Yeah. There are very few people who genuinely work at their dream job and genuinely prefer that job over anything else. Chris doesn't seem to understand that it's possible to work a job you don't like.

The thing is that he probably has absolutely no reason to quit his job. Is not a soul crushing and mind draining grind like most white collar drones of today nor it takes a serious toll on his body that he arrives home and collapses the second he gets there. He has, by today's standards, a nice job as an engineer of all things. I got a bud who is starting to work at a dockyard as an engineer and he works 13 hours 5 days a week and every weekend he is crushed in mind and body when he gets home.

He doesn't know how lucky he is. But he probably will invent some sort of excuse, like his oppressive conservative colleages bully him too much or some crap.

The irony of it is that he attacks “white privilege” while being the embodiment of it.

I wonder if Bob is deluded enough to think James Gunn remembers him/that interview and any day now he's going to notice Bob defending him from the Nazis on Twitter and will extend a producer credit to him for Suicide Squad 2 or something.

I think we all know the answer to that.

To be fair, that chicken would be a deadlier weapon when ingested than even Excalibur itself. I gotta imagine it would tear through you harder than a hatched xenomorph.

Maybe he should do a crossover with Jack Scalfani, that at least would give Homeland Security a reason to arrest both of these plonkers for domestic terrorism.

And he also pretends that it's Southern cuisine. I have literally never heard of anyone else using Mountain Dew as a marinade and the top result I can find is from a Boy Scouts website, who probably eat it because it's a sugar fix and not because of anything else.

Southern cuisine, my ass! If you would feed that shit to a prison inmate, he most likely would sue (if he survives eating that shit) and IMHO he would have a rock solid case.

 

[ConsoleWarVet]

Since the abomination of a chicken Bob cooked is being discussed again I saw this on IG a few days ago.



The account that posted this (vulgarchef) is entirely self-aware though and just makes dumb white trash food for laughs. And it looks significantly more edible than Bob's food poisoning trash-bag marinade.

BOB: Populism is cancer.
ME: Says the man who looks like a walking tumor.

Populism happens for a reason, because certain segments of the population feel their political leaders ignore them and so they rally around leaders and causes they feel will represent them. What Reddit is doing by buying up Gamestop stock is because ordinary people feel the stock market doesn't work for them and they want to stick it to the man. Bernie Sanders and AOC didn't get cult followings on the Internet for no reason at all, well AOC had two big reasons, but they got their following because they spoke the lingo of millineals burdened with student debts and a world where the rich get wealthier while people like them struggle to make ends meet in low wage service jobs. Same with Trump he tapped into rust belt workers frustrations at decades of losing their jobs and gave them an outlet to air their greviences the other politicians had ignored. So maybe populism is a cancer, but it's a cancer caused by treating your body like shit by smoking 4 packs of smokes a day for 40 years and wondering why you have lung cancer.

Bob has no need for a populist movement. His whole existence is based around living off the scraps the elites give him: fast food and big budget blockbusters. Anyone who opposes the status quo is a threat to him and his NEET lifestyle.

And he also pretends that it's Southern cuisine. I have literally never heard of anyone else using Mountain Dew as a marinade and the top result I can find is from a Boy Scouts website, who probably eat it because it's a sugar fix and not because of anything else.

If anything a southerner would marinade his meat in Coca-Cola, they're crazy for that stuff down there. If anything Bob probably knew the name comes from what they called moonshine down south and assumed all southerners drank the soda. So he was talking out of his ass to avoid being humiliated.

The thing is that he probably has absolutely no reason to quit his job. Is not a soul crushing and mind draining grind like most white collar drones of today nor it takes a serious toll on his body that he arrives home and collapses the second he gets there. He has, by today's standards, a nice job as an engineer of all things.

Throwing away a cushy decent paying job for the uncertainty of trying to make a living off doing a podcast in an overcrowded market? Proof that higher education doesn't always make you smart.

I'd say that populist movements are inherently better for society than elitist movements.

I do not like the socialist values AOC espouses, but if the people are daft enough to want socialism then the people should get it, because in a democratic society the will of the people is supreme. Similarly, many people on the left wouldn't want a more religious society, but if the people want it then they should quite rightly get it.

The problem with Elitist leadership comes from their utter detachment from regular people. People don't actually mind real tyranny if their government allows for economic freedom (Singapore), but our current Neocon/neoliberal leadership have absolutely no regard for what regular people actually need plus they do think they're so much smarter than the rest of us. It's true of Silicon Valley elites all the way down to dispossessed intellectuals like Sam Harris; they're noblemen and think less of serfs just because. I can't put Diabeto as the bottom rung of noblemen because he isn't one and never will be.

Bob is the literal protagonist-centered morality trope made manifest in real life. While he calls himself an asshole, I would bet real money he sees himself like Gregory House - the loveable asshole who is ultimately right and wants to help people. The only rock-bottom left for him is the realization of just how evil and wretched he truly is. To ever have a moment of clarity to see how he's been the nazi all along. Which I highly doubt he'll ever learn.

This is my take on Bob as well. He realizes he's an asshole, but he thinks he can make up for it by targeting his assholishness at "bad people".

It's WhedonSpeak aka BuffySpeak. It's a plague upon modern cinema. Mr. Movie Tropes guy somehow doesn't realize that it is used intentionally to make the speaker sound dysfluent. Buffy the vampire slayer, patient zero of the Buffyspeak epidemic, was a bimbo (at least to start with) and talks like one. Bob is trying to be taken seriously as an intellectual while literally talking like a teenage bimbo, and he has been doing this for years. It's the mannerism equivalent of those nerds who will quote Monty Python sketches or some other nerd-favored entertainment constantly regardless of context; in other words, it's stunningly autistic.

True to my word, I have addressed Joss Whedon with the following message:

“Whedonspeak” means to bring natural air to dialogue between filmed characters. Unfortunately, sunglassed blobs in Lynn, MA use your conversational crutch technique in written conversation. You popularized it, so you share responsibility.

Denounce this practice.

I eagerly await his reply. If there's anybody else you'd like me to address for this offense, let me know.

The problem with this, even if it's right, is that most people far up (in both spectrums, because detached retards are in all colors and sizes) will constantly parrot that the masses don't know what's good for them, they are too shortsighted and too selfish to think about what's better for society or the country and focus too much on small issues.

They would be right if most people in this current day and age were worried about the gender in bathrooms, discrimination laws, acceptance and forcing people to treat you normally when you want to be treated as a speciall and unique little princess. But people are worried about if they will have a job next year, if they will be able to put food on the table and if they will have a roof over their heads, things that are a concern to absolutely everyone and are a symptom of something greater since they are not getting properly and timely adressed.

It's true of Silicon Valley elites all the way down to dispossessed intellectuals like Sam Harris; they're noblemen and think less of serfs just because. I can't put Diabeto as the bottom rung of noblemen because he isn't one and never will be.

The problem is that Silicon Valley Elites do not realize how frail their glass castles are and even the smallest dent would make eveything crumble and they would now have even the slightest idea of what happened. And it's hilarious that their levels of detachment are reaching cyberpunk levels of corporate rats.

Also, if you would need to put Bob, he would be like Dyogenes the Cynical, but without being smart and without being able to fit in a keg.

MovieBob thinks the left is being manipulated by the right. All while lusting after an attractive woman.

 

[Brother Wind]

People like Bob tend to conflate being able to empathize with specific characteristics of someone or a group of people as condoning all of their views and actions, despite empathy having nothing to do with that. You can empathize with the guy who acts like a complete shithead because his father also beat him as a child, but not condone him being a shithead it isn't that complicated.
At the end of the day though, Bob and his ilk don't like empathy because it forces them to humanize and identify with the other side, which makes it harder to maintain their 'Us vs Them' narrative, and heaven knows we can't have that. I personally don't see Bob as tragic because he's brought most if not all of his own problems on himself, not to mention the stunning lack of care and tact he shows other people on a daily basis.

I mean frankly, empathy should only be quantified as far away from yourself as you can empathize with. Like if you can empathize with a Nazi shooting at you. Then you are a pretty empathetic person.

If you think empathy with someone you disagree with makes you a Nazi. Then you have 0 empathy. Like how do you get so full of yourself? Like shit man, I am a weedy little nerd, so I was bullied a lot. And frequently it was from kids with shitty home lives. And I never came away with a chip on my shoulder. Maybe it was my Dad telling me I was an easy target and not that they were jealous of my giant brain was tbe difference between me and Bob.

Could people regardless of their politics just really like sticking it to corporate fatcats who think they can do what they please?

Nah, must be the right playing dirty tricks.

Seriously, how hard is it to believe that everyone hates the guy on top who doesn't play fair with everyone else

The real problem is idiots combined the definitions of sympathy with empathy. When someone has empathy for another human being, that means they connect to shared experience. This, of course can be anything. Joy, sorrow, anger, etc. Runs the gamut. Sympathy is the attempt to understand another person's emotions and relate to them without the shared experience. This also runs the gamut to, but is usually applied to sorrow. This is what happens when retards teach English and Vocabulary.

You have a better chance at getting something good out of a populist movement than an elitist movement just because as a member of the masses the chances are better you'll get something out of it than a smaller group of elites. Take free college for example, if college becomes free to all it would most likely suck and drive down the value of college degrees even further, resulting in lowered wages and increased competition. At the same time free college could help a poor person get a good paying job if they study the right material and meet the right people. You could also take the money you would have originally invested in your kids college education, assuming you weren't getting completely assfucked by taxes, and buy a home in a good school district or put your kids in a private school, giving them a better educational foundation. Better chance overall you'll get something good out of a movement that's fighting for more people than a movement that's fighting for a few people.

Of course if you think you're a temporarily embarrassed Superior member of the elite good guys then you'll oppose any populist movement by the wasteland ghouls thinking you'll get to join the cool kids table eventually.

Glad your Dad gave you some good and honest advice on why bullies target certain individuals and how it made you move past the bullying. I doubt Bobs Dad ever gave him that kind of advice, or any advice really. The two didn't have a good relationship and the way Bob acted in High School shows neither of his parents made any effort to help their son adjust to the real world.

Kinda scary how many supposed Socialist revolutionaries fighting the system or democrats become so quick to defend the system when the system controlled press tells them a populist movement is bad. The complete 180 from Occupy Wall St ten years ago shows just how identity politics and calling everyone to the right of Mao a Nazi has driven so many people to abandon their principles. At least Bob has the excuse that he never stood for any of this. He was always championing an elitist society first as an objectivist then as a neo-lib leftist. So many people I know changed completely over the last ten years into intolerant, elitist snobs but Bob never changed.
