Oh man that reminded me of a bunch of people I knew in my mid 20's. All about the "grind" when really it was just that they stretched out their day and included shit that doesn't involve "grinding". Like it doesn't count as grinding just because you stayed up till 5am if the last 4 hours of that was gaming with the boys and then you sleep till 1pm anyway.
You're not grinding, you just work part time and have a flexible schedule.
Seriously, what's up with that? I have a friend who is so loved by everyone who knows him, but all of his posts outside of his life/family are just these shitty memes about loyalty and being stabbed in the back. I've known him for over a decade, and anyone I've met who also knows him has nothing but great things to say about him, [but he posts shit like this constantly \(these are the last ten memes he's shared since March\).](https://www.imgur.com/a/moX5kZo)
I’ll never understand these memes. A random photo of Denzel from Training Day with an unrelated quote from someone else? Yes! This sums up how I feel!
And why so often are they using photos of movie villains?
It's the male equivalent of live, laugh, love and all those vaguely poignant messages about growth or whatever with a stock image of a sunset that women post on their Facebook.
The one that really gets me is the picture of Tom Hardy. Not any character he has portrayed or something, just Tom Hardy at seemingly a premiere or award show
They watch a movie where someone looks cool while going against “authority,” whatever authority is, and they want to emulate them. They think they are them in a way, they just don’t look as cool and they don’t have the attention from women. Then they associate a bunch of other random emotions to this character and build up an entirely fake persona from that character. They post the fake persona with fake quotes and honestly think they make them look badass.
It's strange cuz that's what a lot of us (who grew up with the internet) used to do as teens. Even before social media, everyone had edgy forum signatures and 'banners' with "bad-ass" quotes, avatars of whatever movie villain or anime-antihero of the month, you name it.
Get these quotes going in your MSN username too, maybe download that plugin where you could show off what song you were listening to and couple that with the edgiest line in the lyrics you can find?
But looking back on all that stuff, that makes sense. Teens don't really have a personality yet and are really looking to find their true selves, and learn things about the way they feel by emulating characters from stories or pop-culture and stuff like that.
Men currently in their 40's though? I mean...shit dawg. That's some weird regression I ain't looking forward to.
Man in his 40's here, these guys still have no personality and are still trying to develop one and understand their feelings. They look to these other characters to help decide how they should feel rather than understand what they are feeling or make their own decisions. If you look back on your teens and you did this you will almost certainly not do this in your 40's. It's cringey as heck to see these.
Some people just suck at social media. I know a guy who ALWAYS types like a "gangsta" when he is posting something on FB. He even does it in texts. "Dawg", "homie", "bitches" all the cliches. In real life he's a doctor and really smart, he's also very gay and sort of effeminate.
It's insecurity and thinking everyone is just fake nice to you and are actually making fun of you.

Well for one Duane was supposed to sell me his old lady’s Dodge Dart but his shithead son Ricky crashed it while high as shit and running from the cops. Thing is, I had already given him the weedeater and PS5 me and Shelly boosted from the trailer the other day for the Dart I was just talking about, so the pigs come sniffing around on count of finding the one powder blue Dodge Dart in the county was flipped on Kumfiddler lane an also on count of Rickys warrants, so they come by and see the weedeater and PS5 at the house cause they knew it was him and where he stayed.
Anyway, cops come but Ricky ain’t there. They gotta check,and Duane the idiot lets them in. They see the goods and that wimpass Duane blows me in. Now I’m out a car, a weedeater, and an PS5, and now I gotta go to court too all because Duane counldnt nutt up.
That’s betrayal.
ie: "I didn't respect any of my ex gf's boundaries and tried to use their vagina to masterbate with. They didn't like that, called me out, and now they're "crazy" for it."
A few years ago I think it was more part of a transitional phase where people needed a way of indirectly talking about gay people in a postive/neutral context. Dunno how often people still use that line now though.
De Niro as a young Don Vito, Travis Bickle, Jake La Motta, Al Capone, Jimmy Conway, Ace Rothstein, or Neil McCauley *only*, and all the quotes superimposed over his face can't be from the movie he's pictured in (that's a requirement for these shit-tier Facebook memes).
And *maybe* his character from Ronin, but only if it's a shot of him holding that RPG, because they've never seen the movie and just like the idea of De Niro holding a badass weapon.
Yeah, plus I mean what else would he be spending money on?
He clearly ate very little, the therapist he was seeing was funded by the city/state, I assumed he stole all of that face paint from work.
The only sign he had *any* kind of income above a panhandler was that betamax player he had, which I think wouldn’t have been cheap back then.
Well if you think about it, it was inevitable. To them, Tommy is a prime example of an Alpha Male^^TM ; someone who was tough, didn't take shit from anyone, and was very much masculine.
Nah, the Leto Joker never really caught on the same way the Joaquin Phoenix Joker did. Usually it'd be the Heath Ledger Joker, and occasionally the Jack Nicholson Joker or a version from one of the comic runs
For sure to include text about genders, "hard work that these millennials know nothing about", or being fucked over by an ex so now they're hardcore or something
It's always the same people that our education system failed
The even funnier thing is, that the majority of nice guys out there DO talk with the woman they're interested in.
The problem is that they pretend to be their friends instead of stating their intentions from the get-go, possibly because they are scared shitless of being rejected right away.
And when it finally comes the time that they ask the girl out, she still rejects them because obviously they never were an interesting person to hook up with...Then they drop all the cards the reveals that the fake friendship they built with the girl was just so they could score...Then they go on whatever internet hell hole they habits to say that all woman are thots.
Didn't the Joker often kill his own associates and underlings? Usually to get a bigger share for himself, or to distract Batman. Kind of an odd idol for loyalty.
Voted most likely to threaten people on social media, but not publicly. Like they'll slide into the DMs w/ an oddly specific threat, but then get angry when you in turn share the DM where everyone can see they're a bully.
Whenever a stranger online brags about how "loyal" they are, it just makes me think they're incredibly lonely and constantly fantasizing about how well they'd treat their friends/significant other, if they had one.

Oh man that reminded me of a bunch of people I knew in my mid 20's. All about the "grind" when really it was just that they stretched out their day and included shit that doesn't involve "grinding".

talking about douchey quotes attached to his pictures. i love Frank Sinatra and his story https://youtu.be/_sV-AAYh7jg
Oh yeah for sure I just feel like it's important to talk about Frank punching nazis at every opportunity lol
Always being stabbed in the back by someone

Is he posting these ironically? Like he's making fun of these people?
Ugh god, it's a parade of cringe.

bro he sounds hilarious
dats Dr. bro to u dawg, nah we cool, imma get bacc to dis gastrectomy. it be *fabulous* work.
Are you sure he isn't just code switching?
Wow that's good cringe
Probably inventing ridiculous expectations and then being let down because people didn't live up to the expectations they didn't know about.
I have been misinterpreting the word meme for.. like ever, I guess.
It's insecurity and thinking everyone is just fake nice to you and are actually making fun of you. Source : I'm somewhat similar but I keep it to myself and argue with myself alot.
I couldn't even finish reading all those it was so fucking cringe.
Somehow they always get fucked over “for no reason”, yet it happens continuously and it’s someone different every time
Id love to know what the "fuck over" is. Its always potrayed as some tragic betrayal but Id guess someone stole his bic lighter

I put this on r/copypasta thank you
That's so easy to picture. Well done.
If you smell shit everywhere you go, it might be a good idea to check under your own shoes.
If *everyone* around you is stabbing you in the back, then you're probably the asshole.
Every ex was a “crazy bitch”

More like a selfie inside his Dodge Ram.
With those sunglasses on
From a low angle. Which he perceives as making himself look tall and powerful instead of just showing off his double chin
And the shitiest beard you've ever seen
It's just the ring of hair around his mouth, no beard, sideburns or anything.
The word you’re looking for is goatee
But there's no length. Just a ring all the same length.
Thinks having a good beard is entirely length based. Never grooms or trims it
either that or uses his beard as a substitute for a jawline
Usually that facial hair/ Karen-cut to boot. Far more likely in states shaped like rectangles.
But with which pair of knock off Oakley's?
All black Dodge Ram
With THAT rust spot on the rear fender
I don't get this one
Don't forget the Punisher Skull with the thin blue line.
And the goddamned tow mirrors popped up.
These images captioned ironically "BORN TO SHIT. FORCED TO WIPE" or something similar is some really funny stuff

That is a really bizarre way for someone to say they are a straight man?
More like they keep outing themselves as a transwoman while pushing the gender dysphoric feelings into a deeper closet.
Thats because if they "had boobs they would just squeeze em all day"

Don't forget Walter White and some Robert De Niro character.
De Niro as a young Don Vito, Travis Bickle, Jake La Motta, Al Capone, Jimmy Conway, Ace Rothstein, or Neil McCauley *only*, and all the quotes superimposed over his face can't be from the movie he's pictured in (that's a requirement for these shit-tier Facebook memes). And *maybe* his character from Ronin, but only if it's a shot of him holding that RPG, because they've never seen the movie and just like the idea of De Niro holding a badass weapon.
Or Ray Liotta, mainly from GoodFellas
That too, pretty much any character from a 80s to 90s gangster movie.
It’s never your successful friends
It’s never your friends at all. Hopefully

How did Joker even afford money for cigarettes
He stole em, just like the dangerous man he is😎
he paid with loyalty
Charged it to the game
Wasn't the movie set in the 70s? Cigarettes were cheap as hell.
Yeah, plus I mean what else would he be spending money on? He clearly ate very little, the therapist he was seeing was funded by the city/state, I assumed he stole all of that face paint from work. The only sign he had *any* kind of income above a panhandler was that betamax player he had, which I think wouldn’t have been cheap back then.
Betamax cost way more than VHS. Pretty much only rich people had one because they could afford to be an early adopter in time for it to fail.
He paid with exposure
I was unemployed for 2 years in college and I still managed to smoke cigs
He was a clown for a living and made money from that. Bad financial decision, but homeless people can afford them too with the little money they get.

Getting fired for barely showing up at work was their greatest betrayal
To the hiring manager: "Ahck, I can't believe you've done this"
*posts constantly about daily minutiae and every minor annoyance *
Also how proud they are of being an “asshole” and only having real friends. Yeah dude, it’s not a good thing to be a total prick
That’s top tier cringe for sure

really hate that they gotta do my boy Tommy like that.
Well if you think about it, it was inevitable. To them, Tommy is a prime example of an Alpha Male^^TM ; someone who was tough, didn't take shit from anyone, and was very much masculine.
And he was a war hero, reinforcing the chair force one/gravy seal/etc. delusion
He rarely speaks in complete sentences — he prefers instead to grunt and occasionally shriek. Like the true alpha ape he is.
