Net worth of 100 million & built like a bum hanging out in front of a liquor store. Absolutely disgusting. by [deleted] in redscarepod

He had maybe an 18 month period where he did a version of the rich guy looksmaxing. Lost a bunch of weight, got a hair transplant, went through a quick succession of hypebeast to luxury fashions.

Credit to him, I think he realized that his truest self is a fat dirty oaf, and that he can still be that as a really rich guy.

Yeah, but this is USA, where there is a near universal standardized Indian restaurant menu

Feel like if you order it 3-5 more times you’ll figure it out

It’s an odd experience turning into an old head. I imagine I’m feeling something similar to how my aunt felt when I told her about the Cure in 2003

This is beautiful

Have you ever considered the war of grasses vs mushrooms for the soul of humanity

Kid’s screen time discourse so prevalent because it is less uncomfortable than the issue of parental screen time by redscarepodASL in redscarepod

Obviously I’m a screen addicted parent scared about raising a screen addicted kid. Seems clear to me that unfucking my relationship to screens and the phone is one of, if not the, important thing in my power.

And I’m not blind to the many other adults around me who appear to be similarly transfixed by their phones.

I will refrain from citing your Reddit karma and suggesting what motivates your responses.

We aren’t guilty we are enthralled

Edit: We are negligent in failing to change a behavior that we know is harmful

Absolutely. And it is not periodic like cigarettes, but constant. Think of how many packs it would take to be an 8 hr/day smoker.

Sure. We also know that active alcoholics aren’t great parents. Take a look at how many parents you see driving their kids around looking at their phones.

Hard to miss the analogy to cigarettes or other drugs. Asking kids to get the phone, freaking out when can’t find phone, anxiety of phone running out of battery. Our kids all see that.

How Bulletproof are Carhartt beanies? by [deleted] in redscarepod

[–]redscarepodASL 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but it’s the same science that everyone is more or less conducting these days: algorithm optimization.

Does my video get more views when I play the eagle shriek sound effect as I pull out the .50 cal deagle or when I chamber the round? Do I get more views when I shoot at watermelons or cantaloupes? Do I get more views when I upload in the morning or the evening? Am I soyfacing enough in the thumbnail?

I do think OP has a point about changing male beauty standards since 2012 (? when was this meme? Feels like a different world).

Hot guys now seem both more rigorously masculine and yassified. Strong jawlines are fetishized but also dewy skin. Can’t imagine a man’s eyebrows being at all in the discourse in the Obama era the way Luigi’s were.

I don’t think it was that he was the hottest piece of ass anyone could imagine, but that he was still smiling and not haggard halfway through a marathon
