First reaction after reading Filthy's post is that he's high as a kite.

not high at all! I haven't been getting high too often past few months. it's not as fun as it used to be.

what's so delusional about this specific thought though?

a lot of swifties would go if she asked them, especially if she flew them out there. do you think israel would just blow up Taylor swift and tons of her fans?

I learned today that SiriusXM has a Taylor Swift channel. I made it through two songs before I changed it back.

If Taylor mobilizes her Swiftie Army for peace in the middle east will you be enlisting?

Swift sold an estimated 4.35 million tickets across 60 tour dates within concert trade publication Pollstar's chart year of Nov. 17, 2022 to Nov. 15, 2023. That's an average of 72,500 tickets per show, with each ticket costing an average of $238.95.

Israel wouldn't stand a chance

Mark, how many ~30ish year old women do you talk to in a given week? The average Swiftie is WAY over 12.

Send em, filthy!

Not sure I know a single "swiftie"?

I'd think the oldest ones should be around 29.

But the mean would still be like 23?

Going to Reddit politics the top 6! Threads are about trump and it's basically always this way. Is being obsessed with someone in a negative way better or worse?

Fauxmoi is also a really weird a probably toxic subreddit. Don't see how people can care about random celebrities so much.

And then I've been reading the fallout subs a bit recently because of the TV show and no clue wtf is happening there.

If you are 40, you'd have been a normal age to enjoy Swift's first album unironically.

me and the real estate actually agreed on a lot of stuff. he said the govt should be subsidizing housing like crazy. and obv I totally agree.

govt basically subsidizes the **** out of food and water... shelter should be in the same category.

and medical care

Look at you, you understand the billionaire mindset!

Seriously. Government money is the easiest money to grift. Just have the right set of "principles" and they'll throw money at you.

I need to read up on the most recent UBI studies, I'm curious just how enormous the savings would be if you killed off the bureaucraies that exist for the purpose of subsidizing **** and just gave people money. It'll never happen for a variety of reasons, not the least of which is you're never going to get government job cuts on a large scale in the USA#1, but it's an interesting exercise.

yes obv... well.. probably not "just", but yeah that's obv a huge factor. either way though, it's always nice to find some common ground, even if it is not quite straight forward common ground
