If I immediately searched for an answer to every question that pops into my head, I would never have time to do anything else. I’ve lost days at a time going down rabbit holes.

On the other hand, asking a question in the comments contributes to the discussion, gives the OP a chance to elaborate from their point of view, and leaves the answer out the for any other passersby who might not be curious enough to search for it anyway.

One could certainly find more detailed and accurate information by searching for it, but that’s a thread that just keeps on pulling, and sometimes I don’t have the time, energy, or inclination to read twenty different websites to put together the details into a holistic picture while sorting through all the BS. And getting someone’s personal take on it is something a search engine can’t emulate (unless it shows you reddit results, which originated in other people’s exchanges, and lately reddit has been blocking the connection anyway)

By the way, there’s only one pedal.

Well the context from the post makes it seem pre-exclusive because “talking to” is the name of a phase before exclusivity.

Because “dating” is confusingly starting to take on the same meaning as “in a relationship with,” which makes no sense but vernacular language doesn’t care about contradictions

“What if we genetically engineer pikas with the electrical nodes of an eel?”

“Hmm hmm how about we cross a shrew with a pangolin and make it really like digging in the sand!”

“I made a turtle that can jet water like a squid.”

I think they mean the people in charge of maintaining schedules will be rigorously opposed to anything getting in the way of those schedules proceeding as planned.

Not that every ASD person is immune from ADHD.

Ah, but you’re forgetting that any media depiction of misogyny is assumed to be an endorsement of it, even though failing to depict misogyny is seen as obscuring it and therefore also endorsing it.

I don’t understand all these mental hoops we’re supposed to jump through these days just to avoid every faux pas. Some of these hoops are even in opposite directions…

Does that apply both ways? Cause everything I’ve read about modern dating culture is that women can talk to as many men at a time as they want to as long as they’re not exclusives, and if a man doesn’t like that then he’s an insecure chauvinist loser. At least that’s what I’ve been told.

But it’s still not okay for men to talk to multiple women at a time? I’m tired of these double standards.

Something something profoundly sick society something something krishnamurti

I don’t like this one bit.

Nice fanfic, but next time stick to the prompt

“Excuse me?!? You’re supposed to be absolutely crushed by me blowing you off! I’m clearly in the right and you should be upset about it.”

Green dodged a bullet.

I hope they got in such a tizzy over this that it ruined their “plans with someone else” cause they showed up all sour.

Dating culture is so toxic, I’m glad it’s just me and my cat these days…

No, I get it. I just find it wild that they derive a sense of superiority from that.

Like, how lame of me to take a principled stance on something. I wish I could be as cool as the people who can’t even think of their own replies, but think they’re being funny. Not even the “joke” of repeating items from the list is original.

This place is turning into reddit by the day…

You’re so fucking original, seriously where do you get your jokes? Do you come up with them all yourself?

You apparently don’t…

So is “Act your height”

Do you see the parallel?

Are you implying that that’s a bad thing?

Should we all be emotionless automatons?

Gatekeeping nazis out of punk spaces? Very punk.

Gatekeeping performative nepo babies out of class struggle? Also punk.

Conformism and obedience to unjust authorities are literally contrary to being punk by definition. If you allow those things, “punk” becomes meaningless, just a fad.

Dressing punk without acting punk is not punk.

Woop, someone who isn’t okay with a double-standard! I guess a “RealMan™” would take it on the chin and not be offended, right? Don’t worry, just be okay with being walked on like a fucking doormat, and if you get upset about it we’ll just use that as ammunition to demean you even more! And if we push you past your psychological breaking point then we’ll all act shocked and call you aggressive and wonder “How could this happen?”

Blame the individual for the inevitable consequences of a societal outlook. And if it starts happening with millions of individuals then we’ll just blame them all as individuals because they must be fundamentally and inherently flawed, and not just psychologically damaged by constant bullying and ostracization.

Oh, but it’s not victim blaming when the victim is a man, right? “If you got bullied, what did you do to deserve it?” “Maybe if you dressed like a normal person people wouldn’t pick on you so much.” “People can sense a pushover, just have confidence and you’ll get more respect.”

Honestly, go fuck yourself you privileged little shit.

Really? You don’t think so. Okay, let’s try an experiment

(Disclaimer: the following statements do not reflect the views or opinions of the author)

how to rage bait a woman

• “what would you make for dinner if you could cook?”

• “whatever makes you feel independent and empowered!”

• “huh”…“huh”…“huh”…

• repeat what they say with a nerdy voice

• “Relax, it’s not that deep.”

• “You wouldn’t get it.”

• “That’s such a fat chick thing to say.”

• “ok buddy”

• “it’s probably hard always being wrong”

• “your time of the month huh?”

• “whatever helps you sleep at night”

• “Do things normally work out for you when you do that?”

• “You sound emotional right now.”

• “Act your weight”

• “Did you think abt changing your hair?”

There. Is the blatant sexism obvious enough yet? Or is that only acceptable when it’s directed at men?
