Nitpick: Yoko Ono is John Lennon’s widow, not former wife (which would imply that they divorced).
Fixed
Oh dang , you can edit titles on Lemmy?!
Yes
Isn’t that open to abuse somewhat?
Nah not more than editing comments, and I’d say its worth it cause the plethora of typos in titles
(if you really care you can loom at the logs for the original title too)
I’ve never understood why there isn’t a “view edits” button.
There is on the website. If you are on a mobile you might not.
That feels like it would be very open to abuse: OP can edit the post later to read:
“Upvote and comment to show your respect for the Proud Boys who are staying strong! The government has become our Yoko Ono!”
Then readers will all wonder if this is new code talk and be surprised by the votes and engagement.
Probably, but you can also view all edits. Lemmy is very open to history of files.
How? I’ve tried looking on the website but couldn’t figure it out (I’m a bit tech illiterate tbf)
I know I’ve looked at it before. But now I can’t find it either. Maybe it was changed?
It’s actually even worse:You know, I don’t want to give anybody any ideas
I can’t believe I missed your presumably evil suggestion by only 18 minutes
(Although I can guess at some possible examples)

Because Yoko Ono is a cunt. And I hate that word but completely describes her.
Yes I know John was very emotionally, mentally, and physically abusive to her.
Australians wouldn’t agree with you on your stance on Yoko. She’s too bad of a person.
From what I’ve seen I envy Australians on their creative uses of that word.
But it’s seems as if it’s usually not really a derogatory term there.
Depends on how it’s said and any adjectives.
“He’s a good cunt”
Vs. She’s a right cunt
Yes I know John was very emotionally, mentally, and physically abusive to her.
Then you know wrong, because he wasn’t.
I don’t know much about their family history. What did Yoko Ono do that warranted the domestic abuse?
Edit: Yeesh don’t know why people are getting angry over a genuine question. I don’t know much about celebrities and just asking why people here feel that her abuse was justified.
What did Yoko Ono do that warranted the domestic abuse?
Nothing. Nobody “deserves” domestic abuse, if you feel like you need to hit your spouse out of anger it’s probably best to just exit the relationship.
I apologize that this may not be a good answer. I don’t know Yoko Ono and don’t know much about her, but nobody deserves domestic violence.
I think people are misunderstanding my question. See: https://lemmy.world/comment/3216636
She burnt the roast. POW! Right in the kisser.

Everyone do yourself a favor and watch this with CC on
I mean, maybe if she sing the notes in the correct order, something that looks like a song could arise from that.
Make sure to watch with subtitles
Okay, what the hell was that? lol
Not clicking the link but am reporting it cause I know it’s bad 😂
To be fair, John himself was also a colossal piece of shit to Julian.
Paul McCartney wrote Hey Jude originally as a song to Julian to comfort him from John’s abuse and affair with Yoko. Paul was more of a dad to Julian than John was.
Julian only had to buy these things at auction because John intentionally left him out of his will.
How shitty her reputation is?
I think she’s scummy AF for this stuff, but she didn’t break up The Beatles. People who say that have no idea what they’re talking about.
Not saying you were saying that (though it seems heavily implied).
Who are the Beatles?
There’s a whole lot of fucked up with everyone involved. I have experiance with a family with a dead famous dude and there’s fucked up shit going on there too. Apperently, it’s quite common.
It’s common in non celebrity families as well. When someone dies it’s like everyone decides to be as shitty as possible to the ones who were closest to the deceased.
When my mom died her family broke into my house and took everything. My dad was left with nothing to remember her by. It was horrible. These were the same people who refused to talk to her for months prior to her death. Then they had the audacity to blame my father and I for her death. Like motherfuckers if you would have answered her calls at least once you’d know she was in severe physical pain when she died. It had nothing to do with us.
It’s not talked about a lot, but neuropathy kills all the time.
Fuck dude, I’m sorry for your loss and the shitty aftermath you had to deal with when you were grieving. I hope you and your father have found peace and happiness and that you don’t have contact with those vultures at all anymore.
They don’t even have to be dead yet for this shit to happen.
We have a relative in a home in serious cognitive decline. We kept their stuff with his sibling. Friends are asking ‘what about the valuable X/Y he had’, ‘does he have much money in the bank?’ etc. Parasites seem to come out of the woodwork at these times. It’s disgraceful.
Yeah, the older I get, I’m kinda glad that nobody in my family has much.
When my mom’s mom passed, she left everything to my mom (and like a dollar each to her two sisters), but honestly, it wasn’t much at all. A mess of debt and paperwork to sort out and a house in terrible shape. Her sisters were hurt at first but realized they weren’t missing out, and they still have a decent relationship, especially after my mom told them that she was willing to talk about sharing/giving them anything they wanted.
Now, years later, my parents (and my sister and I, and with help from pros) totally gutted and renovated the house and my parents just sold it earlier this year. My mom has said repeatedly that she wants to give her sisters as well as my sister and I some of the money from the house, but honestly I don’t really care about the money at all. If I get anything I’ll probably save it toward a down payment on a house of my own someday, but if I never see a dime, it’s no big deal.
On the other side, when my dad’s dad passed, he was similarly laid back about things, but his sister got really bold and rude about claiming lots and lots of stuff, and it only got worse when my grandma moved out of her house into assisted living.
Now that house is almost ready to sell as well, and she’s already asking about her share (of the house my parents did everything with). She’s even hoarded the lions share of housewares, appliances, etc. too, which are sitting in boxes in her storage unit, even as my sister and I both were buying those same things over the past several years as we established our own homes.
Really, the only things I have from the house are two pieces of furniture (which my aunt wanted but wouldn’t fit in her storage unit), one small set of glass dishes, some mixing bowls, and my grandpap’s old favorite coffee mug. I think of him every time I use it, and that’s all that really matters to me.
Fame is not healthy for humans. It makes them do weird, fucked up shit.
Agreed. I think you have to be a certain kind of narcissistic/attention-seeking to be famous at all and I think that humans in general are greedy. Which all translates to, celebrities are likely more fucked up than we think and their family dynamics probably match.
Now add former heroin addicts to the equation.
Reason #4368 why she made the world an objectively worse place to live.
The world is worse to live on because some rich kid had to buy back old letters from his dad?
Actually, yes. Only by a tiny tiny bit, true. But it is a worse place for it. Do you think that kid, who did not choose who his dad was or who his dad chose to marry after divorcing his mom, would be happier if he could have had his only letters from his dead father while he was grieving instead of waiting until he could both build up the money and negotiate a price with his step mom? If that one kid would have been happier, then the world would have been a better place, even if only by a tiny tiny bit.
"The most ironic thing is with the settlement that I did receive [20 million pounds from his father’s estate since John only gave him 100K in his will], is that I’ve been buying his stuff back with that, so, I’m buying his stuff back with his money, which is absolutely insane.”
had to
Oh? Was his life endanger without them? Someone had a gun to his head?
No?
Sounds like a rich kid just wanted a price of daddies history.
Wow, a heartless online moron who has no idea about this story had to add his two cent rage bait comment online and couldn’t have been more incorrect… if you’re gonna troll, at least be good at it…
