Unironically, Street Fighter. That scene where he says, “For you, the day Bison graced your village was one of the most important days of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday.”
I think about it a lot in dealing with other people. It was supposed to make him sound like even more of a jerk, but I actually think it’s a good commentary on what it’s like to deal with the public. Imagine being a doctor. Sometimes, you get to deliver good news. Sometimes bad. Sometimes you can do something, and sometimes you just can’t. If the doctor tried to care as much as the patients, they’d be emotionally destroyed in short order. For them, it HAS to just be a Tuesday.
Similar vibe, but I think about this scene/meme a lot as well.
Likewise, Don Draper is being an asshole in the scene. But, in reality most people don’t think about you.
They could say something that offended you. They are going to forget about it. So there is no need to be upset, chances are they forgot about it.
You could say something dumb or embarrassing. People are going to forget almost immediately.
I saw the Lord of the Rings as a teenager and now all I wanna do is sit around barefoot, smoke pipe and cook, eat and drink with friends. And everyone has to leave their bullshit at the door.
No wizards!
office space had some great eye opening lessons:
- you can say no to overtime
- some tasks are totally not important, and its insanely important to have a priority order, otherwise you go insane.
That movie was extremely cathartic to watch
flow is the best movie!
I mean, I absolutely agree. Was it life changing tho?
Training day made me realize I wanted to be a dirty cop
Thanks for sharing your story #inspirational
And smoke PCP. Not so keen on getting my shit pushed in, though
I saw Bladerunner as a teenager and it affected me so much I’m now a grown-ass man living in a cyberpunk dystopia. Follow your dreams.
I don’t know whether to laugh or cry
Replicant detected
Sometimes I laugh because it keeps me from crying.
Sidenote: I am often told that I laugh too much.
I’ve got a hint for you, look at their username. It’s sick as fuck.
I wish the d was capitalized but still awesome.
Beandog is a single word.
Touche salesman
Monologue internal narration to the audience.
The Matrix made me realise my whole reality was a lie and now I’m pro-Patriarchy, pro-Authoritarian and pro-conformity just like the characters.
I think people don’t realize you’re making fun of manosphere and alt right creators co opting the terms from the movies like red pill and others.
I think Flight Club is a better idea of the right people walking away with the wrong message.
Not a movie, but RATM is my favorite example of this. Or the Punisher.
Punisher badges on police equipment…
Exactly! Cypher is the only sensible person in that whole world. /s
All he wanted was a nice steak. What’s wrong with that?
Eventually getting flushed into the gutter when the human battery’s best before date passes?
Trump gives the vibes of a piece of shit steak-loving betrayer who wanted to be put back into the battery pod and be king who’s ass is kissed globally
He does make sense. What does it matter to you if you don’t realize it is all fake
But if I lose weight all the people who called me a retarded fatass my entire childhood win.
If you keep the weight they’ll be double right. If you lose the weight they’ll only be half right!
But have you avoided getting smarter too? If not, then they’ve already won.
Office space started me thinking about early retirement plans.
Yep that movie is depressing, especially that traffic scene, I go through that every day. Even the changing lanes part, too relatable.
I used to as well. Glad I can commute by train now.
I couldn’t even finish that movie and had to stop after about 30 min (not because it was bad, but just way too depressing lol)
I hated just about everyone in The Whale. Everyone who was enabling him was an accomplice to a murder, in my opinion. I also found the main character to be so revolting that I couldn’t muster much sympathy beyond my aforementioned blame towards his enablers.
I love challenging media, but that one had nearly nothing redeemable about it. I’d rather have a crack problem than a food problem after seeing that movie.
I wondering if I should just never see that movie. I know a whole household of co-enablers that I’m trying to distance myself from. Three people have died from being overweight so far since I’ve met them and a fourth collapsed and shit himself while at my place in what looked like a diabetic shock. He then had the nerve to criticize my home.
Then you’ve already lived the whole plot. There should be a way to report people like that so the court can put a restraining order on them.
Maybe I should make them watch it then. They’ll either fix themselves or stop talking to me. Win-Win.
Had the same thing happen to me with the movie Hereditary (although I later finished watching it, because of the praise it was getting). I thought “Yeah it’s good, but why would people watch this, why would they do this to themselves?”.
I never understood miseryporn and honestly MFW people are enjoying it:
Midsommar left me depressed for about a week, so I emotionally detached myself while watching Hereditary by playing on my phone lol. I totally skipped Beau is Afraid.
I’m gonna spoil something but literally at the end of Beau is Afraid, the audience just disconnects and leaves uncaringly at his misery.
Like that movie is a layer of meta meta meta commentary about the people watching his films and also the misery of existence itself. It’s not good but it’s definitely art.
Oof, not the best movies to watch after another.
That was also a movie I wanted to see, but after Hereditary I thought “nah, I’m good”. Probably won’t watch another Ari Aster film, ever.
That kind of sounds like a reason to go back and finish it
I honestly get where they were coming from. My “I couldn’t finish it because it made me too sad” was oyasumi punpun
I only finished the second of 13 total volumes and I wasn’t tearing up or anything, but I developed a sense of… dysphoric dread, I guess, from reading it
I mean I don’t really want to spend my free time feeling like absolute shit because I chose to watch a movie
I often eat my dinner while watching a movie.
This is not a movie I’d recommend for that.
Welcome to tthe NHK made me try to be more social. I’m still pretty anxious but it’s slowly getting y little better.
If Anon is anything like me, my advice for next steps would be to start learning about metabolic health.
Note how anon states they weigh the same, but they feel healthier. Being healthy isn’t about looking like a model, being healthy is about literally being healthy. You don’t need to do crazy ass workouts, chug protein mixes, and gain muscle like a TV star on steroids. You just need to get enough cardio in your day (or throughout the week) from chill/fun activities (biking, swimming, dancing) and have a balanced diet to do your body right. Don’t fucking starve yourself please, you look fine the way your are ♥️
Edit: Thought anon was at 220 and didn’t lose weight, sorry y’all damn. Also there are fat people who are fat not because of moral failing and eating McDonald’s all day, but because of serious health issues that are extremely hard to combat with dieting and exercise. RIP wanted to be positive.
I see what you were going for. ♥️
Hugs!
Being grossly overweight is deletorious to your health. Cardio or exercise will not change this, because weight loss is mostly driven by diet.
Its both. Calorie in. Calorie out. Any calories not used will be stored for later. Keep consuming more than used, than more and more gets stored. The problem with modern diets is food is very enegry dense and a lot of people dont live active lives. Our bodies have not adapted to such lifestyles. Its adapted to survive until the next hunt not the next doordash delivery.
Our bodies are not bomb calorimeters. Calorie intake and expenditure are not independent variables. The human body is more than a simple linear equation. Please, stop propagating these myths.
I mean, sure. Not every single calorie you consumed gets absorbed and expelled. Fiber has tons of calories, but our bodies cant digest it so its simply expelled. Its very naunce argument. Thats why i selectively said “enegry dense food” sugars and fats are easily broken down and absorbed. I was not intending you to interpret it as meaning if you eat a gram of uranium, that your body would suddenly gain 18 million calories.
Didn’t they lose a hundred pounds?
FUCK can’t read 😭🔫
It’s not too late, there are education programmes for adults. You can do it. 👍
That would be really encouraging if OP could read.
Even though you misread the comment as a fat fuck, I have to reply to you and say, fuck spreading whatever idea you are spreading.
Your comment reads like a delusional HAES cult members.
Being obese is objectively worse for your quality of life and your longevity, just because someone wants to better themselves doesn’t mean they do it to look like a model.
Your comment is objectively wrong, putting on muscle is by far the best way to increase your health and longevity, not doing cardio.

Wow, Anon sounds like quite the character – definitely a wild ride! It makes me think about how some things just need a good cleanup to make sense. On a totally different note, I just got some old family photos looking amazing thanks to photo restoration. It’s incredible what they can do!
Oh god are we getting bots on lemmy now
I wonder what this was
me too
no clue what that was, but i’ll upvote it for fun
🤨
