“Those damn bike lanes, affordable apartments, and light rails.”

For a video about recognizing the ways in which unrealistic or misinformed cultural ideas of attractiveness and masculinity are a huge component in the rise of the incel, black and otherwise, this presenter sure likes to hammer that balding is unattractive. He says "it's fine to be bald" like one time but all of the context clues and intended humor suggest that he is entirely aware that this is widely viewed negatively in the domain of attractiveness and is using it in the demeaning sense. And then just does the same intended-to-demean joke like three times. Big dicks, giga chads, bald shaming, these are all things I see embraced in left spaces which then hand wring about the negative and toxic forms of masculinity and the ways in which they are reified in culture. I am not singling out this mostly decent and well-intended video as the sole or worst offender, but just another example of doing the thing you say you are against.

I exclaimed "YES!" and started clapping after reading your comment. Just hell yeah. Beyond the weird issues that come with the model of seeding to gain access, there is something fundamentally off about the idea of private trackers, and you nailed it. It is antithetical to the whole enterprise of sharing. This transactional shit serves as a price tag that only the privileged can afford

Sounds like he's trying to articulate a thought made much clearer by others before him. Tarkovsky was big on approaching the medium of film on its own terms and pushing the boundaries unique to it. Tarkovsky was highly critical of films that he thought conformed to constraints and conventions of other media, such as the stage and the page. But yeah, not sure what Nolan is really getting at except questioning the primacy of the script, which I agree with, setting aside my criticisms of Nolan as a filmmaker.

Megalovania. I was proud that I knew it on sight. The benefits of having a kid I suppose

I loved the Mary Worth posting and I am loving the Mortensen posting, too. Thanks for sharing

Yes they acknowledged the old sub for sure. Will and Felix did AMAs at different times. I feel like Felix posted in the sub in 2016 for an AMA that was like for 10 people because the sub was so small at the time and Will did his AMA in 2018 or so. Chris definitely was in there and did an AMA and I remember this huge thread where he was engaging with like every question. I was impressed. One of the mods (mugrimm) told him the shows were too long and to keep them at 1hr45min which pissed me off because I lived for content at the time. Even funnier that Chris agreed that that was the perfect length and recently they are going for a solid hour and that's pretty much it. Dave Anthony from the Dollop did an AMA on the sub, too, lol. Dave Anthony would post on the sub sometimes randomly and he would get into it with shit talkers. Did not shy away and embraced being mad online. I think cush had a couple of comments on the sub from the early days out of curiosity, and I remember somebody around here saying that he was asked about this site on a cushvlog and was aware of hexbear and supportive of the decision to stop calling it chapo.chat. And BadEmpanada would shit post there from time to time too

places hand over butthole, smiling nervously ‘Yes. I too use this soap for my… “balls”’

Your comment is perfect. I starred it for later access

I signed in just to upbear this track. So good! I love the original by Cole Porter, and this version really captures the spirit well I think. I would love to hear Shoulders' take on the "Wild Cat Kelley" verses that lead in to the song, but most everyone leave these out. Thank you for sharing
