Or Skanky Pete. Why are there so many derogatory words beginning with that sound? ---

I doubt this is the connection, but “a skeet” is a Newfoundland slang term for a young white trash person, sort of similar to the british chav, but more closely associated with rural “baymen”. ---

Ye has bipolar disorder. He’s been open about it. Supposed to take medication for the condition. He goes off the meds when he wants to get “creative”. These are the worst episodes. He should stay on the meds and take some LSD or shrooms for the creative part. Narcissistic personality disorder - runs deep in the celebrity/sports/political world. He’s got a cult following. I fear someone of them will take up the calling go after Kim and/or the kids. Dude is messed up.

Hadn’t heard about this , but my first thought was that it was a play on the nickname Skeeter. Basically, calling him a redneck or cracker. I’ll admit if I called central casting looking for a redneck, I’d expect them to send someone that looks like Davidson. West seems to have had mental problems from the first time I ever heard of him. I don’t really recall anything violent tho. I hear Britney Spears dad is looking for a new job… ---

Y’know, if Pete hadn’t had any psychological problems before, he would by now… _Pete? This is your self-appointed Life Coach, dr. digs._ _STOP dating ANYONE in the public eye. Move to rural Pennsylvania and find a nice girl. Work on her family’s dairy farm, and get clean (except the occasional six of Yuengling after the day’s chores are done)._ _Oh, and hang out with mentally-healthy people. It’ll feel foreign at first, but it’s worth it._ ---

Your advice to him would be to give up his very successful career because of his GF’s abusive ex? While I feel sorry for Kim Kardashian - I don’t actually know much about her, but nobody deserves an ex like this - in some ways this whole debacle has been helpful for other women with exes just like Kanye. Like see, see! This is just what Bob/Julie/Max was like. It kinda helps people understand a bit more. I am kinda surprised Kim Kardashian hasn’t taken out a restraining order yet, but maybe she’s been advised that it would escalate matters. Sometimes it does. Hope she and her kids have trustworthy bodyguards. ---

I hope Kanye Kim and everyone else connected to them are swallowed by a sinkhole and never heard from again. ---

> [@RickJay](#): > > Honestly, he may be onto something there. Given what people will pay to have an anonymous record on an electronic list saying they own an amateurish cartoon, he might well have found a way to part more suckers from more money. On the other hand, basically he’ll sell about three of these devices, which will immediately be hacked, and their contents released for free to everyone with a computer and an internet connection. I’m not a big fan of pirating music, but in this case I think it’s not just OK, but out and out praiseworthy. Regarding the rest of the rather scary shit going on - not much to add beyond what others have said better than I could. I was once on the other side of a locked door, with a friend whose ex-boyfriend had been stalking her, while the boyfriend was pounding on the door and screaming epithets. It was… unpleasant (this was in a dorm, and he was taken to the psychiatric ward for a few days). ---

Kanye West’s new music video apparently is a Claymation cartoon that shows him decapitating Pete Davidson and burying him alive. This is not okay.
