Context?????
The bottom image is Grant Imahara. He was a great engineer and well known for his work on several major movie franchises, mythbusters, and BattleBots. He died relatively young and tragically from a brain aneurysm.
Edgy
Bro, Iβm fucking 40. Whoβs trying to be edgy here? I just donβt give a shit about a person on television that much.
Uh huh, you care so little you absolutely have to write several angry Internet comments. Very edgy indeed.
No, I just like entertaining idiots for a living, how are you doing, buddy? Am I making you happy?
For trolling you have to sprinkle in more indifference, you're still trying too hard and come of as someone with anger issues.
Waves and dances harder
Okay grandpa let's get you back to bed.
OK buddy sure thing but Grant Imahara was there to sell commercials. Your entertainment was an afterthought
Yeah, that's how the entire entertainment business works, great observation, but that was never the point of contention here.
You, angrily pissing on someones grave to feel morally superior to some Internet strangers is the point why I make fun of you.
I donβt feel morally superior to him. I feel morally superior to the people that keep on elevating him to some godlike status.
That's what I was saying and it is very sad.
You're that guy right now.
Caring about someone dying is not the same as elevating them to godhood. People on tv are still real people, and it's weird that you are so adamant about playing down the value of those lives.
The people on television are absolutely not real people. As soon they get any form of celebrity status, it elevates them to what we get here and nowβ¦ people randomly defending a commercial salesman while theyβre in some parasocial crisis
I hope that you someday understand how telling us what you think is sad and pathetic in this thread only reveals what makes you the same.
Miss me with your parasocial bullshit. Kill your heros
Are you normally this ornery?
You are an embarrassment to the 40yo community. Hereby we are throwing you out. Aye, brothers?
Is the community only the 40 year old ones, the ones from 31 to 40 or from 40 to 49?
It's only 40, and we are working on greenwich time to ensure on- and offboarding are standardized.
I find 40-year-old men that elevate a dead television celebrity fucking gross but you guys can have fun jerking each other off over him here all you want.
"Gross" is what 10 year olds say about broccoli
