Sports and Celebrities. There is no more crass commerce than Sports. Rich people buy sport clubs, and then buy victories for them. You can't get more boring than that. Once there were real Celebrities. People who were something noticable. Today, they are mass-produced by the media, and most of them are not even worth remembering.

Can you give a few examples of real celebrities?

Costco usually brings these around Halloween, they go for like $25-$35 for a 40 pack.

Well, that makes sense. Something strange happened on my Amazon page, because who the hell buys a six pack for trick-or-treaters? I wonder if there's scarcity for some reason...

Anything involving celebrities.

The only time I care about what an actor says is when it's preceded by "Action!", and followed by, "Cut!".

People like Michael Jackson or Tina Turner come to mind. Or Roger Moore or Marilyn Monroe.

Rather a contrast to people considered "Celebrities" today, just because they took part in a synthetic cast-together band or a "reality TV" show.

Is that a "drama" though? Its just a sport. There isnt really any major "drama" going on, other than the current set of regulations, but people always complain about the regulations, so thats nothing new or uncommon lol

There’s drama surrounding it all over Reddit that I just don’t get.

Ignorance is bliss. I don't follow sports, nor Hollywood, nor most political news, no social media sites, and I block ads at work and home. People usually don't like awkward silence so they try to make small talk and I just don't participate lol.

I wish I could block ads at work, but the security software they use prevents browser extensions

I do have an opinion about people that go out of their way to make lives harder for other people though. Fuck them.

He started his career with his wife about looking down on people having affairs. Then he had an affair with his coworker recently. That's about it.

He's also a Zionist alongside his IDF wife and him trying to cancel Hasan Piker now who was his former podcast host due to stances on this Palestine/Israel stuff.

im not british, so these have no effect at all. i see these thumbnails all over yt for some reason, i was thinking" are UK people really into this garbage?and not the increasing problem of mass surveillance, and brexit which never was solved" might be something different if the queen does something, only because she has so much clout.

When I used to live in the UK, I always found outsiders were more interested in the royals than we were.

You gotta be more specific than that, even though I know you mean Asmongold.

He's backed by Musk.

He is influencing impressionable young men around the world who have zero positive rolemodels, so they get swept up and red-pilled.

That makes sense why someone said that his only way out was to blame it all on his wife and bail. lol

I dont know if its still going on but the Lindsey Clancy trial. I think she killed her kids and some people are using it to hate women and some are using it to hate men. I dont know why people are so invested. All I need to know was that its undisputed that she killed them and therefore she can be locked away. However the court chooses to do it jail or mental hospital doesnt matter to me.

I share your opinion about trans people. I have known and had pleasant, and unpleasant interactions with trans folks.. they are just people. They are not angels or demons.

However, folks tell me that means I hate them, both IRL and on here. If I'm not for the erasure of heternormativity I'm anti-trans, according to these types of folks. And I notice that most folks who think this way... are not trans themselves, they are self appointed 'activists' who think you are either with them, or against them. and if you don't identify yourself with your pronouns you are against them.

I don't have much of an opionion on anything people on here on IRL go about.

And they all basically assume you are on the 'other side' of the issue if you say this.

I find it all confusing, but I guess if you you fill your days with agonizing over whatever political, pop culture, or internet drama stuff, well yeah anyone who doesn't would be very offensive to you.

Even in my own hobbies I mostly avoid the nonsense dramatic opinions and in-fighting so many folks have. I don't get the impulse of hostility towards folks who are different than you at all. And I find it weird when I talk about my interests to other folks how they get bent out of shape about how I spend my time doing that stuff rather than watching reality TV or drinking and talking shit about people. My refusal to talk shit about people has gotten me socially shitcanned in a lot of situations in my life... I guess I'm ignorant about how much people bond over being nasty to other people.

When I walk into a public bathroom, I don't care what genitals anybody else in the room has. In fact, I don't care what genitals anybody has. I suppose I would care a little if I intended to have sex with them.

why do people care about any of those people.

any of the clips I've seen of them makes them all seem like gigantic self-emportant assholes. is that the appeal?

There will be another trial but they haven't set a date yet. It will likely be in the spring.

A lot of crazy people turned it into a True Crime drama, and were online spouting conspiracy theories, like that the husband did it. They deluded themselves into her nonsense and basically harassed jurors over the issue, and the jurors themselves were biased and straight up admitting it after the trial was over.

It was a complete shit show. And people love shit shows.

Agree. There are some things American agrees on - example: if you are white don’t use the N word.

But there are a lot of other words/norms that we don’t agree on. Or ones that used to be ok and now aren’t. Example: Sweet Sixteen was a sweet and funny movie when it came out. Now it’s full of rape jokes and racist stereotypes. Same movie - culture changed.

Some folks adapted to those changes more quickly than others. Some folks want norms to change even more. Some folks still didn’t get the memo / are annoyed that people are acting like anything is different.

I did like that movie (am female, 50s) but I also agree it’s a good thing that rape jokes have become less ok. That said - I have a lot of compassion for folks who adapt more slowly. There are jokes you could make 20 yrs ago and everyone would laugh- but the same joke today will get you fired.

I think it’s really important to be kind and patient with folks who are slow to get the memo. I want to be respectful but he/she is a very hard habit to break. I’ll give it the old college try, but if you think I am a bad person for having a hard time adapting to that then I think your expectations are wildly unrealistic.

Even positive changes take time. Be kind to each other. If someone is unkind for sure call them out! But don’t get your panties in a wad of their language or humor is a little outdated but their actions are kind.

As a non-American, the US midterms. If the Republicans win then nothing changes, if the Democrats win they'll probably do jack shit like they always do and Trump will just ignore them anyway so it doesn't really matter.

Apparently some big name YouTube guy cheated on his wife or something? I never heard of him before, but every site I go on keeps talking about it. Most I can say is "cheating is bad". Is that having an opinion on it? Like I don't really care what happens to them once everyone moves on in a few days.
