Humor/Comedy Celebrity Cringe Thread

Move over brave celebrities coming out as bisexual! Now that every celebrity is basically bisexual they need some other deeply personal announcement to harvest the attention they crave


Yes Demi Lovato, after eighteen months of reflection, has decided she has fluidic gender expression and is actually non-binary. Please use they/them pronouns when referring to this particular female... I mean woman.
Interesting. And here I was, thinking she's just a chubby, entitled junkie whacko. Much brave, very stunning.
 
John Cena illustrates once again illsutrating he's a heel, or rather a licker of them, everyone in life outside of the professional wrestling ring.



This shouldn't actually be a surprise for anyone whose familiar with John Cena and his career in the ring and out of it. He has been learning Mandarin since 2016 and actually lived in China for half a year as he became a face so to speak of the WWE as it tried to expand its operations into China over the years as well as to secure his own future Hollywood career in the Chinese markets.

That's spoken like someone utterly clueless. Like the plants grow the same all year round, they don't take up any space, don't need any care, and are not subject to losses. Like you can just find a buyer for your 3.9 million tomatoes. And that's just the surface of the problems.
 
It's baffling to me but there really is this persistent and weird belief among certain people that crops grow themselves. Farmers (and by extension most ruralites) are lazy bums who just squat on land they stole from natives and charge hardworking city investors (who are doing the real, important, and most of all hard work) a fortune for a tomato that just grew itself on their stolen land.

...As a guy that works adjacent to the agricultural sector, this about made me pop a blood vessel.

Entitled Idiots once more prove that people have no knowledge of the intricacies of agriculture, and would be better off not commenting at all.

Just bare minimum commentary here:

One, he assumes that you have the land to maintain that many tomato plants.

Two assumes that you lose nothing to drought, potential early frost, or any other freak weather events.

Three, even assuming the weather is perfect, and even if it was you can’t grow tomatoes year round unless you have a very expensive greenhouse complex set up, there are also various disease and insect pressures to worry about even if you douse the plants with pesticides.

It also assumes that nothing is lost during the harvest or transportation to market.

This isn’t even getting into things on the regulatory end. Taxes, fees, certification if necessary, likely more federal taxes, Etc...
 
You know what the very first part is actually good advice. Buy ten tomato plants, take care of them, and you don't have to pay for tomatoes. Money spent, money saved. Or maybe just plant more tomato plants on your own, that you can feasibly take care of and then you have a food supply. Maybe trade them with neighbours if they grow food and boom you now are in part self-sufficient. Hell, maybe get some peas and beans in a planter, and some herbs and you'll be able to stretch your budget more.

And it is pretty stupid. I have relatives as farmers, and been farmer adjacent enough to know how hard that kind of work actually is and how low the margins can be. Luckily my relatives grew cash crops so they could afford nice things and not having to work a second job.

A lot of people who grew up in urban areas have zero idea of just how hard farming is, or just know much knowlege and know how is required to make a modern farm work. A lot of them look down on people who do farm work and think people who live in rural areas are stupid. The same people think any one who does manual labor are stupid.

Quite a few of these people are also socialists which explains why countries tend to starve to death when socialists take power.

They're also the kind of people who can kill a fake potted plant or would water an astroturf lawn. If they've got a nice looking flowerbed in their yard they're paying people they look down on to maintain it.
