What I find hilariously, self-centered and tone deaf, funny is they announced the engagement on a day when across the NFL players were getting cut and losing their jobs across the league on cut down day.

40 of Kelsy's team mates lost their jobs on that day. But I suppose overshadowing that got the NFL more clicks and eyeballs.

If those people took school seriously and have other skills then great, they'll do fine. If they've spent their whole existence on a sports career lottery ticket so they could be rich and famous and live better than us commoners, that was their choice. I'll save my sympathy for people who get laid off from jobs other than sports and entertainment jobs that are only about clicks and eyeballs in the first place.

[–] BigBananaDealer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

thats just the business of the league not everybody is good enough to make a team and nobody likes cutting players

Why does Taylor Swift get such a massive pass from everybody in terms of scrutiny?

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Seems like I see more memes about Taylor swift using jets then other celebrities. They're all equally shit though.

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Yeah true, I guess I meant more before this recent uptick in memes/criticism. I don't expect celebrity musicians to be paragons of virtue or fight every political battle for justice but I do expect...... something? Like a little bit? Have a spine maybe?

I mean she can do whatever she wants, but that is the point right, she can do whatever she wants she is an unbelievably rich white lady who politicians and other powerful figures can't touch without risking MASSIVE blowback in public opinion that money and distraction won't be able to make go away.

[–] admin@lemmy.today 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

relatability factor because of songs?

[–] supersquirrel@sopuli.xyz 2 points 1 day ago

Ok that would be the part I understand, I am asking about the part I don't.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Who is on the cover here? I dont follow celebrities.

Edit: comments mention Taylor swift and some dude named kelly

[–] oppy1984 2 points 1 day ago

I only know this because he's from my area and still does charity work in the area, Travis Kelce. Honestly I couldn't care less about celebrity lives, but from what I've seen in local press he does seem to be a good guy.

[–] DiskCrasher@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Professional entertainment. The most grossly overpaid industry ever.

[–] Dorkyd68@lemmy.world 20 points 2 days ago (1 children)

People that idolize celebs are wild to me. Taylor wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire girl.

As I've gotten older my celebs are people that put tutorials on YouTube. Like oh shit, ishaan my favorite electrician just dropped a fire new video on neutrals and grounding on 3 phase. Or that one homesteader just dropped a short on how to grow bigger pumpkins, get the popcorn

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Absolutely. I wish Taylor Swift all the best, just like I do anyone, but I couldn't care less about her or her life. Alec Watson from Technology Connections? I'd take a bullet for that guy.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Alec taught us that Brown is just Orange with context.

[–] StupidBrotherInLaw@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That's EXACTLY the video I was thinking about when I wrote my comment.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 2 points 21 hours ago

Neat coincidence.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't wish all the best to any billionaire.

You're a fundamentally failed human being if you allow yourself to hoard this much wealth. At least tech billionaires pretend to have some sort of ideal goal they're working on but entertainer just be straight up pure narcissists.

[–] porous_grey_matter@lemmy.ml 10 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I believe that the best for billionaires is to be relieved of the morally corrupting influence of their wealth, and I do wish that for them.

Yep, my thoughts exactly. Imagine if Swift had a crisis of conscience and decided to do good with all her money instead of being a scummy resource hoarder.

[–] billwashere@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I fucking hate all the attention Taylor Swift gets. Yes she’s a talented performer. She is not the second coming.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

distraction of the masses from politics, a tale as old as time. people are too invested in sports/celebreties often are very ignorant of the policies/politics around them, and they dont realize this just a distraction from Class issues.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 day ago

Okay, can you explain why bread is $4 a loaf then?

[–] mikesizachrist@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is exactly how i kiss as well. I've never understood why ppl purse their lips (you look like a duck!) . For me, it's always been closed mouth, lips tight, and aiming for the mustache, so our lips dont actually meet and my mouth never looks weird for the cameras.

[–] FeatherConstrictor@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Hi sorry is this sarcasm as in you're making light of how Taylor is missing the guy in the photo or are you being genuine

"We should stop indulging in celebrity and start GIVING A FUCK!"

"Okay, what should we care about?"

"Wow, thanks. Now I'm full of helpless anxiety. Anything I can do about any of this?"

"DO SOMETHING! DO SOMETHING! DO SOMETHING!"

"Well, this has been enervating as fuck. If you don't mind, I'm going back to hide in my den and watch movies until the world ends."

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I really despise this type of argument. There's plenty you can care about that isn't billionaire pop stars or famines.

Theres so much optimistic shit these days and education has never been this accessible. Join a book club, environmental club, local community, hobby niche, care about different countries and regions. I barely find enough free time for all these activities.

There are literally a billion things you should care more about than a billionaires getting engaged. It's frankly disgusting.

Right?

Who gives a flying fuck?

I guess the answer is apparently a shit ton of losers with no lives of their own.

I feel insulted that I've even been forced to be made aware of this over the last 48 hours.
