They are trying to reverse psychology it so you don't read. See the moron holding it up. It's to make fun of it. Every time it is shown in pop culture its to keep you away from it because it holds so much truth about modern society that the plebs are ignorant of
It’s always been portrayed as being read by some hecking smart characters though!
It's always so fricking funny when people try to use "nerds" as strawmen. Like bro you're just telling us that the opposition is smarter than you lol.
Being smart is not everything anon. Social skills will take you further in life.
that's cope af. Social skills are pretty simple to obtain. What really takes you far is being willing to screw over people without feeling guilty.
OK I didn't realise I was talking to a master manipulator. Cheers, hope that works out for you.
I never said I had that skill. I'm saying that that's what gives you the most success in life.
the negative nerd stereotypes have to deal with ones pride in their own abilities and interests seperating themselves from social dynamics. If you cant see why the point they made in the 50's and 60's applies, you came to the right place.
What show is this?
What cartoon is this?
The Middle
American dad
That guy looks like that banjo moron guy from Deliverance
It was a fairly massive influence especially on the up and coming TV and film writers, we really see that influence in those turn of the century dramas which dumped the episodic format built around action at the workplace with the characters lives largely being a way to explain why the performed their job poorly or snapped at a coworker, essentially set dressing. The lives of the characters became more important and central, theme is not just a side effect of plot and humor ceases being something only for comedies. IJ taught TV how to deal with life and how to use theme in a more natural way and that influence is still present. Six Feet Under is probably the prime example, IJ's influence is all over the show.
>Six Feet Under is probably the prime example, IJ's influence is all over the show
Name one example
Brenda is a pot addicted caretaker of her damaged brother, as a child effortlessly succeeded at everything and manipulated her therapists. The main characters all come right from IJ, shift some things around a bit but it is all there.
moron
this is going to Russell!
Russell?
They probably want you to buy the book.
For the same reasons it is a meme on this very board, anon
Base Brick.
because unruly contrarian teenage discord mods wield disgusting amounts of influence on propaganda dissemination platforms like tiktok and they frequent shitholes like IQfy so naturally le heckin' IQfy counterculture gets called to the front of the class
So true
issa good book mane
I want to know how DFW got those scars.
Why did they make a chud joker
Because Todd Phillips was denied another Hangover instalment.
DAMAGED
It's a meme book. The title is pretentious enough to sound funny in the right context.
>the title
No one tell him...
We know where it came from. The have been countless threads on this book.
>We know where it came from. The have been countless threads on this book.
You could maybe just recognise the line by virtue of not being illiterate, too. You can simply stop using "threads" as the cultural framework for you to know about literature, but I doubt you have the intellectual capacity to read and think on your own.
Because midwits love it
>can't even finish your final novel because your brain died from years of alcohol abuse and television
>augment brain damage with anti-depressants
>commit seppuku
>get portrayed by some shitty sitcom actor, jason segel
It was of his own undoing. He now languishes in the fiery realms of Nakara, for many aeons, to be reincarnated to suffer.
most tv writers are harvard graduates. most harvard graduates are pseuds. most pseuds like infinite jest.
>most tv writers are harvard graduates.
Maybe if you only watch Amerislop.
>most harvard graduates are pseuds.
How do I know you aren't a pseud? Do you know anyone at Harvard?
>most pseuds like infinite jest.
Yeah but you can avoid most Infinite Jest fanboy pseuds by simply avoiding Amerislop culture. He has no influence except on affected millennial white Americans.
It's basically the same as moby dick, a visual shorthand for stereotypically big thick book nobody has read
what does David think of comic books/graphic novels?
David doesnt think anything because hes burning in hell
I have a better question: why should you trust anything pop culture promotes?
"
The pseuds that were reading this book AND the roasties that hate the aforementioned pseuds all have writing gigs.
I'm I the only person who watched The Middle?
Yes
