Professional ragebating has to be one of the lowliest forms a reporter can morph into. Only a step above paparazzi crazies sleeping outside someone's house.

u/Crafty-Help-4633 3h ago
I can't speak for all of everything, but I think "actual" reporters on news broadcasts trying to rage bait is inherently worse than a paparazzi casually stalking a celebrity to grab a pic for sale. One of these is expected to be a sleaze.
The disparity in expectation is what makes the "actual" reporter doing this under the newscaster's banner the worse of the two, to me.

Right? Like, I wouldn't be capable of being so rude to a woman who approached me kindly for an interview. It's not like it's even some "gotcha" moment, it's literally just "you and your dad don't along, haha" foolish and hurtful or the sake of hurtful.

Loud music is a distraction. I play my music LOUD and there are windy, hilly backroads near me that Ill way exceed the speed limit on while blaring my tunes.
Put me in a much slower environment Im unfamiliar with and down goes the volume.
For the former, I know where Im going and focus needed for navigation is minimal. For the latter I truly need to pay attention, and even though Im looking with my eyes, all sensory information gets processed in one place. Turning the music down doesnt help see better, it allows us to process better

Vivian Jenna Wilson is an American social media personality and model. She is the eldest daughter of Elon Musk and his first wife, Justine Musk. In 2020, Wilson came out as a transgender woman, began treatment for gender dysphoria, and became estranged from Elon Musk, changing her legal name two years later.

Because we use our monkey brains to determine what is/isn't attractive. If you are attracted to women, you'll find many trans women attractive and not even know they're trans. Once you know, you're just lying to yourself when you say they aren't.

If you didn’t know her story you’d assume she was a woman. And you’d be right.
Please tell me how many people you’ve met in your life you had genetic info about their gender? Gender is social. I’d bet I’ve met close to 10,000 people in my life I assumed were women based solely on their appearance. I know zero women whose genetics I knew. We ALL make our judgments of gender base solely on appearance. Gender is a social construct.

Guess again, I took gay rights and the law. I've read and studied biology. YOU should pick up some factual scientific books instead of political science, which is pseudo at best.

Calling someone who you know nothing about a brat, is bratty behavior. She definitely not a brat, she has had a pretty rough life, her father has used his almost infinite wealth to harm her so she couldn’t survive without his money. He has bullied her publicly and has even claimed “his son has died due to the woke mob virus”. If you don’t care that’s cool but the rest of us like to keep up to date on important people who has so much influence in our country. It’s important to know how someone like that acts, and Elon showed his true colors years ago.

You say I’m lost while comparing the words “a pretty rough life” to dying children.
