What does this mean?

Sorry, you not seen The Fifth Element? Bresson? Never mind if not (your loss! ), the piccy was reminiscent of the final battle scene, but there are some very funny parts, of which the mutipass was one, Leeloo being the film's protagonist along side a rather young Bruce Willis. Sorry the second pic isn't very clear, but you get the idea?

I sometimes forget there are actually other people out there, who are not me!

I don't get the idea at all. Popular culture is full of references to things seen on TV, in formulaic movies, or in video games that just baffle me. However, I don't feel I'm missing anything significant. By the time I get curious, the OED will have a definition for "yeet."

Have you seen the film? I'm guessing not. Kinda takes the meaning away. In my day (sheesh! "my day" ) it was a cult film that was actually well produced and very popular (also very funny, despite Brucie, some hilarious scenes and characters - excellent cast, real top actors (plus Bruce ), blah blah .... Also, I guess depends on whether you like Bresson as a director.)
But "the idea" is the meme of a woman with some sort of beam coming out her breastbone area (I think) heading vertically upwards. As in the gif, which I did explain wasn't the most clear of imagery!

I would have been able to guess that Bruce is an actor, not an athlete, but that is my only recall on anything you mention here. However, I do think you have an uncanny resemblance to Peter Sellers.

I honestly can't tell if your being straight or, ironic? Or worse? All my normal alarms have gone off.
The original comment was to lisa's post and comment. It was meant to be a light hearted comment on my part forgetting it's a different culture here and now and wouldn't mean much. And like I said, if you've not seen the film, I'm not sure how any of this relates? If I've hacked you off, just say. If I'm failing miserably to understand your meaning, apologies, but that's par for the course for me, you may need to explain for me.
The Peter Sellers comment seems a bit of a give away? But then maybe your facial recognition is as useless as mine, in which case, could be a straight comment on your part, or even humour? (but lacking an emoji, the norm for humour, commonly, that's contentious too). Not enough info, decision pending. Bit of help?

I remember that, pretty good movie.

Mostly, I'm just pointing out that we do live in very different worlds. Do you get upset when people misuse stress, strain, strength, stiffness, and other engineering terms? Can you tell?
I'm pretty sure that your Avatar is from Dr. Strangelove, which is one of the very few movies I'm familiar with, and one of the more recent ones.

Thank you! I knew that comment about Sellers had more than just an identification question!
I have to say, and no malice or anything here, however I come across in my writing, but I find your style of communicating very hard to grasp, in terms of understanding your meaning, where you're coming from, what you're asking, if you see what I mean?

For me, and understand, this has little bearing on you really, it comes across passive aggressive! I don't mean it is, just my perception (which is hardly typical!). It feels you don't like to give much out of yourself, maybe especially to an untrusted stranger like myself, or maybe I just fail to see that in your messages?
Again, that's just how it comes over to me, and I've not reason to expect you to be aware of my sensibilities, but trying to find a way to discover what's going on. So in the interests of friendly discourse, and common understanding, read on ... (?)

My whole life has been a constant battle(?) to understand and be understood (from first school years onwards). The vast majority of the time, not so successful. I'm well aware of a lot of things regarding communication, psychology, minds, learning systems, social contact and inclusion - blah blah, all that stuff. In fact I spend the majority of my free time try to learning more, or just spend hours in introspective thought (don't watch TV or any of the usual pastimes). I can't learn facts and stuff much, but good at learning systems, processes, ideas, concepts. I have no autobiographical memory (or little to speak of - so little sense of time (I could be 30 still and not notice the difference to be 60, as far as my mind is concerned (apart from learning more, but I can't even remember the process even, and I can't go back in my mind to the past, at all), and can't learn or process certain really obvious things very well, but others I seem to have a phenomenal ability to (very carefully) absorb ideas and then my mind just starts to throw answers back at me once I've got enough to understand how something works - I can talk to computers at a low level, coding, all that nerdy rubbish, better than most (it amazes me how little modern IT engineers know about how a computer works!), but I can't talk to a stranger to ask if the bus goes somewhere (or w.h.y.). I have intelligence, but lack the ability to pass on knowledge to people, or get back what they think of things, to add to my database of understanding.

So I've got a lot up in there, but it rarely connects with others because I'm mostly self taught, and I have non of the contexts that most people pick up unconsciously when it comes to social matters (I'm well aware I'm not unique, but I also don't quite fit the same as some others in the spectrum (well, who does, I guess! ).

That said I've still learned how to fit in well enough to be able to work with people - I can communicate as long as there's a non-personal aspect to the process. If you're read a few of my posts, you may be able to see that?
e.g. I jump in to some forums, and splurg, but can't make an Intro post, because that's all me, not responding to others. Reactive is the only way I've managed to get on with people.

So mostly I can work out what's going on at a basic level, but I'm clumsy with people, figuratively speaking. I've built a large vocabulary from my own reading, but often can't recall the words I want, or use them badly from other people's perspective.

And yes, definitions of terms, symbols essentially, which words count as for me, ar massively important, not just engineering terms either, all of them! In fact it's a major issue (for me at least)! How can anyone gain common understanding when they don't even define their terms, but instead just brutally assume that everyone has the same definitions, when it's blindingly clear that's not the case at all. Is being 'normal' partly just the ability to pretend we all think the same? (I have to say, that's my observation of others, and personal experience of doing it myself too!)

Sorry, not sure what else I can say that may explain myself, not sure I've done much of a job here anyway? Sorry if I've caused offence, never the intent!
(Oh yeah, and I write and write and write, trying to make it more understandable, adding more context, explaining background, until it becomes unreadable for most (I was about to say 'normal'!) people! You can't have failed to spot that!

P.S. Strangelove is one of the few films I consider totally unique and matchless. So very very funny, so very very real and scary! And the whole production is just, well I have no adequate words, but it's priceless stuff.
Just the scene with Hayden doing his bodily fluids speech! Wow! And Slim Pickins riding a nuke down to ground zero, a whooping an a hollerin' - just great stuff! Just so packed with irony and social comment in every scene. Nothing wasted. (you may get the idea I think it's not too bad! )
By the way, if you like well produced scifi with big streak of humour (not taking itself too seriously) but entertaining and not too jarring (I can't stand films that break the rules of the universe "oh, we'll just go back in time and save the world!" sort of thing), 5th Element is very worth a watch, I don't cotton much to vid media, but this one I loved. But each to their own, y'know!

P.P.S. While contributing to it's length even more in saying this - OMG! I've done it again! Sorry! <head in hands!>
