What the hell happened to that man?

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 57 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Daddy didn't give affection, and the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear.

There was a song from Pearl Jam called Jeremy that had this line:

Daddy didn't give affection, no
And the boy was something that mommy wouldn't wear
King Jeremy the wicked
Oh, ruled his world

What they meant is that the mother neglected him because she didn't want to be seen in public with him.

I interpret this more like she neglected him bc she was only interested in dressing up.

It's a lyric from the song Jeremy by Pearl Jam.

I think you're right. Let's hope he doesn't speak in class today.

My theory is too much blow and huffing his own farts to the point where his brain has turned to mush.

Yeah. I mean, as an autistic man I can put myself in his shoes. People don’t really accept you and you always seem to say the wrong things or the right things at the wrong times. You want to be liked and accepted, so you accumulate wealth to try to have social standing and influence. But even as the richest man you still can’t really find your footing socially. It’s sad and I feel for the guy on some level.

🤔 Perhaps he needs people he can relate to and who understand he's autistic and so not to take any of his faux pas personally.

This is the challenge

Nothing. He was a scammer and an idiot who got lucky, and that is what he still is, only with more money.

He was fired for incompetence before, let that sink in

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

He has a sick, twisted piece of shit for a father and the apple doesn't fall far from the tree.
