I’m already ugly so might as well get paid for it.

Why should only the beautiful people (apologies for quoting Marilyn Manson) get paid, anyway? They’re already skating through life because they won the genetics lottery, so they don’t need the money like the ugly people do.

Anybody offering?
Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 days ago
Pay me and I’ll gladly offer a verbal beatdown.

A thousand bucks? No, sorry, but I do have other things that could help. Holes that could be filled in your life.
Chivera@lemmy.world 2 days ago
You’re offering holes? Where’s the line
hotdogcharmer@lemmy.zip 2 days ago
That’s literally free money, yes please.
ivanafterall@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Sure. Make the check out to, “I know you are, but what am I?”
klemptor@startrek.website 2 days ago
Fuck that, make the check out to Cash!

But that’s not a sick burn right back in their mean faces to show them you don’t even care what they think and that you can’t even help that it’s like that.

That is the answer I would expect from logic Queen

Are you implying she’s the logic queen because of her looks? 😜

Without any hesitation.
I had long hair (blonde, very thick and curly) in my late teens. Back then men with long hair were pretty rare outside the larger cities, so I usually got a large variety of insults nearly every time I went to countryside.
Sometimes people would throw money at my feet and yelled “Go to a barber, freak!” I always thanked them out loud and then I picked the money up.
Free money is always nice.

People throwing money at you because you have long hair seems somewhat unbelievable just saying
Lorindol@sopuli.xyz 1 day ago
Nowadays, definitely.
But a few decades ago in my backwater country this was reality. It happened to me twice on different regions and one of my friends who also had long hair told me it had also happened to him. I only got pocket change, but still enough to buy a can of beer ;)
At the time we deduced that there had to have been some broadcast TV show which had given them this bizarre idea, since widespread Internet access was years away at the time.
But as if this was not enough, the wierdest heckling I got was when I walking the dog with my girlfriend and a group of guys about our age passed us and called us “fucking gay”. My girlfriend was feminine, pretty and I was very far from both.
It was a very, very strange time.

I’d take the $1000 and then pay someone $100 to tell me I’m beautiful.
nexguy@lemmy.world 2 days ago
I’ll do it for free. You are beautiful.
original_reader@lemmy.zip 2 days ago
Sure. Not my fault that that person cannot appreciate true beauty. If they even want to pay for that lack of understanding, by all means, be my guest.

Not ugly, but everybody has their own view and 1000$ is 1000$.
InnerScientist@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Pay me and find out.

Do I get paid $1,000,000 if I’m Ugly²
?

Yes i am, tyvm.
KenOh@feddit.online 2 days ago
I always wonder about casting calls for acting when they’re looking for someone who is ugly or otherwise unsightly. Like, what’s kind of paper trail do they have on that?
explodicle@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
Sorry, best we can do is a beautiful person with glasses and shoddy clothes.
notarobot@lemmy.zip 2 days ago
Yeah! Is it like “there is a character that is so ugly they are always sad and kill themselves and you seem perfect for that role!”
Botzo@lemmy.world 2 days ago
Omg thank you for the money!
NotSteve_@piefed.ca 2 days ago
Yeah?

For $1,000 bucks you can call me slurs for 8-hours straight.
AlligatorBlizzard@sh.itjust.works 2 days ago
That’s $125/hr. That’s a hell of a lot more than I get paid, but at least I get breaks. And most of the time I’m not called slurs.
FunctionallyLiterate@lemmy.ca 2 days ago
“Most.”
Sorry you have to put up with that crap.
lengau@midwest.social 2 days ago
I can multitask. Get called slurs while I’m working and make an extra $1000/day.
