Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

Hopefully I will never have to hear about Tim Pool and his stupid fucking beanie ever again.

Like what a transparently shallow fuckhead. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with going bald, it happens to a ton of people. If you’re self conscious about it that’s understandable but for the love of fuck all don’t put a beanie on and wear it 100% of the time, even when it’s 99% humidity outside, and pretend like it’s your fucking brand or whatever. Just take that $100k an episode AND GO GET HAIR PLUGS YOU STUPID FUCK LOOK AT MUSKS HAIR WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU TIMMY.

I really, really, really hate Tim Poole.

It’s a MAGA secret, but Tim Pool’s beanie is also his nightly cumsock.

[–] WhatYouNeed@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

That's the secret glue he uses to hold the beanie on his head.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

I hope he blew all that money on stuff like staff etc, believing it was all his efforts making it possible.

Yeah. Modify your body to fit your desires (but if you do you’re a massive hypocrite if you judge others for the same) or learn to accept that your body will sometimes change in ways that you don’t like, but for many of those changes you can learn to live with it and be happy in it. The beanie is weird. Like if it was just a style thing I’d be sympathetic, my wife wears flannel in the dead of summer too, but he acts pathological about it.

Balding is a part of life for many people. Dihydrotestosterone is a byproduct of the metabolism of testosterone. As someone who personally hated all of the effects of a testosterone dominant body I sympathize with not liking it, there are DHT blockers that can even help with that. But just hiding the hair loss is a strange choice.
