Dolly Parton is not just a random celebrity. She is a legitimate force for good.

Absolutely and fully agreed. She's a phenomenal person and one of the few figures I'm proud of as an American.

That still doesn't mean I'd consider her for president. The role, I'd say, asks for entirely different skill sets.

[–] FlyingSquid 37 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Maybe, but based on the two options we're going to have in 2024, I'd take Dolly over either of them.

Over the last few decades i have noticed a 100% correlation between a person's dislike of Dolly and them being a shithead.

Anyone who doesn't like her is simply wrong. That is not an opinion just a statement of fact IMO.

By that standard, Mr. Beast should run for president in 10 years.

Edit: Looked into it, that's already his plan. https://www.insider.com/mrbeast-president-mid-40s-2022-9

Argh

YouTuber Logan Paul announced that he plans to run for president in 11 years when he turns 35

Can’t wait for the 2036 matchup of Mr Beast vs. Logan Paul!

If it comes down to that, I think Beast would be a no brainer.

The literal no brain would be JAKE PAUL YEAh he can punch people, but yeah.

[–] Emerald 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Is there an ihadastroke community for lemmy?

I'm sorry but I can't tell what you are trying to say.

[–] zeppo 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Okay, let me diagram the sentence for you.

The

  • literal no-brain (adjective)
    -- would (verb modifier)

be (verb)


JAKE PAUL (noun, subject)
then, as a run-on sentence, and exclamation

  • Yeah (exclamation
  • he (pronoun, subject)
  • can (affirmative)
  • punch (verb)
  • people (noun)

Since you don't seem to understand American English as commonly spoken, I'll try to explain. If you've had a stroke recently, I understand.

"The literal no brain" means "the action that would be done by someone who has no brains", as in, very unintelligent or not thinking.

"would be"

"JAKE PAUL YEAh" : to cheer for Jake Paul.

"he can punch people" : in context, someone with no brains would cheer for Jake Paul due to his physical fighting prowess.

Hope that helps.

That does not help

Funny way to explain all that though so I must approve of the effort

I support his plan to enter all voters into a random giveaway.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago

Sounds a lot like sortition to me.

I also recently learned that Mr. Beast has shady connections that lead back to Russian oligarchs and South African real estate money from the apartheid days

I mean, I saw it in a video and did absolutely zero fact checking myself, so your response and the down votes for me aren't exactly unwarranted

[–] postmateDumbass 1 points 11 months ago

Too bad John Prine can't be her vice president.
