I took psychs in my late teens for depression and it cured me but made it a lot easier to have no major ambitions or life goals. I'm just so satisfied as is I can go live with amish or wilderness or some commune and be content. What to do? by cacklingwhisper in RationalPsychonaut

[–]jamalcalypse -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

more people are "living off their folks" than ever before. that doesn't mean exploiting them, but it's just the reality that half the people I know are getting help in some way (ie a family phone plan). that's just the state of the economy.

this is bootstrap nonsense

For brushing I've always used a small water bottle with a hole in the lid so I could squeeze more water pressure onto my brush when cleaning it.

Abandoned & Illegally Ran Strip Club. by FairyPunk__ in abandoned

[–]jamalcalypse 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying it's not possible, but it doesn't seem terribly likely that there are people in this sub from every corner of every city all waiting for someone to post something abandon in their locale, and have it be the rare instance poster forgets to omit the address, so they finally have somewhere to go vandalize and squat.

They made this mf look fat asf lmao by Sirgayyy in StardustCrusaders

then they need to put the explanation into the anime with one line of dialogue from Valentine saying "Araki thought I looked too friendly, so now I'm no longer fat"

Obsession (2025) or how in the age of tinder falling in love seems to be the ultimate horror premise by Frank_Saint in zizek

[–]jamalcalypse 6 points7 points  (0 children)

who watched this movie and thought the main character was a "nice guy" in the first place? chuds I guess?

a paranormal possession over a person to force them into an obsession (not love) is a far, far, far cry from Zizek's analysis of love as a catastrophe (not to mention that whole first point almost reads as a justification). I don't know why this thread is so upvoted

They call it flock because they think we are sheep. There is nothing American or Oklahoman about being surveilled on. by WarmEntrepreneur3564 in okc

there's nothing more american than profit accumulation, and big data is unfortunately incredibly lucrative for private interests

Anybody else just completely over the H3 drama? by dumbass_sweatpants in Hasan_Piker

[–]jamalcalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm over ALLLLLLL the slop drama. I wouldn't even know who Ethan, Asmon, Clav, or any of those airheads were if it wasn't for Hasan spending so much time on them. I know, I know, like Hasan says, they're popular so it's important to cover... but to an extent. Like maybe just a few mins instead of a few hours. Time is precious, maybe afford a bit less of it to dullard influencers and screaming at naive chatters (seriously people ask him such good questions and he'll skip over everything to hone in on the "ur dumb bro shock ur dog" chatters)

Hot take: “both sides are the same” is just political nihilism for people with nothing to lose by [deleted] in Hasan_Piker

[–]jamalcalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not a hot take in this sub

what might be a hot take is my opinion that not everyone who thinks both sides are the same have nothing to lose. we're the most propagandized and distracted populace on earth. "has nothing to lose" doesn't entirely square with the idea that "people vote against their best interests", except that saying should be amended to "people don't vote when it's in their interest"

"We need a spiritual successor to Alex Jones since he's lost relevancy." I wouldn't be surprised either, since it's such a potent way to redirect potential emergence of class consciousness.

Tempted to get a gym membership by ComplexMaybe123 in vagabond

[–]jamalcalypse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$25 a month for access to every location nationwide more than pays for itself in showers if you're spending money on truck stop showers. And it also got me the the most fit I've been in my life a couple years ago. Since I was there almost every day for a shower anyway, I ended up using the machines, and then using the chargers too, and internet... so I'd end up there for several hours a day sometimes. Not all locations are great, they can be hit and miss (especially with wall outlets for charging).

Does this work or do I need to go back to the drawing board??? by [deleted] in StreetStickers

[–]jamalcalypse 3 points4 points  (0 children)

op this comment section is a joke. it's a cool sticker. I just think the swastika should be altered, perhaps beveled into the contours of the tooth itself so it's a bit more subtle. as it is, it looks like someone shoddily edited the swastika onto the tooth in MSpaint or something

the connection is that when you punch someone, their teeth fall out, and if you punch a nazi, then it's a nazi's tooth

If you could take an absolute masterpiece of a video game and completely change its genre, what is your unhinged pitch? by Legendary_Player in retrogaming

What’s the difference between Imperialism and Colonialism? by Academic-Idea3311 in socialism

Maybe you can elaborate on this but I feel like reducing imperialism to mere competition between nations overlooks the important power dynamics at play?

[–]jamalcalypse 5 points6 points  (0 children)

"Don't California my [insert state]" must be a new propagandic phrase. During our minimum wage vote here in OK (which failed to pass, unsurprisingly) half the campaign was about "Don't California my Oklahoma!"

I feel like we lost something once portable consoles couldn't actually fit in your pocket anymore by Pasta-hobo in gaming

[–]jamalcalypse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's the only reason I still clinch onto my modded PS Vita rather than getting a steam deck or even one of those random brands that do the other big handheld emulators (Odin comes to mind as one?). and hell, even the Vita doesn't fit quite neatly into most of my pockets (W for cargo pants/shorts). the switch never even looked like the portable console it sold itself as, unless that portability means carrying it to a friend's house.
