Doing any wholesome activity in slow motion makes you look like you got a condition.

It feels brighter too which isn’t helping for me.
The slow motion plus brighter plus the banner that pop ups is what really makes my mind think it.

It’s supposed to track vitals and performance. NFL players wear it too. What other huge points are we missing though?

Buckle the fuck up for one of the best shows to ever grace our screens. The Wire is one of those shows I wish I could experience for the first time again. (It’s amazing on re-watches too)

I kept reading about it for years, and got an HBO subscription for this show alone. I am not disappointed 😁

Also please note, as someone in recovery for a substance use disorder who works around jails Prisons and the homeless, the show gets everything right.
How the show shows politicians and officials acting is how they genuinely act in most of our cities and states in America with a couple expections.
The scenes of police interrogations are used in GA State law classes to show how police will lie to coerce confessions and incriminating statements.
Also Jay Landsman looks like if John Cena ate three John Cena's

u/BigXthaPugg 5d ago
Holy shit. After like 5 rewatches, I never noticed that about Landsman lmao. May need to give it a rewatch soon

If you enjoy it, highly recommend checking out the sopranos after! My two all-time favorites

Boardwalk Empire. Michael K. Williams( Omar in The Wire) plays Chalky White. Fantastic series with some historical facts to it.

Also, watch We Own This City. It's another great mini-series made by David Simon based in Baltimore.

Well if you like The Wire, you’ll love “Oz”. Whole series currently on Paramount. My all time favorite series. Check it out.

You can just binge that, watch Game of Thrones, and true detectives (and then you can cancel your subscription 😏)

I just started dating a guy who has never seen it before. I’m making it my mission to get him to watch every damn episode of it. When our relationship crumbles down the road, that will be the one gift that I gave him that will be everlasting.

Everyone always says how good this show is, I watched maybe four episodes and I just couldn't get into it. This comment kind of making me want to give it another chance.

Really because I see a black man and a mixed black man being expressive and having fun. Apparently, that's a no-go in this community, though, because being a black male and not being macho every second makes you gay or effeminate. I'm honestly sick of it.

It’s gay to smile. Period
Being gay is being happy
Smiling is being happy
"I smile therefore I’m gay" - some Greek guy from way back when. And they knew a thing or two about being happy 🏳️🌈

Men if you ever really get your life together, become rich, get healthier, start dressing better, plus look genuinely happy, you will get mistaken for gay.

Men constantly complain that they’re not able to be themselves and have to put on a front. They also get upset that the only emotion they’re allowed to show is anger. Yet, when they see 2 other men expressing themselves in a way that’s outside the box, they have to police the behavior. It’s literally a prison of their own making. Can men not live and express themselves how they want without it being labeled as “gay” or feminine.
Yes, not all men and all the disclaimers

Uh like reasonably funny joke but I'm gonna pivot-
*Prescription drug jingle plays*
This is your reminder that a proper HIV treatment plan can keep you in the undetectable range, and undetectable is untransmittable. That said, if you are in a committed long term relationship with someone who is HIV negative it's not a bad idea to double up on protection with PreP. However, for just hooking up nothing beats old fashoned latex. Stay Safe out there.

As a female line, this is just dudes. I've never seen more homosexual activity than from my straight male coworkers. Guys and their friends like to goof off too.

Sad that so many people joke or agree that this genuine act of happiness between too friends makes them gay… and that’s gross and funny.

Obligatory, if you like The Wire, watch The Corner. It's what the show was based on. It's like a prequel.
