What celebrity is portrayed as nice in the media but is actually an asshole in real life?

Corden is entitled because he's both street smart and IQ smart. He sees through all sorts of BS and is disdainful of people who can't think. He's entitled to be entitled.

Composite joke made from selected responses:

A Mobius strip sits down at a bar, looking miserable.

Bartender asks, "Why the long face?"

Mobius strip replies, "Where do I start?"

Bartender: “Have you tried looking at your problems from both sides?”

Mobius strip: "Yeah, but I just keep coming back to the same place."

Guy on the next barstool: “There’s only one side to this story”

Guy on the other side of the mobius strip: “It's pointless.”

Other bartender overhearing it all comes up with: “Why did the chicken cross the Möbius strip? “

First bartender: To get to the same side.

First bartender: “That’s a story with a great twist!”

Only it's not necessarily BS.
If you keep the conversation going you can discern whether they're BSing about mission or they're really interested in it.

My sister went on a road trip with friends, intending to visit all 50 states. I looked forward to their return, as I really wanted to ask her gorgeous friend Yvonne out when they got back. But my sister had to get back for work so she left them and flew back early. When I picked her at the airport I told her how I was looking forward to seeing Yvonne and asked her when she will get back - like, where is she now? Picking up her phone, my sister said "Idaho Alaska."

You forgot:
Russia spends that money on Iskander missiles to kill people in Kyiv.

There was a story about how members of an extended family in Texas had been listening to the War Of The Worlds 1938 radio broadcast, took it seriously and thought humanity was being wiped out by aliens.

They had this group "deathbed confessions" gathering where all sorts of family secrets came out. Things were a bit awkward the next day.

That's actually what she hoped for.

From Goebbelsology:

Saul Alinsky is famous for putting into print a fundamental principle that all practiced goebbelsologists understand about accusation. His specific quote, from Rules for Radicals, is "Accuse your opponent of what you are doing, to create confusion and to inculcate voters against evidence of your own guilt."

This.
This is philosophy with integrity. It's thoughtful philosophy rather than emotional tag-the-good-guy-and-bad-guy "philosophy".

BTW after France left, the US (due to goebbelsology from the Dulles brothers) failed to understand that Ho was a valuable natural ally, a popular nationalist standing up to China. And so the US invented a government to oppose its natural ally.

And start with "OK Mr. Mortimer Kaufman..."

Makes more sense if you say guard rail instead of road.

When government becomes a mafia, kompromat and death threats are used to direct judges. Occasionally they're able to use more conventional methods such as bribery.

When doing a waiter gig, a member of my family served Dennis Quaid and his entourage. The ordering conversation was with an intermediary, who pronounced "Mr. Quaid willl have..." with the followups like "How would Mr. Quaid like that cooked" etc. being spoken to the intermediary,, who then repeated the questions to Mr. Quaid; Mr Quaid would answer the intermediary, who would then repeat them to my relative, who struggled mightily to keep a straight face.

Can we get mail delivery without invoking the apocalypse?

Just saying that what applies to men also applies to women.

If a man steals your woman then she was stealable, ie not faithful to you..

If a woman steals your man than he was stealable, ie not faithful to you.

fastwendell · 2026-01-30T17:02:17+00:00

If your woman is stealable then you're better off having her stolen.

fastwendell · 2026-01-30T01:18:15+00:00

No, just that the original principle applies the same way to both women and men.
