It’s this or the new advice column!

Totally agree. I know someone who modeled through her 20s...nothing major, but she had some nationwide commercials for a few major companies, and she banked her money, bought a gorgeous seaside place somewhere in Mexico, and is “retired”. I think she’s 31.

Sometimes I feel sorry for her, because she seems profoundly unhappy and her parents are absolute fucking doughnuts. But then I think Jesus Christ, you’re $50 million, you could easily just live off interest for the rest of your life without working another day.

Buy a farm through a numbered company in the middle of nowheresville USA, lay low for 6 months 12 tops, and the world will have moved on to the next hot thing.

Except that she was a little child when her family started bringing cameras into her house and she’s still very young. I abhor this family, but I do have a little bit of empathy for the younger ones (even if they are exploitative and super rich) because they never even had a chance to be anything other than shallow…

PSA: according to some studies, women are more responsive to visual sexual imagery than men. From an answer Dr. Nerdlove gave to a letter writer who was a straight woman questioning her preference for lesbian porn:

I am more emotionally invested/interested in your fart than in anything having to do with “poor little me” Kylie.

When they were kids, if one of my sons had needed glasses, my reaction would’ve been more along the lines of, “Well shit I wonder how many times I gonna have to replace these before he gets a full time job of his own.”

Let’s all take a moment of silence to consider poor Kylie and her utterly tragic life.

ITA. Girl could shut her entire enterprise down right now and buy that farm and never worry about money again.

So what if she does. A vindictive mother would still only get, what, maybe 50%.

From the Royal baby article:

I’ve thought of that too, but I also wonder if her mother would legit disown her if she did. Mama Kris is the kardashian/Jenner manager and gonna get her dues.

“It would be a good feeling to just live a normal life for a second.”

I have a facebook account for my dog so I can log-in onto sites and troll people on comment boards. It’s the only way I can keep Facebook out of my life. They are creepy.

Reading your story makes me wonder if Facebook is using facial recognition comparisons in addition to other data points.

Facebook: Only add people you know in real life.

It was a relief, honestly. I always grew up thinking I was just descended from generations of scum on that side. And some of them definitely were, but others are totally fine! My half uncle is a great man, actually. We’ll never be close but it’s really nice to know that.

i like your story a lot, it must be such a relief to find good people as relatives and also see pictures of your unknown ancestors.

If I had somebody’s contact list, their permission to track their location, a treasure trove of volunteered personal information, and billions of dollars, I could probably do the same.
