I know Westerners have always relocated here for work and retirement etc but it feels like there's a growing trend of them really making the jump. Interesting to see us becoming an IT destination. Even celebrities and artists are touring this side more and more... What do y'all think?
Do you guys ever feel like there's a disconnect between y'all and your boomer parents? Like they still haven't noticed that times have changed? Man I've been looking for a job for a pretty long time but I still get berated on a daily about how I'm lazy and not doing enough... They think corporate and the world in general is just like it was back in their time. It's so frustrating that they had a pretty straightforward life while we're here forced to navigate and find a way in the most difficult economy we've ever seen.
Like y'all see the youth unemployment rate but still decide to shit on us further. Smdh 🙂↕️
I tend to bump heads with them. They come across as assholes who seem to enjoy provoking people for me.
I've noticed that they to get annoyed by quiet, self assured people. They seem to always wanna go out of their way to compete, prove a point, show off or brag about something to me specifically.... Whole time I'm just there thinking about my leftover Chicken Pasta at home. They give me serious phony/disingenuous vibes too.
I've noticed that they copy a lot too - whether it's outfit ideas, musical tastes, the fragrances I wear, even some of my speech patterns too - clearly not as innovative as they're reputed to be, to me at least. I don't blame em at all, my taste is immaculate.
This one specific one went out of his way to compete with me over dating and women. Showing me sex tapes, talking to various women in my presence, etc. Which was weird because we were total opposites, he was popular and social, in everyone's face while I was quiet and reserved but I was still always the standout in social settings (Sounds braggadocios but it's facts)
I've actually noticed that fire and air signs looooove trying to humble me. It's almost as if being or appearing confident without saying or doing much pisses them off... Whilst they HAVE to be loud to be noticeable. Not Geminis though, I love em... They're awesome(the guys to be exact...the girls are whatever)
Common experience or just me?
Do you guys have experience dealing with Taureans? How was it? Apparently they make some of the best matches with cancers... Genuinely curious.
I know Scorps rule the sex organs so I can imagine them battling lust throughout their lives, yes Lust is a common problem amongst mankind in general but I think it's way way worse for these guys. Would you say it's the same for Scorpio risings though? Cuz man, it gets Hella difficult to contain this sexual energy sometimes. When I was younger into my early teens I was already indulging in sexual acts - both self pleasure and sex, quickly turned into a full blown obsession, literally couldn't go more than 3 days without indulging. It was nuts(pun intended)
Whenever I see something arousing I get this huge wave of lustful energy flowing through my body.... Makes me wanna explode on some lady. Is this common?
Remember those guys? Joey, Capital Steez, Dyemond Lewis, Dirty Sanchez, Nyck Caution etc.? They gave us classics back in the day man.... Straight classics. Any update on where they are now today? I know Joey went into acting but the rest just went off grid
I just looked up my birth chart for the first time and it all makes sense. Why I've always felt misunderstood, why I felt hated by everyone around me, why I could never fit in no matter how hard I tried to integrate with folks, why even when I minded my own business that would still rub off the wrong way on others, why people would be randomly mean, why I was so polarising... It was so bad that as some point I thought I was autistic or something.
Is this really a thing with you guys? I'm a Taurus.
I'm wondering why Taurus aren't noted for their fashion sense. Almost every Taurean I know or anyone with a prominent Taurus placement always looks fly. Whether they're at home or on the road... They seem to have this natural ability of putting colours and textures together. I also noticed how they LOVE wearing brand names.. not in a loud or "look at me" kinda way, but more in a subtle "IFKYK" kinda way. Like it blends in with the outfit as a whole and you actually have to LOOK at the piece to see exactly what it is... Then you're like "oh, that's a Givenchy top" . Smells good too.
Everyone gives Libra the stylish rep but I personally have not seen many Libras who put ts on. But maybe that's just me.
I was in a relationship with some gem chick for 4 years... It was cool. We were close, so close that we'd accidentally wear the same outfits sometimes... I even share a birthday with her mum. I eventually left her because I didn't like how comfortable she was with other guys after confronting her about it multiple times, the fact that I've heard many rumours about her extra curricular activities didn't help.(I've stepped out on her too so I guess it balances).
She didn't take it well, even became quite mean and said some nasty things... She later tried to reconcile but my mind was made up. Fast forward she's now trying to get at a close friend of mine (now I'm not saying she's doing that to get at me, but the timing of it all is kinda off), she even went as far as throwing jabs at me on her Facebook, I don't use Facebook.. I heard this from a mutual friend.
Is this common behaviours amongst you guys? I'm a Taurus btw...
By the way, you guys make awesome friends. Some of my coolest pals are Gemini. Although they do have some sus tendencies... Solid people overall, the guys at least.
I'm a Taurus sun male with a cancer moon and I absolutely abhor this placement. I think it makes me too passive and understanding to the point of self destruction. I find it difficult to be disagreeable, I find it hard to disappoint people, I take things to heart and feel HARD...and I just get closed off a lot. People know that I'm easy going and kindhearted so they take advantage of that, my high school experience was the absolute pits... hated every moment of it. I've always felt misunderstood and alone, even when surrounded by people I know. Idk I just wish I was a bit more cold and ruthless... I give too much of myself to people who don't deserve it. It sucks
Seriously. Whens the last time you guys saw a good old fashioned serial killer movie? I Know What You Did Last Summer type vibes... Can you guys drop some recommendations...
Man I wish this genre of movies was still alive, seems like the golden era of these were the 90s to mid 2000s
Hello. I'm a 29 yo African man in a long term relationship with a 27 yo Caucasian female. Been at it for nearly 6 years now and we've really thought long and hard about taking the next step... I've never met her folks but they know of my existence and we're planning on meeting them in a few, and man... I'm kak scared. Terrified actually. She keeps reassuring me that they're nice people and that they'll like me, but I'm still nervous about the idea. What if they don't like me? What if they're "old school" ?
If anyone has navigated something similar please advise? How did it go? Does it get less awkward with time?
I'll start...
Christian Bale on American Psycho,
Jake Gyllenhaal on Nightwalker
Leo Di Caprio on Shutter Island
Leo Di Caprio on Titanic
Heath Ledger on The Dark Knight (as The Joker)
Anthony Hopkins on The Silence of The Lambs
Hello. I'm looking for a movie that's raw. A movie that will genuinely fuck me up psychologically and emotionally. Not necessarily torture core or gore with lots of blood and stuff like Human Centipede or some goofy shit... But a movie with intentional storytelling. A movie that will have me rocking maniacally from trying to comprehend the sheer devastation I watched
Think of Requiem For A Dream, Irreversible, Martyrs etc.
I want something deep, something intentional. Something that'll bring a grown man close to tears
Hey guys. I recently rewatched The Belko Experiment and man I still really like that flick. So I'm curious whether there are any more movies similar to that vibe? Survival games or experiments. Thanks in advance
I've noticed that the youngsters are going a different route from what previous generations have. The older generations were all about school, varsity and pray for a job. Whilst the kids are doing their own thing - content creation, E-Commerce, Forex and Index trading, freelancing etc.... even Onlyfans(I'm joking)
Obviously this is pushed mainly due to the lack of jobs but this makes me so happy to see. I've always thought there was something wrong with the system. We're brainwashed from an early age in school to seek authority and direction from an authority figure, not encouraged to think for ourselves, told that we're failures for not following instructions and forced to sit still for hours and regurgitate information thrown at us - all without our consent. Which is just 12-16 years of preparation for the workplace.
We spend more time in our workplaces than our actual homes(how is this not crazy?), only to spend the money we earn on the same homes we visit. We are told that slaving away our best years is the honourable thing to do, and only enjoy 10-15 years of freedom before death calls(that's if you even make it that far). We work jobs we hate to spend money on things we don't need to impress people we don't like.
Personally I'm so glad that the youngsters are seeing this bs for what it is - a matrix. Pursue your vision, take risks, be diligent, persevere and live a life well lived. Too many of our parents and peers died not knowing what they could've been.
This system is crumbling - and it's waaaaay overdue.
And please don't tell me about connections and the same bs we hear everyday. Seriously, give us practical advice... Realistic advice. This sucks, so much so that I can only laugh about it because that's the only thing keeping me sane lol.
Nah but jokes aside, this ain't it. At all. And a part of me feels like this scarcity is manufactured to coerce us into neo slavery, but that's a discussion for another day.
I'm wondering if there are any movies where the main guy dies like an extra? Idk if you guys get what I mean.... Like imagine a movie building up a character, you see their lifestyle, their interests, who they are, their loved ones etc... then all of a sudden they just kick the bucket.
Like Ned Stark on Game Of Thrones. That was shocking. You'd think that after building such an attachment and understanding to the character that they'd win against all odds right? But nope... Guy gets beheaded like a nobody. Yeah I'm wondering if there are any movies like that...
Hey guys. I love deep movies with intentional storytelling and insane twists that make my jaw drop. Frankly, those are the only movies I have patience for lately since I'm older now. My girlfriends coming over tomorrow and we share similar tastes.
