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

[–] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 17 points 1 week 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 1 week ago

How does he know he had an addiction, then?

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 week 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 1 week 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.

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.

[–] Greddan@feddit.org 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It happens to old people. Their cognitive abilities as well as their mental health fail over time. They have a harder time empathising with others and become more susceptible to misinformation. It can be hard to detect since many people at that age have fallen into a routine, pretty much living in auto mode, doing what they've always done. If you poke at that routine though...

I still doubt that can make you maga, you gotta have some hate in you to begin with.

And Alice Cooper especially, he used to write songs about the weakest most vulnerable people, TF can make you turn.

or was he just doing it for the show?

An Alice Cooper comedy biopic played by Steve Carell.

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

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

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

How do you manage all the hair growth??

[–] unwarlikeExtortion@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 week ago

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

[–] Anivia@feddit.org 2 points 1 week 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 1 week ago (2 children)

got those King Charles sausage fingers going for him now.

[–] spinne@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

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

40 year old virgin no more

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

Still a virgin. Just twice as old now.

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

Aw, he looks like a sweetie

[–] Supervisor194@lemmy.world 12 points 1 week 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.
