Even with all the other sperging that shows how little Bob actually understands about economics, this post here is probably the greatest indicator of his economic retardation. "I need earnings to go up so I can produce more, but I need to produce more so earnings go up!" Bob, that is
literally how business works. Sell more product, make more money, use money to make more product. The fact that this seems an insurmountable hill to climb for you is proof positive you will never be a success in anything in your life.

Yes, a lot of the posts from the Biden official Twitter account and the "Biden-Harris HQ" account (no idea how official it is) are cringy and undignified -- but if you care about your dignity you wouldn't have become a Democrat in the first place.
Dems really don't understand that they can't copy Trump's playbook and expect it to work the same way. A staged photo of Biden giving the viewer a letter L in a Dairy Queen is a blatantly obvious attempt to force a meme, it reeks of insincerity, and worst of all, it could also be interpreted as Biden himself "holding the L," which is the exact opposite of what they want. Trump is a showman that knows how to be entertaining, and pretty much every meme that has come out around him has felt genuine. Even when people are trying to mock him with an unflattering picture, his supporters will look at it and go "yeah, so what?"
Biden is probably the most embarrassing president in decades, maybe the most embarrassing of all time.

China's BYD is going to dominate the electric vehicle market. This particular model looks comfy even if you stuff in Bobby, Lesser Bro, and his equally doughy family. No wonder the US is so scared shitless that they impose a 100% tariff.
That looks like a perfectly okay car so Bobby's being a contrarian idiot, but I'm not getting anywhere near a Chinese-made electric car. I hate all electrics, but I really don't trust China's track record on anything they've come up with themselves.

I can honestly say that I nor anyone I know has ever thought of shooting swans, and I live in one of those backwards areas that Bob always derides. Superior Bostonians, everyone.

Nicholas: "Hollywood is full of weird sex perverts, no wonder they're all standing up for each other."
Bob: "Nah, they're just buddies, that's why!"
Honestly, considering how many
other sex perverts continue to work in Hollywood, I don't see why Kevin Spacey should be barred from the industry. Either clear house and get rid of every last one of 'em (simultaneously killing the industry, but would that be so bad?), or admit that you don't actually care that much and let anyone work.

The hooded bishie, which I presume to be the main character, doesn't blend in with the crowd either.
Bob's attempted own of this guy is pretty fucking stupid, which isn't surprising. John Wilkes Booth may have been a famous actor, but it was the 1860s. Only a tiny minority of Americans would have seen him in a theatrical production, and maybe a small amount more might have seen his picture in an advertisement, so very few people would be able to recognize him on sight. And because he was a white man in an overwhelmingly white country, that meant he was able to evade capture for a couple weeks; the family that he took refuge with last before his death didn't know who he was at all, despite hearing about the assassination and the fugitive.
Yes, in a way, Booth's assassination of Lincoln would be like Tom Cruise killing Biden, in that it would be a famous actor killing the President. But that's as far as the similarity of the hypothetical goes, because it's
2024, not 1865. Thanks to mass media and especially the internet, practically everyone in the world knows who Tom Cruise is and what he looks like, so a situation where someone doesn't recognize him would be practically impossible.
Using this as an argument against "a black man would stick out like a sore thumb in feudal Japan" is absolutely fucking retarded. If anyone saw him attacking someone, he would be
literally the only suspect; hiding in plain sight would simply not cut it. All the other AC games understood this and had their protagonists be people that could be just another face in the crowd, something that's actually quite important if you just killed a guy. And you know how they did that? By being the same race as everyone else around them, or at least one that wouldn't be an impossible sight like the Indian in AC3.
Bob is such a goddamn retard, it legitimately hurts my head sometimes.
In that moment, "Samsquatch" became a hero. He might not know it himself, but he will be revered for all time. Or at least as long as people remember his epic own of a minor z-list Internet celebrity named Robert "MovieBob" Chipman.
Honestly, I just find it most amusing that Bob believes he's
owed the basement apartment he used to live in. Never mind that he clearly can't afford it anymore given the rent increase, it used to be his and he wants it back, dammit!
I doubt he was evicted, at least in the legal sense of the word. Eviction takes time, usually a lot of time, and getting evicted in a cobalt blue state like Massachusetts during COVID had to be next to impossible.
IANAL, but a quick search led me to
this article about how to deal with tenants if you plan on selling or renovating. Summarized, if you're selling a home that someone is renting, you might have the ability to cancel a lease or evict based on state or local law. If you want to renovate, you typically have to wait out their current lease and then inform them it won't be renewed, then resort to eviction if they refuse to leave.
That seems to be what happened in Bob's case. The landlady figured she could get more rent after doing some renovations, so she informed her current renters that their leases weren't going to be renewed and showed them the door, then she fixed up the place and rented it out again. The only question is whether she actually intended on selling and changed her mind, or if she just said that so they would go quietly, or if Bob was actually lying about her saying she was kicking him out to sell the property to make her look bad.
I don't know all the ins and outs of Massachusetts property law, but my guess is this was more or less done by the book. A landlord has the right to decide not to let a renter renew their lease, so as long as he was properly notified and given enough time to get his stuff and move back in with Ma Chipman, Bob doesn't really have any room to complain.
And at any rate, his suffering is funny.
sometimes I get tired of being right all the time. We are five years past when I was supposed to already be on my star ship and now I have to deal with another failed human being."
