((As per the mods, here's what can be found on Jim's registry, generally.))

Alone and drunk sounds far more enjoyable than being anywhere near someone like Jim.

He may want nice gifts, but that doesn't mean he was successful... He's lying to make himself feel better.

[eyestitch]

haha, now you're onto something! especially if you have someone to come over and see your underwear 😜

would you call it a 'janet rejected me' registry then? i don't think he'd use some of those newlywed things... 🤔 golly, what if he's trying to get some of those things just to flip them on craigslist?

[godcards]

That defeats the purpose of being alone.

'Janet rejected me' sounds more accurate... There's nothing to convince me he isn't trying to delude himself and others into thinking his proposal was successful. Even if he ultimately didn't get what he wanted, he's still using that to get gifts... Which, yes, he can resell whatever he doesn't like and keep everything else for himself. It's still a win.

[eyestitch]

we're always alone, buddy! even when we're surrounded!

well, which is it, anyway? if he's using his rejection to get gifts, than he's self aware! but if he's really trying to convince himself it was a success, then he's screwy! really looney toons!

[godcards]

Wow, it's impressive that you're about as philosophical as a middle schooler.

He can be both. He's that kind of underhanded. He may be aware that he's rejected, but he doesn't want to acknowledge it, so he'd rather pretend he's successful and put on airs.
Although I think that is giving him too much credit. Jim is an idiot.

[eyestitch]

thanks!

if he has a long con it's definitely prolly a LIL less complicated than that...but we can't count out a psychotic break.

but then...you've heard of 'obfuscating stupidity,' right?

[godcards]

I'm considering options, that doesn't make him anymore clever than he actually is. Like I said, he's an idiot. Even if he tries to pretend otherwise, he's made it quite clear he's a nobody with too much power.

[eyestitch]

sure, if he was he probably wouldn't have time to post on the internet for the company, right? he'd have oodles of yachts!

don't companies usually have an intern or two for this?

maybe jim's dept funding is bad -> jim puts up a registry -> jim gets money for the dept from the registry -> jim is promoted as a hero?

i just love these theories! they're not getting too convoluted or silly at all!

[godcards]

If this were anyone else, I don't think there'd be some bizarre scheme behind it, but as that seems to be how Retrospec operates... You can't say you haven't considered it too.

Or are you really just that interested in the registry itself? That's pretty boring.

[eyestitch]

i'm just a simple girl! of course i don't think about complicated things like that! I definitely haven't been thinking about what else it could be, either! if jim was just picking our pockets that'd be small potatoes! like, fingerling ones!

and i definitely haven't thought about it being some kinda new way to monitor us! it makes total sense that our phones will just know when we win the game!

[Hopefully she'll stop soon, since he has to have gotten the point by now.]

[godcards]

[ he gets it, but he doesn't seem to have that self awareness of how he overcomplicates things... sorry nui ]

You don't have to say it in such a roundabout way, you idiot.

[eyestitch]

[THEN HE'S USELESS!!!!]

you think i'm an idiot? what's so idiotic about qualifying your statements?

[godcards]

It's the roundabout way you're doing so. Just be straightforward instead of treating me like I"M the idiot.

[eyestitch]

ok samsung, there's no need to project so much here

i was just saying i'm a small girl talking big shit on the internet, just like everyone else here, even if they have wings or remembered their talking suit jacket or whatever. we all speculate because we still don't have the answers, right?
