He's like some docile zombie. May he be experiencing hell in this state of living death.
I hope he's miserable and in terrible pain. But I know that fucking over the dems would be his dying wish, no matter how morbid it went; hopefully they'll let him die now but seeing how underwater the GOP is in the senate I wouldn't hold my breath.
Unfortunately he probably has this puppetteering requested in his will just to have one last chance at fucking over Democrats. He's that much of a spiteful POS
yep
Thanks, I Hate It
Not sure I see the resemblance…
This gif legit freaks me out. That weird perma-smile is just so uncanny valley, it's creepy af.
The uncanny valley of likely a disease detection and avoidance system. In those pictures, he looks like he has significant brain damage. You're supposed to feel some revulsion, to keep you safe.
Yeah, I read at one point that that is exactly the evolutionary purpose of uncanny valley. So you steer clear of people who seem almost human, but not quite right. Since they were generally sick in some fashion, like you said.
I feel like they shape his mouth into a smile before going in public
Now you know how the rest of the world feels about USian mandatory smiles in every human interaction.
I enjoy smiling. I enjoy being happy.
Oh yeah, USians are so happy. I open Reddit and Lemmy every day and see feeds full of USians chirping about how their lives are packed with happiness.
uSiAnS
Stop trying so hard, it's so cringe
USian when they remembers what their country is called: “stop, it's cringe”.
We know you're lashing out because you're powerless, it's cute
CARRY ON brave warrior
Lashing out? I'm not the one whining endlessly every single day on Reddit and Lemmy about the same problems after having elected a mentally ill pedofascist twice. And then being told to smile at my job.
Weird definition of "mandatory" you have
Bro hates happiness 😭
““Happiness””
I got news, dude: all those waiters and clerks aren't happy to see you. They'll just be fired if they don't smile.
Buddy I’m sorry to say but I think they might just not be happy to see you. The local grocer loves me :3
I'm not in the US, so I don't have unreasonable expectations of customer service workers in the first place.
Gtfo with that noise. Intentional smiling is encouraged by zen teachers worldwide.
Also, show me one scene in ‘Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter... and Spring’ or ‘Why Has Bodhi-Dharma Left for the East?’ where anyone does ‘intentional smiling’.
Why are you so butthurt about cheeriness?
That’s the look of a man living life to the fullest
Living?
He probably thinks he's on a rollercoaster
if terry schiavo had a back brace she would look like this
Fuck, did they embalm him??
You alright there mitch? Give us the thumbs up
This Goa'uld needs a new host body
Indeed
I want a confirmed heartbeat on that, I've seen 60s Disney land animatronics with more liveness!
