Never meet your heroes.
I really feel that people really puts too much reverence into the words and actions of celebrities, and are disappointed when they are not the person who they appeared to be.
But, if you take a step back and actually think about it, you see these people on your screen every day, do you know who these people really are? Most of you have never met these people before in your life!
The person see on your screen in image and text form is not the actual person, but projections of the person behind the screen (a character, if you will). That's what social media is, and that's what all media are, you present your character to to the rest of the world and tries to sell the life of that character you made up. Of course, when the projection of the character in front of screen doesn't match up with the person behind the character (Ellen, Cordon, Brand, now Kari Byron, etc.), of course you would feel cheated.
Maybe that's why I'm here. I don't want anything out of you other than to laugh at my shitty jokes, and I don't really have anything to sell you other than some dumb movies. It's rare to find that these days, and that's really all there is to it.
After all, you are who you choose to be, so, I try to be someone better, someone you know that you can be proud of, and if you are still reading this, I do expect you to do your best, so I can be proud of you too.
Met Bill Nye the science douche and yeah... anyone that wants to be as famous as that probably should have expected them to not be a good person.
Man he was totally cool when I met him. Probably when you're famous you have days when you can handle people coming up to you and days you can't.
I had him for my college graduation and I felt privileged to have someone who had such a large impact on my childhood there. Really great speaker and definitely gave off the cool vibe. I didn't get to meet him 1-1, but I think a lot of it is subjective, how the person is that day, and the setting. Obviously if someone has done terrible things, especially sexual or abusive, they don't get a pass.
Yep. I think the term for it a parasocial interaction.
None of these people are our friends. They're just people on our TV screens, or other devices. Many of them are actors and are simply acting in a way that makes them likeable. Some of them are good people, others aren't. There's no way of knowing based on what we see on our screens.
If something on a screen is entertaining, that's good. You've been entertained, you got the product you wanted. But that in no way indicates anything about the people that created the product, good or bad.
Also if you find out that someone that makes that entertainment product is a shitty person and that negatively affects the entertainment value of the product, just find entertainment elsewhere. That is a normal and healthy way to handle it. People may characterize this to be "cancel culture" but those people are either weirdos or people in show business who have an incentive to continue this idea that the audience is somehow obligated to watch the things they put out.
Yikes. I really used to like her in Mythbusters.
Is it ok if i report this video for disinformation on youtube?
I mean you may as well
Can't wait for her child to grow up and realize their mother shilled for Big Oil and they will suffer more than previous generations thanks to her.
A girl has to eat, but fuck...
Her net worth is north of $1.5 million. She doesn't need the work to eat.
That seems really low for even a minor celebrity. But I imagine there's some royalty from the show that will keep coming over the next few years.
I work in tech and between my wife & I, our networth is over $3MM. We're in our 40s. A big chunk of that is in our house, which we paid much less for and it has appreciated over the last 5 years. This increase in networth due to the house we live in does nothing to improve our day-to-day life, it just makes property taxes higher. I absolutely still need to work to be able to put food on the table. I mean, I can probably afford to not work for a year or so, but if I live until 80+, I still have 40 years of expenses that I need to save up for. so I will need to keep working. There are also some nice things that I want to buy, like a solar panel system, which should help us lower our expenses over the longer term.
