"What does this commonly understood word mean?"
[Insert three line explanation]
"Oh noes, your extremely simple explanation annoys me. I'm going to be purposely thick to not get it! Haha, now who looks foolish!"
One of the comments on that article is batshit crazy:
Yeah, I'm with lilrock on this one. It turns into the creepiest, Running-Mannest of entertainments, and...bleah, all of a sudden Don Henley's "Dirty Laundry" is in my head, which isn't nice. Sorry. Former journalist here saying "can wait till tomorrow's paper with no loss of journalistic integrity".
Seriously, this person is talking about her "vibes" as a basics for law and protecting fundamental rights. Moreover, she asserts this "vibe" and presumably her "Right to Know" as the basis for why the media should be allowed to broadcast anything and everything. And I'm being ridiculous?
Not to mention that this type of media's number one priority is to make money by airing salacious, tragic stories for lookieloos to point and gawk at, NOT holding the police accountable or protecting public safety. I think it's perfectly healthy to be critical of their intentions and choices in airing shit like this.
That is my point exactly. Film them - get a record if the police overstep their boundaries, but don't live stream the standoff. It's probably not going to end well, and the shooters family doesn't need to see that. I'm coming from *their* perspective.
The media should really think about airing these standoffs and police chases live. I get that this asshole did a really shitty thing, shooting two kids and other people, but should the mother or an (hopefully) adult child be watching this scene unfold, I don't feel like they should have to watch their loved one…
I don't think Kourtney Kardashian's tweet here qualifies as #firstworldproblems... this is like, #RicherThanGodProblems. Other contenders... "You know it's not the 90s anymore when private jets only serve red caviar instead of black" and "You know a bitch is trashy when she choses a Saint Laurent bag over Hermes…
Disagree. People were plenty happy to tell Marissa Mayer that "she was talking out of her ass" when she cut Yahoo's telecommuting program and then built a damn nursery for her first newborn right in her office. She is also an overprivileged git.
Yea, that late night rumble with the homeless man in Skid Row was a bad sign...
"Do you literally think I mean hustling as in running quickly?"
Her position as a mother is subjective. Yes, she is rich, but she does WORK, however arb her work seems to you. She is not claiming to be domestic Jesus, she was just reflecting on this new adventure of having a kid. I agree with comeonpoppet, you're being a hater.
Working hard is grinding. Hustling is taking advantage of opportunities.
I cannot pretend to understand what exactly fills her 24 hours just like I can't pretend to understand what a hedge-fund manager does all day, or Zucks, or Aniston, but I can grasp the basic understanding that whatever it is that fills their hours is a service they provide in exchange for monetary compensation.
Call me crazy, but I don't think it helps anyone to start deciding who's work counts as real work and who's doesn't.
And you can be pissed as fuck that she is hustling to make money but she IS doing a job. She is working. She is completing a service and getting paid for it. You just don't approve of the service she is providing.
Neither does Marissa Mayer, but would she be "talking out of her ass" if she made the same quote. I suspect people would have a totally different attitude because her work is deemed somehow more acceptable. I'm no fan of Kim K, but the comments on this post are a little "mean girl" for my taste.
Agree - yeah, she's no Jezebel blogger-level of inspiring. *eyeroll*
