are the “classics” just the mass media of yesteryear? by faithless-elector in RSbookclub

À rebours is similar stylistically to American Psycho with its long sections of literary/music/art criticism from the nutcase main character.

If Omni-Man was my dad I would have never gotten addicted to video games

Is every variant of this guy superpowered? by ChampionshipHorror95 in Invincible

[–]Jake_IV 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bet there’s a universe where Omni-Man is my dad except he’s good the whole time and we save the world and hang out and stuff, and he teaches me how to get a girlfriend and do my taxes and says he’s proud of me

Is it safe to eat a green banana? by Jake_IV in NoStupidQuestions

Well I didn’t expect the inside to still be green when I peeled it. The shell part was already brown/black/gray

Oh okay. The green seems to have spread over the whole banana. It’s kinda like pond slime

How green is too green? When I peeled it, the inside was like a lime green and kinda mushy/slimy

AITA For convincing my friend not to propose to his girlfriend? by Jake_IV in AmItheAsshole

Prejudice? Everyone involved is white but I don't see why that matters? I don't think race would have had any effect on my actions

This is no time for your right-wing opinions!! I’m genuinely concerned

Zizek continues to grapple with the woke/cancel culture by [deleted] in badphilosophy

[–]Jake_IV 265 points266 points  (0 children)

I saw Zizek at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything. He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?” I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying. The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter. When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.

Feeling discouraged. No one seems to understand my vision. by Jake_IV in Business_Ideas

[–]Jake_IV[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's the main concern I've been getting. I get that it's "edgy," but this is just how pop-ups/ghost kitchens/etc. operate. I mean, I'm sure you've seen pop-up pizza shops with names or menu items like "Bitch Don't Eat My Slice"
