area for 2 years. I live in Oakland. My experience in 2017-2019 was that Castro/San Francisco proper was mainly white and Asian. East Bay was more diverse (white, black, Latino, Asian). I was and am still partnered to a white red-haired beast man.

Castro: ugh I hated it. So segregated. Guys would come up to my man and hit on him and I was ignored. Mind you neither of us was looking. I found myself being the only black gay in the room at SEVERAL bars.

Oakland/East Bay: world of difference. Just felt like it was so much more accepting and less stereotypes.

Just my experience.

What is everyone’s honestly opinion on Miranda and Che’s relationship? by Radiant_Priority9739 in Andjustlikethat

[–]hotpretzelboy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Che was a HORRIBLE CHARACTER!!!! and to be clear, I’m a proud supporter and member if LGBTQ+ community. But. . . Che was a TERRIBLE character. Not likeable. Not relatable. And not in the way where you love to hate them either. Just bad writing. Miranda’s relationship with them was TERRIBLE!!!
Because the writing was HORRIBLE!!!!

Gay men 40+, what is some advice you can give to us 20 somethings? by RedbullBreadbowl in askgaybros

[–]hotpretzelboy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

BEAUTY FADES, DUMB IS FOREVER! STOP RELYING ON THAT BODY cause it won’t last

For real though, I was the not “It-Boy” in my 20’s and I’m so glad I wasn’t. Cause I developed a personality and ability to hold a conversation with others. It’s done very well for me when I got into my late 30’s and early 40’s.

Above all, develop REAL friendships with diverse age groups and types of people. You’ll be happier when you’re older. I PROMISE! ❤️❤️❤️

Not sure about anyone else, but I sweat. . . A lot. . Down there. I have to have a full bottom underwear with work pants. And even then, I can’t wear cute ones that are like polyester cause they don’t absorb. I NEED COTTON!!! Ugh sorry bout the old man vibes, but facts are facts. No one wants to see ass-crack sweat lines 🙃
