Super, surely you are not saying that sagging breasts are a bad thing, or using someone having sagging breasts to take a jab at them, correct?

I am saying neither. I'm merely remembering that people try to look their best on their wedding day. They probably spent 50K at least on that dress.

It was a comment aimed specifically at billionaires who spend gobs of money on big ego parties for themselves.

So, having sagging breasts is not looking your best? Super, if less of us made comments like you did then perhaps less women would feel the pressure to have a freaking surgery done so that they are deemed "beautiful." This distorted bro-version of beautiful that you are perpetuating with your comment is toxic.

Just looking at the big smile on her face, I'm guessing the prenup will give her at the very least 1 billion and at 56yo she can get a divorce before 60yo. She looks pretty good at 56yo and could probably move on and hook up with a single dude like Brad Pitt or Bradley Cooper :cool:

Yes. I’m familiar with that. 60-70 million years ago.

How long have we humans been on earth and we’re already fucking it up?

I’m more worried about us than a random meteor strike. Plus, Ben Affleck will save us from the meteor.

200,000 years is a conservative estimate, but maybe closer to 300,000 years. And yes, we (homo sapiens) have been fucking things up royally, but only for the past 6,000 years or so. Before that, we weren't much of a problem, just part of nature.

Dude. Maybe you're taking my comment too seriously? It was aimed at Lauren Sanchez and Jeff Bezos, because they are billionaires.

I am extremely careful with language. I was the annoying guy in college telling guys to stop referring to women as chicks or bitches. I have been fighting the beauty myth for 30 years. I don't judge women on their looks or even care about it. Can't I mock Bezos and the ridiculous party he threw. My comment wasn't really about the breasts, but rather about the lavish wedding.

Sure, you can mock Bezos, his wife, their wedding, etc. I don't think using sagging breasts is something that should be mocked, for the reason I pointed out before. And, given your fight against the beauty myth, I don't see why you would.

From an evolutionary standpoint, homo sapiens have been doing the exact opposite of fecking things up.

Despite our wars and pollution and generally making some less than optimal evolutionary choices, we went from zero to 8 billion in 300,000 years. Top that gallus domesticus. You may have us beat in sheer numbers but only because you are tasty. We can fry you and put you in a bucket if you ever get out of line.

That seems sort of a narrow definition to say that we were successful because we breed well.
