Careercow Robert Chipman / Bob / Moviebob / "Movieblob" - Middle-Aged Consoomer, CWC with a Thesaurus, Ardent Male Feminist and Superior Futurist, the Twice-Fired, the Mario-Worshipper, publicly dismantled by Hot Dog Girl, now a diabetic

[Mola Ram]

Bob has a tendency to overplay things in his own head until it becomes his new reality.

Thus why his middle school bullies deserve death and why Ellis was his bestie even though they talked for seconds once.

There was a whiff of this in his initial attempts to frame Linday's tactical nuke as "feeling borderline gaslit," and he only backed off that language when he saw how outraged her fans and (actual) colleagues were by it. I can only imagine what he says about it in private.

 

[Marissa Moira]

Same here.

Also, Mike Rowe was doing God's work a few years ago trying to get people re-invested in trades. Is he still making efforts and having success in that, or has he been cancelled for having the wrong politics?

He's still doing both, he keeps getting canceled over and over but he just got a new show on Discovery Channel's streaming service.

 

[ChampFantana]

I got to say Bob going full internet tough guy is a pleasant surprise.

Yeah he's always lied about his abilities in the past like claiming he can bench 300lbs or claiming to be a survival expert but he's just going all in on the bullshit now.

Bobert doing this while being even less intimidating than a litter of newborn kittens is particularly rich. I'm not sure which is funnier, Bobert LARPing as a tough guy, or him LARPing as a smart guy while slobbering out whatever moronic drivel he saw on Wikipedia.

Don't kid yourself. I can imagine Bob being very intimidating in real life. First of all, while we can quibble about his size, he's definitely a big boy: just look at how he towers over Anita in the infamous hoverhand pic. Second, and more pertinently, when he's not wearing sunglasses he looks crazier than a shithouse rat. There's something very off about his facial expressions and demeanor (and at this point I take it as a given that he's on the spectrum somewhere). Add to that his obvious anger control issues, and I can definitely see him menacing some poor mayonnaise ghoul who doesn't know any better.

I'm sure he's got a glass jaw, too, and any real fight would end up with him squealing like a pig in a wallow, but I could see people crossing the street to avoid him.

Bob simply says the quiet part out loud. Plus as a few people have suggested in the actual Ellis thread, Lindsay is of that particular section of the Millenial generation that grew up despising George W. Bush and "Red States" while seeing "Blue States" as cosmopolitan utopias - not unlike Bob. She's moved to California, and I doubt she has any real fondness for her home state.

to play devil advocate for lindsey their's a differance between not liking certain people and wanting them dead like Bob does.

 

[No Exit]

It's amazing the course Blob's life took after he accepted the nerd/jock thing as gospel. They live rent free in his head, constantly tormenting him daily and those people probably don't even remember who he is.

 

[EarthquakeMachine]

This is true. The problem with a democracy (or really any place with a plurality of people) is that you either A) convert them to your ideas, B) Leave each other alone or C) Jail or kill them. If Ellis and other Progs just wanted to fortify California as a paradise of progressive values and leave others alone that would be one thing, but they all pretty consistently have an imperialist streak that they don't acknowledge where they get really batty at the idea of someone out there in the hinterlands not agreeing with them; no doubt causing violence to some pet minority group. It's not enough that you can walk through New York, the most culturally important place since the hill where Christ was crucified, and see Drag Kids on billboards. They've got to go through the rust belt flipping over rocks to find bigotry and destroy it.

And of course they don't want to jail them, maintain destructive economic policies, mock epidemics of suicide or prescription drug use, etc. But their violence just made them do it. If only they agreed to mass availability of puberty blockers and open borders things could be different.

Ellis just won't admit that she has this imperialist tendency, like most Progs. The one thing Moviebob is honest with himself about is his desire to see his enemies driven before him. Ellis may not think she wants people dead, but if you could take her entire political worldview and shrink it down to a microcosm of a town and ask her "On willow street a cadre of white nationalists live. They're kinda' sketch but don't really bother anyone. What should we do?" and she had authority to do something, I have no doubt she would insist on doing something to fuck with them, at the very least. Progs can't just leave people alone.

Bob grew up in a generation that was told that being a geek or having geeky interests meant that you were smart, and that meant that one day you would be wealthy and powerful - the most common example of this was "Bill Gates was a nerd in high school, and look at him now!." What they didn't mention was that not only were people like Bill Gates actually smart, but they applied themselves and probably had more than a few sleepless nights with the risk of failure constantly hanging over their heads before earning their success. Bob and many others like them instead grew up believing they were destined for greatness, that their "geekiness" and thus "smartness" meant that they didn't actually have to work, but that success would land in their laps due their inherent nature of being smart and having interests in more "intellectual" pursuits, unlike those dumb high school jocks.

I actually doubt Bob was even a geek, because he hates Scream due to that one scene about surviving in a horror movie ruining his party trick. That doesn't sound like someone who was an outcast because he was tinkering with computers, playing D&D or always reading comics. It sounds like he spent his time trying to be liked by being the most informed person in the room and didn't realize he just came across as obnoxious and confrontational.

So, maybe he bought into the idea that the geeks would inherit the earth but not because he is one, it's just a convenient excuse to soothe his girthy ego.

Bob wasn't the kind of geek who played D&D or memorized the periodic table or even had above average grades. He was the kind of geek who did nothing but play video games, read comic books and watch cartoons and he assumed that made him smarter than the people who played football. I get the feeling that Bob was the kind of guy that the actual geeks went out of their way to avoid being associated with.

 

[iRON-mAn]

Kinda doubt he even did that. Any time he makes a video game, comic book or cartoon reference it's always the most shallow, common reference he could possibly make, just with some grandiose idea tacked on that he thinks makes him smart. There's always, without fail, at least three or four regular posters in this thread that can tell you how completely wrong he is every time he makes one of those references. So I don't actually know what he did growing up, because even the things he says he's passionate about, he has no real indepth knowledge of.

I never said he did any of those things well.

It's like everyone pointing out that there has been a Black Superman before with Calvin Ellis because they have easy access to that information on Wikipedia, but lack the context that he has appeared in less than 50 issues.

 

[blablabla]

Why would he advertise the fact he wastes money on store bought "artisanal" pasta, can't cook his own marinara and believes putting his ancient teflon pots in the dishwasher will make the PFOAs all the more delicious?

instead of wasting money on pre made meals the shitta should buy a stove like a regular non retard or non university student poor person

Surely, someone who's lived on the mean, crime-filled streets of Lynn, MA all his life has got to know how to handle himself! Just look at this dangerous, filth-ridden hive of villany:

From Wikipedia:

Lynn is the 9th largest municipality in Massachusetts[3] and the largest city in Essex County. Situated on the Atlantic Ocean, 3.7 miles (6.0 km) north of the Boston city line at Suffolk Downs, Lynn is part of Greater Boston's urban inner core.[4] Settled by Europeans in 1629, Lynn is the 5th oldest colonial settlement in the Commonwealth.[5] An early industrial center, Lynn was long colloquially referred to as the "City of Sin", owing to its historical reputation for crime and vice. Today, however, the city is known for its contemporary public art,[6][7][8][9] immigrant population, historic architecture, downtown cultural district, loft-style apartments, and public parks and open spaces,[10] which include the oceanfront Lynn Shore Reservation; the 2,200-acre, Frederick Law Olmsted-designed Lynn Woods Reservation; and the High Rock Tower Reservation. Lynn also is home to Lynn Heritage State Park,[11] the southernmost portion of the Essex Coastal Scenic Byway,[12] and the seaside, National Register-listed Diamond Historic District.[13]

Unless Bob was somehow alive in the 1920s when this place was being overrun by mobsters, he's completely full of shit about "living in a dangerous area" all his life.

I like this one.
It looks squiggly.

Only people as lazy as the Chipmans would think to shell out dozens of dollars for expensive foodie ingredents, then cook them up in fifty cent pots. There's nothing wrong with having cheap cookware if you're trying to be thrifty - I'm still holding onto a few pots with condition issues. But I would never think to put pictures of them in a flexpost about my higher end tastes in food and drink.

Edit: Fixed some formatting.

Go away for a weekend and Bob drops one of his sassiest Big Boy Biden tweets in a long time.

275? What a pathetic liar. If that's the case he has next to no muscle that would exist just to support his fat frame.

 

[blablabla]

the chipmans arent foodies they are two white trash retards ashamed of themselves.
what kind of inbred hick let chicken rot away on a fucking garbage bag

 

[Smithfield Ham]

He could even buy a hotplate and just use one burner if he knew how to fucking cook.

'Foodie' =/= low down glorified trailer trash ruining expensive foodstuffs.

Bob: I like chicken. I like Mountain Dew. Nobody's thought of putting these together before. I might be a genius.

Also Bob: I'd like to present my list of people who aren't classy enough to be on my planet.
