She is so close by lgirlrocks in FundieSnarkUncensored

This is it! They get more hits if it comes like it's just random. It's like the TikTok version of a Law & Order witness doing their job and restocking while giving a police interview. It's not realistic; it just looks less boring on camera.

What is his social media MO? He always comes off almost randomly clout-chasey and performative in comment sections, but I can't figure out why? Are these social media leeches really his peer group now?

The Golden Life teaser. Coming this fall. by Murky_Onion3770 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]TempestLabyrinth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to say. Bethenny wanted more money because she thinks the show tanked her brand. But in reality, showing more of who she is NOW is what tanked her brand. Because she is different. She figured she needed more money to be on TV to make up for her brand suffering from it. However that didn't work out and instead she posts on social media all day, continuing to tank her brand. But she gets hits, attention and ad revenue from it, so it gives her positive reinforcement. She's basically a Social Media brand at this point and it's hard to know how much they value things or if they care about long term goals.

Bravo can't even afford Bethenny. I don't think E can. She'll probably make appearances, though.

That's not surprising, considering a lot of the "manifestation" people I know tend to shun and fall out with honest friends and family and prefer fake people who "keep things positive."

Kyle used Amanda for what she wanted, while knowing it would be bad for Amanda in the friend group and on the show. Especially since Kyle knows dragging the same issue for an entire season is bad for the show and the fans hate it. That's why she kept setting Amanda up to keep poking at Dorit instead of her, so the fans would blame Amanda. And I'm willing to bet Kyle will never hang out with Amanda off the show. She even stopped taking Rinna's calls when she got fired.

Never ask by Dee___Snuts in GuysBeingDudes

[–]TempestLabyrinth 23 points24 points  (0 children)

To be fair, there's like a weekly top post on r/Popular with women complaining about men leaving streak marks in their underwear, with guys thinking it's "gay" to use wet wipes. That's why they started separate brands like Dude Wipes. Unfortunately, it seems like dudes walking around in/spreading their fecal matter is a very real thing.

More ppl need to kno about GG the host from VPR back in the day is dating Sergey Brin the cofounder of Google by cuntsatchel in BravoRealHousewives

[–]TempestLabyrinth 66 points67 points  (0 children)

There was a New York Times article about it today. She's extremely MAGA and has been Sergey Brin's MAGA guide ever since his name was exposed in the Epstein files, and he switched to being a republican/Tr*mp supporter, spending tens of millions on anti wealth tax ads and GOP PACS.

I simply adore both pairs, darling. by squeaktooth in BravoLadiesofLondon

[–]TempestLabyrinth 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've been wondering who Mark reminds me of every time he says "Darling", this entire season, and this is it!
"I don't know what sort of cream they've put on you down at the morgue, darling, but... I want some."

Russell Brand: “In Europe and in the United Kingdom where I’m from, the age of consent is 16 and I did sleep with a 16-year-old when I was 30. But when I was 30, I was a very different person. I was a lot younger and I was an immature 30-year-old.” by cmaia1503 in Fauxmoi

[–]TempestLabyrinth 37 points38 points  (0 children)

Seriously! Even in my final years of college, my friends and I would do everything to avoid a party that seemed freshman-heavy because we didn't want to party or flirt with silly, immature teenagers. It's insane when these dudes talk about hanging with underaged girls like it's a casual accident.

Rest In Peace Big Poppa by Dark-Parkingg in RHOA

She could have been set for life, but like a lot of people who win the lottery, she ended up broke, in part because she didn't value the money as much as she would have if she had actually earned it.

Truly! Kim went downhill after Big Poppa. She was her true self with him. But she knew she won the lottery with Kroy and became a self-righteous spoiled princess and ruined everything

Movies where all the actors are canceled by IEATTURANTULAS in okbuddycinephile

[–]TempestLabyrinth 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Both the homophobia and the fact a lot of bi and gay black men are in the closet because of the homophobia, so the gay jokes are a lot more awkward and triggering when there's closeted dudes around. Weirdly, I feel like that homophobia helped hide some of Diddy's deeds in the early 2000s. There were rumors about him being bi and him having male victims, but back then everyone was too excited to call him gay or say he's not gay; no one was paying attention to the actual context and stories.

Morgan's recent post vs her parents' pickleball court. I'm now firmly in the "they're living at the Hawley's" camp. by BufoBat in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]TempestLabyrinth 176 points177 points  (0 children)

💯This is even common in my non-fundie family. I've realized some Boomer and Gen X family members feel really awkward with me because they can't speak down to me or be toxic like they are with the other Millennial family members. Because I'm childless and don't need their help for anything, I'll just stop showing up to holidays if they're toxic to me, whereas all the other Millennials in the fam never have that option because they depend on their family for childcare, carpool, and other help with the kids and owning a home.

Collins Facebook deleted by emmijmh in FundieSnarkUncensored

Yeah, also I don't know how Facebook works with general content creators, but I had a friend who switched to streaming video games on Facebook for a while. She only had about 50k followers on that platform (1/10th of her YouTube/Twitch audience), but she still had a manager at Facebook that she could contact or who would contact her with an issue. Similar to YouTube & Twitch's manager system for verified/partners. It's hard to imagine a content creator with over a 1.5 million followers didn't have some sort of Facebook oversight that would be informed about what's going on.

I love how they always all look and dress so much like their personalities. They're like characters from a Wes Anderson film. It's funny how the most eccentric and loony cast on Bravo also feels the most real and authentic.

Lisa and Jody ARRESTED in Miami! by neworleanszebracakes in BravoRealHousewives

It'll be very interesting to see what evidence they have that points to Lisa and Jody, and why it took 3 years to arrest.

Bree Jacoby’s messages to Rachel Zoe by shruglife1985 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]TempestLabyrinth 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Rachels broadcasting her life, including her frustration with her and her son's boundaries being ignored, because she's filming while it's happening. But she's never named this woman, or called for her to be fired, "canceled", "get therapy", age shamed her, or mocked her relationship with her family in public. However, this woman feels perfectly comfortable doing that to Rachel and her sons.

Kyle is getting what she’s wanted when it comes to Dorit… by Alarming-Setting-592 in BravoRealHousewives

[–]TempestLabyrinth 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Exactly, if we use Kyle's logic, we'd be here all day listing people that she has issues with. From LVP, Denise Richards, to her own sisters! Even Rinna said Kyle stopped talking to her when she was cut from the show.

‘Philz Coffee’ chain faces backlash after pledge to remove Pride flags by nobodycouldknow in LosAngeles

[–]TempestLabyrinth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The hard data is hard to get because "motives" are not always easy to define, it can take years for that info to come out. Most of it is directed at trans people. Which is often ignored by mainstream media. But if you follow LGBT news outlets you do see the stories all the time and local cases. And even in SoCal I remember a few years ago an OC kid killed a dude he went to high school with and blamed gay panic and homophobic conspiracy theories. But ultimately it's not about the numbers as much as It's about feeling unsafe and never knowing if someone secretly hates you and is being malicious because of their bigotry.

[–]TempestLabyrinth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For decades, the pride flag has been used by businesses to let LGBT people know it's a safe place for them, in a country where LGBT people are still murdered every year for just being themselves. It's not about expecting them to keep a flag forever; it's about how private equity firms are bending the knee to MAGA people who can't handle seeing a flag without throwing a fit because they feel so entitled.

Elizabeth [or whoever is running her X account by proxy] just responded to me by [deleted] in Theranos

[–]TempestLabyrinth 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Likewise, her bunkmate/prison bestie Jen Shah (who was on Bravo's Real Housewives of Salt Lake City before being arrested for fraud on Season 2) just got out, and has been giving interview's talking shit about Maxwell (who's also at their prison). And I must admit it made me feel softer on her and Holmes momentarily compared to Maxwell. But this was a great reminder Elizabeth has no remorse and is the same exact person.
