The Rules

Links to news stories from...
...credible sources, with...
...their original headlines, that...
...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”

Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.

You're saying you've never met or known a theater person who wasn't a total piece of shit? Because I've known a few myself. They're the star of the show, regardless of what's going on around them.

That's what I'm talking about.

I believe the technical term you’re looking for is narcissist, “theater person” is bit of a broader metric.

If anything, theatre person is a narrow metric. There are people who have never stepped a foot in theatre but they're narcissists.

So in your ideal world, there are no actors, artists, musicians, public speakers, or any other people whose work involves being in front of an audience? Can’t wait to live in your beige cubical farm of a metropolis.
