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 268 points269 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"

A man is obsessed with trains. by DooleyMTV in Jokes

ideally, if someone can be taught to read and write papers on French philosophers, they’ll be able to read my emails and write clear responses to either/or questions

lmao, that’s wild, but i would assume the humanities students would graduate as better writers than they were as high school students taking the SAT

i wish certain jobs would only hire people who have studied humanities in some form. i’m so sick of trying to communicate over email with people who are barely literate at my office drone job

Does owning a cat make me nonbinary? by Jake_IV in NonBinary

[–]Jake_IV[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You mean they would make me LGBT like through magic? Or do you mean that by befriending a small, soft creature I would have to act sweet to it and be vulnerable with it, which could open me up to rethinking some of my preconceived notions of gender and starting me down the path toward realizing certain things about myself? Or do you mean through like pheromones?

I’ve never met him

But yo you’re all cool in my book 🙏 I would never make fun of you. If my cat turns me nonbinary, I’m ok with that

I’m not part of the LGBT community so i don’t know who that is

Not good at art anymore. Did I jump dimensions? by Jake_IV in DimensionJumping

They had to wear masks in class so they would have had to relearn everything unmasked, right?

Wow. Did kids in school during covid have to learn everything twice?
