I often feel pity for some when I walk virtually any modern Canadian city and see the psychically-squalid manifestations of modern material culture at work. I see people wearing their best poker faces, hiding the trembling and whimpering emotionally-starved infant deep inside. Eccentrics with loud fashion, feigning apathy yet really saying, subliminally, “Please notice me! I’m starving to death, am depressed and I’m freaking out! Look at how unique I am!’
I just can’t believe how utterly pitiful and dysfunctional virtually everyone has become. I foresee terrible times ahead for this twisted race of beings. —The Watcher

I put the Fun back in dysfunctional 🙂
Is this an MM bitch?
I think not, Jebus. Note the last line line where L. Ron Fucktard attempts to express some empathy for the underclass. Not MM’s M.O. at all.
Someday a real rain is going to come…
Intellectually starved maybe, emotionally starved not so much. But yes, in neither case do I feel much empathy for the underclass.
Maybe you’re the emotionally starved one, OB and the others you perceive as being this way are perfectly fine and perfectly happy? You sound pretty judgmental about others. You should take some time to work on yourself.
Who let the hipster sociologist out of its cage?
I’m guessing he sauntered apathetically to the centre of the maze, found the wedge of obscure Tibetan takin-milk cheese and was released as a reward.
Here’s something to consider,OB. The society that you “pity” is simply acting as a mirror for your inner turmoil. You can’t possibly know whether the people you are observing are miserable or ecstatically happy with their lives. You can’t possibly know how they feel about themselves. You can only be aware of your reaction to them. Maybe they dredge up feelings of inadequacy, personal failures or your own lack of social connection …. but instead of confronting those feeling you project them onto others …… specifically those who stand out or are noticeable due to their appearance.
Don’t you listen to Jerry Seinfeld OB? In the future everyone will have the silver jumper with a red v-stripe and boots, we’ll all look like part of the team. Individuality will be out. That seems to be your big complaint, people trying to differentiate themselves.
You know Sherlock is a fake show too right? You can’t infer that much from a glance at someone’s clothes. Most of the time, you will be wrong.
Okay there ‘The Watcher’ hahaha
And while you stand on the sidelines watching and judging, the world moves on without you.
We all have to get tattoos to fit in and express ourselves. Without tattoos we won’t be able to remember who we are.
