I'm getting an x-ray today.
I'm glad you're getting that x-ray, Claire.
What's going on with your lung?
The left lung.
You can tell which one is left?
Yeah, my left side.
Okay, go on.
If I had some sort of pain, I would never be like, what's my left lung?
It's localized.
Sounds like you don't know your body.
Yeah, no, I don't.
And I feel there was a weird thing where I could feel sort of my heartbeat
and there was like a sort of vibration
like a cell phone
was sort of stuck in the back there but it didn't hurt
and now it's starting to hurt
and a doctor said that
the lining of my lung is inflamed
that sounds scary
well you got a diagnosis then
but then he's like yeah if it's still like that in a month
go get an x-ray
and it felt like there was a cell phone back there
it felt like
because it's inflamed
and so it's now
has it gotten worse
No, now it just kind of hurts in the night.
But I'm like, there's my heart over there.
Batman runs the night.
The whole thing.
Is OBS going?
Yeah, everything's going.
Everything's going?
Okay, great.
That could all be on the podcast.
It's none of it will be on the podcast.
Everyone is very healthy.
Well, George, the show is we go on Quora.
Please dance to the song.
Oh, honey, we're back on the Quarters podcast every week online on Quora.com.
That's the show.
It's Alex and Jeremy and Claire.
What a week we have for you.
Seven days at a time.
They break up our months and our months are our moons.
Sometimes I feel like you start this podcast like you're just learning English.
I don't think about it in advance.
And when we go to the bathroom.
Usually I do the weather.
Today it's hot.
Are you reading baby books to your baby?
She's, like, I've been doing it, but she doesn't have, like, words yet.
So it's fun.
I've just been reading her my books.
Sometimes they get, like, scary.
Your books?
Yeah, I was reading her one of my books.
Yeah, like sci-fi novels or, like, stuff with a demon in it.
And I'll do the voices.
She likes the voices.
Although, and you know what?
I should have introduced our guest.
But I will say I scared my baby for the first time this week by doing the Dune song.
Oh.
And she screamed.
she was so afraid
for like a while
and this song goes
that sucks
right Nick
yeah
well I've been doing it a lot
because I didn't get any
pushback
because you have plans
within plans
we got a great show
for you this week
we got all the way
from the Stradio Lab podcast
the world famous
George Saveris
everybody George
hello
thanks for coming over
Claire are you drinking
blank street coffee
yes
don't you know
they're evil
are they
I don't know
yeah whatever
more evil than Starbucks
Okay, I guess that's a good question.
It's a different kind of evil.
Starbucks is evil in the way that an old conglomerate is evil.
Blank Street Coffee is more like venture-funded evil.
It's like teal bucks.
I've heard people say this before, but I never knew in what specific way.
I thought it was because they were gentrifiers or something.
Well, I know they're evil because they have lattes based on astrological signs.
Oh, that's great.
Yeah, that's even worse than having venture capital.
Yeah, that's how you know.
I approved of their Aries marketing.
I found it bold and innovative.
Where are we on astrology?
You know.
I'm back in.
I'm fully back in.
I'm all the way in.
I don't know what the risings are still.
Because we're entering a recession.
It's like 1970, whatever, all over again.
We're having a conflict with Iran.
Bumper stickers are back in a big way.
Like 70s style astrology.
I actually think we went so far in the astrology direction
that there's going to be a comeback of like
christopher hitchens richard dawkins style like new atheism rationalism oh yeah yeah i just think
people are i think we gave too much grace to the astrology um slash lgbtq ethos so your things are
going to get a less god more straight i just think there's going to be less patience for people that
waver from the rational path yeah i think you're right and i'm not saying i endorse that i'm just
saying my cultural forecasting cultural forecast spidey senses are tingling cultural forecast
after weather forecast yes george have you been on quora.com yes but i have to say not recently
okay not on purpose it's changed a lot actually yeah well i i feel like i know my recent interaction
with it has been purely from clips of this show and i don't know how representative those are of
what the quora.com you know we've received some reviews about that uh but only in that the clips
are a straight fire yeah they go don't bother listening the clips are better than the actual
they're deceptively fire which is all things really need to be um yeah uh that they now
kind of impose unless you're in specific areas uh that they want things in the form of a question
which if you go back on the website is not extensively true like there are just stuff
like reddit posts that are open discussions uh but everything has been kind of refiled into that
format and also because one of the either founders or ceos is such a big ai guy the whole thing is
very ai heavy-handed now in a way where like they have ai asking questions so we'll go to like go
you know roast one but it's actually just a computer so actually we're the problem yeah um
and then it will have computer answers to the questions and the questions don't always make
sense so it is a fucking uh free-for-all over there i think that's sort of why i stopped
going there because you're going to it i i would like i wouldn't go to quora.com but i would click
on a quora thing if i had a question about like for example i have the ac unit that is growing
mold you know how they're you want yeah so i have the i have three three of the ac units that are
just recalled because they grow mold which one is that it's called the media something something
oh medea takes on summer medea yeah exactly wait speaking of medea she's also in the news
the point is that's exactly that's all good reasons that's the kind of question you would
google like what do i do about this mold right and i did not click on the quora answer because
i was like this is not where the people it's not safe this is not where the answer i want
is like it's gonna be either on reddit or on youtube and i i don't remember when that
switched but i feel like around like 2016 2017 i was like this is not where the people was trump
yeah it was trump the people's voice i was just looking in my ac today there's mold in there
in your ac am i gonna get legionnaires disease yes as a matter of fact your lung
just talk about mysterious illness you have before we start recording mold is really annoying because
it's one of those things that you really want someone to tell you is not that bad and no it's
bad no it is bad it's like really bad because i keep being like but i don't have to really throw
away these three ACs, right? And everyone's like,
this is what Last of Us was about.
I know. Someone I know was posting on Instagram about
having mushrooms in their shower.
I feel like it's really scary. Very groovy, man.
I knew someone who had mold growing
on her body. Oh, that's bad.
What the hell? I don't know.
She's so wrapped up.
Bro, last ant moot.
I knew this guy was covered in mold.
Get a patch.
So how do I clean it?
I guess I'll Quora it. Right, we'll get
back around to that. I just want to say
that I have only met
two people so far
who have this AC
you've been recalled
and they all have
multiple units
and that's so funny to me.
Well, the thing is
and I'm not putting myself
in this group
but it is
the most popular AC
amongst sort of like
an upwardly mobile
because it's like
the people that like
read Wirecutter
and want like
a sort of like
millennial design
like it is
the type of people
that would have
multiple AC units.
For a very cold
dry room.
as we found out a very moldy room you'll be coughing blood soon uh this week's theme is
family affairs so full transparency we're going to get right into our first segment here which
is space of the week a lot of the stuff today comes from this space even in the like rest of
the episode it was like kind of fine there's a lot of stuff on there and it's kind of dangerous
to click around but this week's space of the week is stuff men have to deal with
Space of the week
Oh yeah
If you're not
Watching the video
Jeremy is the only one
Not wearing red
So he's wearing our flag
Oh I forgot
By the way
We have a flag
We have a damn flag
And I've just run the marathon
Red is the official
Quora color
Yeah I guess so
Oh so we're all dressed
Appropriately then
Yeah
All dressed to impress
And we are the CEOs
Of Quora as well
So it's important
That we wear the coat
So if you have any complaints
Please send them to us
And I'm a sort of McKinsey consultant that was hired to downsize.
And by the end of the episode, I'm going to decide which of you is getting fired.
Maybe all of us.
It's probably going to be, well, it's probably not going to be you, Claire,
because women get paid less, so it would not make financial sense to fire you
because you'd be saving less money.
Alex is our CFO.
He has our one credit card.
Right.
And I've been doing corruption left and right, so I probably got to go.
You're doing corruption.
That's damn right.
Don't.
This week's space is stuff men have to deal with.
This is a support forum for typical problems, frustrations,
experiences of male gender 38 contributors 10 000 followers a medium-sized quora space again
it's not tiktok folks 10 000 is a lot there's a there's a lot of people on here user wise
it's kind of all over the place there's stuff that's a lot of like incel stuff and there's a
lot of stuff like hey i just had a baby uh who wants to talk about what fathers do and then
there's other people being like i was sexually assaulted when i was four so just look out for
that, but I do. Those are all things men have to
deal with. They are all things men
have to deal with. That's why it's kind of the perfect space.
So it's sort of, one of the
contributors is Burball.
I'm seeing a female name. Sorry
to be gender essentialist. Go down.
Patrick, this one. Oh, Ella May.
Which one are you looking at? Danny or Ella?
Ella. But also Danny,
D-A-N-I, also sounds like a woman.
I wonder if Ella May is just like a
content
professional, and that's why they brought
her in. Well, she's also the admin of
of stuff women have to deal with.
LMA seems to be like that.
It's actually so progressive
to have an in-cell forum
where the admin is a woman
and she's like,
guys?
Knock it off or keep it up.
So this one,
stuff women have to deal with
is not just feminism,
pro-women.
Oh, followed by Eugene Mormon.
Yes, Eugene Mormon,
our good friend,
Eugene Mormon.
From Bob's Borgers.
Libertarian Eugene Mormon.
I think this is the only guy
we are following
just because his name
is funny.
It's a good name.
He lives in Pontiac, Michigan.
Damn, he has a PhD
in theology?
Yeah.
He's cool as hell.
He's very wise as well.
He knows much
of the scriptures.
I could never.
He had a talk show
in Muskegon, Michigan
called the Eugene
and Eugene Show.
All right, let's get
out of Eugene's face.
Yes, let's focus
on stuff women
have to deal with.
What about men?
I just want to say
that this space
is a little over
two times the size
of the other ones.
There's a lot more
interest in stuff
women have to deal with.
Do you think stuff
women have to deal with is broadly
anti-vax or pro-vax?
It could go either way.
I would say anti-vax. I would say anti-vax because of
the image being the cartoon woman with
pink hair.
Also, based on a lot of videos I saw
around 2021 of who
was seizing on camera
for getting the vax.
It was a lot of stuff women had to deal with.
It's 22,000 women who have to walk backwards
because they got the vaccine.
That shit's so funny.
Ella May curated a bunch of the questions we have today.
Okay, great.
Ella.
Okay, here's a question from Stuff Men Have to Deal With.
M29, how will having muscles make me look better?
It is just going to make me look stupid being short and having muscles.
It would be embarrassing, and I will look ugly.
Now, this is a question.
Wait, this, like, breaks my heart.
See, like, he's giving up on the idea of asking a question halfway through.
Yeah.
He's, like, trying to ask a question, and at the end, he's like,
never mind, I'm worthless.
Never mind, I'm going to be ugly anyway, and no one's going to like me.
He's really knocking himself down in the middle here.
So you can be short, little, and have muscles.
People like that.
Can I just say no one loves having muscles more than little guys.
This is from Hex Hex.
Little guys have the biggest and most muscles out of everyone.
It's also easier.
I mean, obviously, it's just easier to be built when you're little.
There's less surface area to work with.
There's less to love and, therefore, more to build.
Less surface area.
I've been lifting weights a lot recently, and I resent being tall.
I think it would be very helpful if I was, like, five feet tall.
the weights only have to go up around six inches shorter.
Heavyweights are made for a dwarven musculature,
much like Gimli of Lord of the Rings.
Lower to the ground.
Lower to the ground, thank you.
It's just solid as a rock.
I think of many, there's many athletes that are shorter.
I'm trying to think, other than like, you know, wrestlers.
We can't say Gimli.
We already said him.
Our body, not bodybuilders,
are weightlifters generally shorter?
Yeah.
It's better.
Shot putties.
Shot putties.
Yeah, anything where you don't have to, sorry, run.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I mean, a lot of, like, all the basketball players are famously seven feet tall.
But, like, if you just need to be, like, very powerful, you can just really, like,
think of how dense you can make a square.
Yeah.
Oh, you know who's very short is a jockey.
Like, polo.
Like, people who ride horses.
Oh, yeah.
Gymnasts.
And gymnasts.
Oh, yeah.
Simone.
Yeah, so what's this guy talking about?
You're going to look fat.
You're going to look like Simone Biles.
You're going to look as great as Simone Biles.
I found this guy's account.
His name is Hex Hex.
All of his questions are like this.
Why does no one believe me when I say I don't exercise because I can't develop muscles?
I haven't exercised for two years straight and gained zero size muscles and strength.
I can't develop muscles if I work on them.
Do you believe me?
Okay, but what is his protein?
I mean, we got to see some macro stats here.
What is his protein intake?
Yeah, you can be lifting weight all day, but eating like only buttered noodles, it's not going to do anything.
It's not going to work out for you.
He says, M29, can you rate my looks?
But then he doesn't have a photo or anything.
Can you click it?
I did.
There's nothing there.
There's no answers.
There's no photo.
Well, you want someone to say, let me see your photo.
What a tease.
Should we ask?
Yes.
Okay.
Say, show me the photo, hex, hex.
Okay, I posted it.
All right, that's good.
Jeremy, send that in.
That's good podcasting.
Wait.
Go back to his questions.
How do you build self-esteem when the only person hyping you up is biologically required
to love you?
And this is, I think, another one of the questions we have.
There's a lot of, like, my mother says I'm so handsome, but she's lying.
But I'm ugly and cheesy.
You think this is all from this one guy?
No.
Well, all of these are from this one guy.
Yeah, this is his page.
But not all of the ones we're going to do today.
Okay, good.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
You'll see.
Just wait until you see these great questions.
I can't find any info on how to make DMT on the internet.
Can you help me?
All right, this is starting to paint a picture.
every one of his questions starts with m29
he's gotten younger how do i get my family to forget about me
well what's the answer this guy hates his mom so much on this she loves him too much how do we get
my family to forget about me and then someone responds yes unfortunately this is quora is such
a bad website that they've just attached a different question onto here which is is there
a way to make your family completely forget you?
And he says yes. And then you have to cut all ties.
I don't know if anyone actually
answered this question. Oh, someone did.
They said, have you tried telling them to?
It's called going no contact.
So no contact is a
TikTok thing? Is it?
Because I found out about... What?
Oh, I'm sorry. That was killing Spree.
I was like, who said that?
That was the Halo
announcer. He's not really here.
I was like, am I
losing it?
and so like i think it's everyone's really into saying that their family members and ex-boyfriends
are narcissists yes totally and so going no contact is a new like creating boundaries
yeah blah blah this is how i know i'm no longer like young and privy to online culture is like
i literally learned about no contact from like a new yorker article quoting a bunch of tiktoks
whereas when we were like 26 i would like first hear about things on twitter and then be like
These losers like reading the New York Times.
They're just catching up to no contact.
I have to hear about it from George weeks after the article comes out.
Well, anyway, everyone's doing it.
What if your baby goes no contact with you?
That would suck.
I will not allow that.
You can't do the Dune song anymore.
She won't survive.
I'll hunt her like a Ben and Jesseret.
I think a lot of times people do it because it's like their parents don't like that they're gay or whatever.
What would you have to do for your kid to go no contact?
I guess I have to stop supplying milk.
Really, I could be completely cut out of the picture at this point.
It's all on Alyssa at that point.
Fair enough.
Alyssa would have to draw the boundaries because I'm very superfluous.
I meant like when she's an adult, like she's 17.
Oh, when she's F29?
Yes.
I guess I would have to tell her like,
I would have to like keep insisting that she build muscle and then she can't
and then that would create that barrier naturally.
Let's move on to another question.
Okay, fine.
But we're still in stuff men have to deal with
because men have to deal with so much stuff.
They have to deal with so much stuff.
Which is that country where boys and girls get freedom?
This is what I was saying.
It's all over the place.
This is really good.
I'm also loving this follow-up question.
What freedom are you talking about exactly?
Great place to start.
Logan, you're completely correct.
No follow-up, though.
Yeah, no, and that's in fact the only answer.
There's one other answer here.
It says Poland.
Only the pretty ones are let in,
and that's by Maciej Kania.
okay he's polish pole spotted which is that country where boy okay what if does he mean
some sort of country where it's like easier to get emancipated as a uh as a minor like boys and
girls i see as children no contact i'm trying to get no contact what is that country where it's
legal to go no contact this is kind of the no contact horror space actually now that we're
got to get to it yeah the undercurrent of every question is like do i need my family
and why do i feel so isolated sorry alex read this response from carl there's a few more and
i like that there's specific countries it's not people were confused they're like my society
oh there's carl vag girl vag who says my society australia has a relatively good situation for
females such as prime minister of australia and such like i really like my society australia
It's not a country.
It's a full society.
It's a movement.
Wedge down under.
Everyone, box the kangaroo.
Why are God and religion so confusing, he answers.
He has 31,000 answers and seven questions.
So I'm like, is this a person or is this an AI?
You know, some people answer and some people ask, and he's an answerer.
This is Carl Vag.
Yeah, this is a famous Australian, Carl Vag.
Less God, more straight.
He asked, what happened to you, little one?
damn i'm a big fan of follow carl badge asap this is a powerful mind what happened to you
little one that's a great question i don't know the answer to it carl has also answered 32 000
questions it says what does it actually mean do you wish to share this answer
he has a question about just like the wording of quora yeah i hate that too and it's a lot
of websites just people being pedantic about how bad the format of the website is yeah we don't
know what the question is just do your best wait i'm looking for 10 safest countries for women to
live and visit oh from jnc costello this is the answer under carl just linking to an article
norway finland iceland denmark luxembourg switzerland sweden austria why are you so
disappointed in that i don't live in any of those places it means nothing to me i want to know where
boys and girls are safe not just 10 safest countries boys are safe in norway listen where
girls are safe boys are safe boys are safe jeremy open your eyes boys keep each other safe
we keep us safe we're boys who keeps boys safe we keep boys safe this is stuff men have to deal with
so the questions by bikram jeet singh yeah that's right and he says online errand money
uh-huh i don't know what that means but he lives in paquette which is kind of cool yeah here's
We love what you do.
Good men, I have two questions for you.
Do you feel you suffer because of the bad men in the world?
And do you think most men would not harm females?
Okay, now we're getting somewhere.
This is a legitimate question.
Doubleheader.
This is stuff men have to deal with.
It's so good, it's two questions.
Do you guys feel you suffer because of the bad men in the world?
I don't think this question is for me.
Oh, because you're not a good man?
Oh, I'm a good man and I definitely suffered.
You know what?
It takes a Jeremy to make an Alex.
You suffer at the hand of bad men
I'm kind of a dark avenger
Molded by Jeremy
But yes I do feel I suffer
Well everyone suffers
Because of the
I guess it's like
Everyone suffers because of the bad men in the world
Yeah
Period
That's it
But then also I think what this is implying is like
Do you suffer as a man
Like is it
Right
Bad PR for men
That there are bad men in the world
Which is a different thing than like
Than like yes we suffer from bad men
because they create wars.
Right.
And they also,
they make you shave your pubes.
Yes.
And they set unrealistic standards.
You think bad men
make you shave your pubes?
This is again,
this is theoretically.
This is just me and Alex.
I make them do it.
He says it's good for the podcast.
It is good.
It reduces drag.
No one can see that.
You see what I gotta deal with?
You know,
on my way here,
I saw a tweet that said,
engaging in deforestation,
parentheses,
trimming my bush.
Damn.
Now that's a classic tweet.
That's fire.
That's like old school Twitter.
Jeremy, clip that.
Me incorrectly quoting a tweet.
I don't remember.
Make a misrepresentative clip from this.
There's this guy called Drill.
There is something these days, maybe in the past few years,
where because of Me Too hashtag.
Why not?
Hashtag Me Too.
I've never heard of that.
There's this whole thing where bad men were ruining it
for the good men say it oh is that what me too is about the bad men yeah they're ruining it for
the good men because so me too is like it's like men good men started that movement being like yes
me too i'm good black hats and white hats and when you're when you're on the dating scene all
the good straight men go they just the bad men really ruined it for us because now we have to
be so careful when we go on dates girl and we have now we're scared that we're gonna say the
wrong thing when it's just like well why don't you just be a good guy yeah what are you afraid of
well they're gonna take something i said out of cut it's like well then just think for a like
five more seconds anyway that's what's why bad men are ruining good men women always think they're
on a date with tuco salamanca what from breaking bad guy yeah oh you know tuco crazy this guy was
Did you call the guy with the head on the tortoise?
Yeah.
No.
That was not.
You guys need to get your story straight.
That was not him.
That guy's name was like Turtle or something.
And that story, by the way, is Breaking Bad.
There's no objectively correct answer that one of us is right about.
Did a high school teacher broke bad?
Yeah, but at what cost?
Do you think most men would not harm females?
Do you think Walter White is the bad man that made it bad for good men?
Yeah, Aaron Paul.
He did, but he also killed all those Nazis in the movie at the end.
So that was how he came back around.
Two different types of bad men.
That's true, that's fake as well.
All bald.
Do you remember when people were like,
oh, it's okay for Walter White to be an anti-hero,
but not Hannah Horvath?
And you're like, shut up.
It's not really okay for any of them.
Yeah, exactly.
No one is like, I mean, I guess you sort of are rooting for him,
but like it's not, I don't know if it's because of toxic masculinity.
Okay, so it's all right for Mickey Mouse to steal his master's wand
and make all that mischief while classical music plays.
That's okay.
But Hannah Horvath can do that.
Oh, but Lydia Tarr's canceled now.
She has to make the Monster Hunter soundtrack
while Mickey rakes it in.
should we read any of these comments on this
I feel like the comments must be good
I'm not sure I think most men
would harm would not harm females
the word most is carrying a lot
most is too many
it's like what does harm mean
is being rude
is gaslighting it
what will lead me to go no contact
please don't go no contact
Claire
honestly a weird emoji
a weird emoji you think is harm and abuse
yeah and i go i don't need that in my life um the one that looks like he's stuck in a speaker
you said you like that one i know i don't like it it's a love hate relationship you said i think
on this podcast like two months ago it's your favorite emoji well now my favorite one is the
one that's tired there's a new tire oh and you there's a new one that's tired i don't like
upside down smile oh i don't either i really don't like it what does that mean you know what
here's what it gives to me it's like people saying i'm fluent in sarcasm oh it's just it's
commit to something. Or like sarcastic
comment loading. Yeah. It's an
Elon Musk style emoji. It's so
Elon Musk, yes. It's when you say a sentence
that's bad and then the smiley face
is, it's so bad it's upside down. I gotta show
you the tired. I like pensive.
Oh yeah, pensive is good. Oh, this one's good. I like that one.
Oh, the Rizzler.
There's a Rizzler emoji? No fucking way.
Yeah, there is. Already? It's just thinking
emoji. It's just thinking emoji. The Rizzler didn't invent
that. Oh yeah, you're right. I'm sorry. I'll back
up. I was wrong on that one. Rizzler thought, is it
the original? Oh, I like that one.
Okay, so I guess the answer is to ask women what emojis they like currently
and don't show them to them.
Let's read this answer.
Read it, Alex, from Robert.
He's a lion.
He's a lion, and he's a former seaman gunner at the Irish Naval Service.
So that's a guy.
Yeah, so he's an expert in guys.
Actually, good men.
I've dealt with hostile, aggressive, and violent men a number of times in my life,
but I've been around long enough to know that these individuals are the exception,
not the rule.
That's a subjective experience.
but I would also say I've suffered from an objective level of secondhand distress
by the way society treats men as a whole due to the actions of the worst among us
guilty by association you could say not that I or most men have anything to feel guilty for
I've never harmed a woman in my life yet there isn't enough to prevent some women from being
fearful of me simply because I'm male I'm just imagining how awful I'd feel if anytime I wrote
something i imagine people reading it obnoxiously on a podcast i'm imagining him as a lion as i do
it too me too aslan imagine aslan saying this shit the magical king lion uh there's more to
this but it's it's a lot more of how men are actually yeah it's interesting that he's like
i have faced distress because of the way society treats men as a whole due to the actions of the
worst among us that's every group right everyone faces distress because society because of like
stereotypes of the worst among them in whatever group they're in whether it's like racial or
ethnic or whatever and because of the bad men that's right shave those pubes i'm pointing at
jeremy with my thumb as i do that audio listeners a ron roberts profile he's a big contributor to
stuff men have to deal with three questions himself imagine being in the irish navy he says
So when someone gets the better of you, you block replies, then run and hide?
Coward.
Oh, my God.
And then the next one is, how do I cope with touch deprivation?
And his final question, his final question, have you ever been attracted to someone with
Asperger's?
Oh, no.
These three together are, like, brilliant.
Tell a story.
They should be framed in a museum.
Yeah.
Put it on a shirt.
We need merch.
We just have this guy's Quora profile on a T-shirt.
Yeah.
I do kind of want to know
How to cope with
Touch deprivation
But it may get sad
Well luckily that one
Has 11 answers
It may get sad
I think it's going to get
Said very quickly
The question is sad
Isn't it just
Give yourself a hug
Touch starvation
Get a massage
Okay great
Alright great names
In this thread instantly
One was wash beef cut
This last year
Has left me aching
For hugs
Live alone
This is during
COVID by the way
This is four years ago
Oh well that makes sense
It's less sad then
Sure
It's more universal
Right.
It's not just that you're so unlovable
no one has ever touched you.
It's that we all had to isolate to prevent a disease.
No touch was happening.
No.
Well, I guess the answer is massage or hug.
Massage or hug.
Hug yourself.
Thanks for writing in.
Oh my God.
And there's some sort of Healthline article
about self-hugging.
With a picture of the human intestine.
Yeah, I don't know what's going on with that.
That's interesting.
Is it good for digestion?
It's kind of hugging your food.
It looks like a scarf to me.
Chic.
I refuse to click it.
Although you can go to Cuddlist.com
for platonic cuddle sessions.
Go to Cuddlist.com.
I actually do have to go to Cuddlist.com.
I'm sorry, Alex.
You can't make me a counter or anything.
It's a dating app for cuddling.
For platonic cuddling.
You know, I heard a rumor that a very famous
political commentator
frequents cuddle parties.
Whoa!
I'll tell you off mic.
Who could this be?
Does he live in this neighborhood?
It's Jake Tapper.
Matthew Iglesias.
Don't answer that.
All right, so we're here on Cuddlist.
Oh, that makes a lot of sense.
Very cool.
That makes a lot of sense to me.
Nothing has ever made more sense.
Yeah, yeah, but don't.
I don't want to.
We're here on Cuddlist.com.
I don't like that they have to wear shirts.
It's been listed, apparently, in every major newspaper in America.
And then these are all people's names.
That feels invasive.
Is this for hiring?
Oh, now it's invasive.
after we've read
everyone's name
on this podcast
and where they live.
You've clicked
the find a cuddlist tab
and we're naming
cuddlists.
Name them.
Registered cuddlists.
Oh no.
You gotta fix
the OBS 2 hot shot.
I know, I know.
I think it's on the other
No, it's on this.
Name cuddlists.
I guess I want to see
a video of what it entails.
I think it's just like
someone probably crying
and getting hugged.
I guess I don't want
to see that.
There's going to be
video on the on the thing though right i want to watch one of those videos where um the reiki people
put their hand over a woman's uh chest and she starts like freaking out that seems unrelated
i guess it's kind of cuddling those are fun um should we do another question yeah i'll do another
question are we still in space of the week we're too far down the cuddlist hole we've got one more
space one more space of the week but i told you this this section is fire this is fine these are
family affairs. Can women be attracted
to a man with very bad and missing teeth?
Sure, why not?
Which one?
Anglo-spotted.
Oh, okay.
Sorry.
Anglo-spotted.
Also, I think
this is...
Tips
for women.
It's also tips for women.
I'm
attracted to two men right now who have
missing and bad teeth. Wow.
Damn. Hashtag name them. Hugh Grant.
You wish.
It's the person George showed us.
I wish you were attracted to Hugh Grant.
I'm trying to think of
hot celebs with no teeth, but
one of the first things that you do when you
make it into the
golden circle is you fix those right up.
Stavros. Yeah, I was about to say, Stavros
is cute. Oh, he has
missing teeth. He had one missing front tooth.
That's true.
I guess I just wonder...
Well, he, like, kind of left that out
as, like, a joke for a year or two.
Well, the thing with Stavros is, like,
it's, like, commentary on the idea of missing a tooth.
Yeah, he's doing art.
He's doing tooth art.
He's not insecure about it.
Right.
He's like, I dare you.
He owns it.
Yeah, he owns it.
Much like the worm owns the apple.
Stupid.
All right, so, so far, we're 100% yes
on bad and missing teeth.
Yeah, I agree with this first person that's like, define bad.
If they're actively rotting, maybe no.
She may not fancy kissing him, it says.
I'm not hitting the button again, but we know it's an Anglo spot.
In fact, here in the UK, many people would prefer that to those artificially straightened and whitened teeth favored by some Americans.
It's also like, can women be attracted to a man with missing teeth?
The answer is objectively, yes.
It is impossible.
You can find a woman.
It's a disorder.
Yeah.
I'm right here.
Daku Mono says, if he is tall, yes.
If he is tall and white, even better.
Daku Mono is racist.
That's so funny.
Can a woman be attracted to a rotting tooth?
Yeah, if the guy's white.
Teeth brown, skin white.
It's all about the blood at the end of the day.
Unreal.
The race of the blood.
Dude, this guy's French.
Remy Lebeau.
Remy Lebeau.
That's a great fake name.
I will say my husband for a while had sort of a rotting tooth.
And what happened?
And I had to be like, you should probably.
So you told him to fix it.
You weren't like, honey, that's the hottest thing I've ever seen.
That's when you locked him down.
So you're sort of part of the problem.
Yeah, I guess I am.
You have to change in order to get me.
In order to get you while already being married.
Yeah.
From our extremely small sample size, it kind of seems like you need messed up teeth in order to get with women.
Also, people with messed up teeth are better kissers, they say.
Really?
Who is saying this?
I read that into Cosmo when I was 12 years old.
Whoa.
And it shaped your entire life.
Yeah, for real.
Cosmo's kind of like a Freaks Quarterly, as I understand it.
I think because it's more of an interesting pattern,
and you've got to work around it.
Yeah, sure.
It's like a go...
You know, you're not going to go to...
You'd rather go...
You'd rather ride around in a go-kart and a fun little...
I guess I'm thinking about the experience of making out.
but I'm not thinking about how I'm going around someone's teeth.
Yeah, it's interesting.
You'd rather drive around in a go-kart.
That's what making out is.
You're going around somebody's teeth.
I guess that's true.
You're navigating someone's mouth.
I would certainly rather someone have bad teeth
than have insane veneers or two white mixed teeth.
Your tongue is like Mario.
Yeah, totally.
And it goes around the teeth.
That's cool.
I agree it's cool.
And it actually seems like we're in a full consensus on this issue.
So I'm going to insist we move along
because we're still in space of the week
and there's even more stuff.
This guy Corbin says a hockey player could be an orc
and still have puck bunnies en masse.
Okay, click on Corbin real quick.
I've never heard that in my life.
Let's actually stop everything.
Puck bunnies?
I don't call women puck bunnies.
I've never heard of that.
Well, maybe it's a Canadian thing.
Yeah, it must be.
He's from Canada.
He's a nighttime DJ and he's cool as hell.
He's one of the many men who takes pictures of himself
in the car right well that's how you get the puck bunnies he plays a lot of video games like star
trek online star wars old republic gta online battlefront 2 halo 5 mortal combat 10 and 11
it sounds like seems like someone you guys would know yeah actually yeah i do know corbin quite
well he's sci-fi dj yeah he's he's how i first found out about i guess like hockey floozies
Do you follow him on Twitch, Alex?
I don't know how to use Twitch.
Thank you for saying that.
I've always been so confused about what Twitch is.
The things Jeremy makes me feel insecure about are
they're so digital and cyber world,
and I just never feel safe.
Puck bunny.
No, the only time I feel safe is in the ice arena
surrounded by pucks.
It's called a rink.
What about a...
The ice arena.
Gazebo.
Gazebo?
What are those called?
Zambonis?
Yeah, the Zambonis come out.
Zambonis.
We're talking about the real world right now.
Zambonis.
Zambonis.
Those are the girls who just hook up with the Zamboni driver.
They keep me clean.
No matter how fucked up his teeth are.
Yeah.
I imagine you catch like a puck to the tooth every now and then as a Zamboni driver.
They get too eager.
They go back on the ice while you're still cleaning.
Yeah, they get there early.
I'm feeling like hockey players probably worse teeth than most athletes.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I think that's what Corvin's saying.
They get hit right in the mouth.
They're still getting puck bunnies, even though
their teeth, they make them look like orcs.
I'm surprised more people aren't killed by hockey pucks,
because whenever I see those flying around, I just think
this is unsafe, this is not right.
They're so hard. They're so hard, and they're heavy.
Yeah. They're not like little white balls.
I don't think they need to be that hard.
All right, moving on.
Thank you, Corvin Ragar.
This is Quarantang, our parenting segment.
Okay, family matters and affairs.
Fuck, which button is it?
Hold on.
It doesn't matter.
That's enough.
Wow.
Nailed it.
Why does she do this?
My mother makes me uncomfortable telling anyone we meet I am one of her handsome sons.
It is gross.
She does it in front of women my age as well as if they even care.
How do I explain that she is making me look stupid?
So we got a bunch of these.
Sorry, I'm right at wrong.
There's no commas or anything.
No, it's hard to read.
There's a plague happening of mothers lying to their sons
and telling them they're so handsome.
So she's trying to hook up her son with these women?
With Puck Bunnies.
With Puck Bunnies.
But he doesn't play the game.
I look like an orc.
Sorry, a man can't call her son handsome?
This is woke.
Gone too far.
It is kind of woke, gone too far.
I agree with that.
Go no contact with her.
He needs to go no contact with her.
She's being toxic.
How is no contact the theme of the week?
Spent all this time making a theme.
It's just no contact the whole time.
I commented, you need to go no contact with her.
And I am a dark cowboy.
Yeah, stay dark, cowboy.
So they're meeting people in real life.
They're meeting women at the mall or whatever, at Zoomies.
And their mom is there.
And she's going, hey, don't hear.
This is my handsome son.
I feel like that is sort of annoying.
I mean, I don't know.
I don't know if that's exactly how it's happening.
I think that's exactly how it's happening.
I could see her being like, have you met my handsome son?
Yeah, it's like something moms say to their friends.
It's not like other singles.
You know, it's like when someone, a friend introduces me to a normal person,
they're like, this is Claire.
She's a really funny comedian.
Totally.
And I have to be like, hey.
Like, there's no way for me to sort of prove it.
And so if you're handsome.
This is happening to you a lot.
People are constantly introducing you as a really funny comedian.
Yeah, everyone's really always doing that.
You should think of a funny thing to do.
People always introduce me to go, here's Jeremy.
but he sucks at comedy.
He fucking sucks.
I always get that I'm handsome usually.
This is my handsome friend, Alex.
We all have issues.
He's married.
I mean, I will say the thing
with introducing someone as handsome
is like to say someone's funny makes sense
because they haven't yet said something funny
so you're setting expectations.
Right.
But like either someone's attracted to someone
or they're not.
The fact that I'm like,
this is my handsome son
is not going to make a woman be like,
oh, now that you mention it,
I guess he is handsome.
I guess your mother loves you.
Maybe it is.
Maybe it's like you're planting a little seed and you're like,
well, I didn't think that at first, but now that you use the word.
It's the game.
I'm trying to fit you into the word.
It's kind of pickup artistry for moms.
Poor moms need to get red pills.
And they're like, this is my ugly, fucking useless son.
Hey, bitch, this is my son.
They're establishing contact.
They're touching your thigh.
You could never date him.
You're probably not good enough for my handsome son.
We have some answers by John Bowley here.
Okay, read it.
John says, I have three daughters, and I always refer to them collectively or individually as beautiful.
Is it because I want to make them feel stupid or because I love them and are proud of them?
When this affront to your dignity occurred next, I suggest you force the goofiest grin onto your face,
bat your eyelashes five or six times, and sigh.
You won't be stupid.
You'll be charming and confident.
This second half of this post really took a silly turn.
I was not expecting.
It's like, okay, your mom's saying you're handsome.
You do a little like...
Yeah, sure. It's cute.
I think that's fun. Yeah, why don't you play along with your mom
some more? She brought you into this world.
Yeah.
What is questions you're too afraid to ask?
This is a different space. We have to save that for later.
Save that.
Richard Johnson says, I assume you still live with her or else
I don't think you'd feel embarrassed. Next time she does that
just laugh playfully and say, oh mom,
you're too kind. No need to feel
embarrassed. Everyone's on the same page here.
How about you be nice to your mom for once in your life
She raised you
How about you talk to her instead of going to Quora
You don't want her to say you're handsome
This is Hex Hex again
This is from Hex Hex
Hex Hex your mother loves you
You're 29
You're getting younger every day in a Benjamin Button scenario
So he just hates that his mom loves him so much
Yeah because she's biologically required
He can't grow any muscles
He's three feet tall
His mom loves him too much
If he did grow the muscles, it would look bad.
Oh, poor Hex Hex.
Let's do another question.
He's all over this place.
Hex Hex, you are loved.
Everyone deserves to be loved by their mother.
Okay, this is not Hex Hex.
Wait, this is, I'm sorry,
I just say a really funnily worded question.
Really?
My son just got 50 years in prison.
Is he cooked?
Yo.
Croc!
Is my son cooked?
I think your son is cooked, dog.
Is my son crashing out?
Yeah, he is cooked.
That sounds bad.
If that's not cooked, I don't know what is.
Also, what did he get?
That's a great question.
If you know, if it's like a three strike laws kind of state,
it could just be a hard punishment due to frequent recurrence.
Sure.
He could be framed.
He's framed for murder.
I assume he's framed for murder because this is a long sentence
and I want to be on the son's side.
otherwise you raised a murderer
I'm a little bit like
I think he's probably convicted of something
pretty bad otherwise the mom would be like
it was just like a
you know marijuana conviction
I sort of think he did do something bad
he wasn't just crashing out
I like the idea of a mom saying is he cooked
because mothers cook
someone says yeah cooked like a chicken dinner
did about 18 months in county jail
this guy's like going to this grieving mother
Got her.
This is from Richard Saywell,
who did 18 months in county jail.
Staring at that type of time,
one may be better off running to Mexico
and starting a new life
unless you plan on going to the Lord's.
This is my favorite trend on Quora, I think,
is that when people find out you're going to jail,
they start in detail encouraging you to run away.
Yeah.
They're like, here's how you could do it.
You got to go out to sea,
but not at the places that they usually check.
He says, even running and living life homeless
in a big city is better than doing life.
Is that true?
I think about this a lot.
I don't know if that is true.
I think if I was like stuck homeless, would I just go to jail?
Yes.
Yeah.
I don't know though because when you're in there, you might be like, what was I thinking?
Depends on what jail you go to, I guess.
If it's a good jail, if it's a fun jail.
You go to like Rikers or something.
If it's like a Chuck E. Cheese style jail.
If you're in Norway.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Go to Norway.
Get to Norway and commit a crime.
They give you PlayStation.
It's safer boys and girls.
Yeah.
Get your passport and go to the airport if you're thinking of a crime.
Tell them your legal name and get on the plane.
This guy, Miles, seems to know something we don't.
Oh, yes.
You neglect to point out that he was trying to find guilty
and he's now going to pay for something he...
Oh, he doesn't.
It started so confident that I was like,
wow, he knows the crime.
No, it sounds like Miles is just gloating
in the fact this guy's going to jail.
It starts with cooked?
Yes.
He cooked himself.
He really pissed...
The way this is written is so...
He cooked himself.
He really pissed off society somehow
and now he will pay, says Miles.
Someone says, I don't believe this is real because I don't believe anyone old enough
to have a son that is old enough to do 50 straight would use Gen Z slang like cooked.
I actually, obviously, that's correct.
But I actually disagree with that because the son can be young and be sentenced to 50 years.
Oh, yeah.
The son can be like 19 and the parent could be 37.
How old was Damien when he committed his many crimes?
That's right.
He convinced that teacher to kill herself.
She jumped off the roof.
Now, all the comments here are people who are, like, in their 40s and 50s being like,
fuck you, we said that phrase all the time in 1973.
When I was in a gang, we cooked our many enemies with our jazz doo-wop.
I agree.
I think this is a joke post, but I did really like it.
I think it's good, and I think your son is cooked.
I look forward to screenshotting this and posting it on social media.
Here's a picture of a guy on a computer, and he's a troll.
It's a troll using a laptop.
Isn't that fun?
I feel like it's much harder to run away from the cop,
like your prison sentence, than they're making it.
It is hard.
They're saying you might as well try because you're going to go to jail for life.
Yeah.
You have nothing to lose.
I guess you have nothing to lose.
Yeah, you might as well run.
Here's another question.
Do Indian moms have bottomless in homes?
Move bottomless in homes.
Move bottomless in homes.
Sorry.
Do Indian moms move bottomless in homes?
This is a family affair.
Thoughts?
So they're not wearing pants kind of thing?
Yeah, they're Winnie the Pooh-ing it, they're saying.
They're Donald Duck-ing it.
They're Donald Duck-ing it.
They're like the animal kingdom at home.
Important context is that, what, 75% of Quora is Indian?
Right.
Really?
Not really that many, but a lot.
I think it's the biggest of any group, of any nationality.
Interesting conflation here.
It's a lot of Indian and UK users.
Yeah.
And I wonder if there's like the old empire emerging in the form of Quora.
To Australia, where boys and girls are safe.
The Dutch East Indian Tea Company.
It gets very hot in many parts of India,
so it wouldn't be outrageous to move bottomless in a home.
But it is, I guess, illegal if you're exposing yourself to children.
Alex, you visited India with your family as a child?
Yes.
Did your mom move bottomless?
My mother did not, but she was visiting.
Okay.
And none of the people who kept us were bottomless at any point.
You lived in India?
No, I just visited for like a week.
With his parents.
Yeah, my parents were doing parent stuff.
It's a whole, you know, it's not interesting.
No, now I'm interested.
Well, they were doing a vaccine clinic.
Oh, oh.
Because they were doctors,
and so they were going to go into the rural areas
and do a vaccine clinic.
And then we did it for like a few days,
but then our guide got sick,
and it wasn't safe for us to go to the areas
we were going without a guide.
And so we just kind of chilled for a while,
but everyone got very sick.
How old were you?
I was 17.
Damn.
Yep.
Pretty cool, huh?
Wow, so your parents were actually doing like God's work.
They were, and it was God's plan.
And now I've become the comeuppance here
using my Indian knowledge to answer this Quora question.
And the answer is sometimes.
I would like to read the answers by Ayushka Sharma.
Please.
Who is a former rejuvenate soul,
helps people build personality.
Me too.
Helps people build personality?
Oh my God, I need to get in touch.
Ms. Sharma, I'd like to hear you out.
What does bottomless mean?
They don't leave their buttocks elsewhere and then move around in the homes.
What a stupid question.
Go off, dude.
Nor do they move around nude in the house.
Only thing is that Indian moms very often don't feel the need to wear either the petticoat under the sari
or they may not wear the sari over the petticoat.
I've come across Indian moms who generally are in petticoats but move around the house without a sari.
Now, you pervert, you're happy.
Cheers! And then the cheers emoji.
Beast mode.
She fucking went off.
They're not bottomless, but it's like saying
sometimes a mom
doesn't wear a blazer and just
wears a shirt. Right. That's not
well-related to what she's bottomless.
You're happy. Cheers.
I like this related question. Do you want to read Sneha?
Can you show more pictures of your mom and
aunts? No, not to you.
I'm not clicking it. You've had enough.
Can you? Can I read more answers?
Yeah, of course.
okay oh god that's a gnarly question uh this is sneha uh sneha says i think it is common in india
i mean she is the boss to the house so i don't think this is an appropriate question laughing
out loud and she's a software you engineer at ubisoft it says dream job sneha dream job
my mom sometimes walk around sorry my mom sometimes walk bottomless in home mostly she
wear a panty under her courtier t-shirt
and sometimes she only wear a long t-shirt
and wear nothing down early morning and at
night she usually does walk bottomless at home
and only a few people has seen her this way.
I'm just sorry. This person's
bio is home nudist. So it's like
yeah, your mom is going to be walking around. Talk about
she's not wearing anything. She's everything
less. So her question
I am. This is a pervert. Yeah, I am
a 25 year old girl. Can I go to pee removing
my panties in a room and in front of whoever is
in the room? Sure. This is a 50 year old
bad yeah this is not i'm not trusting answers about like different cultural phenomena from
this person well yeah uh she quote unquote answered this question have you ever seen your
mom when she was peeing she says yes many times i'm a 25 year old girl but my mom makes me bathe
every day so i'll bathe sometimes this is not real it's definitely a 25 year old girl it's so
It's beautiful how all cultures do this same thing on Quora, where they pretend to be a
young woman who pees.
They write their own little pee poem.
All people across the world.
Yeah.
It's kind of beautiful.
We are all one.
We're all holding hands and peeing.
We're all harmed by the bad men.
Well, this is like pee in a sexual thing.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's just, it's all natural.
It's all natural.
Can I get naked in my room and go to pee in the washroom?
We're not ready for that.
We don't need to read it.
The answer is sometimes.
Let me see how much we've been recording this podcast for.
It's been seven minutes.
That's about right.
Seven minutes, Jeremy.
We do have a good question at the end.
Right.
Somebody wrote in.
Here's another question.
How many moms are shaved by their sons,
and do moms shave their sons in return?
What the hell?
The AI has answered this question.
I have never been shaved by my mom.
I want to go out there and say that.
No.
I don't even get the people who trust the barber to shave them.
It seems like so vulnerable.
No, no, no.
And this one is the sons are shaving their moms.
How many moms are shaved by their sons and do moms shave their sons in return?
A little tit for tat.
I remember this very specifically.
One time I went to a water park with my friend's family and he wouldn't put sun lotion on his mother's back.
So I had to.
Oh, my God.
This is the beginning of like a porn.
We were like 14.
I was like
I remember the whole time
being like
don't make me do this man
you gotta step up
for this one man
and she was just like
come help
cause she was gonna burn
she was gonna burn
to a crisp
that is so
I mean
the politics of
back sun lotion
are complicated
yeah
it's such an intimate thing
sometimes you have to
do it to like
a new acquaintance
because you're at
the beach together
yeah
like you have to
do it to your dad
your son's friend
don't do that
I was over a lot
I was over a lot the way where I could tell she didn't really mind asking me,
and it wasn't too crazy, but it was like, you should be doing it.
You seem like the kind of guy who would give anyone a back lotion.
I don't want anyone to burn.
I don't want anybody to cook out there.
It is not safe.
Should we read the AI answer?
Yeah, I guess so.
The idea of moms shaving their sons or vice versa is not a common practice
and typically isn't something that is documented
or studied in a statistical set.
So A.I.A. is cooked.
Thank you, the computer.
Is my friend's mom cooked by the sun?
Can you imagine someone pouring water out
as they answer, do moms shave their sons?
It says the behavior can vary greatly
based on cultural norms.
Wow, thank you so much, Assistant Gorobot.
Yeah, pretty conservative answer there.
Not very bold.
I wouldn't let anyone shave me.
You can't shave me.
What if it was like someone's fetish?
Am I getting paid?
What if it was this guy with bad teeth?
Yeah, somebody with really bad teeth, Claire.
Is he paying me?
Teeth like a playground.
You know about this story that Alicia Cat told on that Vice show
about she hooked up with a famous actor.
No.
But before they hooked up, he insisted on shaving her.
Well, okay.
But that is like, that's sexual.
That's like a fetish thing.
intimate yeah that's better than shaving your mom that's that's shave play you're right you're
right you're right i mean unless she was like i don't want that and he was like no i'm shaving
you mommy i'm taking your hair yeah oh wait and who did it turn out to be brad pitt oh whoa wait
he's weird wait is that confirmed this is a real hearsay situation age gap wasn't age gap she
dating Brad Pitt
at one point?
Probably.
I think that was a rumor.
I think they like
hung out as friends.
I saw a picture
of them together.
Yeah, yeah.
No, I think they were
like friends
because they're both
sort of like smart
and into architecture.
Yeah.
And now she's
with the clown.
Which one?
Dr. Brown.
I don't know about this.
I gotta look up my clowns.
He's a professional clown.
He's a professional.
You wouldn't know him.
He's from the clown circus.
Is he hot?
Yeah.
He's a sexual clown.
He's a hot clown?
Dr. Brown?
Dr. Brown the sexy clown?
His clown name.
This is a minefield.
Do you guys see where I'm coming from
about not wanting a barber to shave you?
Because that's very common, too.
I don't really care.
I don't know.
I haven't had it done.
I think that's cool when they did that.
It's so easy to Sweeney Todd my ass.
That's the thing.
It's stressful.
When you grow up with the imagery of Sweeney Todd,
it's really tough to allow someone to take a knife to your neck.
From our community, being people who have seen Sweeney Todd,
or even the trailer,
do not threaten to shave me.
I have trauma.
is only shaved by bad men
who insist that he shave his pubes.
Bad men create
strong shaves.
Strong shaves create good men.
I don't know.
I got a little confused there.
Let's do our listener question and then close this out.
We got very stuck on the space
this week, but it was a beautiful one.
It was a beautiful space.
Is that okay?
Welcome to Is That Okay?
These are our listener questions. Please write in
Quarriors at gmail.com with your questions for us.
Hey, Quarriors.
What's the line between snarking and gang stalking?
My wife is part of a Reddit that, like, snarks on a YouTube mom fluencer.
But when her neighbor is coming out, talking to her, and then going and talking to the Reddit,
is that gang stalking things?
Whoa.
It's a community that—
What is snarking?
well i do know that like specifically with momfluencers and stuff there's like very active
reddit communities that are called like mom snark or like new york influencers oh sure and it's like
everyone just like dragging all these kind of social media influencers mostly women oh and i
think but i also sort of think not to victim blame but it's like that feeds into the notoriety that
a lot of these people have because their entire existence is responding to controversies basically
what was her name conway claudia conway caroline caroline calloway say her name i mean honestly
say her name and honestly it's so much worse now like she seems quaint in comparison to she just
wanted a book deal really as far as i understand she also like i mean i think she's whatever kind
of cuckoo but there's there was something like performance art slash like campy about her whole
vibe whereas there's something so like dead-eyed and kind of machiavellian about a lot of the
current influencers in a scary way and sometimes they're robbing a bank or something is their end
goal which is that's where we keep all of our money and i need it to be safe having just heard
of this phenomenon of snarking just now i would say if you are bothering someone in real life
with a community of people that is what the concept of gang stalking is quite literally
gang stalking so maybe it's just like if you're pro gang stalking this is the fun thing you call
it but you know it might be the same thing if this is you're just like a mom's gang you're a
gang of moms you're stalking moms you know i it's i get into these holes of like being obsessed with
some gay guy that i think is annoying and i just have to say like you have to resist it like
nothing good will come of snarking like even if it's temporarily uh a release to be like god i'm
glad i found a community of people who think this person's annoying it's not good it's a poison pill
spiritually bad yeah it is poison it's in the negative community you should be in a love
community yeah that's right community go watch a film watch bridget jones's diary
check out gladiator instead bridge jones's diary two i recently saw both of these movies is that
strange this is these are like new films to me i also love in that movie where they're like she's
so fat yeah she's disgusting gross pig cow yeah that didn't i don't know if like that was a joke
at the time or just aged very strangely but uh i haven't seen it you know women go through so much
