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.

Mad Men: I feel bad for you. I don't think about you at all.

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.

But if I lose weight all the people who called me a retarded fatass my entire childhood win.

But have you avoided getting smarter too? If not, then they've already won.

If you keep the weight they'll be double right. If you lose the weight they'll only be half right!

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!

Training day made me realize I wanted to be a dirty cop

And smoke PCP. Not so keen on getting my shit pushed in, though

Welcome to tthe NHK made me try to be more social. I'm still pretty anxious but it's slowly getting y little better.

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

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.

Exactly! Cypher is the only sensible person in that whole world. /s

He does make sense. What does it matter to you if you don't realize it is all fake

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

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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

Not a movie, but RATM is my favorite example of this. Or the Punisher.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 hours ago

Punisher badges on police equipment.....
