I did see a Instagram reel about this yesterday. Did someone just connect the dots and share it around, or has this been kicking around the internet for a bit?
I think the last part is the real thing. It's either assuming you're fkn irresistible, or that she has no say in the matter.
Anyone who would pass up anything tangible for a chance to shoot their shot (and likely get shot down) is crazy.
inb4 someone comments about how they skipped a job interview to chase a woman they saw walking the street once and now they've been married for 82 years, so I'm wrong.
Yes, but it's being mentioned alongside things that widely and tangibly affected the (American) populace. Y2K did not have many actual effects for the average person, just a couple of knock-on effects created more from people's fear of Y2K.
$2 million for a gesture probably doesn't matter much to him.
Especially when his actions point to him being a Zionist, the question becomes how much money has Kraft spent furthering Zionist ideals in comparison? Does it make $2 million USD look like a joke?
I appreciate you pulling up sources, especially if these are things you went out of the way to collect fresh.
It'd require more research on my end but I do have questions.
I question how many people were actually actually getting new single-family homes built for those time periods. Are the rates of new home construction similar between the 70s and 2016-18 for this data? Are more people moving out to further places with cheaper land to buy new houses? Or are a smaller number of richer people buying bigger houses?
And, regarding food, the graph does say
Measured in kilocalories per person per day. This indicatesthe calories that are available for consumption, but doesnot necessarily measure the number of calories actually consumed, since it doesn't factor in consumer waste.
Which brings up the question of whether the increase in calories can be mapped to the increase in fast food, which are insanely calorie dense for the amount of nutrition they contain. Just the amount of processing in many foods cranks up caloric count.
Fast food is something I will agree is an example of normalized behavior, where the 90s cemented "fast food" as a cheap dining option when that has not been really true in years.
"Unpopular take: all black people should be slaves." Preceding a statement with "unpopular take" doesn't insulate the statement from inspection or critique. "Unpopular" is a measure of popularity, not validity and I was questioning the validity of their statement.
Yes, I added average because "average" is the only way to make sense of their vague talk. Who would the subject be if not younger generations when they talked about previous generations normalizing over-consumption. Who is exhibiting these normalized, ove-consumptive behaviors if not some average, representative sample of the younger generation? If they were making a statement about and to some narrow band of western, upper-middleclass white person, they should claim that.
Obviously we can all cherry pick anecdotes where these things don't apply and it's easy to assume that how things are where I live are the same all over everywhere even though that's not the case, so keep that in mind.
No one has made any citation of statistics or data, and I'm the one asking for clarification of dubiously-valid claims. So you and the previous commenter are the only ones providing (or, in the other commenter's case, hinting at) some cherry-picked anecdotes about the consumption habits of these still-undefined subjects who are habitually over-consuming their way to poverty.
And then uninformed members of Gens Z and Alpha make reels about how Boomers and Millennials need to retire so they can get access to higher-paying jobs.
Culture war nonsense perpetuated to distract from any class-conscious understanding of why things suck.
Genocide isn't geopolitics. It's a human rights disaster.
"Oh, can't expect poor, lil Ed boy to come out and say 'murder is bad'. He's just a frail little songbird, incapable of seeing and decrying wrong from right."
This isn't a discussion about taxation, infrastructure, or international trade. It is someone saying "we should free these suffering people from oppression and genocide," and another person says "make them stop talking."
If that whole scenario wasn't fabricated, how is it misogyny to give an anecdote about his marriage?
And where did he say what his wife cared about doesn't matter? He only said he doesn't care as a response to his wife asking if he also hated the bowls, and that he never gave the bowls a thought. Do all members in a relationship have to be gungho about everything?
Macklemore, in a collection of Instagram posts, tried to remain cordial by saying Ed Sheeran was put in a tough position because Sheeran tries to remain "nonpolitical."
You can't frame genocide as "politics," Ed boy.
It isn't a "political position" to systematically oppress and massacre innocent people; it is a moral failing and should be a criminalized action. Remaining "nonpolitical" in the face of what Israel is doing in Palestine is legitimizing degeneracy as "political policy you can disagree with" instead of a "human rights abuse that has to be opposed".
Even if he had demographic data that said a majority of his audience is Zionists (or ignorant sympathizers), being on "the clearly correct side now and on the right side of history for the future" versus "being complicit to genocide" isn't much of a "Catch-22".
"I'm gonna cure your addiction to living."

A cat can't even take on a common villager. And a single level 1 character should be killing at least a couple villager, unless they roll bad.
And that's why you're not a champion! Every winner shits their pants!

I only know Grant(?) from Dropout. Was Ron Perlman on a Dropout show?
This is entirely a non-sequitur to his failings in standing aside for Zionist pressure.
Why does his hair suck? He's rich, yea? Is the shitty hair part of the "average man" brand? It always looks like a rowdy uncle just ruffled his hair.

How can any of these, except debt and maybe grocery costs, be summed up as "use less resources"?
What resources is an average individual "over-consuming" to make their housing more expensive and their commute more onerous?

What are you even talking about?

One of those isn't a bad thing.

I do believe the Zionist Robert Kraft did gather other stadiums in the tour to present the ultimatum to Ed Sheeran.
That doesn't excuse Sheeran's capitulation to Zionist sanctions.
I know what you mean, but the inclusion of "allow it" as the middle phrase places it in a very "neutral" spot, literarily.
You could try "You either allow and directly support genocide, or oppose it.
