Black Panther (2018) dir. Ryan Coogler
When a villain is completely justified
Part of why I love Black Panther so much is that the villain isnât a cartoonish âbwa ha ha I shall destroy the planet!â character. He has a thought process you can follow and understand. Heâs human.
If iâm telling you, âthis is a hot plate.â But I make no effort to put it down, iâm internally yelling at you to move your shit. Your phone. Your keys. Your bread. Whatever is directly in front of you is from that point on is now classified as your shit. The shit you are suddenly responsibly for and I am burning my hands for. Move your shit. Iâm not going to move it for you.
Shoutout to the people who see me approaching with their food and immediately start clearing the way for me. You are the real MVPs. You know whatâs up. You understand.
As for everybody else. Move. Your. Shit.
We see that and we respect the fuck out of you. Thank you.
Hi, I am an actual boomer and I would like to meet with you so I can whap you upside your pointy little head.
catholics be like âdonât be horny kidsâ and then bombard you with images of half naked men tied up to thingsÂ
ur right and u should say it
LAST WEEK WE CAN USE THIS SOMEONE HIT THE PANIC BUTTON
I just got woken up, from a nightmare, by the train going by shaking my bed, to find that duolingo randomly sent me the first notification in over a year, please understand my state of mind right now
Talk about living his best life!
I recently saw a meme on Facebook that said something along the lines of âhow to make a millennial panic: lock them in a room with only a phone book and a rotary phone and write the instructions in cursive!â It had this smug âaha, gotchaâ vibe oozing out of it, and itâŚjust sort of made me laugh. Like, really? Really? But it also made me thinkâŚ
Beyond the fact that I know how to use both a phone book and a rotary phone and can read cursive (as long as itâs not too horrifically messy), I think it was the attitude of âOh no, weâve got you because you couldnât possibly figure out how to use something thatâs new to youâ that really made me snort. But I think thatâs the key to this and similar memes that Iâve seen.
They donât think we could figure out how to use something new to us, because they canât do it.Â
Like, if you presented a millennial with a rotary phone or a phone book and they had never, ever used one or seen one used before, I can guarantee pretty much any millennial could figure out how to use it. Because thatâs what we do: we adapt. Weâve been through so many variations of technology and seen so many new forms of technology emerge that weâve had to learn to adapt swiftly and fluidly. Itâs second nature to us.
Put a boomer in a room with a smartphone, laptop, and tablet however, and wellâŚdifferent story.
Iâm not sure if they literally donât understand that presenting a millennial with something they havenât encountered before would not be an obstacle and certainly not a panic-inducing one, or if they just say things like that to make themselves feel better that they couldnât do the equivalent, or if itâs a combination of the above.
I just realized that the original meme is also, quite accidentally, basically describing the principle behindâŚ.. escape rooms.
You know, the recent popular trend in participatory entertainment in which thousands of millennials literally go out and pay money to voluntarily be locked in a room where they have to solve puzzles under a time pressure, often using antiquated or analog technology, secret codes, and mechanisms they donât yet understand, all without using their phones/the internet. For fun.
For many of us, thatâs not panic-inducing, thatâs just our idea of an enjoyable Saturday night out with some friends!
Now Iâm just laughing even harder.
it gets better
Casey Frey was in a commercial for Just Dance 2015âŚ
This is like that scene in every horror movie where theyâre looking through old photographs and see the ghost/demon thatâs been haunting them in the background.
You know that picture of Justin Bieber where someone is thirsting after him and a person replies âyou can find three dudes who look exactly like this at any gas stationâ thatâs how I feel whenever any of you post about TimothĂŠe Chalamet except replace gas station with 100-level philosophy course
