I do think he enjoys fame, but not at all costs, because he’s clearly not enjoying himself now. Maybe he didn’t realize he didn’t want fame? Maybe he wanted fame only so that he could improve the value of his brand and make more money, but that’s no longer working.
He did, at one point, have quite a lot of money, he could have financed and starred in some movies if he really just wanted to be famous.
That’s a fair point, but I do still get the vibe that he cares more about money than fame. It just seems like he really wanted to run for president, and was disappointed when he won. He seemed to hate the last seven years and now it seems he’s just trying to stay out of jail and not have to pay a whole bunch of money, so he thinks being president again is the only way to do that.
I don’t think trump’s goal is fame, so no. I do think Kim kardashian is smart for the same reason though. I’m not saying they’re role models, to be clear.
Do you not see how she’s getting press time for these stunts? I think that’s her goal, so she’s doing pretty well
I still don’t think she’s dumb. I think she’s trying to get and stay famous and she’s doing a pretty good job so far. She’s not a good attorney, but that doesn’t make her dumb.
I don’t think she’s a good lawyer, but I also don’t think she’s stupid. I would call her shrewd. She’s exactly where she wants to be, if her end goal is more than 15 minutes of fame (which it seems to be, given that radio show). If trump sues her, she can just extend her time in the spotlight. If not, she can always sue him for nonpayment herself
So either she’s smart enough to pass the bar and stupid enough not to understand how payment works or she’s not looking for financial compensation.
The bar isn’t that hard, but it’s hard to be that dumb and still pass it.
Yes, the Connecticut-born, Yale-educated southern good old boy was probably not smarter than his Vice President, but he wasn’t anywhere near as dumb as he seemed
Bruh, I just realized now that this guy is different from James Comey.
Family story time: my family is full of academically minded people (three of my grandparents worked as Latin teachers), with varying levels of snobbery and reasonableness. One of the first times my dad went to my maternal grandparents house for dinner, someone said “margarine,” pronouncing it with a hard g. My father asked why, and my grandfather explained that there’s no soft g followed by an a in English.
My father accepted this, and looking to change the subject, asked if my grandparents could offer any help analyzing “The Ballad of Reading Gaol.”
Honestly, it was helpful! I did block a user because of the comment.
They gave a nuanced reply. You wrote that.
Imagine withholding funding for food that would keep children healthy, while denying people medical care when they get sick.
This is sickening. How does this not bother them? (Rhetorical, it’s because they try not to think about it. Then they try even harder to find a way to blame others)
I think the issue is twofold: if you allow a groomer (a real one, not a drag queen) to be around a child for their entire life, there will be an effect on what the child wants as an adult; and people have a lot of opportunities to blackmail family members.
Those things make it difficult to determine if the two consenting adults are both truly consenting. It’s the same logic behind banning polygamy- it’s very easy for people to become trapped in it because their entire social universe supports it, so if you say no, you’re excommunicated. There’s therefore no real way to know if you consented.
It’s the same reason cops can’t have sex with people they are holding under arrest. Oh wait…
Vivek? I don’t think he’s even a real candidate, I think he just wanted to meet trump.
Edit: I just saw he dropped out and endorsed trump. Quelle surprise
It would be perfect for assisted living facilities or care home situations where accessibility is key
I’m in Germany and the word “evangelisch” means “Protestant,” not “evangelical,” which fucked me up for a while because I kept assuming my Christian friend would be insane at some point, but she’s just very reasonable. I finally realized that she’s just a very chill Lutheran and I was mistranslating
That would go against the Hippocratic oath for a lot of people
Maybe I do.
I think what’s relevant to habbas, is that she seems to be in a position to achieve fame, without all of the drawbacks of trump’s fame. Her drawbacks include potentially being sued by trump for malpractice (which her professional liability insurance will defend her against) and the attorney’s fees for this case, which probably seems like a good trade.
