What people don't understand about Taxi Driver is the even deeper loneliness that arises from having a social connection and then realizing they are such a vapid, worthless person that they are completely useless as a person to talk to. This is true isolation, an isolation that you still feel while surrounded by others.

I however am isolating myself because I'm worried about the coronavirus. They said it was just a flu, that it was only in China, but every day I hear of more and more cases, more and more deaths, it's spreading more and more in the US. The stock market is crashing HARD Some people are in denial but everyone else is waking up. It's getting worse and worse.

Have sex

Exactly. there isn't a worse feeling

And potentially catch the coronavirus? No thanks.

Indeed?

No, my dick is clean, real clean , like my conscience.

Okay, fair point.

>lonely, but everyone else is a faggot and I'm insecure

I'm going insane due to isolation but every time I try to hang out with people I can't stand the way they perceive reality and I actually end up feeling worse. there is no answer

WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU CROSS A MENTALLY ILL LONER

how do they perceive reality? I havent talked to a person in years so im curious

You gonna bust my chops??

extremely materialistic and judge everything based on social status and what people are "doing" with their lives (ie. menial jobs), obsession with being "busy" whatever the fuck that means, prone to compulsive gossiping about anyone and everyone they know, zero desire to go in depth on any topic or conversation, over use of quips and banter to avoid uncomfortable topics, inability to even remotely discuss topics that don't feature in the media

Everything here sounds exactly like Yas Forums these days. Has this site really fallen so far? Think about it, so many posters here, you try to discuss a movie and they just say "Cringe" about whatever you post. They create threads bragging about "doing something with their lives" and try to guilt people for having hobbies. And when they do want to talk it's just gossip about whatever stupid headline they read and reposted here. This site is full of these people and it's sickening.

yeah Yas Forums is at least 80% normalnigger these days

>Co-worker A: I watched Taxi Driver yesterday it's a great movie!
>Me: Yeah, it's one of my fav-
>Co-worker B: It's too boring and stupid
>Co-worker A: Yeah, it's not that good but it's old so understandable. Anyway user, what were you saying?
Why are normalfags like this?

You should’ve just said that you liked it and that you disagreed. You know you’re allowed to do that

>So Jay what did you think of Ready Player One?
>I thought it was a huge piece of shit. I'm so sick of nostalgia and references
>Really? Because I thought it was KINO. It felt like classic Spielberg
>Well I didn't HATE it...

I've never seen a good explanation for why he took her to see a porn movie. Also it looked really fucking weird for a porn movie.

/thread

kek

>Feel really content in my own company
>See my friends
>Feel lonely

>has friends
fuck off normalfag

>loneliness

It's a movie about urbanism above all. Solitude in a peaceful area is not a bad thing.

>well actually I'm the one who's lonely
LOL normies and their need to always one up people

u have ur own autism to blame. learn how to talk to people retard lol

sure just like sars, bird flu, swin flu, aids, h1n1, and ebola. gonna kill us all hahahaha

autism is caused by a measurable difference in brain regions from birth and is not attributed to personal responsibility and is untreatable

I doubt you're better, since you're likely not out there trying to improve yourself and fulfill your potential and make your life the best it could be.

pure unfiltered autism. Lack of social abilities, inability to perceive the absurdness of the act. He's detached from basic social normals. He probably wanted her to see something that made her horny but instead came off as repulsive

Lets than .01 percent of the Chinese population got it. Less than 1 percent of italians. It isn't a problem and it's basically a cold

>this whole thread

Good thread

It's not basically a cold. Young healthy people with a cold don't end up having to be intubated, which is unfortunately the case for a significant percentage of young healthy people suffering from covid.

Its still a big cold. Will end up killing 0.1% of the world population or so.
The biggest effect will be paralyzed international trade for a few months. At this point expect worldwide recession 2020. Even China isn't safe from a semester contraction for the first time since the 1970s, after decades of consistent 6%+ growth.

Every time I read about this virus I feel coughing and I don't know if it's hypochondria or if I'm seriously catching something. I hate it.

it's not black or white. People either want to accept death in the face of apocalypse or disregard this as a common cold. It's not that simple and also not as serious.

Most people understood Taxi Driver thanks

why is getting drunk something people even enjoy anymore?

>hey, you know what would be awesome? drinking until your senses are numb, have 2 hours of fun and then feel extremely tired and with headaches for the rest of the day. That is, if you don't throw up. Fantastic

No, it's not a big cold. It's not even remotely like the common cold. You might say it's a big flu, sure. But big means "a lot more lethal and more severe even when it's not lethal". Not the end of the world, definitely.
>Will end up killing 0.1% of the world population or so.
If response is adequate, sure, maybe even less, let's hope.

Exactly what happened last time i got shit-faced.

The biggest effect will be me on killing spree because my dumbshit government just changed yesterday's announcement that they will close borders on Friday midnight, and closed them right now effectivelly cutting off thousands of people who still traveled for today's shifts, like an absolute pack of cocksuckers, causing panic.

I wonder how to contact the FBI about a post.

Good thing the guy in charge knows what to do. This is what he just said in an interview about the situation.
>I just think this is something, Peter, that you can never really think is going to happen. You know, who -- I've heard all about, 'This could be...' -- you know, 'This could be a big deal,' from before it happened. You know, this -- something like this could happen.... Who would have thought? Look, how long ago is it? Six, seven, eight weeks ago -- who would have thought we would even be having the subject? ... You never really know when something like this is going to strike and what it's going to be.

Reminder that people think this is a genuine genius.

what the fuck are you talking about? You took a small piece of an interview with someone you don't even identify. And yes, nobody knows what the virus is for sure yet, new stuff is being discovered every day.

Please do. Maybe I can ask them if linear timeline is a concept that government officials have troubles grasping.
I called cops and border patrol department and neither of them knows what version is actually true.
Excellent job.

Shut up

nice rebutal

Imagine having this be your takeaway from the movie.
>then realizing they are such a vapid, worthless person that they are completely useless as a person to talk to
This wasn't the reason their relationship fell apart, it was because Travis was a train wreck of a human being who couldn't function or relate to other people in a natural way, which led to him taking her on a date to a fucking porno theater.

Autism. He goes to porn theatres because he thinks that's what people do. He doesn't even enjoy the movies, he does it to fit in

Martin Scorsese ripped off Joker.

He wants to sully Betsy's purity. Wasn't clear in the film, but the original script describes it that way. Also autism.

what's really annoying isn't that people don't have the ability to perceive reality on a greater level, but that they choose to communicate shallowly or stick with their small picture world views.

feeling absolutely miserable atm, but i always somehow feel even worse when im surrounded by other people. i feel invisible.

4channers for the most part are pseudo "real" in that they force being out of the box by just being a contrarian to everything. also they use stupid buzzwords like a bunch of mindless drones as if being a part of this site means they have to throw out their own way of communicating for fluency in Yas Forums speak. just another hivemind circlejerk not much different to reddit, yet reddit is somehow viewed with so much revulsion. not all though, i stay for the discussions that people can be autistically interested in participating with

People can never truly understand each other. To achieve true happiness you must learn to love yourself and enjoy loneliness.

>go to late night kino screenings
>sick of the degeneration on the streets
>obsessive about exercise routine
Am I Travis?
