Nah fuck them, its fake internet points I dont give a shit.
Squeeze from the top down, not squeeze everyone with more than me. Thats the attitude that pushes the middle class to conservative voting and we can either advocate for sensible changes or scream into the void.
Some of his best characters were also perfectly suited to him in hindsight. Spies like us where he was the charming but sleazy face man and Dan Akroyd was a tech nerd, Caddyshack where he was the cocky upstart golf pro...
Man was acting but not by much.
You have to remember, pre-internet he was a tall, charismatic, handsome, very funny man and he was a movie star, of course he was arrogant. The industry knew he was a jerk, but he was a jerk who got everyone paid. He also had family money, which allowed him to call people's bluffs and take risks most people trying to build a career wouldn't dare take.
And the fans, the parasocial thing just didn't exist back then, they weren't our friends. They were an elite class who could do no wrong. If you wanted to talk to Chevy and he didn't talk to you, you apologised to him for taking up his time.
Yes,Ive built serious competition cars for 20 years. I realised I couldnt be fucked getting into an argument on Lemmy about balancing aero.
Diogenes would beg to differ.
Isnt the back of the car connected to the front?
For many reasons.
Firstly, never meet your heroes...
Nobody wants to hear it but every time they say "Kill the rich" I just laugh.
How many Billionaires and CEOs do you think have to die before qualified immunity is extended to private security and bodyguards? Simply because the politicians know that once the rich are fair game, they are right there next to them.
You want Cyberpunk corporate extraterritorial privilege? Because this is how we get it.
Yeah because we get in there and GET THE JOB DONE. Women are just "yak yak yak" right guys?
Guys...?
guys...?
AW NO BILLY!?! WHYYYY BILLY WHYYYYY. WHY DIDNT YOU SAY SOMETHING THAT I COULD HEAR OVER THE CONSTANT NEED FOR US TO TALK ABLUT LITERALLY ANYTHING OTHER THAN OUR FEELINGS!?!
My conspiracy theory is that Trump will "Talk tough" to Putin and "tell him" to back off and take only "minor" concessions to end the war. He gets to claim that he ended it, look how strong and diplomatic he can be. Putin will spin it differently back home, nobody will buy it but nobody will care because the sanctions will be lifted and money will start flowing.
The Ukraine wont get NATO admission, the US will block it but they will be a whole lot better off than if Trump just removed all US support and the bombing will stop so they wont like it, but the alternative is losing the whole country.
