Why would I unload my emotional baggage on the people who caused it in the first place? That just sounds like more baggage.
Edit: This was supposed to be a joke. You can stop pointing out my complex trauma, thank you.

Well now how am I supposed to enjoy the sensation of someone else’s sweaty hand sliding down the pole to slowly touch mine while they remain oblivious of the entire situation?
This is the sort of smartass thing I would try right before getting bludgeoned to death.
“very often” is hyperbole, but if you’ve never had/heard of that discussion I would be surprised. But I don’t think “men are misunderstanding the question” is a crazy take.
“who would win in a fight” and “who would you feel more threatened by” are by no means two “random” subjects, they are very closely related in theme and in most situations the answers would be interchangeable. And the conflation of the two closely related topics of conversation was my entire point.
…
Sure.
The original meme is about women feeling they are less threatened by a bear than a strange man, the bear might leave them alone or not be aggressive where a man would be more likely to. That men can be a threat in different ways.
Separately men very often discuss what animals they could beat in a fight. This results in a misunderstanding/disconnect between “who would you feel less threatened by” and “who would win in a fight”, which I agree is not what the original meme of women “choosing the bear” is about, but it is a very similar dynamic that results in men explaining that you won’t win a fight against a bear. Which, again, is not the point of the original meme indicating a feeling that a bear might be less likely to harm or threaten you, which is why it results in people talking past each other. (Kind of like right now…)
And I believe you missed the words “appearing to imply” and my point completely.
Yeah, but Cheetahs can be way bigger than you expect, up to 160 pounds. I think if it can build up enough speed and has the chance to pounce you’re gonna have the wind knocked out of you before you can do much.
Which is why framing the concept in a context that is parallel to one already very familiar to men (what animal is a bigger threat) has caused such misunderstanding.
is it rhetorically or optically the perfect feminist meme that is beyond criticism? no.
Honestly, I think the biggest problem with the argument is men have been having very serious discussions for probably millenia about what animals they could and could not beat in a fight. And it is implicitly known that the guy who comes in saying he could beat a bear is way up his own ass. Now here comes a meme appearing to imply that men could beat a bear in a fight, and the urge to correct is strong.
I understand and agree with the sentiment, but I also want you to know you can’t beat a bear in a fight, but will gladly discuss what animals you might win against.
What about a Cheetah?
Hitman Hiring Competition sounds like a great WKYK skit.
The only one I appreciate having the long, obnoxious, continuous tune is the oven, since I do not want to forget about that for several hours.
Someone should do something about the holes in the schoolhouse roof.
I’ve never met the man, and have done little to no business with him, but in my experience if you do a lot of work some people are going to complain about it, and only the pissiest of them would go out of their way to inscribe a tablet about it. Nobody is putting that effort into “went fine, no complaints.”
Ea-nāṣir’s reputation may be the earliest victim of survivorship bias.
Based on my experiences in customer service and just seeing online reviews in general, I have strong doubts about the accuracy of the complaint.
somehow it is hotter than ambient.
Hot air rises, and you’re in the attic
They’ll switch back to the normal can soon enough…with the raised price, so they can do it again…
Them making you wait is also often a consequence of earlier patients showing up late or an appointment requiring more time than expected.
The options to solve it are less patients per day, but that leads to even longer delays before you even get to your appointment date, OR more professional staff in the office…but that would cut into profits of the people in charge so is immediately off the table in this damned money world.
iirc he made best friends with Robot Schwarzenegger, and really wanted to bang Robot Summer Glau. So maybe stop with the hypocritical judgment, John.
no, stop
This is similar to something I assumed right before I had a long argument with a high school physics teacher. We ended up agreeing that he just didn’t really care.
