Can’t tell if this is worse or better than my shit. How much worse are flags compared to this, most of them are fallout related none of them are WW1 or 2 related though I do want a Ukrainian anarchist flag.
Username checkout
Fun fact I been using some variant of vaultdweller 13 as a username since I was 12 since I played NV fell in love and then played 1 and 2 and got an isometric rpg addiction. Sadly unlike other classic Fallout fans I am neither a Slavic millennial or trans so I have little to distract from the isometric rpg withdrawal symptoms.
I’ll bite. Clueless. What is the joke?
imo after a certain age, you should have better role models than thanos and joker
Not my cup of tea, but damn that just seems really judgemental.
Dating is all about being judgmental - you’re looking for someone that’s compatible with you. A lot of people find idolizing the Joker and Thanos not compatible with them.
Some more context (I dunno if Thanos really fits this, but all those words on his poster do…)
Approximately 6 yo
A gamer and a marvel fan? Get out as quickly as possible.
This comment came in at the same time as yours and answers your question lol
Does it though? What indicates gamer? I think it’s more about edginess and cringiness than marvel/gamer.
Oh ok, you’re purposefully being obtuse about this then lol
Yeah the implication is that it’s cringy.
What is wrong about gaming and marvel? I don’t really know much about marvel, gaming is surely such a wide thing how can that be a problem at all?
I married a man who likes Dragon Ball Z enough to have several of the mangas, so don’t get me wrong here. Some of this stuff doesn’t necessarily bother me personally, but there’s a certain reputation that fans of the Joker get and picking Thanos of all the Marvel characters is a choice.
Gaming is hit or miss - if someone is into gaming so much that all of their decorations are gaming related, it begs the question if they are willing to make enough time in their life for you around their hobby. And I say this as a gamer myself. It’s known to be a hobby that people dedicate a lot of time toward.
At least gamers have a hobby. I know a few people that just don’t have anything.
Oh I totally agree! I’m a gamer as well. It can be a deal breaker for some though. That’s all.
As much as I loved Heath Ledger’s Joker on screen, seeing it on anything else is so cringe. I know at least 2 people with Joker tattoos and they are exactly the kind of person you would assume.
Which is just extra ironic
The irony of the Joker next to that Thanos poster. That poster is everything the Joker tries to burn to the ground.
Don’t worry - those who ascribe to alpha/beta/sigma mentality don’t know what cognitive dissonance is.
I find it especially concerning that this guy seemingly just has a jacket on, over scrubs.
Dude is a nurse or doctor or surgeon or some kind of physical health specialist… is ok with the thanos snap.

What indicates gamer? The joker since he’s in some video games? He’s more of a symbol of going against establishment and the grain. Of course he takes it too far and is cray cray
It’s a meme.
Joker because balatro
Hey at least there’s posters on the wall and an attempt to make the space livable! And he offered her a cold drink!
I loved hanging out with the single bachelors in my slut phase, but good lord, most of those guys were very content with a single chair and a TV in their apartment and only those things.
It’s not that we were content, it’s simply what we could afford.
That’s the reality of late stage capitalism, it can take years until you can save enough money for the basics. I couldn’t afford a couch until I was 30! Until then I had to put up with lawn chairs and bean bags. My credit card limit was only $500 when I was young, and we didn’t have Affirm yet because it was the early 2010s; if I didn’t have the cash, I couldn’t buy it! So needless to say, decorations aren’t exactly the priority when you can’t even afford furniture!
It’s not that we were content, it’s simply what we could afford.
Nah, that’s not what I’m talking about. I’m not separate from these bachelors that I was seeing, I’m not independently wealthy because I kept more than 1 towel in my apartment, and I’m the same age as them.
These were deliberate choices to keep things very minimal without any thoughts to having guests over.
Have to admit, before I wanted a partner, I needed to build a proper “nest” to impress any potential mates. Got a home theater setup. All the right accoutrements and candles. Nice dishes, furniture, the works. I had designs to slay so much after I was done with the place. The only person I ever brought home ended up marrying me.
Before that? Mattress on the floor. One desk and chair for the computer. Didn’t even have a TV.
This is the advice men need to hear. Cleanliness and a hand towel go a long way, too. Also no one wants to fuck in a smelly apartment, clean your damn cat box.
A trashcan in the bathroom let me know my husband was the one.
What was in it?
19 years later, I don’t fuckin remember. He probably had emptied it and put in a clean bag before I came over, statistically!

It can be very practical to live like that when you’re on your own! I get it haha.

Damn, maybe you found your alternative career if the current one fails!
My mother filled my apartment with furniture and nice pictures. Made me look normal. I never understood why until my eventual wife came over and then moved in. The space is very important
My partner is rather autistic and part of that is not caring about how his surroundings look. Very practical person. He doesn’t understand why I like having our house decorated, but he does understand that it makes me happy and he likes when I’m happy. It works out nicely sometimes!
Sounds like you got free reign on decorating the house, win win
An unexpected, but pleasant surprise!
My ex had very strong opinions about how our house should look - strong enough to push all of my wants out of the way - so this is a nice soft place to be in the aftermath :)
I hate most Hollywood movies, especially super hero stuff.
But shouldn’t you judge people on who they are, rather than the shows/media they enjoy? He’s clearly been nice/fun enough for her to go back to his place… Maybe she needs to be less judgemental on the small stuff.
“You like media/stuff I don’t like” probably isn’t a good reason to get out of there. Plenty of shitty people have good taste, plenty of good people have bad or generic taste.
True. But also: Plenty of people with Red Flag personality traits/behaviours/tendencies/outspoken thoughts can be charming, smart, funny (other desirable qualities) within the first few days or even weeks. After which their ‘true colours’ are revealed. I think this is what this comic is trying to illustrate.
Edit to add: it’s not just about the media. It’s the villains that are represented and represent very specific ideals.
Fight. Gonna be a glass chin.
Are we sure there’s even gonna be a chin?
Maybe he could borrow him his chin? What do you think Ash?
Fuck. They’ve evolved a natural immunity where instead of a chin it’s a ski slope .
But that just turns a chin punch into a throat punch…not a very good defense mechanism.
Armored vehicle designers learned this decades ago
Punch them in the neck.
Almost bought a house from a guy but decided the prominently displayed oil painting of The Joker indicated he would not hesitate to fuck me over somehow.
Did he?
The fridge with nothing but beer and condiments is accurate.
Who is the gold statuette with the Krusty hair?
Artist is named KAWS. The artist is a contemporary artist that uses brand icons, like the Mickey Mouse looking statue on the desk. It’s all very cheap and empty art that I guess some people eat up. He basically just slaps the stupid skull on everything and calls it “art”. Tons of merchandising, very capitalistic.
Ah, so I’m guessing he’s an Alpha artist because he’s commercially successful despite being artistically bankrupt, and that’s appealing to the chuds?
Pretty much.
It’s a reference to the artist KAWS, and this specific Mickey Mouse with X instead of each eye, is called Companion.
Thanks!
I read the Wikipedia article and it doesn’t mention social politics or why a chud would be into KAWS.
Anyone?
I updated my response to you, but the artist is very notoriously apolitical and really has no message behind their art. Their art basically only exists to sell collectibles and merchandise while appearing trendy. It’s all empty capitalistic garbage.
Leave.
Fleeave
Flee, and if I get cut off fiiiiiight.
