Can we make a V.2 of this template? It’s funny, but I hate seeing Crowder’s ugly face and giving him free publicity with these memes.
There’s a Calvin one floating around
Yeah, but which one? The sign keeps changing!
That’s a good point. I feel weird using Calvin in ways not approved by Watterson anyway.
The guy in the picture is supposed to be an asshole, that’s part of the joke
I don’t think so, unless I’ve been misinterpreting these memes for years. I’ve always understood it to be like the Lisa Simpson one, where the text is just a stand-in for OP’s “controversial” opinion and wants to open up a discussion
It’s a pompous asshole egging people on to prove him wrong
It has a different tone from the Lisa one
People use it incorrectly most of the time though
I can confirm, you’re misinterpreting the memes. Originally it was acknowledging that they’re an asshole themselves that hold a technically correct but ultimately contrarian or socially disrupting opinion. They might be right, but they are still assholes who are antagonizing the public to derive personal entertainment from outrage at the cost of actually constructive dialogue. It’s the epitome of bad faith arguing. Most people fail to identify this nuance and use the meme format incorrectly, thus rendering its original meaning obsolete.
I would argue that this is part of how memes evolve just like language. The original context is largely lost and forgotten and with that the use of the format changes over time

You’re right, every single meme template is a race to the bottom. No matter how niche it starts it’ll inevitably become generic as it’s reposted over and over and over
Just cut yourself off from pop media. I literally have no idea who this guy is.
Wow what an incredibly helpful tip that wasn’t a weird flex at all
Do you have some kind of insecurity problem? Because that wasn’t a flex at all but you sure are showing weird insecurity. You obviously think people who don’t consume pop media are better than you or something… Because there’s no other reason to make a post like you did. And it’s really telling of your character. It’s like you’re mad because I’m not interested in pop culture… That’s so fucking weird. Who the fuck acts like that, lol.
Lmao I think this reply is the most telling thing about either of us. Your comment was an anecdote that doesn’t apply to the person you replied to.
“Can we stop posting this guy? I can’t stand him”
“Just reteoactively do what I did and stop being exposure to pop media”
Ok well seeing as that ship has sailed, it sounds like you just wanted to brag about not knowing him which is a weird thing to be proud of…
I laugh every time I see his face cause I just remember him running away from Sam Seder
“What a fucking nightmare,” then bails. What a coward.
Same, wish a photoshop expert would remove them from the image
Theres plenty, you can use them when you make your own memes
It also has a right wing douche sitting behind it.
I’m no fan of personality grouping and there’s certainly no genuine science to the Meyers-Briggs in the traditional sense, but that doesn’t mean it’s the same as astrology.
Astrology tries to offer insight into your future based on birth conditions.
Meyers-Briggs basically says that people who answer these questions a certain way tend to share certain personality traits or quirks. It’s been refined extensively over the years compared to where it started.
There’s nothing especially predictive about it and that’s where it becomes dangerous. The temptation is to use it to assume anything about human action and performance and businesses do this all the time. Just because an IFTP did this job well, doesn’t mean anything about any other IFTPs and their ability to function in the environment.
Human personality is complex and nuanced and trying to build tools to understand it is generally laudable, but the simpler the tool, the easier its abuse. Meyers-Briggs is better than a lot of other personality assessment tools, which are so simplistic they often just serve as a tool to create discussion. Meyers-Briggs, with its slightly more nuanced take, creates the illusion of science with the ability to predict.
Meyers-Briggs honestly entirely misunderstands introversion and completely misses how introverted people just have a social battery that recharges differently from extraverts and social butterflies. This fact alone makes it hard to trust any other conclusion one can reach from a Meyers-Briggs test
Introversion in MBTI doesn’t mean the same thing as it does in normal usage. It refers to the orientation of your sense data, your information processing, your intuition, or your emotions.
My company has new hires take it after getting the job as a fun way to show other people your style of working/learning/communicating.
I think that’s a better use
I would… But as an ENFJ I’m not fond of conflict… Jk it’s all trash.
I thought it was astrology for autistic people
Yeah it’s also why I can’t land jobs.
My wife was applying for an admin assistant job once and complained that she was 30 questions in and the questions kept coming. I took one look and said “oh thats a personality quiz” she closed the tab right then and there.
What sort of screwed up jobs are you trying to get?
Haha it was actually for a serving job at 99 Restaurant.
Don’t work in the service industry. Sex work pays better and is less demeaning.
Actually a 200 iq comment as his mind has quite literally been changed multiple times according to the internet.
What a nice jung lad enjoing the spirit of debate …
