One famous chap who is nailing it is Shatner. Strive to be spreading joy like that guy, whatever your means.
- candiddevmike 1y agoShatner has always been a jerk, the joy you're seeing is manufactured PR for a man who is worried about his "legacy" like any of the other older rich.
- kstrauser 1y agoDoes that make a difference to people outside his personal circle, though? An extreme example of this is Bill Gates, spending billions to cure diseases. Maybe he’s only trying to buy his way into heaven, but I bet the people cured by his medicine couldn’t care less about his motivations.
- add-sub-mul-div 1y agoI agree in the case of Bill Gates. Shatner, however, is just some Hollywood (reported) asshole. I do lose respect for a celebrity like that even if I'm not personally interacting with them.
- kstrauser 1y agoI get it, I do. My opinion on Shatner was that he was a jerk to his coworkers a long time ago. I don’t follow him super closely, but most people chill over the course of 50 years or so. I do hope he has.
- mjevans 1y agoI don't know much about anyone, but the 1990s Star Trek captains were more my speed. Picard, Sisko (spelling), Janeway I hope none of them are bad people IRL, they didn't give that impression on the little screen.
