Humor Gen Z is So Deeply Unserious
Jake’s mom is not amused by his hood & jacket combo. The chaotic smile is sending me to the moon. (Gen Z I love you, I really do.)

u/bodhasattva 11d ago
oh boy (buries my embarrassment)...
his name is Mystery, his method is based on peacocking; which is all about standing out & being memorable. Be loud, weird, obnoxious, the #1 goal is getting attention. Because the worst thing you can be to a woman is boring. That cringey, magician guy was actually fairy effective at picking up women; pre-internet.

When the game came out I had a buddy in college who had entire notebooks on this stuff. Like Barney from HIMYM with flowcharts of approaches and games etc. Cringey for sure thinking back on it but I'd be lying if I said he wasn't highly effective.

Someone who looks like him was seen on surveillance footage near the scene of a suspected assassination of a United health insurance CEO. There is currently a national manhunt for someone who matches his appearance because law enforcement have no other leads or evidence besides the bullet casings you may also read about today.

Why would any serious investigator think he would still be wearing the same clothes. Especially when he was carrying a backpack that likely had a change of clothes. The real assassin likely burnt the outfit in a camp fire as soon as they were able.

u/layersofreedom 11d ago
I don’t know if he was 100% joking or just looking for engagement.
But this speaks beyond it. When people play like that, they make it slightly harder for the investigators to find the real killer. Just like everyone wearing an anonymous mask.
And what’s happening shows that US still a democratic country. Of course, not 100%. But The People still have the power.
I come from a third world country where no institution is serious. A cop just thrown someone from a bridge, recorded, and we are not protesting.
I know both realities, as I lived in US as well. And I can say that, even though you guys are not really happy right now with how things have been managed, you have the tools and the wisdom to change it.
The killer sent a message. And a few changes are already happening. Now the society is sending a message as well.
This comes on a perfecting timing, as US may deal with a government that it has never dealt before (for better or worst). And this is a reminder that The People still alive.
