Lately it seems like many Taylor Swift fans would slit someone's throat for the opportunity to look at a pan that she might have touched one time

I have a lot of trouble understanding celebrity worship for anyone.

Don't get me wrong I have favorite celebrities for movies/music. I give two shits what they do outside those mediums or what they have to say. At the end of the day we are all hopeless idiots regardless of status and I wouldn't trust any of them as much as any other stranger. Because I don't fucking KNOW them and they don't know me.

Anyhow I'm not pointing fingers at Taylor Swift or her fan club. This has perplexed me way before the current generation. People have been following strangers like silly sheep since 0 BC. I get there are some deep seed instincts in being a part of a group that get warped here... but good gravy some people need to step back and have an introspective moment to break their fixations.

For me, it’s Elon Musk. I’m a huge fan of the future that several of his companies are building and love that he made a huge impact in building them out as companies with somewhat unique approaches.

But y’all gotta stop listening to every unfiltered word he posts in the service formerly known as Twitter …. If so many people didn’t worship him, there wouldn’t be so many feeling compelled to hate him. Give it a rest … and when it is time to replace your vehicle, consider an EV; when you’re rural but need more internet, consider Starlink; when it is time to re-roof, consider solar; when it is time to launch your own satellite, hmmm

OK but EVs don't work for me, the most specialist boy in the world. I need a class-2 5-seat, 8ft-bed pickup as my daily driver because I pickup mulch every two years and my dream vacation involves driving 12 hours per day.

Be careful the HOA doesn’t fine you for not re-mulching every year 😉
