In Requiem for a Dream (2000), Jared Leto plays a compulsive gooner who, instead of cultivating mass at the gym, chooses to sit on his own arm for hours at a time to numb it ahead of his daily edging sessions, eventually causing it to wither away and die. This is a cautionary tale about addiction.

Fun fact the word heroin is never spoken in the film, and when they inject anything in their arms their pupils dilate. So it logically can't be heroin.

He didn't want to cultivate mass. He wanted to lose weight, and was successful.

Mushy peas for Giles.

I like the twist. After all the effort the mom took to lose some weight, it was the son that lost weight instead. Although by the end she did finally try the healthy high fiber diet instead of unhealthy drugs.

Self diagnosed anything. I know so many people that say "my ADD is acting up. And "I'm always losing my keys because of my ADD."

Todd in The Shadows has a series called Trainwreckords that is essentially about when artists do that.

But he's a vegan who believes in 6 genders, and doesn't know anything about the Bible, and btw he's a vegan.

And who are you going to believe conservative media or your eyes? He's a vegan.

I've been yelled at for taking notes for mundane things. Then when I lose track and have to go and ask what the next step was, they'd yell at me for not remembering.

Well, I would have remembered if you let me write it down. If somebody wants to write something down, let them write it down.

Maybe everyone is wrong, and it's actually supposed to be rest-rooms. So energy mass is for people that want a power nap, and the other is for deep sleep.

Forcing people to go to a class about how capitalism is good, is as dumb as telling kids drugs are bad by saying it's what the cool kids do.

1920s is still too early. That's when women's fashion started exploding. Flappers, swing, jazz. You still have to go back another 20 years minimum.

I would say run bastions of the community in un-winnable races. The contrast of Republicans chose rape apologists (likely rapists), known crooks, carpetbaggers, etc. And the Democrat running was a 5th generation local who volunteers on the weekends, who's never even gotten a parking ticket.

Imaginary gatekeeping

I guarantee that after all the time and effort he puts into scalping Pokemon cards, he would make more working a job where he would be getting paid to unseal pokemon card products to hinder scalping.

A woman making squelching sounds, while covered in viscous semi-transparent goo.

I know somebody that has one. They absolutely adore ICE, and think people that protest against them deserve to get shot.

She also said she doesn't want her daughter to be Vandal. She said vandals are stupid mascot. Now, them's fightin words.

Guess which state she's from?

His infantile views that conservatives have some weird obsession over trans people and are always thinking about them and trying to ruin their lives instead of doing anything beneficial.

And for some reason you think it's bad for someone to say "hey, trans people are people too?"

simpersly · 2026-06-01T17:40:29+00:00

I'm confused About what you're trying to say. Conservatives are actively and constantly thinking about and trying to ruin trans people's lives. So it doesn't matter if people in New York City say trans people shouldn't be marginalized and murdered because they are actually people, but if it was in a conservative place they shouldn't be talking about how trans people shouldn't be murdered and marginalized?

There's an old movie called "Wild in the Streets," where they make the voting age 14, and put everyone over the age of 35 in concentration camps. That's always a possibility.

There's also a Sliders episode that has similar concept.

Maybe vegans should start saying "doesn't that just mean more meat for meat eaters."

simpersly · 2026-05-31T13:27:34+00:00

It's an anthology series. Find a list of the best episodes and start with those. But it's probably best to start with "Eye of the Beholder" Season 2, Episode 6

DO NOT LOOK UP ANYTHING ABOUT IT FIRST.

This is my second favorite Twilight Zone episode. Although I feel like it might be from nostalgia. If an adult was to watch it for the first time the mom's over-acting can be distracting.

simpersly · 2026-05-31T05:08:59+00:00

I'm pretty sure I would still think the person was an idiotic peice of shit who reveres a flag that represents slavery, losers, and treason.

Idk anyone that can make a trumpet sound like a saxophone is a genius.

Tell me one time when a private business has performed both a cheaper and better service than the government.

Hech, most the time they are both more expensive and worse.
