Yep. It’s even tempting to think of the internet as one big dustbin for collecting up societies miserable miscreants. But then, I think there’s something else at work beyond that. I’m perpetually unhappy with life too, but don’t want to go around interacting with people irl like some self-righteous angry mope, so it seems useful to redirect all that angst and dump it into the internet, leaving my real life personality kind, patient, sweet, daisy fresh. I remember before the internet, just bottling it up. Maybe that’s why everyone died of heart attacks in their 50s.

Although, lately I’ve started to notice by the pessimism in my posts when I’ve been spending too much time at work online and not enough time outside in the sunshine & exercising.

I wonder if any of this is healthy.

Thanks for your thoughtful and honest response. The 2-3 others directed my may amounted to a juvenile "I'm rubber, you're glue..."

What you suggested seems like a well-reasoned solution to keeping your real/physical life healthy and happy. With Internet forums providing a relief valve, of sorts. That makes a lot of sense. And I'm certain I've indulged in that, oblivious to understanding why.
 
Nice try. I was responding to a post. It's always the same people. Year after year after year.
I am unsure why you would have a valid way of hiding behind the fact that your post was a reply to another? My point remains valid, whether you replied to any previous post or not: you ventilate with a judgement on others, while you could just have ignored them. It seems like that gives you more than two minutes of self esteem. I mean, explain your point, ‘cause I wasn’t alone with my reply. Enlighten me!

A lot of insecure comments about Justine, I mean, she’s an Apple supporter and an avid fan, and she’s attending a festivity that is Apple related, I don’t see the problem here that others are clearly over exaggerating on, as usual.

Nope. I responded to a previous post with my opinion. Hardly "ventilation." That you're trying to turn that back on me with your adorable "I'm rubber, you're glue" comeback, it's still off point. Also...thank you for worrying about my self-esteem, but it isn't affected in the slightest. Seems you're the one looking for the two minutes.

Never mind, we’re having a different stance on things. You are obnoxiously fixed on a rubber ‘n glue perspective, which wasn’t my point really.

Oh gosh, I wasn’t out to harm your abundant self esteem, that would be pointless and silly. ;)

Let’s smile and be so joyful like all those people in those pictures: isn’t it all fantastic, great and amazing? Djeez, I feel so positive and exhilarated about the future ahead, after WWDC :D

I'm happy you found your 2 minutes fruitful.

Yes, you did. And in precisely the same way you blamed others of doing. So get off your high horse.

See above.
 
Haha. Gotta love all the people here jealous of iJustine's success. She has beauty, a successful social media business, probably makes tons of money (from advertisers and corporate sponsors), and likely has a much larger collection of Apple vintage hardware than 90% of the most die-hard Apple collectors (she probably didn't pay for half of them, they were likely gifted to her so she could promote them).

LOL I think she's entertaining and cute, and uber-cheesy. Nothing to hate about really.

It’s the airhead like persona that is getting her the success that I find annoying yet more so degrading to very intelligent women out there. I’m sure she’s intelligent and I get that her channel is mostly her persona I just wished she could do it successfully being smart on her channel without scaring her fans

I can’t stand that women good lord. She’s a joke

Woman! Not women as in plural. Woman.
 
Maybe she's gotten better, but my friend who briefly dated her did not have much nice to say about her - including the fact that she leveraged "sugar daddies" in her early YouTube career that would fly her over to Europe and buy her MacBook Pros.

I don’t believe that for one second. Justine wouldn’t need any such thing since she has had her own income for many years. Even before YouTube, Justine was a professional video editor. She edits her own videos even know.

Ha. That made me laugh.
 
Am I the only person seeing how Tim has his arm behind his back and not around her?

This was in 2006-7. You don't have to believe it, I only know it secondhand from my friend who told me at the time. I had no reason not to believe him, she wasn't particularly famous at the time.

You can’t blame your friend... that is not funny in the slightest sense, it’s utterly disgusting.
“But oh, how can you say so...” would a girl like that say. The way girls and men interact in a sponsorship kinda way gives me the creeps, since these chics don’t give credit when it’s due. They just grab and think their amazing cute company was their part of the deal.
