Filling the house with chicks and drugs is easy

I need step by step instructions on how to make this easy.

[–] renrenPDX@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Step one: have money Step two: see step one.

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

you only need enough money for a bunch of crack or heroin or meth, which is a lot but not as much as that other guys would be. and the girls would not look that good

[–] Bane_Killgrind@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Am I bougie or judgemental that I would only allow coke, shrooms, weed and alcohol in my theoretical rich guy harem

[–] Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 day ago

Nah your just not bougie enough to know that unadulterated Afghan heroin is about as safe as the coke and alcohol, and is a much more higher status product.

[–] Avicenna@programming.dev 5 points 1 day ago

All this shit exist mainly because of advertisement fetish. If advertisements beyond simple product info catalogues were banned world-wide I think we would have a much cleaner life. Same should apply to politics.

What in the PR image rehab hell is this meme

[–] yuri@pawb.social 17 points 3 days ago

fucking seriously

[–] Janx@piefed.social 10 points 2 days ago (3 children)

Who TF is Dan Bilzerian?? It's embarrassing enough that I recognize PewDiepie...

[–] creation7758@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 days ago

What's wrong with pewdiepie except that he used to be cringe as a teenager, which is like half of them?

Arms dealer or some other cunty rich guy industry

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago

a former navy seal that became rich because of his daddy, and he did coke and have supermodels on his boat most of his life.

[–] arctanthrope@lemmy.world 68 points 3 days ago (2 children)

and I don't envy either of them because I have something even more valuable: not being a Nazi

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 32 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I'm not a fan of either, but I don't think pewdiepie is even fascist adjacent. He made jokes in poor taste when he was younger and the internet rewarded edgy behaviour, I think it's time to let it go.

[–] Gaja0@lemmy.zip 4 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I feel mixed feelings. I don't think someone can silently be against war crimes and genocide. He seems less edgy. I like his new stuff. Still, he preaches about reading philosophy. He promotes reading books. You would think enlightenment would spark the desire to push change in the world. It's a deliberate silence from one of the most influential people of our time. I just think he's right wing at best.

[–] rapchee@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

kind of important what philosophy and books he's promoting, and the one i heard of was a japanese ultranationist

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Which one? Watsuji?

If so, his philosophy is surprisingly transcendent (as in, not ultranationalist). Somehow he kept his politics separate from his philosophy.

Reading Rinrigaku, it's hard to understand how the person who wrote it could be a jingoist in real life. Unlike Sein und Zeit, where it's readily apparent that the author was an unapologetic fascist.

The places where Watsuji diverges from and critiques Heidegger are really quite eloquent and crucial. Most critically, he rejects the "carpenter in a toolshed" analogy for his own concept of "betweenness," using roads as the primary metaphor instead of tools. It's far less reductive and more socialized, which isn't surprising for someone from a collectivist culture.

Not sure how that turns into him supporting militant imperial fascism, but then again he didn't really have a choice. But it's not like he worked in secret to oppose it like those in the Kyoto School did, and even they got accused of supporting it...

i was thinking of yukio mishima, who pie called "controversial" but recommended his book (tbf that was quite a few years ago) but it's great to know there's more

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago

I haven't read mishima's work personally but I know enough about him to say that ultranationalist is indeed an apt descriptor for him. He was a fascist. He wanted a fascist revival and attempted a coup to achieve it. He died by seppuku when it failed. There's even a movie about it. He kinda had a cult following too.

[–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 1 points 1 day ago (1 children)

one of the most influential people of our time

I've literally never heard of him. I mean I do live under a rock but if he was one of the most influential people of our time I would think even I've heard of him. Are you talking top 100 or top 1000?

And the thing about philosophy is that two people could have diametrically opposite opinions and both still be philosophers. There's good philosophy and there's bad philosophy, and even good philosophy can be wrong and bad philosophy can be right some times.

Philosophy isn't a religion, its entire raison d'etre is centered around disagreement.

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

He had the most subscribed and most viewed youtube channel in the world between 2013 and 2017. I think it’s fair to call the most popular person on one of the most popular online platforms one of the most influential people, and if you were online in any mainstream capacity during those four years I think it’s a fair assumption that you have heard of him, even if that’s not the case here.

Looking over this list of books (https://www.goodreads.com/list/show/121751.Pewdiepie_s_Literature_Club_) he has discussed, it seems most of the philosophy he has discussed is pretty standard stuff. Plato, Aristotle, Nietzsche. At a glance the only problematic thing I see is Jordan Peterson’s book, 12 Rules for Life. If you were worried that he was discussing problematic ideas, why not look it up instead of just casting doubt?

Frankly, disagreement is not the basis for philosophy. The basis for philosophy is a love (philo) of knowing (sophy). Being critical of your own thoughts and the thoughts of others can be a valuable tool toward improving or refining one’s knowledge, but things like practice, observation, and curiosity are arguably even more important for learning new knowledge.

[–] toxicbubble@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

younger, but also in his 20s still using derogatives. if he wasn't called out, would probably still be doing it

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)
[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Thanks for the blind fire of exactly what I was talking about.

He condemned the Christchurch shooter. He admitted fault to his edgy skits.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Yes, the actual history of his actions over a decade is devastating to your shit take, I can see why that would annoy you.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I don't know much of Pewdepie and your sources are quite laughable tbh:

In one of the controversial videos, Mr Kjellberg paid two Indians through a crowd-sourcing website to hold up a sign which read "Death to all Jews". In a response to the criticism, he said he was "trying to show how crazy the modern world is, specifically some of the services available online" and that people "would say anything for five dollars".

It's kinda poor taste rage bait disguised as social commentary but far from "nazi".

[–] Zozano@aussie.zone 2 points 2 days ago

Not really, considering being edgy explains his behaviour.

Also, can you pull up anything more recent? Because as far as I know, people change.

[–] velma@sh.itjust.works 20 points 3 days ago (1 children)

There it is! Neither of those men are enviable.

[–] nomy@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I think their bank accounts are probably the only thing most people really envy about them.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 2 days ago

exactly, ppdie was the og "mr beast", im guessing he misses that money to an extent.

[–] garth@sh.itjust.works 35 points 3 days ago (2 children)

filling the house with chicks and drugs is super easy.

Go on.

[–] funkless_eck@sh.itjust.works 15 points 3 days ago

call a pimp

give them money

[–] ProbablyUnwise@anarchist.nexus 11 points 3 days ago (6 children)

Didn't he meet his partner because she was a fan or something? I think that's the only story I've heard of a fan getting into a relationship with a YouTuber and it not ending up in the news as a cautionary tale.

[–] Flames5123@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 days ago

This was when he was super small though like a few thousand subscribers.

[–] thevoidzero@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Veritacium also said his wife commented on his post

[–] Admetus@sopuli.xyz 9 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I don't know anything about the youtuber-fan relationships but you could meet a non-obsessive fan and find that something clicks between you two.

[–] Windex007@lemmy.world 9 points 3 days ago

My ex's sister ended up marrying a guy who started as a random Twitter follow because she thought his tweets were funny.

They might be one of the most fundamentally compatible couples I've ever met. I know correlation doesn't imply causation... but it does waggle its eyebrows suggestively.

what I meant was that so many YouTubers end up being huge creeps. how many times has a YouTuber been accused of sexually assaulting someone, especially a minor? I don't think we have enough fingers between the two of us to count. just because something clicks doesn't mean the relationship isn't problematic.

but I'm happy for them, they obviously have something good going on right now.

[–] arctanthrope@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Drew Gooden's wife Amanda was a fan before they met

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)
[–] eestileib@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 days ago

I would be terrified to date a fan but he seems happy with how it's going.

[–] softwarist@programming.dev 2 points 3 days ago

Jacksfilms is another one.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today -2 points 2 days ago

PPDIE fled to japan and laid low until recently, because he made comments supporting nazis. he came back because of the turmoil of other content creators getting too much drama.

[–] jdr@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 days ago

Maybe it's easy if you're a dog
