I forgot about those selfies at the Mandela Funeral and the ones in the Oval Office are just as disgusting!
Yes, It is useful knowledge. So much of our culture and even language goes back to that time.
must have been, she won't be doing it again.

I can only think of one time where I probably could’ve gotten myself killed doing something stupid back when I was young & dumb, thinking it was a good idea at the time. Thankfully, I just came away with a few bruises - and just a little bit wiser.
Though, taking picture rarely resulted in tragedy back in the day. Now it’s become relatively common for people addicted to selfies or looking at their phone instead of where they’re waling/driving.

Yes, indeed. Even if a person is just familiar with Latin and Greek prefixes & suffixes they got a good chunk of English right there.

There are places like that I’d like to see, but are now just too “touristy” for my liking. Places where I might bring a camera (a real camera), but would leave the phone behind.
I rarely use my cheapo cellphone the way it is, I hate the idea of being constantly connected - I don’t fit in with much of current society in that respect(and among some others, heh).
The average teenager today has something like 1,200 photos of.......Themselves, on their phone
Here is Dunning-Kruger, and Murrey's Bell Curve, all wrapped up in one tight smug narcissistic bundle. I want to see his f#ggoty, murderous ass in orange...
OK your photo is the VAINEST...
Can you imagine what the press would be doing with this picture if it was President Trump using a selfie stick??? Of course he never would, but the double standard in Washington is breathtakingly blatant.
For her it was a lesson in finality, let's hope others learn from it.........but I doubt it, vanity is a potent brain filter.
I just came here for the comments.
Not disappointed!
:D
“Yup, too bad she couldn’t just accept that she was a pretty girl without some kind of constant outside validation. Sadder still, it’s a pandemic condition these days.”
Thank you, perfectly stated!
We played army with BB guns.
“Tough crowd out here.”
Virtually no one on this board knows the woman or her family. Any discussions here are commentary regarding our society. There are thousands of Obits published daily, must we cry for each of them?
Agree 100%.
That said ... HAH-hah! Wotta maroon.
