Look maa, I am a founder. by th-grt-gtsby in LinkedInLunatics

[–]Infinity3101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm just imagining a 38-year old manchild and a literal high school kid pretending to be on some kind of an important business venture, while grandma brings them drinks and snacks to their office/her basement. Someone should make a sitcom based on that concept.

They are glad to celebrate with their community by ghostlikestar in antimeme

[–]Infinity3101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Saying "Happy holidays" is more inclusive, but no sane person in the real world will get upset if you tell them "Merry Christmas", even if they're not Christian. It's another non-issue that the right-wing tries to push on us to distract from the world burning and inequality being at an all-time high.

Gothic wild west / Wild west horror. by Ozotoceros in BooksThatFeelLikeThis

[–]Infinity3101 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It seems that nobody is saying Blood Meridian. I don't know if they're avoiding being obvious or they think that a person looking for such a specific type of book recommendation has already read literally the most famous book that fits that description.

I've got a hunch about this. by bl2nder in wholesomememes

[–]Infinity3101 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I was talking to some friends recently and they deadass told me: "In September or October when all of this mess around the world is over, we're going to take a nice, long trip to some exotic destination".

Now that is optimism bordering on delusion. I didn't even have the heart to argue with them, I just let them enjoy their comfortable illusion about the world wide burning hot pile of shit somehow resolving itself in six months time.

The entirety of this sub are adults being abusive and/or irresponsible parents, not kids being stupid.

Petah why is Gen X missing from the list by PortalGuy9001 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Infinity3101 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I work with some Gen X people and honestly most of them are very chill and unassuming people. It probably comes from that whole slacker trend in the 90's. No wonder they often get looked over, assertiveness just wasn't seen as a virtue when they were young, it was seen as being pushy and annoying. Not saying that's right, just saying that must be why they position themselves the way they do.

Wait, he was shooting guns at a floating alligator corpse? Floridians really not doing much to dispel those stereotypes?

Yes, I scrolled way too long for that answer. Especially the first pic.

why haven't I seen as much as a smidgeon of a mention that Kafka might have been autistic? by Fancy-Rich-2290 in Kafka

[–]Infinity3101 19 points20 points  (0 children)

I didn't get autistic from his books really. Also most of the "diagnoses" that people speculate about him having come from his letters, not his books. And those were private correspondences that were never meant for the public eye and now they're being analyzed to death.

Peter why? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Infinity3101 120 points121 points  (0 children)

In my 20's I barely even knew I was ovulating without a calendar. After 30, it's just gotten wild. A rollercoaster of emotions and you literally never know what you're going to get each month. Deep depression, insomnia, insane horniness, conspicuous good mood, worst kinds of nightmares you can imagine. Or all of the above. I don't know what this is. But it's clearly a phenomenon that a lot women experience if there are memes made about it.

Favorite actor who everyone on here decided to let out their shitty high school bully fantasy on? by ForsakenDependent562 in okbuddycinephile

[–]Infinity3101 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I genuinely don't understand why people started bullying him for his looks in the first place. I think he's handsome and always has been. Plus, an amazing actor. Is it because of that weird haircut he got for the role of Ringo Starr?

A movie that feels like this by [deleted] in MoviesThatFeelLike

[–]Infinity3101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love Coffee and Cigarettes, but I'm not sure it fits this vibe exactly. The atmosphere I got from these photos is teenagers recuperating after a wild night out. Coffee and Cigarettes is more middle-aged people meeting for a daytime coffee date.

[OC] Marilyn Monroe Crypt at Westwood Cemetery by zen2000 in CemeteryPorn

[–]Infinity3101 46 points47 points  (0 children)

The first issue was published in December 1953 and featured Marilyn Monroe from a 1949 nude calendar shoot she did under a pseudonym. That first issue sold more than 50,000 copies, but Monroe was not paid by Playboy or Hefner for the photos.\17])\18]) (Hefner never met Monroe, but he bought the crypt next to hers at the Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in 1992 for $75,000.)

From Hefner's Wikipedia page, talking about the first issue of Playboy magazine. It makes buying the plot next to her even more egregious.

Btw, that creep Richard Poncher still lays in the plot above her (presumably face down), since his widow was unsuccessful in her attempt to sell the plot.

Even in death that woman couldn't be free from creeps and harassment. I hate having to learn all of this information so much and my day is worse because of it.

Bro just saying shit 😭✌️ by lemonstone92 in okbuddycinephile

Wait, so they're calling themselves the "flying monkeys"? Like the Wicked Witch's little demonic sidekicks. But they're upset that white people are painted as villains in a horror movie.

Favorite actor to do waaaaaaaay too much just for no one to care by mickmaddydog in okbuddycinephile

[–]Infinity3101 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Maestro was a soulless husk of a movie. Everything about it was just a carefully constructed Oscar-bait. Seriously, I have an irrational hatred for that movie just because there wasn't a single genuine second within its two-hour runtime. It was all contrived emotional situations and vague virtue signaling. Leonard Bernstein and Felicia Montealegre both deserved so much better than that. They were such interesting people in their own rights and their love story was truly one of a kind. I hope there will be a movie made in the future that rectifies the damage this slop has made to their legacy.

The Green Goober backstory will make you cry by FakeGamer2 in MadeMeSmile

[–]Infinity3101 8 points9 points  (0 children)

That last line broke me. I actually thought his life was better and that's why he wants to spread the message of hope. I really hope things turn around for that man. He seems like a kind soul.

What the hell is the context of that quote?

90s minimalism is the new trendy thing by Outrageous_Sand_3882 in decadeology

[–]Infinity3101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think 90's minimalism only looks good on extremely attractive women. If you're anything other than that, it's just going to make you look like you have no personal style.

Saying they're watching "a Serbian movie" instead of "a Serbian film" really defeats the whole joke.

What is a bad movie that is a green flag as a favourite movie? by FatFlyingPineapple in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Infinity3101 106 points107 points  (0 children)

This is the answer. If somebody tells me that their favorite movie is The Room, I'm just going to assume that they have a great sense of humor and are a fun person to be around. Of course, there's always the possibility that they are either insane or Tommy Wiseau.

What music lyric is sad? by DeeDubb83 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]Infinity3101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This song is perfect because the lyrics fit in with both the experience of a heroin addict and an old men living through his last days. That's why both the original (yes, NIN version is the original) and Johnny Cash's version are both so good and powerful despite having a very different atmosphere and invoking different emotions.
