Do people in America actually tell drivers to "step on it"? Seems really rude
>pontificating
Yeah, we're an assertive bunch. It's my go-to line every time I use Uber.
New York is a shithole
I can’t believe people actually read his books lmao
You don’t want some bulb headed Eritrean cabbie to take you for a ride and charge you double what it should cost by going the long way.
i personally like to say "im gonna have explosive diarrhea" a few minutes into the ride
Only when I have my driver at gunpoint. I would never assert myself like that without a weapon.

This honestly made me cringe more than the infamous "Warden be cry" line
I love Infinite Jest but this line is not one of its finer moments

Fuck off cunt
i tell the driver to please drive safely, i'm not in a hurry.

Everything Hal says in that scene is intended to be cringe. He compares Kierkegaard to Camus, and compares Rousseau and Hobbes, and namedrops Hegel as though it's deep, for Christ's sake. He's an edgy, anxious, depressive, overachieving eighteen year old at the point of panic attack. The reason that the Infinite Jest meme has lasted so long on Yea Forums is that it is a mirror to this place, and is as such either loved or loathed, reveled in or reviled.
Why
Holy shit someone on Yea Forums who actually understood Infinite Jest
>be me
>hate the guy in the pic for superficial reason, having just seen pics of him
>pop on over to ddg
>I actually enjoyed this is water before know who he was
