A lot of respect for Jim. He doesn't take anything personal, super cool in a world full of people sensitive about everything. I hope one day to be so unbothered.

Jim is an authentic person. Nothing fake or ostentatious about him. Humble, truthful. He's really grown on me like some weird bald fungus.

I’ve always loved Jim because he is a complete degenerate, but also an honest and wholesome person. It sounds confusing but I’m sure others agree?
