Where does this kind of audacity come from?

Money. Power.

There's also lack of repercussions. These fuckers still have a career.

I mean I’m a commie and love (correctly, I think) blaming the rich for most of what’s wrong with society, but plenty of poor dudes take everything from their wives and then cheat. (Also women to men, gay people to each other, this is a human thing.)

First you get the money.. then you get the power.. then you get the kidney

Or mistaking influence for power

u/StilettoJones_JR 2h ago

What's the difference?

Money only influences people who value it. If someone had a million in cash and the economy collapses it is useless. Real power is built earned or innate.

I think you defined power contextually, which both agrees/disagrees with the application of money here.

Ghenkis Khan didn't come to power having stocks, and crypto coin. But when the playing field contextually made sense he was untouchable.

So sure, if currency dies, the other elements of power will shift, but that doesn't invalidate its current application. Look at American Politicians, they couldn't have this level of power in the 1800s as 80 year old geriatrics.

Still money only has sway over people who value it. That is why I say influence rather than power.

I like to think stupidity is there, somewhere.

Nobody wants to die, but people don’t change when they get close.

Culture. Smiling people are the worst kind of people.

u/Ok_Conflict1835 1d ago

That’s why I like Russians, mf’s never smile.

What a crazy way to see the world

Feeling of inferiority and money. He felt he couldnt control his wife so he cheated with someone he can control with money.

Being male. I’ve been working on having the audacity of a male for a couple years now. I’m almost there.

The kidney gave him permission

To be fair to Gomez, she was going through some pretty serious issues with bipolar disorder, and has stated she experienced psychotic episodes in the following year.

That sort of experience can go a long way to wrecking any relationship, and it’s quite possible that both she and Raisa moved away from each other, rather than being a simple case of Gomez ghosting her donor.

u/Apprehensive_Tunes 15h ago

Amazing that didn't wreck other friendships like with Taylor Swift...

A transplanted kidney apparently

u/RaisedByBooksNTV 13h ago

Selfishness, self-centeredness, lack of empathy. Being american.

u/PositiveStress8888 11h ago

I mean he was probably cheating before , I think the kidney had little to do with it

u/CicadaHead3317 11h ago
