When you see blocked under someone's reskeet, is it because the original poster has you blocked? Or they blocked the reskeeter?

I thought being blocked on here disappeared everything about a person, even the reskeets of their stuff.

‼️ I never liked his incredible music being reduced solely to the “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” video. The Voodoo tour caused him a lot of pain.

Article (Amy Wallace; GQ) excerpt reads: “D'Angelo felt tortured, Questlove says, by the pressure to give the audience what it wanted. Worried that he didn't look as cut as he did in the video, he'd delay shows to do stomach crunches. He'd often give in, peeling off his shirt, but he resented being reduced to that. Wasn't he an artist? Couldn't the audience hear the power of his music and value him for that? He would explode, Questlove recalls, and throw things. Sometimes he'd have to be coad not to cancel shows altogether.

When I ask D about this, he downplays his suffering. Watching him pull hard on another Newport, I realize that he finds it far easier to confess his addictions than his insecurities about his corporeal self. Self-destructing with a coke spoon—while ill-advised—has a badass edge. Fretting over what Questlove has called "some Kate Moss shit" seems anything but manly. If given the chance, he tells me, he would absolutely shoot the video again. But he does admit to feeling angry during the Voodoo tour.”

“Amen! (D'Angelo's Back)” via GQ

Article (Amy Wallace; GQ) excerpt reads: "’One time I got mad when a female threw money at me onstage, and that made me feel fucked-up, and I threw the money back at her,’ he says. ‘I was like, 'I'm not a stripper.' He was beginning to sense a darkness beckoning. He recalls a particular moment onstage at the North Sea Jazz festival in 2000. The band was in the middle of ‘Devil's Pie,’ his song about the spell fame casts upon the weak—Who am I to justify / All the evil in our eye / When I myself feel the high / From all that I despise—when he felt an ominous presence in the crowd. ‘That night I felt something that was like, whoa,’ he tells me. E-vil.

On the last day of the eight-month tour, Questlove says D'Angelo told him, ‘Yo, man, I cannot wait until this fucking tour is over. I'm going to go in the woods, drink some hooch, grow a beard, and get fat.’ Questlove thought he was joking. I was like, ‘You're a funny guy.’ And then it started to happen. That's how much he wanted to distance himself."

While the tour was a success, both critically and commercially, it left D broken. ‘When I got back home, yeah, it wasn't that easy to just be,’ he says. ‘I think that's the thing that got me in a lot of trouble: me trying to just be Michael, the regular old me from back in the day, and me fighting that whole sex-symbol thing. You know: 'Hey, I ain't D'Angelo today. I'm just plain old Mike, and I just want to hang out with my boys and do what we used to do.' But, damn, those days are fucking gone."

This isn't just about gaming. Many of the men most hostile to women are also not "winners" in any other manner. Especially those who complain about women being independent or not "letting" them be men. They're mad at their station in life and take it out on women who are ANY level of successful.

Graphic saying:

Male behavior towards female gamers
See also: Sexism in video gaming
A 2015 study found that lower-skilled male players of Halo 3 were more hostile towards teammates with a female voice, but behaved more submissively to players with a male voice.
Higher-skilled male players, on the other hand, behaved more positively towards female players. The authors argued the male hostility towards female gamers in terms of evolutionary psychology, writing, "female-initiated disruption of a male hierarchy incites hostile behaviour from poor performing males who stand to lose the most status". [100]
Still the best gaming fact.

My friend tried to open up this conversation with Chadwick.

It all really sucks because a lot of doctors are getting worse. I mean I tried to figure out what I’m allergic to once, asked my (at the time) doctor and he used ChatGPT then shrugged at not getting a good answer.

This shit all sucks man.

I’d been thinking for a while that it seems like a startling number of rappers have died in their mid-40s to mid-50s from natural causes but it didn’t really feel like an epidemic until I saw this list. 😦
