This isn't jealousy, it's "the system is broken, here's an example of what I mean"

[–] [email protected] 111 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago) (1 children)

Yeah life is a joke and 99% of us are the punchline.

🔥🔥🔥

that's not jealousy, it's an observation

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 days ago

its calling bullshit on this idiocy called the world

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago

it can be both. who wouldn't want, at least for a while, inurement from financial consequences. And those that have it also still want to retain it. Mimetic desire or not, it is still desired by those who have or have not.

The only reason to frame not wanting to suffer as bad is if you want to inflict that suffering

Ugh, I saw that video once, cringed and moved on. I don't understand why this was passed around so much. But good for her for playing the game. I woulda buried my head in the sand if I went viral for bragging about my awesome schmowshem sloppy toppies

[–] [email protected] 49 points 5 days ago (2 children)

People say her podcast is actually good. I don't know, I haven't listened to it, but if so, then she is playing the game with decidedly more skill than just one 5-second video clip.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 5 days ago (2 children)

Honestly, I back the hustle. Even catch me outside chick. If that gets you ahead, fair does. Men have been espousing far more damaging rhetoric and making a buck. Go for it. Disclaimer: I've not listened to her podcast so she could be a Nazi for all I know. But young people, cost of living - if it works and it's not hurting you or the community, then go for it.

Handed an audience. Monetized it. Not posting nudes.

She cracked the code.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago

She is actually pretty sweet and smart and I have a lot of respect for her making the most of what's happened.

People say her podcast is actually good

I thought that was a meme...

...Is the Talk Tuah podcast actually talking about the historic warfare patterns of the Spanish Armada?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 5 days ago

I'm pretty sure that aspect of it is the meme. That on Talk Tuah she discusses topics she is wildly under qualified for.

"On this episode of Talk Tuah, Hawk Tuah discusses particle physics, Byzantine economics..." etc.

She didn't become a millionaire afaik.

She has a podcast that's slightly popular and was already well off.

Anon might stop feeling so jealous if they perhaps stopped making up random facts, or believing lies on the internet?

[–] [email protected] 63 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Not a millionaire overnight, but she did get a huge bump in wealth. She was getting tens of thousands for some appearances fees.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 5 days ago (1 children)
[–] [email protected] 20 points 5 days ago

Definitely. Imagine just being out on the town with your friends, answer a silly question, and BAM now you're know world wide for oral sex. The amount of creepy dudes she has to deal with must be off the charts.

Anon develops class consciousness?

What on 4Chan? Ridiculous!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

4chan is the wrong forum for that

Anon discovers that life often isn't all that fair...

Being smart and hardworking can bolster your odds, but your lot in life really boils down to how lucky you are, and how well equipped you are to capitalise on that luck.

Unfortunately the right combination of extreme luckiness and ability to capitalise on it doesn't come up all that often, so most people simply won't ever get that lucky break.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 5 days ago* (last edited 5 days ago) (3 children)

life isn't fair, but this isn't life. it's the system put in place by people. chalking it up to life not being fair is complicity.

life isn't fair that someone may be born with a lifelong disease, or they may get one later. can't do anything about that. economic fairness is something we can change.

BTW I never understood why she became popular, it wasn't that interesting or funny... but I have nothing against her capitalizing on an opportunity. she was suddenly put in the spotlight but she hasn't grifted her way there. doesn't hurt anyone. good for her. my comment isn't about her but meritocracy in general.

of course extreme luck can be replaced by inherited wealth and daddies' connections and suddenly we are looking at a super star who would under average room temperature conditions would only make it to local news

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Being born into riches is extreme luck.

Or did most of us choose to live on hard difficulty?

(well most of us are probably on medium difficulty, do to the fact that we can post here)

I don't know who she is. What am I doing right?

[–] [email protected] 45 points 6 days ago (4 children)

She talked about a blow job in a funny way and it became a meme, then she jumped to capitalize on the popularity

[–] [email protected] 29 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Jump tuah, capitalize on that thang!

Pretty based take for a reactionary shithole

[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago (1 children)

People on /pol/ quite often post views which are actually leftist, but they hate brown people so much that they can't bring themselves to abandon the far-right.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

There's nothing to abandon the alt right for. If the democrats decided to run on a platform that was even remotely progressive, do literally anything for worker's rights, they'd win a lot of disenfranchised voters. Obama won, and that's not because all of a sudden, just for a moment, America wasn't racist. No, it was because he promised to solve one of the problems that's killing Americans in every stratum: healthcare. Instead, we get fracker and border wall builder Harris.

Envious* and me fucking too.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

I mean I'm jealous too
