Alice Cooper is actually opposed to drug usage nowadays after years of memory blackout during his addiction

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 18 points 5 months ago

Yeah he's on some other shit now. Strange to think that after all these years Alice Cooper finally got weird

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

How does he know he had an addiction, then?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 months ago

Yeah but I'm sure he still understands that cannabis didn't do that to him.

Milwaukei, an old Algonquin word meaning "The Good Land".

Well now I'm conflicted do I want to be Alice Cooper or Steve carell more? What happens if I just drink excessively?

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 42 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Cooper is Trump supporter and a known transphobe. Fuck that guy.

I don't understand people.

When I was younger and so fucking broke I felt helpless, pissed off at the world. When I got my feet under me and started earning okay money, then really good money..... money quickly lost its importance to me. I finally had the capacity to do things for other people. I took my friends out on the town, on me, tried to do random acts of kindness for people. Bought gifts for my partner.

I'd always thought when I could live above subsistence level that it would be me that I'd get the most satisfaction out of spending money on, but it was doing things for others that actually made me happy.

I just don't understand why money has the opposite effect on people. How do you have wealth and fame and just not give a fuck about anyone but yourself, and turn it into a whole political philosophy?

There are 2 kinds of people: those who were born with empathy and those who learned to mimic it. You live among the descendents of nature's most extreme survivalists. The transactionalist is simply wired to act in best interest, which sometimes means feigning empathy.

Religion seems to be an answer for these types of people. It's an escape from real and true empathy, a justification for acts that otherwise would be unacceptable.

[–] krooklochurm@lemmy.ca 8 points 5 months ago

When I was broke I had zero empathy, really. I didn't mimic it. It just wasn't there. I was angry at the world that everything was so hard.

Empathy came much later in life for me than others, I think, but did come. I couldn't understand other people until I better understood myself.

That was just my own path through life but I fall into neither camp.

I hate that

so fucking much

Alice was my favourite artist during my teens/early 20s.

a significant chunk of my life happened with his music in the background.

now I don't want to listen to him.

was never into Harry Potter, bit Alice Cooper is my Jk Rowling.

An Alice Cooper comedy biopic played by Steve Carell.

I'm sorry to write those words, because it'll likely won't happen.

Sooo... Marijuana helps grow hair? 🤔

I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints, and then I smoke two more...

[–] huppakee@feddit.nl 3 points 5 months ago (1 children)

How do you manage all the hair growth??

[–] unwarlikeExtortion@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 months ago

You need to have a good hairdresser. Or multiple if you want your "problem" under wraps.

[–] Anivia@feddit.org 2 points 5 months ago

Technically yes, it increases Estrogen and decreases DHT, so it theoretically helps with male pattern baldness. But at best it slows it down a little, if even that, it certainly won't reverse it

[–] Simulation6@sopuli.xyz 9 points 5 months ago (2 children)

got those King Charles sausage fingers going for him now.

[–] spinne@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 months ago

That's what happens if Steve Carrell smokes a marijuanas!

[–] Bonesince1997@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago (1 children)

40 year old virgin no more

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago

Still a virgin. Just twice as old now.

[–] Bonus@sh.itjust.works 7 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Aw, he looks like a sweetie

[–] Supervisor194@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

I have less than no use for his religion/politics, but his shows are a lot of fun and he (thankfully) keeps that shit completely out of them. For such an old dude, you'd think he wouldn't be able to still be such an entertainer, but his shows are wild - giant monsters, huge sets, pyrotechnics - a lot of fun.

Also, damn - he really does look like an old haggard Steve Carrell.
