“Oh look at this guy reading a BOOK at the cafe, he must think he’s sooooo cool! I get he thinks a woman will sleep with him cuz he’s so smart and cultured.”
Or maybe my roommate is having their partner over and they kicked me out and I’d rather do this than just be on my fucking phone for two hours?
Did… did someone actually say this to you?
It reads like something made up, sorry if this is mean but i get got by obvious bits sometimes
Nobody has ever confronted me in public but I see posts all the time on the internet complaining about “pretentious hipsters reading Pynchon on the subway”.
Yeah ignore those posts. Most people don’t care. Internet comments would have you believe being 6’2 is short and making 150k USD a year makes you borderline homeless.
Well with the way the housing market is going…
funkyfrogbait did some video talking about this trend, made some comparison with the same energy of the pumpkin spice latte hate a decade or so earlier. i thought the comparison was apt in irl relevance.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Posts aren’t real. Like the person who posts that shit probably just imagined a hipster reading shit in a cafe and then complained about it. We need to go back to presuming that everything people say on the internet is a pathetic lie until proven otherwise
I don’t believe you!
I’ve been judged for reading a book in public instead of scrolling in the last couple of months. 🤷
Things are going well in the world…
It gets better!
“Just go on FB and…”
“I don’t have FB.”
“Why not?! 😲 😠”
Yeah not having socials makes people think I’m a dangerous person
