Social WR Lounge V221: Brady is an overrated can

[StoneColdSteveAustin]

Mask rocked I loved the semi truck.

Transformers pissed me off cuz I wanted Joe's to fit in the vehicles and weren't big enough.

I liked Thundercats but never had the toys.

I was into pretty much gi joe and toy guns and new other toys wouldn't grow my collections. Did kinda like ninja turtles and had almost all of them too. Including rare ones like Ray filled and that samurai rabbit I'm drawing a blank on. I would pretend they were radio active monsters trying to storm gi joe town.

Toys were so cool years ago Chris. I loved Thundercats too.

And I loved MASK. I had that gas station with the boulder on top. And if course He Man and some ninja turtles.

I know of a case where it was something like "50 Pt. Head." There are a lot of possibilities, but generally when you're poring over stuff looking for small mistakes, you are more susceptible to missing stuff that is incredibly obvious to people who just pick up the paper. There should be someone who looks over an early copy for obvious stuff like that and then gives the OK to let the printing go, but even that person is there late at night and in a rush to get home (or to a bar) and doesn't find anything 95% of the time. The challenge is to keep System 2 engaged.

Ok

My parents didn't let me watch GI Joe because they felt it glorified war. But I saw an episode at a friends house and I realized it sucked anyway.

Pls go

 

[Gutter Chris]

Ahahahah Chris. That’s exactly what you would do. As you got closer to the toy area you knew you had to drop the hint. “Mom can we go look at the toys?”

Sometimes mom would say no at the first store and I new it was a test and a challenge. Suck it up you still got more tries if home isn't the next stop. I'm telling you dude these kids now days could learn a thing or 2 if I shared the secrets. I always thought the game was so simple. Dont tantrum out and you'll win eventually.

One of my best hustles came later in life where I not only talked her into ocarina of time but talked her into both me and her taking 2 days off from work and school to beat it.

Like I've said before I was my mother's mini me and we were always super close.

 

[Jack V Savage]

I don’t know why but I think you would’ve been a ninja turtles fan

Yeah, I watched it regularly. Most frustrating Nintendo game, too, rivaled by Fester's Quest.

 

[Gutter Chris]

We're you a master base/city builder ? Man I'd use everything in the house. And I was always recreating scenes from movies like the backhoe scene from lethal weapon and the LA River chase from terminator. I put a Lotta detail into my play man but I didn't have any friends and was latchkey as it got so I had the time and no one to stop me.

 

[Sketch]

Of course you liked Ninja Turtles, they were all lead by a Rat

 

[Gutter Chris]

It was just that fact that it was humans that they had a problem with. But I tended to like comedy more than action stuff anyway. Transformers, yes, though. Until the movie wrecked it.



They weren't, really. Dad was somewhat right-leaning but not really political. Mom was left-leaning. Both very anti-war. My dad lost his big brother in Vietnam.

I new they weren't I'm just messing with you

As a kid the kids who couldn't play toy guns and what not always seemed so weird to the rest of us.

 

[Sketch]

I loved Ninja turtles but it was for Donatello and Raphael

 

[StoneColdSteveAustin]

Yeah, I watched it regularly. Most frustrating Nintendo game, too, or rivaled by Fester's Quest.

The game was near impossible. Yeah I loved the show too when I was a kid. I took martial arts at the time too and thought I was so cool

of course. Setting up the bases with my little brother was the best part of the toys. It was even better than the actual battle.

that’s awesome. My mom was the best too.

@Deorum

In Through The Out Door. I wish the stigma around butt stuff would end but if it isn't meant to be then whatever. I also had no idea you were browsing through those NoDakian 'cultural studies', @Falsedawn. The fitness and gym subculture is still extremely prevalent even today, but the overwhelming majority of what people see on the surface are flamboyant flamers and screaming queens -plus- transfolx at pride parades. I'd guestimate those subgroups constitute maybe 30% max of the actual lgbtq demo. A pretty significant number for sure, but still a clear minority.

I think the misunderstanding about it is that I don't see it as an attack, moreso a statement of fact. And especially when you start getting into homosexuals, which it always seems to be that if you like butt stuff that you gotta turn in your dude card.

If we're going to appeal to historical notions of masculinity, the heirs to the throne ARE homosexuals. If you're familiar with any @Deorum posts about gay culture and their aesthetic forebears, it becomes readily apparent that most straight dudes (myself included) frankly don't meet the bar for masculinity in 1950. But back then, it was fitness, the male form, quiet stoicism, etc... So this recent time of the "man's man" being the beefed anti-gay who somehow punches his way through moral conundrums is a recent development, and much of that is an internal feedback loop from dudes ourselves.

Being a man can be whatever the fuck you define it as, but chasing after other guys like the dick police is some real weak shit. If you really believed what you thought, it wouldn't matter what anyone else thought. Fuck em. If i'm happy with my own philosophy on life, I don't HAVE to impose it on other people. If the shit's good, people will mimic it themselves.

This is just simply a fact, and the level of stigma around male homosexuality is still insane. It may be less politically correct to openly express compared to 20 or even 10 years ago, but let's be completely real. I'm not speaking in terms of legal rights, but in a pure sociocultural sense that the government and courts cannot legislate. It is NOT okay, and that's why you still have so many closeted, repressed and self-loathing men out there.

What the dudes that are mentally, physically and socially detached from their community don't realize is that when you're openly gay, you no longer give a single fuck about any of that. They don't realize that we operate on completely different dynamics, norms and standards from hetero land. This is why I say I couldn't care less how my "masculinity" is perceived by anyone other than who I'm looking to attract. Why on earth would I?

And yeah, I wasn't trolling at all when I'd post about the gay culture stuff. I wasn't scrollbombing for giggles (mostly), there was a legitimate history lesson there purely for educational purposes. <45>

I'm a lurker bro, I read even if I don't post lol. Being a member of an ingroup explaining things to an outgroup obviously isn't an unfamiliar situation, so I tend to pay attention to those kinds of discussions even if it's only to learn how to explain it better myself. But the history of the gay rights struggle and how the culture developed is just genuinely interesting from a sociological perspective as well, especially when it can help explain why things are so generally fucked with sexuality today. As with many things, men have turned out to be our own worst enemies in more ways than one.

 

[AgonyandIrony]

Where did you go as the lights went black?
Look whats become of me
I've grown to love your disappearing acts
Do one more pretty please

New Years Eve was boring as heaven
I watched flies fuck on channel 11
There was no one kiss, there was nothing to drink
Except some old rotten milk
someone left in the sink
There's no ring, there's no ring on the phone anymore
There's no reason to call I passed out on the floor
Smoked myself stupid and drank my insides
Raisin dry.

<3

Yeah, I'm pretty certain 99% of people are (or were) unaware that fitness culture and beefcake physique photography mags of jacked homos - "gay for pay" wasn't exactly a thing in post-war America - wasn't just the primary underground subculture but actually the lynchpin of the gay rights movement in this country (via freedom of expression SCOTUS cases), decades prior to the late '60s riots and all that.



It's funny but it's fuckin' true. I have the artifacts.

It's not fair, it's not even close
You fed me the sun, burned me up inside
And watched me choke on everything we did
On everything we lived
Let's see if I can live again
I lied my face off when I said that I would be okay
It's never fine when you go away
These cuts run deep, these scars are permanent
And always on display
This makes things difficult for me

Made a stupid lame attempt at joke and ended up actuality learning something from @Deorum and false-chan. I really do like that I started visiting the lounge more.

It is somehow the least, and occasionally the most, offensive place in the War Room.
