Re: Kanye deleting his social media: I’m going to assume that this is part of his working on his mental health issues.
I agree. I don’t like Kanye, but I’m worried about him. I think he has straight up mental illness (not b/c he deleted his accounts).
I really hope he gets some help.
We know he has bipolar and that he had a manic episode late last year. I hope, really really hope he has not cycled down to depression. While quitting social media is no biggie for most, this Kanye West we are talking about. Its extremely out of character and in keeping with the tendency to isolate and dwell on past mistakes during depression. I just nave a bad feeling about this.
I think it’s because he and Kim are launching their kid line, to drum up interest.
But who knows. I hope he is ok. I loved his twitter.
That’s not Kanye, that’s Wesley Snipes in “Demolition Man.”
“Yes, Kylie Jenner is morphing into Kim Kardashian.”
I just don’t understand how or why we got here as a culture where we accept a teenage girl turning herself into a blowup doll and people not only just view this as NORMAL but young people actually look up to her. I’m 30 years old and I have friends who are way too interested in what this confused, lost, sad child does with herself. I find it so disheartening. I don’t want to hear the response “she’s getting money” like that makes up for the fact that she hates herself and bases her self-worth on her sex appeal. This child has literally changed every aspect about her physical appearance and she spends the large majority of her time taking videos and pictures of herself to post on Instagram and Snapchat. What kind of existence is that? I just don’t understand people who say shit like “yeah, she had a lot of work done, but she looks great.” She is not even 20, and even if you’re 45, getting an entire new face and body is a major red flag that something is deeply wrong in her mental state/self esteem/self worth. This is such an ugly side of our culture that we can blame social media for. This person is actually living her life for followers and likes on social media… she’ll get fat injections in her ass and hips, lipo on her stomach, fillers in her face… just as long as people keep telling her she’s pretty. Kylie Jenner’s life is basically the Black Mirror episode with Bryce Dallas Howard in it.
Ok that’s my “old man yells at cloud” rant for the day.
And that was an excellent rant; you make so many valid points 👏👏💯 ✅
Cheering your post
Anyone who says “Hey, they’re makin’ money” as an excuse for their behavior or proof of their intelligence should be viewed with suspicion. I especially hate it when they describe people like Kim Kardashian or Miley Cyrus as “smart businesswomen” for taking pictures of themselves and selling their name to the highest bidder.
I don’t know if they allow links here, but check out “Worthington’s Law” on YouTube.
She does NOT look great, I agree with everything you say. Before, she looked like any fresh-faced kid. Now she looks like an older housewife in her 50’s trying to look like a young person. She is putting her body at needless risk for blood clots/other surgical complications. I’m all for everyone looking their best but everything she does demonstrates she has tremendous self-esteem issues and she’s a terrible judge of character. She’s not with Tyga anymore, that’s the only good thing I can say about her really.
And what a great rant it is!
Totally agree with every single point you made.
There is something seriously wrong with society that people look up to this girl. Being vapid with self esteem so low that you’ll fix anything you don’t like by going under the knife instead of learning to love yourself, is terrible. I feel so sorry for her.
She is morphing into Kim and what is sad is that before the surgeries the only thing that even made them resemble one another was their hair.
+1 to every single word you wrote.

It’s because being anti-social media is the new “it thing”. I have no social media and I am so happy I never got hooked on that stuff. It is really bad for your mental health.
This. People think I’m nuts but I can’t manage to keep a social media account open for longer than maybe a month or two, tops. It’s just too negative for me… there’s the people who want to share 24/7 of their lives on there, there’s the people who are fake as f*ck trying to portray themselves and their lives as so much better than they actually are…. it just really brings out the worst in most people. It’s not for me.
I went in and deleted people I didn’t like/bother with. Blocked the odd person who was a raging asshat. And his the posts of family members/friends who I can’t cut out, but who annoy me or stress me out.
SO much happier. I use facebook as a first line of communication for a lot of friends, so deleting the whole thing wasn’t the best idea for me at least.
I have a LinkedInpage for jobs, but I got rid of Facebook years ago. My friends were mostly people from high school I hadn’t talked to in decades.
I also refuse to get a smartphone. I don’t want one. I don’t need a constant barrage of internet. When I take the train or the bus, I bring a book. At least that way, I’m reading something of substance and not just more news.
I’m with you. I refuse to get a smartphone too. I don’t want constant access to the internet. It can drive you nuts. I mean, it’s fun to go on-line but I don’t want 24 hour access to it. Too much depressing stuff…not to mention the internet causes paranoia and anxiety in so many people.
I finally got a smartphone last month, because it’s cheaper than my landline, and there are something it’s just easier to have it fore. But so far I’ve not wandered around home or work texting away and not paying attention to my surroundings.
Does anyone really care?
Bingo! That is the problem. Haven’t we been hearing for weeks that the kardashian train is slowing/people are losing interest in that crew?
I think interest is definitely waning for the K-trash clan. Something that caught my eye the other day while waiting in line to buy groceries. On all the magazines displayed in my aisle – not a single one had a picture or story about the Kardashians.
I only noticed really because they are usually everywhere but they were completely absent. Made me super happy to not have to look at their plastic faces. Let’s hope this trend continues!
I read those tweets and in my head Santigold/I Can’t Get Enough of Myself cued up.
Good
He just wants people to talk about him again.
Count me in as the old man yelling, although I’m more of the “get off my lawn” type. I just don’t get the appeal of sharing my whole life to a bunch of people. Plus, how do people find the time to always be on Facebook etc? First you post, then check the responses, then respond to the responses. F’in crazy. Lady that cuts my hair said she just lost a client because she didn’t “like” the pictures the client posted of her sons lacrosse game, but saw that my hairdresser had liked one of their friends kids pics. People crazy.
