This is exactly how i kiss as well. I've never understood why ppl purse their lips (you look like a duck!) . For me, it's always been closed mouth, lips tight, and aiming for the mustache, so our lips dont actually meet and my mouth never looks weird for the cameras.
Hi sorry is this sarcasm as in you're making light of how Taylor is missing the guy in the photo or are you being genuine
People that idolize celebs are wild to me. Taylor wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire girl.
As I've gotten older my celebs are people that put tutorials on YouTube. Like oh shit, ishaan my favorite electrician just dropped a fire new video on neutrals and grounding on 3 phase. Or that one homesteader just dropped a short on how to grow bigger pumpkins, get the popcorn
Absolutely. I wish Taylor Swift all the best, just like I do anyone, but I couldn't care less about her or her life. Alec Watson from Technology Connections? I'd take a bullet for that guy.
I don't wish all the best to any billionaire.
You're a fundamentally failed human being if you allow yourself to hoard this much wealth. At least tech billionaires pretend to have some sort of ideal goal they're working on but entertainer just be straight up pure narcissists.
I believe that the best for billionaires is to be relieved of the morally corrupting influence of their wealth, and I do wish that for them.
love this and I love how it's triggering all the Swifties
If we ban private jets, billionaires will just buy every seat on the commercial jet. This will be even more inefficient fuel wise, and worse for the environment overall.
Don't ban private jets. Ban billionaires.
Nah, why not both?
There is an African tribe that picks the wealthiest member of the tribe to take care of everyone until they are broke. They do this willingly because after they spend all their money the tribe takes care of them. They will never need a place to stay because anyone would host them. They don't need food or clothing because anyone would give them whatever they need.
We need reset like this. A way to make wealth accumulation a positive thing.
Which tribe does this?
It was in my Anthropology book, I will have to go dig around for it. I tried a Google search but all I could get was crap.
This can be done right now. The problem is finding the people who want to live like that. So who wants to live like that? Please reply.
Obviously no one. That goes without saying.
Why? If you say that we should live like that don't you want it for yourself?
I was saying we need something positive to benefit society and the wealthy person to deal with people accumulating too much wealth.
The story just shows us it is possible and makes me think of other possibilities.
Which other possibilities do you have in mind?
It has to be a solution that benefits both parties, but I also recognize that one party is giving up something tangible.
They have to be compensated in some real way. That is why I propose make a wish for the ultra wealthy. We pick an obscenely rich person, take 99% of what they own, and give them the one thing money can't buy. A real wish that can be anything humans can reasonably provide.
A limit of seats per person?
then they'll bring along their security escort.
No I am not entertained. In fact. I am fed up with all the coverage of them. Let them live their lives in peace so those of us out here tired of the show can also live in peace.
"We should stop indulging in celebrity and start GIVING A FUCK!"
"Okay, what should we care about?"
"Wow, thanks. Now I'm full of helpless anxiety. Anything I can do about any of this?"
"DO SOMETHING! DO SOMETHING! DO SOMETHING!"
"Well, this has been enervating as fuck. If you don't mind, I'm going back to hide in my den and watch movies until the world ends."
I really despise this type of argument. There's plenty you can care about that isn't billionaire pop stars or famines.
Theres so much optimistic shit these days and education has never been this accessible. Join a book club, environmental club, local community, hobby niche, care about different countries and regions. I barely find enough free time for all these activities.
There are literally a billion things you should care more about than a billionaires getting engaged. It's frankly disgusting.
"Wake up sheeple!"
"OK cool youre right I see now, I understand. What are we gonna do about it?"
"They've played you for fools! WAKE UP SEE WHATS HAPPENING"
"Yeah I see its awful. How can we help?"
"You're a pawn in their game WAKE UP"
"Fuck it gonna go have a wank"
I think the key here is "we". Collectively if people had a common understanding of what is going on in the world they would be appalled and demand more of our leaders (or get new ones)
Instead people vaguely know what is going on, through the biased lense of their news sources.
I think if you asked most Americans who Netanyahu is and what he is doing you'd get a blank stare. If you ask them what is up with tswift they would excitedly explain that she just got engaged and recently had a crazy expensive tour.
How any of this gets corrected is beyond me, and that's exactly how the people in power want it.

Idk about that. His name has been in national news for decades. Like, maybe somewhere behind Vladimir Putin and Kim Jung Un in terms of US visibility.

Say what you will about the Trotskyists, but they looooved making newspapers. I don't think there's a shortage of modern Alt-Media, either. Not hard to get an earful of press about the state of the world. What's much more tricky is coordinating actions, particularly at the local level. There is not, to my knowledge, a Houston-centric news organization that does a good job of organizing and orienting local people on municipal issues. But I'm a white atheist professional worker out in the suburbs, so its very possible I'm just out of touch with what more radical and well-connected folks in churches and labor unions are up to.
Reminds me of this headline from The Onion from right after 9/11
I miss the time when the president wearing a tan suit was the biggest scandal in politics.
But at the same time, don't obsess over a bunch of shit you can't change. The doom and gloom is mostly there to sell you shit anyway. Unhappy people spend more.
You can't fix it. It's not your job. Unless you want it to be your job by running for government, just vote appropriately for people that might help fix it. That's your little bit done.
Live your life. Go for a bike ride. Knock one out.
Oh? What am I being sold other than clickbait?
Yes but did you hear about Cracker Barrel??
That they fired Brad's wife after eleven years of service?

Let people be happy about something. this is not helping anyone.
-
if there is ONE person on the planet who would by popular vote be allowed to have a private jet, it's TayTay.

Gossip was and is a part of human nature, denying it makes no friends for your cause. Don't call it bullshit, just because you don't care.
If you want to DO ACTUAL GOOD:
put a story of palestinian/israleli couple on the fake front page.
Highlight the out of control Israel government with a story that shows protests in israel.
Be FOR something instead of AGAINST something.
I am FOR the end of billionaires and celebrity worship.
That's the sprit :)
You can argue they are for the end of worthless celebrity worship. Which is something I stand with
How about you let people be mad about something then? Maybe change can happen. Take your own fucking advice.
Stop promoting celebrity worship you ghoul.
This made me laugh, thank you :)
Right?
Who gives a flying fuck?
I guess the answer is apparently a shit ton of losers with no lives of their own.
I feel insulted that I've even been forced to be made aware of this over the last 48 hours.
