The moment the co-signer on the lancet paper claimed he could cure Autism with his bone marrow I just let out the most hollow wheeze my body could manage. After a loving year of absolute cretins screaming about Epstein's cum in the Covid vaccine it's the only response I could muster to the revelation.

Also goddamn, it loving owns being Autistic. Owns so hard parents would rather their kids die horribly of easily treatable diseases because they're so desperate for kids to not "catch" Autism. It's so nice to be reminded people consider you a diseased burden :smith:.

One of the genuinely weird goddamn things Epstein was into was that he believed that his cum was special and had various near magical properties, the kinda pseudo-science brainworms ones develops when you're as rich and connected as he was.

So anti-vax types who are aligned along the Q-Anon track, because lets be honest they're almost two fully merged circles at this point, decided that because Bill Gates was pushing hard for vaccines and because Gates was buddies with Epstein this meant Epstein's DNA was in every vaccine with a few of them going so far to explicitly say it's his preserved cum.

Trying to sift through theme park content makers to find people whose personality doesn't make your skin crawl sure is laborious. Even on the higher tier end of things you have dudes like Defunctland who admittedly has gotten way better but used to be super awkward and would literally pitch his voice down, and then, yeah, guys like adamthewoo who have personalities that are lab engineered to drain all the energy from me. He's even done a few informative videos that make me squirm to sit through, on top of being a dude who has YouTube algorithm-gaming nonsense titles for his videos and tries unsuccessfully really hard to be a jack of all trades about various subjects. I'll admit he's fascinating as a weird character though, especially since finding out he grew up around a town I frequent and was one of the theme park internet idiots who got banned from the Disney parks for some amount of time. Most of the theme park dorks on YT are just really awkward sounding nerds though, which would be me if I tried to do video essay poo poo.

whats honestly funny is how loving ugly and pathetic the house is. like the stain glass windows look like poo poo you would buy in a moms magazine for some "reasonable" price now blowing millions for some ugly mcmansion. like if i am gonna blow money on a disney house. its gonna look like old spooky looking second imperial mansion and i'll probably have portrait hallway similar to haunted mansion.

defunctland and few others are interesting because they actually talk about the history and the company bullshit behind the rides and how stuff succeeds and some stuff fails and its a cool idea to see how some of the big corpo types think and poo poo. and i also some that catch all the weird details in rides and poo poo. but most of the stuff is weird and like gross because i don't like listening to some person pitch up their voice into some perk caidence to talk about disney poo poo.

It’s kind of telling when Jenny Nicholson is the least awkward one, and it’s not even close.

That new hBomb video is real real good and actually answered my longstanding confusion over why his basement hellstudio is filled with seemingly abandoned tools and junk that he would never use.

Also, while someone else in the thread complained about the skits and tangents at the start of the video I'm honestly really enamored by the onscreen persona of a barely held together maniac who's perpetually on the verge of snapping he has in any of those skits. I think having a sort of recognizable persona/"voice" that runs through their work is one of the things that really propels YouTube content creators to success.

I think it's mostly because people that hate wacky personas and deep channel lore will still power through them if the video surrounding it is good.

as someone who has been completely hairless since I was 3(alopecia universalis), just get it over with and shave your head, being bald rules and is much less maintenance

here's a question for you: if you had the option to be totally, 100% hairless, no hair anywhere including body hair, leg/arm hair, nose hair, ear hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, head hair, etc, would you do it? I'm curious how many folks would willingly go for it.

I have never had hair since I was a toddler and I never want hair. It's so, so much less work, no shaving, no shampooing, no maintenance whatsoever. and if I really wanted head hair I could get a wig. The only downsides are a bit oilier skin(since body oils tend to spread out onto hair instead of sitting on the skin), slightly worse allergies since no nose hair(medication easily remedies this), and not having eyelashes/eyebrows means sweat gets in my eyes real easily. but otherwise I get baby smooth skin, even in my 30s.

The hassle of not having eyebrows seems like it would be more than worth not having to deal with the hassle of hair enywhere else.

I started going grey at 12/13. My hair situation is just deeply unfortunate but I also love my hair despite the fact that like every year I grow increasingly tempted to just shave it all off and accept that I'll look sickly and grosser than usual for like, months.
