    He's so lame

    You can smell the desperation to be seen as relatable and quirky

    It's like if that Tom Hanks movie where the 14 year old turns into an adult CEO actually happened, but to an annoying reddit nerd

      It's weird - I watched Big a couple weeks ago and it's been mentioned twice at Hexbear since then. I don't think I'm suffering from the frequency illusion. But it's true that probability is - cough - random.

      Frequency illusion

      Frequency illusion, also known as the Baader–Meinhof phenomenon or frequency bias, is a cognitive bias in which, after noticing something for the first time, there is a tendency to notice it more often, leading someone to believe that it has an increased frequency of occurrence.

        Baader–Meinhof phenomenon

        My favourite phenomena are named after Marxist-Leninist urban guerrillas

          Is it just a rumor that Tom Hanks is going to be in the English language remake of 2008 German film The Baader Meinhof Complex?

          Ninja edit: Wait a minute. Did I see a comment about that here?
