Hmm, stilted and awkward date with someone I barely know, given that I’m a lesbian who hides under a hat and she’s all out in the open,
or immediately pay off my house and my wife’s student loans?
how big is this hat?
It’s a fairly oversized beanie that covers like two-thirds of my head, and when I’m feeling exhausted, I can (and do) pull it over my eyes to conk out for a bit.
I love this hat, and I have absolutely no idea who Sydney Sweeney is.
some person that makes people on social media lose their minds because they project their weird shit onto her for doing ads that feature her tits and ass.
i have no idea like why she is famous beyond this. is she a singer? she seems to be compared to singers a lot.
I could go learn about Sydney Sweeney, while I’m available and in the queue for calls at my job, or I could just keep reading There is No Antimemetics Division, until I get interrupted by some doctor needing their outlook fixed.
Like, the question isn’t even bout five hundred grand anymore, it’s about literally anything to do with this lady, versus my personal “hat/book against work” inertia.
I have so many feelings about how that book ended, but no actual words. Hope you enjoy it!
What book?
The Antimimetics thing. It got published as a book.
Have you read the updated version yet? Wondering if it’s different enough to be worth it.
There’s an updated version of the book? I’m not sure which version I read… In that I didn’t actually read it. I listened to the audiobook.
A quick Google would take less time than typing that comment, why’re you pretending you’re too busy reading to know XD
Some people like making conversation and being personable on - gasp- social media. And then there’s you.
Also I just got a call from a Dr. Sweeney about needing something fixed, but he’s a guy, so now the entire proposition gets just a touch weirder, another line of terms and conditions apply. View mode, compact, reading pane on the right, never pick single unless it’s Sydney Sweeney asking.
I have no idea why she is famous
IMDB says she was in some American Eagle ads.
She’s an actress , she was in The Handmaid’s Tale, Euphoria, and White Lotus recently-ish. She’s also done some movies but I don’t know about that. She’s became famous very fast and was in those three hugely popular TV series.
TBH, you all come across as incredibly pretentious and ingenuine by pretending not to even know who she is. You’ve certainly heard her name on social media. She’s frequently the subject of posts on even Lemmy, so if you’re on any other social media you DEFINITELY have heard of her, but even here on this island you’ve encountered subject matter about her.
She’s also done some advertisements for pants and soap that come across as MAGA dog whistles, and she has done nothing to contradict being a racist, so that’s why people are mad at her.
I’m not really in-tune with American culture on the whole, and forming identities around people is hard for me as a double stroke victim. I’m also not on social media, and don’t really pay attention too hard.
I also still haven’t looked up who she is, cause I just don’t care that much.
I’m not pretending. But keep making your assumptions? Jesus.
Not everyone follows pop culture, and that doesn’t make them automatically an asshole. This is the first time I’ve ever seen her referenced on lemmy and I’ve been here 3 years.
You clearly follow pop culture. Do you follow professional mountain bike racing? Do you know who Tom Pidcock is? Wow, you don’t! You’re so pretentious and ingenue! How dare you pretend to not know who a famous mountain bike racer is! You’ve certain heard his name!
You mean some idiot people think she’s done that. All I see is a hot girl using her body to sell sports gambling to men. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, it’s not a phallic symbol of right wing oppression or whatever you seem to think it must be.
You’re on the fediverse. If ever there was a group of people who don’t consume a lot of mainstream pop culture and don’t follow celebrities this is the place they hang out.
I legitimately didn’t know who she is apart from being vaguely aware of the jean ad. She’s not involved in anything I’m interested in, and clearly I’m not alone.
… she’s…she’s the really hot blonde with the smoking body in those pictures.
She’s too young for me, and I’m pretty sure she’s straight, and I have a wife and a girlfriend already. I think i should just take the cash.
I don’t understand the obsession with this chick. she’s just another hot bod, what makes her so culturally important vs any other hot bod?
Well shes the white supremacist poster girl, so theres that
so if white supremacists eat ice cream, ice cream is awful and bad? is that the logic here?
i mean, cool if that’s what you want to do, but you’re just a stupid asshole if you think everyone else enjoying ice cream supports white supremacy.
You do realize that you’ve fabricated your own asinine, erroneous detail to then argue a baseless point from it… right?
Press X. 🙄
It’s like he built a man out of straw or something.
I mean… I get the point. Hot blondes with big tits do have a relatively universal appeal.
Just because assholes agree doesnt mean anything.
No. I just see a bunch of lemmy idiots flipping out because they are so weird and judgemental about the perceived politics of other people. And they are totally blind to how stupid and self-defeating their attitudes are towards their own supposed political ideals.
judging people for their politics is not a bad thing.
people’s politics is the best thing to judge them on.
really, so as long as someone shares your politics, and they assault someone you love, they are a good person?
the way they treat other people has no bearing on how you judge them?
Holy fucking straw man dude. Get a fucking grip on reality 😂
I did not use the word “only”, as you seem to have imagined. This is not the gotcha you thought it was. You’re attacking a straw man argument you made up, not what I said.
What logic took you to comparing “white supremacist poster girl” to “so if white supremacists eat ice cream, ice cream is bad”?
That’s quite the whatever-that-was, lad.
I don’t think she’s linked to White Supremacists because she eats ice cream.
She’s linked to them because she does MAGA or dabbles with MAGA adjacent nonsense.
Such as?
There is no evidence she does that, it’s just speculation by angry idiots who think because she won’t condemn it she must support it.
Although the “Anyone But You” star says she’s not political, she is a registered Republican — and many of her actions have been interpreted as conservative-coded. She attended a MAGA-themed party and Jeff Bezos’ controversial Venice wedding. She starred in a jeans ad that many felt reeked of eugenic messaging, and her appearance is looking more and more, uh, Mar-a-Largo.
Not condemning Nazis and White Supremacists, is being one. This isn’t like, a football team or something. It’s not like "oh, you don’t think the Packers sucks, you must be a super fan.
It’s fascist white supremacist Nazi garbage. The only option is in or out. There is no “maybe they have a point on X” partial here.
Right, so anyone who doesn’t agree with you, must be a nazi.
I don’t agree with that. So I must be a Nazi too, right?
Literally everyone, who isn’t you, is a Nazi, too, I’d wager, because really, how do you know people who condemn nazis, aren’t lying about? How can you verify the truth of their Nazi status?
Y’all always so hyperbolic. It isn’t ‘everyone who disagrees is a nazi’, it is about NOT agreeing with Nazis. Just because you didn’t mean to hit someone with your car doesn’t mean you didn’t hit them with your car. You are your words and actions.
If you support Nazis then you’re a Nazi. If Nazi’s are supporting you, then you should reflect on why that is. You either own it, or you do not. Like look around the room, ‘MAGA’ is literally just running back the Nazi’s greatest hits. The discrimination, Key members sporting Nazi imagery/rhetoric/signals, and we’re literally putting people in concentration camps for being different and disagreeing with Nazis while implementing mass surveillance without so much as a vote.
If it honks like a goose, and steps like a goose, then it may be a Nazi goose. Or at least a goose who doesn’t mind Nazis.
If I ever became a public figure and found out fascist/Nazis/whoever were “fans” of mine I would immediately and publicly denounce them. Because if I didn’t people would (rightly) assume I at minimum will tolerate their views when it’s convenient for me.
It’s a low fucking bar.
Refusing to condemn Nazis does, in fact, make you a Nazi.
And if I have better shit to do than go around worrying and freaking out over who is or isn’t allegedly a Nazi? I suppose that also makes me a Nazi.
So that means like, most of the population is Nazis. Must suck for you I guess, since 7/10 people you meet are Nazis in your eyes.
Le what now?
I think it’s more like, if ice cream suddenly decided it would poison all non white people because it somehow became sentient and only accepted consumption by the “superior race”.
where did she say that?
or are you just making shit up?
Her face is above average and she’s a Nazi, perfect for all the insecure incels out there
Face is average, its the boobs
Ah, apologies lol
‘she’s not even hot bro.’
I don’t think it can be overstated how much more life changing $500k is compared to 1 date with her.
Not a committed relationship mind you, 1 date.
500k is enough to retire on if you’re frugal enough. Enough to retire in 10 years if you want to live lavishly. 500k would be the definition of a life changing amount of money
I would not go on a date with her for free, that’s the lowest I’ll go.
MAGA cunts fuck off
I was just putting dead Kennedys on
With 500k I could get multiple hookers that are just as good looking
…or five hundred thousand one-dollar hookerbots?
Who even is she? I’ll take the$500,000 and have a glorius date with my wife.
a nazi. not even joking.
Eh…IDK. It was a very badly taken line comparing jeans/genes to her blonde blue-eyed self from an ad that was poorly thought out by the ad company. The MAGA tools have been drooling over her tits and trying to claim her for the right wing.
That said, she’s ducked out of claiming any political stance, and that to me is shitty all by itself. If you can’t simply make statements in favor of basic things like human rights there’s something wrong with you. The most I could find was a generic “against hate and divisiveness” statement that really is meaningless without context.
The Hitler Particles in the US are off the charts. “Hey, I’m not a Nazi, I’m just friends with a bunch of them” has been a line running cold since the 1950s.
That said, she’s ducked out of claiming any political stance
Classic “Secret Hitler” Strategy. She could only do better if she made some token nods to liberalism, while taking tons of money from right wing chu- Oh. Wait, I’m being handed a note.

It seems like the question is how much would you pay for a date with her and for me it’s about tree-fiddy
Anyway this is about the point I realize she’s a 30 foot crustacean from the Paleozoic era
Having an awkward time with a woman I don’t even consider being that attractive and I know nothing about, or getting enough money to pay off my mortgage, get two new cameras, several lenses, renovate my kitchen and bathroom, and have money left over.
Yeah, I am taking the money, every time, no question.
Isn’t she a MAGAt? Or do they just wanna lick her toes because of her appearance? 🤢
Money. Jesus Christ what kind of pathetic loser would say yes to date some broad who don’t even like you? Hardly a date that’d be.
Its boobs
The latter category. I think she is more along the Vanilla Ice line of “I like money.” So she’s kinda like low hanging fruit for chuds.
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.
Nothing I’ve seen indicates she’s MAGA. But she’s an attractive woman who will be attractive in ads without really giving a shit what the ads are for. Which means, when people get bothered by the white blonde woman talking about her good jeans (genes), or sexualizing “sports”, MAGA latches onto that and cancel culture and whatnot.
She had a maga themed birthday party
I’ve never seen anything about that so my statement stands /s.
Looking at it quickly, it seems to me her mother had a 60th birthday party and some guests wore hats that said “make 60 great again”. Unless there is another event that doesn’t seem like a maga themed party to me
Source?
she did a Goebbles ad for American Eagle
I don’t really pay attention to Hollywood gossips but she publicly supported her brother enlisting and being deployed to Iran conflict on Instagram. It may not be overt but it’s very telling.
$500 let alone three more zeros.
Will you take those as two separate payments?
An escort who looks like her would be 2 grand tops
a date is a date. $500k is a whole lotta hookers and blow.
My wife would be pissed if I didnt take the money.
“$500,000 or something you have no desire to do?”
And he’s taken.
I would get paid $500,000 not to go on a date with her.
