    Fuck Elon Musk, but this is one of Jim’s worst moments in that show. If someone comes back from an extended therapy program with a set of tools and techniques they are using to solidify and remind themselves of the changes they have made to themselves and their lives, and one of them is as simple as asking you to use the other half of their legal name as their short form moniker, you have to be a an asshole not to do so. So yeah, call Musky’s new sinking ship whatever you want, but don’t be Jim Halpert about it, because Drew never crossed the line in anger again. /rantover

      I maintain that everyone on The Office except Dwight was basically an absolute pile of shit.

        One of my favorite shows cause everyone was charming but flawed, just like real life. If you filmed any of us for years, the viewers would say we are Irredeemable piles of shit just cause of our day to day mistakes and actions.

      You’re dunking on a fictional character over a one-liner joke. Jesus, people work themselves into a lather.

      Jim is kind of an asshole a lot throughout the show, like repeatedly disrespecting Dwight’s martial arts and belts as a joke. Disrespecting his wife because she believes in the paranormal and he doesn’t. He makes fun of Dwight for being into “fake stuff” but is all about fantasy football. Plop doesn’t like sports so Jim immediately says that they have NOTHING in common, like a person’s entire worth is wrapped up in what sports they like. He belittles and looks down on everyone, even his bosses, but he has no personality beyond sports and pranks. Jim is a guy I would never get along with in person.

        I’m no longer in the fan community for the show but I’ve been waiting for the day that everyone realizes that Jim’s entire character for the first 5 seasons is bullying his autistic coworker. That’s literally it. That, and having an emotional affair with his engaged coworker.
