    I spend years getting a degree and working my ass off to get into a job i’ll work for the rest of my life, just to afford a slightly comfortable existence. This girl says some dumb redneck shit for 5 seconds and is set for life.

    We live in a society. Bottom text.

      Don’t question The Economy. There is no better way to make decisions about wealth allocation. This is the most efficient and fair way. Repeat after me.

      To be fair, this is pretty much the story of any right wing politician too… at least this girl (arguably) didn’t ruin the lives of millions.

      Would you like to be known as the chick who “spits on dicks” or as a the guy who “sticks a thumb up the butt” if it meant you’re set for life? I think you’re viewing the “set for life” part but you’re forgetting that you’re also setting a moniker for life. She can do whatever she wants with the rest of her life but all people will remember is hawk tuah and that will be so for the rest of her life.

      I don’t know about you but I’d rather take my otherwise irrelevant existence rather than have my entire being distilled down to a single thing I did.

        Honestly…I’d take it if it set me up for life. Realistically, 99.9% of the people who can’t see past the moniker would never have mattered to me anyway and as for the stuff about your life being distilled to just that, who gives a flying fuck as long as you make sure you’re good with the life you lived and do right by the people you actually care about and that care about you. Besides “for life” in 2024 means “a year of being inactive, max”.

        With that being said, someone in this thread said this is a symptom of a diseased society and I think they’re onto something.
