@Vermillion-Rx most backed off when they saw the ring, but I made it obvious that I was making sure they saw it.

Some saw it as a challenge to overcome.

@Typo-MAGAshiv

I've likewise had women try harder when they thought I had a wife/girlfriend at various times in my life

@Vermillion-Rx "Seinfeld" had an episode in which George did that

That dumb bitch Billie Eilish is another example.

We live on "stolen land"? Then give yours back to the natives. You go first.

As for me, I'll live where my forefathers conquered like anyone else.

@SeasonedRP he should have told him to get fucked

@adam-l

Number 2 is no conflict, though

Oh yes the fuck it is.

You think wealth should be shared? You first, oh great one.

Don't be telling guys like me who bust our asses to make it that we need to share more of what we earned, while you sit on a vast fortune that you only got by being lucky.

There's nothing inherently contradicting about having a set of ideas about society while living yourself in the society you find yourself in.

If your ideas are against the law, sure.

However, if you have the freedom to practice what you preach, and you choose not to practice what you preach, you are the worst kind of hypocrite.

And that describes champaign socialists such as Lennon.

@First-light

good musician

Eehh. There are far better who never made it.

"bigger than god"

He said the Beatles were "more popular than Jesus", which was accurate. Most people took it the way you phrased it and got offended.

Hi sanctimonious preaching about things he had no understanding was a really shitty thing to do.

Yes, especially when he himself failed to follow his own shit.

Even today some of his songs are like pacifist hymns beloved of the artistic establishment, long after almost everyone has realised pacifism is the way to get fucked.

Pacifism is goddamn retarded.

@MentORPHEUS my wife has been roasting Kelly's Ozempic face a lot lately. I hadn't bothered to look because I don't care, but holy shit....

weight-loss-shaming

If she had done it naturally and gracefully, and had stopped while still at a healthy weight, most people around congratulate her.

Instead, she used Ozempic and overdid it to look like someone stretched rubber skin over a skeleton. And I thought anorexic people looked bad!

@mattyanon I mean, I've seen that work for some women.

1) they weren't ugly to begin with

2) they didn't lose so much weight that they looked 71 instead of 41

@Typo-MAGAshiv I didn't know about number 1.

Number 2 is no conflict, though. Engels himself was a capitalist. Robert Owen as well.

Esther Vilar, one of the brightest women to ever live imo, was a woman, but was quite aware about women's "stupidity", as she put it.

There's nothing inherently contradicting about having a set of ideas about society while living yourself in the society you find yourself in.

I don't know if Lennon was guilty of specific sins, such as paying his stuff lower wages than legal etc, that would be hypocritical with respect to his ideology.
