Being mad about this instead of Dave Coulier "dating" Alanis Morisette when he was in his 30s and she was 17 is like being mad at Obama about wearing a tan suit and not all the drone bombings or mass-deportations.

We're bad at picking what to be pissed about.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 49 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Well you say that, but this Stamos guy is a fucking asshole, why didn't he simply go rogue and shave his head and shutdown whatever production he is working on while his hair grows back, like those people working on it with him can take a few months without pay

[–] TheMinions@lemmy.world 27 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This was my first thought. I bet his hair has it’s own contract and he couldn’t break it.

Having been forced to make a gesture at gun point a bald cap remained his only option

It really did rain on my wedding day and I did not see the irony of the situation. We were inside so it really wasn't a problem.

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It was forecasted to rain on my wedding day and my wife nearly died, so I bought seven purple umbrellas and one big white umbrella so they could take pictures in the rain. It didn't rain until after pictures. Is that irony?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Even our photos were inside because we got married in this sort of high-end mall that was on the courthouse square and had a giant ballroom at the top floor. We had the ceremony and reception there, and there was a very pretty fountain on the ground floor where we did the pictures.

My brother also got married in a ballroom. In Alabama. In view of the "First White House of the Confederacy." We are not Southerners but his wife is. It was also a Gone With the Wind themed wedding. They claim they have no racial prejudices but after that, it was pretty hard to buy. And that was before the day my brother decided to post to everyone on Facebook that he would yell the N-word when he was alone in his car because it was transgressive. (But he doesn't do it to be racist, he swears!)

Really looking forward to visiting him in Atlanta in a couple weeks. I haven't seen him in 10 years and was hoping to keep it that way, but my mom is elderly and won't take a plane and so I'm driving her. At least I'm going to be staying with friends instead of him.

Sorry, I needed to rant for a second.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Best of luck, friend. That's a good thing you're doing for your mom. I, too, have a troublesome brother in a southern state, and even my own family members have told me, "If you ever visit him, for the love of god, get a hotel. Do NOT stay at his house." I'm glad you have friends that you can stay with instead. Hopefully you'll arrive back home with more fun memories of friends than anything else.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Thanks. And now I feel bad because I just checked Facebook and he announced that his kitty died. So I apparently killed his kitty by ranting. He couldn't take me badmouthing my brother and saw only one way out.

[–] Whats_your_reasoning@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Oof, poor kitty. And isn't that just what this trip needed - more uncomfortable tension in the air. Is your brother the type of person to find comfort from talking about a recently-deceased pet? Or will it just make things more awkward?

My brother (and his wife) practically house a menagerie/farm. Not that they care about animals in some particular way, I honestly don't know why they do anything they do. But I know that for them, life just rolls on.

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

I don't think it will make things more tense or anything. I just was like, "oof, karma."

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

This story took me for a ride. In a car. Where the driver was yelling the N-word. But it's okay because it's transgressive, even though I guess I don't know what that means.

There was a blizzard on mine. No irony though, just bad weather.

I wonder if they can cut it out.

[–] papalonian@lemmy.world 13 points 1 month ago

John checking his xitter replies like "oh mylanta 😩"

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 6 points 1 month ago

cutting out fake drama? they can't, they crave it.

[–] Davel23@fedia.io 38 points 1 month ago (2 children)

Ok, I kinda get it. His looks are his living, without those he has nothing. But seeing as that is the case, he might have found another way to support his friend rather than an empty, performative stunt.

[–] john117@lemmy.jmsquared.net 43 points 1 month ago

rather than an empty, performative stunt.

looks to me both parties are enjoying themselves in the photo, doesn't look empty or performative at all. if Dave Coulier was cool with it, thats all that matters imo

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 29 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Isn't shaving one's head an "empty performative stunt"? It doesn't provide any benefit to the cancer patient.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I don't think so if you're fond of your hair. Even if it grows back, it's a symbolic sacrifice in solidarity--a nice firm hug. A bald cap feels like a limp hug or a pat on the head.

[–] Dragonstaff@leminal.space 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not that anyone should feel obligated to shave their head, but one major thing is that his hair is literally his livelihood. He may be under contract not to change his appearance, and shaving one's head (especially at that age) might do permanent damage.

I doubt that Dave would want John to shave his head. But they're good friends, and our opinion from the sidelines doesn't really matter that much.

I'm gonna give Stamos the benefit of the doubt as say maybe he needs the hair for work. No seriously. He's an actor, their appearance and image are work relevant.

[–] tkk13909@sopuli.xyz 32 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I see nothing wrong with doing a gesture in support of a friend.

[–] Shir0a@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

I think what people see as wrong with it is these sorts of gestures are usually actually shaving your hair off in support. As a way of saying you're in this together and there to support the individual. This method comes off as disingenuous because you can just take the cap off and go back to your normal life, the other person can't.

Ultimately it's between them, but if you're going to publicize it. It comes off as shallow and an attempt at making yourself a part of someone else's illness

[–] tyrefyre@sh.itjust.works 24 points 1 month ago (3 children)

So what you’re supposed to cut your arm off to support a one armed friend?

Cut it out!

[–] theangryseal@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Hehe, β€œcut it out”. Hehe.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Well if it grew back like hair….

[–] tyrefyre@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 month ago

Right. I’m calling out the person in the screenshot who compared it to arms.

[–] Lemminary@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

And the easiest way to lose a few pounds. Win-win!

[–] udon@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago

Look at his hairline. He's balding anyway so just gave it a try to see if he likes it. Made a PR campaign out of it, end of story

[–] sartalon@lemmy.world 16 points 1 month ago (2 children)

A. Who gives a fuck if Stamos didn't actually shave his head.

B. Fuck Dave Coulier.

Coulier looks good bald. Stamos, not so much.

I think when you're probably shooting (as in filming) stuff you can't just shave your head in the middle of an ongoing project.

Otherwise I'd agree with the sentiment he should actually shave his hair but in this specific circumstance it doesn't feel disingenuous.

Cut ✌️

Out πŸ‘

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Guess he really is paranoid about his hair

[–] Dozzi92@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago (1 children)

He's got a great head of hair. My wife thinks he's a bit of a nutter though, but in a good, nice way.

I wish I looked as good bald as they do. I have a head as lumpy as an overripe orange.

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)
[–] clay_pidgin@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Very true! I look like an overripe fruit and I smell as though that fruit were a durian.

[–] blackluster117@possumpat.io 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Which is considered a delicacy in some places. All about knowing your people.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago

Durian may smell awful but damn is it tasty. Like vanilla pudding.

Maybe he expected the fans to have mercy on him.

[–] Remotedeck@discuss.tchncs.de 5 points 1 month ago

This reminds me of that reddit story about a mom who was pissed and went off on a hair stylist who wouldn't shave his head for her daughter who had cancer
