This is such a nonsensical take. For every guy on the PGA Tour, there are thousands of guys grinding and practicing who will never make it. You don’t see Jordan Spieth telling people who suck at golf to just quit. Blogging is the same thing. Everyone puts their product into the marketplace and the cream rises to the top. Thats how the talent is found. Just because you “made it to the pros of blogging” by being published on a Grandex platform doesn’t mean everyone else beneath that should just quit.
Accurate take. This place next to my apartment makes every $8 scoop in front of you using liquid nitrogen, and it tastes no better than Blue Bell. Complete bullshit.
If that were the point, then you could summarize the entire series by saying: “Guy is a delusional douchebag who chooses to be an even bigger douchebag in every possible way while having zero redeeming qualities and no girls like him. Also, here are a bunch of douchey, expensive brand drops. The end. Not interesting.” The series has potential, but sprinkling in a little subtlety and and tact wouldn’t be the worst thing in the world.
I realize that this budding series is somewhat of an antithesis to TGDAG, but am I the only one that thinks everything about the writing comes off as a try-hard ripoff of deFries? I know this comment section isn’t afraid of letting a writer know what they think (Kendra), so it just seems odd that no one has pointed this out. With TGDAG, deFries thrives with subtle, well-placed references, whereas this is just product placement and brand name word vomit. TGDAG works so well because, despite Girl being exceedingly basic and kind of shitty as a person, she continues to get a pass from the world because she’s hot and pampered, which continues to enable her behavior, makes her desirable to Todd, and keeps around her group of catty friends. Our protagonist her, however, is just a douchebag in every possible sense, which doesn’t work near as well because, although this guy does exist, he seems to repulse every girl around him. His delusion that he’s actually awesome is mildly funny, but how far can it continue to work as an ethos upon which his character is built? The white Oakleys were a dead giveaway for me. The dude isn’t just a classic douchebag, he’s a caricature of a classic douchebag. I think the character would work much better if he actually had traits and behaved in ways a “cool” guy would, but beneath his cool exterior, he was a classic douchebag.
Fast forward two years; it’s the Sunday before the Bar Exam. You feel the exact same way, even though you haven’t been out in weeks. Scaries times a hundred million.

Yes, I believe that’s John’s take.

I will watch the bi-weekly showing of Oceans’s Eleven to completion from literally any point.
Oscar sure should have..

One word: Scientology.
Viper is bringing serious heat with that fit.
No mention of Dickie Moltisanti? Guy’s a legend.
He’s more of a David Simms, imo
Daddy’s Home is the biggest piece of shit I’ve ever seen. Good riddance.

After about a week, you won’t know why you didn’t make the switch sooner. I’m exclusively commando from March to October.
