I wish they would maybe capitalize the proper nouns in this post. On first readings, not knowing Astronomer is the name of a corporation, I thought they were just referring to a CEO that also happened to be an avid stargazer -“What a strange detail to include…”.
And they would have likely gotten away with it, if it wasn’t for that pesky kisscam.
Might have also gotten away with it if they didn’t completely freak out in front of the kiss cam, so everyone started thinking they were cheating and looked into who they were.
This. Entirely this.
If they had just gone “woo hoo we’re on the TV thing at a concert! Woohoo” … Like everyone expected them to, then nobody would have given a shit.
They’re just people having fun at a concert.
Meanwhile, they freaked the fuck out, the guys on stage pointed it out, and everyone went full Psycho trying to figure out what was going on. And now they’re in the daily dose of Internet.
GG guys. Ĝis poste
Monogamy is for selfish people? Opinion?
Looks like someone is playing mental gymnastics to justify cheating…
Um, I don’t think this is about monogamy versus polyamory. This is about not abusing your position in a company to date coworkers.
Monogamy is a preference on a spectrum, and if you aren’t into it, then that’s fine. But dont throw shade on the most commonly practised form of relationship like you are somehow above it. It just makes you look pretentious and honestly a little bit sad.
Old people pretending sex is still so fun at that age it’s worth losing everything over will never not be funny to me.
Is sex so fun when your in your 20s that it’s okay for a CEO to fuck their VPs? What?
…huh?
Old people pretending sex is still so fun at that age it’s worth losing everything over will never not be funny to me.
That makes it sound like you believe that sex is fun enough when you’re younger to lose everything over.
Aside from the fact that plenty of people still have sex as they get older, it doesn’t exactly look like they’re just having a random physical affair, does it?
I’m sure they do, but it’s not the same anymore.
Eh, sex is as fun as you make it. If you vibe with the other person it’s usually a better time. I think these two just have a connection they have been missing out on with their current partners. Also marriage is a scam anyways. If you really want to commit to someone, you shouldn’t need the threat of financial ruin to keep that promise.
To me, sex is like music and parties: definitely for the youth.
So, at what age do you intend to stop having sex, and even stop listening to music?
Oh stop it. It’s not the same anymore. Sex I haven’t had in over 30 years. I didn’t understand the fuss over something that has such a small payoff for such an enormous investment of resources.
Music? Look, I used to go out clubbing and dance til 3AM, and sometimes even head out to after parties, for the music. It was fun. Do you think sitting at my computer chair and listening to one song a day is the even near the same level of enjoyment?
Things just change as you get older. Can we stop pretending otherwise?
sounds like you’re unhappy. maybe you need to get laid, but with that attitude I can understand why nobody would want to touch you.
So how do you feel about consummating a marriage?
I won’t judge you.
I don’t get it…
Is he an astronomer? Or is that the name of his company? Seriously, who here had ever even heard of him, or his company prior to this?
Yet somehow this is now major news? Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain!
It’s news because it’s fucking hilarious. The clip is funny even without knowing it’s a corporate scandal. But the context makes it even juicier.
At least I can take solace in the fact that I don’t need dumb shit line this to be entertained.
Excellent point. There’s a certain ‘sacrificial lamb’ vibe to this. With everything going on right now, how is this worth anyone’s time?
I’m not the biggest Coldplay fan, so let me extrapolate: if tomorrow we learned Weird Al Yankovic’s mother liked to kick puppies that would certainly be odd, definitely not good news. But I’d still think having Trump not releasing the Epstein files is a matter far more worth our attention.
Sucks that the company is named Astronomer. It’s not even space based.
Such a stupid name for a company.
Thank you for clearing this up! I, like I assume many were, was assuming this dude was a scientist.
Stockton Rush’s passengers made the same mistake.
Lol, only one I feel bad for was the kid. I heard he didn’t even want to go.
There is only 1 CEO I have seen hit the ground faster than that, I don’t think I am beeing too harsh.
We need more
CEOsdata.
Well, the CEO will need a big raise soon.
Shuffled off to another company to make it fail, too.
Hmm.
Does she have some decent guns or is it just the muscle being pushed up by the arm underneath?
There’s some middle-age mommy fat in there too.
Look at the shoulders. She’s jacked.
I wonder if they would have gotten away with it if they’d just played it cool.
100%! Imagine you look up on the big screen and you see two fifty year olds swaying to some generic pop music. Nobody would’ve cared enough to look them up.
Absolutely
Oh fuck, not not the camera… fuck fuck fuck
Who gives a fuck seriously?
You, enough to read the post and comment.
You’re in a shitpost community.
Same energy, but I like to use
⭐
Why do we care about this?
Is anyone involved in this, someone i should know?
Because it’s brainrot, notice the focus is on the CEO & not on the lady (as in equal focus)
Because the picture is a future meme template
Because it’s funny as shit.
It’s ragebait for people who think porking rights should be exclusive by default. And by that I mean nasty horrible idiots. Abolish marriage!
Toxic polyamory is just as bad as toxic monogamy. If people want to be exclusive they should be exclusive. If your partner wants to be exclusive and you don’t, and you choose to cheat, you’re still a piece of shit.
The problem isn’t the lack of monogamy, it’s the violation of your partner(‘)(s)(’) trust.
I wanted to ask if you’re ok there but then I saw lemmy.ml and everything made sense all of a sudden.
that’s brain rot thinking, you know that’s just the default and instance and therefore cannot mean anything that you think it does This is the kind of generalization behind a lot of evil in the world
It’s an echochamber with all dissent being suppressed. The way you write shows you’re deeply stuck in it.
I just expressed a maximally dissenting opinion on marriage and yet, the message still stands … Who are those dissenters that you imagine are getting suppressed on whatever that server is?
But I"m not “there” to me the local tab is meaningless, I don’t even know on what server we are having this discussion besides “the lemmiverse” So stop it with the digital provincialism !
Fuck off, tankie.
Uhhh, if you don’t like marriage, how about don’t get married?! This isn’t rocket science… They both got married. They both signed the social contract that by default means exclusivity, regardless of what you think.
Judging by how they reacted, they also understood their marriages to be assumed exclusivity, and clearly did not discuss open terms with their spouse. So basically… get some logic skills because your opinion on marriage is irrelevant here.
No, I want it abolished as a social expectation of the “default” situation.
No one forces a marriage to be monogamous…
Put it along with rest of crap in the “you are not techncially required” pile
I understand how shitty conservative social norms are to those repressed by them, but this usage of marriage as an example is… rather ridiculous.
There’s no technicality about it. The people that get married are the ones who determine the exclusivity of the marriage.
Like, it’s even dumber than that because if you didn’t have marriage, you’d still have people in exclusive relationships, so wtf are you complaining about?
Even married, you can have an honest discussion with your spouse about seeing other people (preferably before you get married), then just tell them you’re going to see Coleplay with your work girlfriend. Like it’s not illegal, and it’s not even wrong unless you make it wrong by being a shady little shit about it.
Just like fuckin… talk to each other about your feelings. God.
My besties have been in an open relationship for years and it works because of communication, trust, and trying to deserve said trust.
I love how you’re being downvoted for stating the most obvious solution. TIL certain lemmings don’t believe in healthy communication.
I’m all for people being able to bone other consenting adults, married or not, but these two clearly think that cheating is bad. If they had open relationships, then why would they care if they were seen together?
The news of it happening doesn’t land like the video of it happening does.

It’s fucking brutal.
“Coldplay hasn’t made a single in years but today they made two.” LOL
Technically they made four.
Anyone got a mirror that doesn’t require a fucking Instagram account?
Edit: YouTube short but at least it doesn’t try to beg for a login: https://m.youtube.com/shorts/xL8gdhw4q5I
Utube makes me log in to view anything if I have my vpn on.
I can see the instagram version with yt-dlp
Great solution, very easy to use /s
Yeah, it’s their fault that Meta wants you to create/login to an account. /s
I didn’t say that, it’s just that recommending a CLI tool just to view a single insta video strikes me as ridiculous.
Especially since there are a bunch of sites that will let you browse insta anonymously.
You can force youtube shorts to be displayed as a normal video by replacing everything up to the last slash with
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v\So in this case it’s:

Edit: For some reason Lemmy won’t let me put an equals sign at the end of the code block. Weird. But you’ll figure it out.
Ooo, I love learning little website tricks like this and the .com. trick on the NYT
Top comment on that video:
Coldplay hasn’t made a single in years but today they made two.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. Nicely done.
For me the video plays if I just close the login prompt.
Ah so it does, didn’t even notice that X all detached from the login prompt like that.
Oh man, so much worse. What an idiot, if they had just smiled and waved it never would’ve gone viral.
Edit: and also if they had never decided to have an affair they wouldn’t be in the situation in the first place.
if they had never decided to have an affair
Yeah, but that’s too difficult. Just ask my wife.
What if they all have an open relationship and are fine with that? (I assume they don’t but still asking)
Their reaction after getting caught on camera tells you this isn’t the case.
Honestly if they just didn’t react nobody would have cared.
That guy looks like he just had a rush of blood to the head
We’ve been living life inside a bubble, We’ve been living a lie inside a bubble.
That’s usually what causes affairs, yes.
