Just look at all this other stuff - it will make you feel better about the conflagration outside your door
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.
Fuck that’s accurate
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.
"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."
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.
That is a lot of effort to say that you don't care....
Yes but did you hear about Cracker Barrel??
That they fired Brad's wife after eleven years of service?
idk OP... this is a lot more effort than I put into things idgaf about.
love this and I love how it's triggering all the Swifties
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.
I’m annoyed by celebrity culture, but geezus anti-celebrity culture can be just as insufferable.
Just tune it out people.
Just tune it out people.
I only ever seem to hear about Taylor Swift via memes that tell me not to care about Taylor Swift.
No! People need to get their heads out of their ass and focus on what is important.
It is right and just to hate on people who only speak up when the topic is useless drivel. They should be ashamed of their inaction and their complacency is disgusting.
I think we're at a point where we can all agree that having interests beyond what's serious and exigent is healthy and reasonable. Now we need to get past the idea that not liking something that's popular (like sports and entertainment) makes you better than people who do. It doesn't make you better.
People who like Taylor and Travis and want them to do well are not automatically complacent in other areas of their lives. They don't have their heads up their asses for this reason. They have nothing to be ashamed of, talking about topics that, in your opinion, are useless drivel. Especially here, on the internet.
My grievances come from the fact that there’s no counterweight. Posting this type of thing is not inherently bad, but it’s all these people ever post.
I agree, people can enjoy things I don’t enjoy! But by exclusively posting vapid content, they are diluting the content pool and drowning out what is important.
Your inaction is your admission of acceptance.
The first I heard of Swift's engagement was reporters asking Trump to react, cause every fucking thing is about Trump
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 :)
Everyone should really read ALL of this image. The headline obviously resonates with a ton of people, but there is a bigger message here that people need to engage with.
I don’t know if this is OC from the author or not, but this is genuinely brilliant.

I’m 44 and this is actually stone cold sober reality but have a day friend.
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.
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.
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?
Nah, why not both?
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.
Baby on board. That was her plan all along in her "grooming" this guy pun intended. Which is fine. Just saying it was obvious from the get go. She has more money than Gos and the only thing she doesn't have is a baby.
