    It’s less about “new content” on Lemmy and more about “I have a social media addiction and need constant content to satisfy my insatiable media habit”. A lot of us are guilty of this, me included.

      Honestly, I’ve been enjoying not having an infinite amount of content to scroll through anymore. I get off of it a lot more and do other things. It’s been nice.

      Plus, memes last longer on here. I started falling behind on Reddit every week. Here a meme might last up to a month

      This is sad, but true ! But I have to say that lemmy decreased my binge scrolling I had with reddit, so it partially solved that addiction.

    I don’t understand how some people worship Pop idols and defend them against any criticism, doesn’t matter how many private jets you own if you end up taking the same amount of flights on one jet or three jets. one Private jet is already one too many in the context of combating climate change.

      I haven’t said anything on the subject before, because I don’t care very much, but I don’t know what the alternative is supposed to be. It’s not like someone who is that famous can walk into a public airplane without putting her own safety at risk and causing trouble for other passengers.

      It’s also well known that conservatives really hate her because she told her fans to vote and these memes are part of their effort to discredit her. Whether the point has any merit or not, it’s obvious who started the trend and who it’s helping.

        1. you don’t need to fly everywhere.
        2. you can totally fly first class. damn she can afford to have first class to herself.
        3. even if the private flight is the “logical” step, you can still critizise it. things can be complex.
        4. it’s a small and complex balance to keep supporting women in art and still shitting on billionaires, but we can do it.

      Cop thought a falling acorn was a gunshot so he opened fire on a black guy who was handcuffed in the back of his patrol car.

      A cop opened fire on his own car and thought he got shot after hearing an acorn fall on the car. There was a suspect restrained in the back seat of the car at the time.

          Also her lawyers sent a letter to the person who tracks her flights to stop so that put her even more in the spotlight.

            This is actually the real problem, which makes me feel like the memes are justified. They really didn’t start showing up til the C&D anyway (AFAIK).

            I’m a feminist and left-leaning guy, I’m certainly not gonna go after her for being a woman or for her “politics”* - or appreciate jokes that seek to do so, as people are trying to imply in this case. But trying to avoid the deserved scrutiny of hiding her flight plans is pretty shitty and it’s fair to razz her for it

            (* “go vote” is so barely politics it’s not worth truly acknowledging it as such)

          Apparently she recently took a 13 minute flight on her private jet. That’s a pretty bad look.

            She might not have even been on the plane. It’s pretty common for private jets to have short flights like that to move them to get serviced.

          It’s a thin thread they can use to attack a potential popular endorsement of Biden.

          Some of them are genuine iterations on the existing meme, but the meme primarily exists to dampen her influence on politics.

            That’s a really dumb interpretation. The people who would think lesser of her for her jet travel are distinctly NOT the people who would’ve avoided voting for Biden over Trump or any other R.

              It’s not about choosing a candidate, especially with Taylor. It’s about going out to vote or not.

              They were fucking terrified that Taylor and Kelce were gonna endorse Biden at the Super Bowl. It’s not a coincidence that the jet thing was picked up at the same time.

              And they’re afraid they were gonna get out the vote for the young, who are notoriously left-leaning non-voters.

                I agree, I think it would be pretty foolish to assume there was nobody behind the memes but the people. Here we all are denouncing Swift when she was actually spreading a good message about getting out to vote.

      I think OP is a cop and a Swifty. That’s known as a Copy. OP, are you a Copy? You know you have to tell me you’re a Copy if someone asks you if you’re a Copy.
