Cool story bro

Doorknob cleaning.

I heard she's got something huge and sinister planned for the upcoming Pennzoil 400 presented by Jiffy Lube.

[-] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago

She can go back to being an unknown nobody now /s

[-] captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works 14 points 9 months ago

I sat through the superbowl because family gathering.

I thought it was mildly dumb that they kept occasionally switching over to Taylor Swift's booth. "DID WE MENTION POPULAR WOMAN IS ALSO HERE? LOOK AT THE CELEBRITY."

[-] bluewing@lemm.ee 12 points 9 months ago

One can hope I guess.

I'm just tired of all the noise about Kelcie/Swift romance and the general public's fascination for/against it.

Her bf sounded like an idiot in his time on the stage

[+] rab@lemmy.ca -13 points 9 months ago

And what do they even talk about, football? Tswift probably doesn't know anything about football except slam dunks

[-] DigitalTraveler42@lemmy.world 14 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Way to assume that she doesn't know anything about football, why because she's a girl? Your misogyny is showing, there's female NFL refs and executives now, football definitely isn't just for men anymore.

Taylor Swift grew up in redneck Tennessee and Eagles crazy Philadelphia, she's probably had plenty of opportunity to absorb football culture.

Also you're assuming the only thing Kelsie can talk about is football, ala the dumb jock stereotype, I've played football most of my youth and I'll tell you first hand that there are all kinds of people on any team.

[-] RizzRustbolt@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago

They're both surprisingly knowledgeable about leather goods.

[-] Pika@sh.itjust.works 0 points 9 months ago

Not the person but, you are the one inserting the mysogimy here. It could easily have been a popstar/personality statement, that's where I thought it was till I read your comment assuming it.

[+] rab@lemmy.ca -9 points 9 months ago

It was just a joke

[-] DigitalTraveler42@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Says every asshole who gets caught saying asshole things.

Weak.

[-] rab@lemmy.ca 1 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Slam dunk is a basketball term I think? I thought that made the joke obvious

I promise it was an attempt at a joke but call me an asshole if you want I guess

[-] DigitalTraveler42@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago

Slam dunk is a basketball term I think? I thought that made the joke obvious

Less a joke and more a snarky sarcastic comment again misogynisticly assuming she wouldn't know the difference between the two sports.

But sure asshole, keep digging that hole.

Again you're just being that asshole saying asshole things while looking around and asking "what? Why's everyone mad? Did I offend someone? But it was just a joke" as if that absolves you from judgement.

[-] rab@lemmy.ca -5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I hate lemmy so much

I was thinking pop star is dumb not woman is dumb lmao, there's zero nuance here

I could make the exact same fucking joke if it were Kanye dating a woman athlete for example

[-] DigitalTraveler42@lemmy.world -2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I hate lemmy so much

So blame the platform because the userbase doesn't think your low quality attempts at humor are less funny and more insulting?

I was thinking pop star is dumb not woman is dumb lmao, there's zero nuance here

Why base your shitty "joke" on her intelligence at all? That's just opening the door to accusations of misogyny. Also how is she dumb? Last time I checked she's got like a billion dollars, being dumb costs money, just look at how much money Elon lost after deciding that coming out as a 4chan level Neo-Nazi, and I wouldn't even necessarily say he's dumb, just making dumb moves and saying dumb things and stupidly aligning himself with shitty people, while alienating his primary customer base.

I could make the exact same fucking joke if it were Kanye dating a woman athlete for example

So you think you could make a joke about a black dude not knowing the difference between football and basketball? Or you think it would be a good idea to insult a black dudes intelligence based on something arbitrary and stereotypical? Really you think that's a good idea for a "joke"?

I mean at least Kanye has done and said tons of actually dumb shit, but it's wild that you pick Kanye as your backup example, who stupidly made an ass of himself repeatedly while attempting to interact with Taylor Swift.

Maybe don't hate Lemmy and instead hate your brain, because you don't seem to think things through very well.

Comedy definitely is not for everyone, and what's funny is subjective, maybe you should take your "comedy" over to Facebook or Truth Social where they love misogynistic social commentary, I'm sure you'll be a hit with the Chuds on those platforms.

[-] rab@lemmy.ca -5 points 9 months ago

You must seriously struggle with the real world on the rare chance you log off

[-] DigitalTraveler42@lemmy.world -3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Oh is that more comedy funny guy? Haha terminally online jokes on a platform where most of the userbase is terminally online is soooo smart, funny, and original. /s

Don't worry dickhead, I log off when I'm not looking to escape my work day for a few minutes, not that it's any of your business at all. I do just fine in the real world, got a successful marriage of over twenty years, successful career that provides more than I need, family loves me rather than avoids me like some people, tons of friends all over the country, I'd say I'm rather content with my real world life, so I'm not sure why me pointing out how your "joke" sucked relates to me being a loser outside of maybe some projection on your part.

Also ffs Lemmy doesn't even f'n work well enough to be terminally online on this platform, shit goes down constantly just like early Reddit used to.

How about learning how to be more self-aware and stop trying to blame me because your "jokes" are essentially "haha she has boob she dumb she not no sportsball" and basing your low quality "jokes" on stereotypes, and overall stop being whack AF.

[-] kofe@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

As a woman, I appreciate what you're going for here but I encourage you to regulate yourself before replying to people like this in the future. You are definitely coming across as more of the dickhead at this point in the conversation.

[-] DigitalTraveler42@lemmy.world -2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Almost any Internet argument is just two dickheads establishing who the bigger dickhead is, and this time that's probably me.

I'm fine with my regulation thanks very much for your feigned concern. I'm fine with how this conversation has gone, and I'm fine with the pointless Internet points keep going lower, because I don't give AF about what a stranger online has to say to me, both you and him, make your judgements all you want I'll probably delete this whole thread once the conversation is no longer ongoing with no fucks given.

I'm not going at this guy for women, I'm going at this guy because the joke was whack AF, and because they chose to try and engage me like I was wrong to point out the stereotypes and the lameness of the "joke", benefitting women and taking a guy who seems to be a bit misogynist and making him see that in himself is just an added benefit.

But hey thanks for the condescension and calling me a dickhead, don't worry I already knew I was, but thanks so very much for confirming it.👍

[-] rab@lemmy.ca -1 points 9 months ago

You delete all your comments that go into the negative according to your post history.

[-] DigitalTraveler42@lemmy.world 0 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

What's wrong dude still angry about not being funny so you gotta jump into other people's replies? Can't take the L and move on with your life? Or was I replying to your girlfriend or buddy or alt-account who you got to come to defend you? Which would be extra sad if true.

Like Fr who cares about people's post history if it's not full of racist and misogynistic (--this is you) bullshit? You're acting like this is some kind of gotcha. 🤣

You act like people haven't been nuking their post and comment history periodically for years, and just for the sake of privacy, which I do as well, got a problem with that too?

Or is the Internet police going to come get me for deleting a post that should be deleted because it's wrong in some way or because I accidentally upset someone somehow? Or because I don't want to deal with the negative BS, especially when I wasn't trying to invite it like I was with posting to your low quality joke slinging ass.

Grow up.

[-] kofe@lemmy.world 3 points 9 months ago

If you didn't care you wouldn't reply.

[-] rab@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago

I thought you are supposed to be at work, does your boss know this is how you spend company time?

[-] DigitalTraveler42@lemmy.world -3 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

My boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I shitpost on Lemmy on company time.

Why? What are you the company suck up? Have you never heard of breaks before?

[-] rab@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

Last thing, you're the asshole for making wild assumptions about me and calling me names with zero context. I'm not the person you describe at all.

You write essays to "dickheads" when you are trying to escape work? Get help

[-] DigitalTraveler42@lemmy.world -2 points 9 months ago

Again another attempt to turn this around on me, I'm not the one that made the shitty stereotype joke, you were, be accountable for your words and actions.

Also if you're not the person I'm "describing" at all then why was it so easy for me to see through you, and why are you getting so angry about it? I mean according to you I'm just some terminally online loser who needs to get help, why are you getting so upset if you don't already see the truth in my observations of you?

As for "with zero context" you literally gave me the context and continued to give me the context throughout this discussion, like seriously dude pls gain some self-awareness, and maybe you should be the one getting help, because ffs I've been getting help for decades and I can admit that without caring that it exposes me to more of your angry comebacks, so what's that tell you about me?

[-] drislands@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

My mind is blown at how completely off the rails that other guy is going about your comments. Holy shit.

Like yeah, I misunderstood your joke here the way they did. But I get what you were going for.

Lemmy has a pretty big share of people like that guy that wig out at the drop of a hat, it's super frustrating to see. Best thing to do is to block when they're being insufferable, and report when they're being abusive -- which that guy absolutely was. I'm going to be blocking them for sure as there's no way I want to see anything they have to say after that lunacy -- and probably report too depending on this community's rules.

[-] heckypecky@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 9 months ago

Wtf why would you block them? This is prime quality content. Remember, almost every good copypasta started its life as some unhinged rambling.

[-] rab@lemmy.ca 2 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

You're right, things like this bring me back to arguing on the gamespot off topic forums back in like 2009 and it's great. You could always count on that one guy with the Robert Smith avatar to show up and say the craziest shit that later ended up in other people's signatures.

[-] Ohi@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

She got more screen time than most of the commercials. My guess is the NFL wanted to hook the younger audience to show them how much she cares about the game so the next generation can also ignore the 99% of professional football players getting CTE.

[-] koberulz@lemmy.ml 0 points 9 months ago

I would be shocked if she was on screen for more than one total minute across the entire game.

[-] Facebones@reddthat.com 2 points 9 months ago

I've seen 1,842+ football fans crying about Taylor Swift and approximately 0 Taylor Swift fans crying about the super bowl.

Sorry salty football boiz, Taylor Swift matters to people more than one night a year. 🤷

[-] thrawn@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Did you read it? This is satire about how she, a mega star, will obviously not leave the spotlight.

I feel like you probably know what The Onion is, but the comment makes it seem like you took it seriously or only responded to the headline. Apologies if you did understand and I’m explaining something you already knew.

[-] Son_of_dad@lemmy.world 1 points 9 months ago

She can go back to being an unknown nobody now /s
