Just highlights you can be wildly successful and a fucking idiot.

Just a few off the top of my head in no particular order, Donald Trump, Kim Kardashian, Logan Paul, Charlie Sheen, Paris Hilton, Elon Musk, Kanye West, Joe Exotic, etc., etc., etc. 🙃

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 7 points 5 months ago

Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton both seem completely sane and humble compared to the absolute lunacy of those others, lately.

Stupid people aren't necessarily insane or arrogant? I suspect Paris Hilton just plays dumb/vapid though and isn't really a dumbass.

[-] RampantParanoia2365@lemmy.world 2 points 5 months ago

True, I was just thinking they said crazy not idiots. But I do have some respect for Paris Hilton after she made fun of herself on Supernatural.

[-] DudeImMacGyver@sh.itjust.works 1 points 5 months ago

Haven't seen it, but she does seem to be at least somewhat self aware and has a decent sense of humor so, I'd bet she's not really a dumbass.

I dunno, I thought people loved that weirdo. I didn't realized he was sentenced to 22 years in jail LMFAO. I kind of missed that whole train.

He was never successful at anything aside from being a trashy spectacle as far as I'm aware.
