…fuck, I’m old…
I’m so conflicted about Jim Carey. On one hand, he’s a based socialist, on the other, he’s an anti-vaxxer conspiracy theorist idiot.
people are complex and can be right about some things and wrong in others, nuance exists.
I had this with the youtuber and investigative journalist Johnny Harris. He has some good videos where he does deep dive investigative journalism but then in other videos he hears something and just accepts it as fact. For instance, in his video on who is Elon Musk he accepts what Musk said about his history as fact and didn’t check any of it. Or he uses multiple sources all leading to the same source: Musk. So the entire video is a big Musk circlejerk promo video. But with other videos he doesn’t accept something that easily and goes really deep to find the truth. So I googled the guy, apparently he’s a devout Mormon. How can I take this guy seriously with anything if I can’t trust him to check his sources properly every time, when some things are just what he believes and accepts without doubting any of it. I mean, the guy believes in fairy tales, and really weard one too. So all of his material becomes junk as it’s really hard to disect the good journalism from the bad yourself, without doing all the research yourself completely. He’s a selective journalist, not an investigative one. But it took a while to spot the twisted info he produces. I followed him for a while and though he delivered proper investigations until he made videos on something I specialized in and he made critical errors while stating it as fact. This is, in my opinion, one of the most dangerous fake news forms out there. It even fooled me, while I’m not easily fooled.
He’s definitely not a devout Mormon. He previously was, but then left the church.
He actually has a good series of videos on that. Recommend a watch.
I don’t trust anything he says.
[from memory]
I stopped following him when he made a propaganda sponsored video without saying who paid for it. that’s not a ‘being wrong in some thing and right in others’ that’s more like the guys can’t be trusted.
Yeah exactly.
Back in the day, people relied on main stream media that fact checked everything.
Then Ronald Reagan, Roger Ailes, and Rupert Murdoch came along.
Back in the day, people relied on main stream media that “fact checked” everything.
there was likely less fake news, but still not perfect?
Let me put it this way. The movie ‘Network’ went from being a cutting edge satire to a quaint docudrama in real time.
But as an internet commentator I am morally obligated to either stan them or hate them!
As a data scientist, I recommend not to run dimensionality reduction analysis on people.
Furier transforms are OK though
Jim Carrey is antivaxx?
Unfortunately, yes. Check out the Wikipedia article. It’s a roller coaster ride.
Probably from his time being married to jenny McCarthy
Rich people are only socialist until someone tries to redistribute their wealth. It’s all an act.
Yeah, but if I had to choose between him and Adam Sandler I would go Jim any day of the week.
In what category?
Movies.
But this is a very niche joke based Animals in HBO dedication an entire episode+ to litigating Sandler vs Carrey
Basically trying to start a war in the comments
Penis size?
Yeah, true
I don’t like Jim at all, he’s a brain damaged hypocrite who thinks he’s the wisest motherfucker to ever live.
I think you may be reading him wrong. He keeps saying he isn’t him or anyone else. I think he thinks that he is just a guy, and Jim Carrey is his Batman. I kinda feel bad for the guy, as it seems that he has to keep feeding the machine so he can pay for whatever debts he’s trying to take care of.
“He keeps saying he isn’t him or anyone else.”
The guy doesn’t want to take responsibility for the terrible things he’s done like driving Cathriona White to suicide or him being a massive hypocrite when he took action movie money then claimed that anyone who sees the movie is endorsing irl violence.
He’s just another washed comedian from the 90’s who thinks his immense privilege is somehow profound.
A lot of people are upset that you’re poo-pooing on their childhood celebrity nostalgia. We’re gonna ask you to poo poo on somebody else’s nostalgia.
Maybe something less charged like a celebrity from the Apprentice or Oprah?
My toxic trait is hating on sanctimonious celebrities who got famous before the internet era
Really gets the gen x’s stirred up
Yeah, rewatching the documentary that Patrick CC made on him does highlight that a bit more than I remembered.
Though it does go on to say that none of that evidence held up in court upon examination. I’m not going to say that totally clears Carrey, it doesn’t. It does seem he crashed hard, possibly intentionally on others parts, and has willingly stepped out of the spotlight since. He seems to have learned something.
That sounds kinda brain damaged to me
Have you seen the Kaufman documentary? IMO Carey is certifiably insane, he spat on someone and refused to apologize because it wasn’t him, it was Andy. He literally thought he was possessed, or at least acted like that’s what he thought
That’s the girl who played Cindy Lou Who opposite Jim Carrey in The Grinch Stole Christmas.
His face, to me, says “I’m old”.
I saw this and thought that’s the leased singer for the pretty reckless.
10 mins later I learn she’s both
If it makes you feel better, I have no idea who that is because I was already an adult when it came out and had no desire to see it.
Glad you wrote who the lady is. I had no idea. This almost whooshed over my head.
She finally grew into her nose.
Edit: for the downvotes, there’s a line in The Grinch about how Cindy Lou is so young she hasn’t even grown into her nose yet. I’m not commenting on the actor’s looks.
Taylor Momsen, for anyone who wants to, uh, research her
I saw one of her shows and she was all tits out in booty shorts, with the goth look that’s my type. I felt weird until I remember I was also a kid when grinch came out so it’s ok
I didn’t even know she was an actor.
She has a rock band, I don’t know if she has acted recently
Yeah, I know. I saw her band in concert. I was saying that’s where I know her from.
Dating show from MTV, don’t remember the name
I thought she looked familiar. I’ve seen the pretty reckless.
I first read the backdrop as FALL [OF] ROME [2]025
This is some bojack horseman stuff right here.
FUCK YOU OP I’M NOT OLD YOU ARE
