  • I definitely wasn’t commenting on Reddit yesterday lol. Refugee here.

    I’m not going to call Rubber one of the best undiscovered indie flicks out there, but is IS an experience every movie fan should have. The storytelling is unlike any movie you’ve seen. The fact that you understand the emotional motivation of a friggin car tire is unreal.














  • I really think it’s a cultural thing. It would be like me(an American) saying “how can I be more Japanese?”

    To put a finer point on it, Americans have grown up in a culture where self expression and social interaction is encouraged. So we are less afraid of approaching a stranger for casual conversation. Add to that the fact that we, culturally, have very low self awareness. All we know is what offends other Americans. We rarely have the social intelligence to modify our behavior to match our surroundings.

    So while, yes, Germans may be more reserved by nature; don’t think that is a value judgement. If you want to be more outgoing do it in a German way. Americans are the way we are because we are Americans.

    That said, if I could offer a suggestion to mitigate your social anxiety; I would suggest that other people don’t think about you and your behavior anywhere near as much as you think they do. Most people don’t give a shit. If you can’t think of anything to say but you want to start a conversation a compliment is always a winning strategy. But nothing is a substitute for genuine curiosity.







  • Imterdimensional crime boss, day 1. Two of yourself means you have a rock solid alibi at all times. How could I have possibly committed a crime while I’m at the DMV renewing my license? Even if I’m caught on camera I dgaf. He ain’t me. Don’t need to run from the cops if you can portal to a different universe. All you need to do is to figure out one good crime and repeat for literal infinite profit.
