It’s one of the worst kind of inequality which women don’t (or rarely) ever examine and question if it’s compatible with modern ideas
Would I get a tattoo, no? Do I like them on others? Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
I have never thought that they were particularly creative, if anything I always felt quite the opposite.
That feeling was confirmed when I was invited to a tattoo expo with a friend, there were perhaps 70 exhibitors, and all of them had the exact same or highly derivative trendy designs, and I think two of the exhibitors had unique art. That really said a lot to me.
1997 was the year of Linux on the desktop.
Also 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023
2024 baby! I can feel it.
As brutal as it is to say, people like that have forfeited any determination on their future once they commit such an antisocial act.
The only barber that was ever able to cut my insane hair passed away after an unsuccessful liver transplant and it was at that point I purchased my own professional clippers.
Having bad haircuts my whole life until I found her is literally a point of trauma that I’ve not recovered from and I’m 49 years old now.
I have no idea, it was one of the most vapid, least memorable movies I’ve seen.
Edit: and I completely stayed out of the hype bubble for Avatar as well, completely avoiding all exposure to it unless completely inescapable. I finally watched the movie for the first time 6 months ago, I can honestly say it was among the worst pieces of shit I’ve seen in 10 years. And the CGI and overall design of the world was weak.
This is a movie I totally stayed out of the hype bubble for.
I literally watched it the very last day it was in theaters, I think it had an 8-month run.
3 out of 10 movie.
Oh no dinosaurs!
Oh we’re safe…
Oh no more dinosaurs!
Oh we’re safe again!
Dinosaurs!!!
… That’s the movie.
Weird how nobody had “genetic obesity” during the time food was more scarce and the daily caloric intake was half of today’s.
160 kg at 180cm would have this man touring as “The world’s fattest man” 100 years ago.
Something to think about.
I agree.
Sometimes I wonder if it’s the modern, absurd extension of the stage makeup concept, taken to the extreme.
My ex-wife was a professional dancer, and her stage makeup made her look absolutely insane in person. But under stage lighting, it looked amazing.
Sometimes I wonder if cosmetic surgery was initially incorporated as something that would bring more popularity or work to an actor, because it would make them look more striking under the absurd, unreal lighting conditions of tv and film.
And that this has gotten completely carried away. Especially now, since nearly all cinema is greenscreen with scenery digitally added later. Which brings a tremendous amount of lighting incongruity, so we end up needing block-like, exaggerated, un-contoured faces, slathered in 42 layers of stage makeup, to look “proper” under these conditions.
I don’t know if this is totally out to lunch or not.
It’s more sinister than that, not only did this person go out of their way to be a complete jerk, they spent the whole evening editing their posts and replies, just to provoke conflict.
You are being trolled, this person made a humongous ruckus and pissed everybody off, and insulted everybody, and is acting like he has no idea what’s going on.
If anybody was a candidate to be permanently nuked from the internet, it’s people like the guy you’re responding to.
It’s not an easy job being a moderator, no matter how egregious the behavior is, it’s always a difficult decision.
I think though this user has pretty convincingly revealed their underlying motivations, by way of their various posts and their behavior therein.
I was checking the “strength” post in a weird voyeuristic way, just to see the downvotes and look at the squabbling.
Each time I came back, I noticed that they had completely revised the entire post content, along with many of their comments.
The entire thing reeked of bait, trolling, mean-spirited sarcasm… All blended with what seemed to be, at least to me, a very bizarre fixation and fetish-like fascination about a specific topic.
For all the extremely valid criticism Reddit gets, at the very least one of the things they did rock-solid was giving moderators tools to deal with users who were acting in bad faith or outright abusively. For example, they made it extremely easy to automatically filter posts from untrusted new users until they had passed a certain threshold, or other ways to limit their exposure until they had established themselves as part of the community.
I’m not sure how robust, or even what set of tools you have available on this platform.
Whatever you can do to help us participants of this community, I know that I would personally thank you and appreciate it. Sometimes the answer is to ignore these people though, not necessarily bans, because in a way that gives these social deviants what they’re after in the first place.

It’s time to ban this person.
As a kid, we used to go along the train tracks and pick up pieces of coal that tumbled out of the cars.
Coal heating was very common especially in the more remote regions of my area, until the late '70s.
These are neither popular opinions, nor unpopular opinions.
They’re not even opinions. Your personal taste preference is not an opinion.
The same way you fix a car, first you figure out what’s wrong, then you fix it.
I don’t even understand the question, really.
I think we’d be fucked, basically.
Don’t forget that the valuable peanut oil is separated hydraulically which fractures the peanut meal, and then they add back cheaper soybean oil.
(Side note: That’s why it separates, and that’s why even organic peanut butter separates, it’s because it’s been hydraulically fractured)
In my opinion, the only peanut butter that is worth a damn is fresh crushed from unsalted roasted peanuts.
