I’ve never heard of flashing to pass?! In Australia that’s straight up road rage antics. You might want to check whether your local customs apply to the places you travel. That kind of misunderstanding could get you hurt.

Oh gosh I’ve tried Duolingo so many times over the years and never gotten far. I’m impressed with people who keep it up.

But just those 2 right? Because that’s… How our brains are wired or something? Based on… Something you saw in a movie from 1997 or something?

Did you just… Say all cis women are attracted to 2 types men? A ‘stud’ and a ‘dependable’ type? Because they are also the only types and never shall the two combine?

Like, all of us women? All of us?

Which cartoon told you this? And who told you to repeat this strange teen movie trope with such a sense of confidence?

Walking to get a coffee is when I’ve solved some of the most complex problems in my head. Walking to get a coffee was also one of the few times I’d leave my desk. What even was lunch…

This is clearly AI. I hate you.

There’s some lovely filth down here!

I heard that, at least in countries where we read left to right, we also look for things left to right. And if you reverse this and look from right to left that you’re more likely to notice something you otherwise missed. So I do that. But I have no data to confirm if it works…

OP never mentioned men. Bit of a slip on your part.

It’s so hard to say because the allergy has been present my whole life - many exposures. The same thing goes for the taste of peanuts/peanut butter - I couldn’t actually describe how it tastes because I’m about 30s from throwing up.

The new suburbs where I am are cat containment areas so that’s something. But I’m in an older suburb. Where all the wildlife is quite established. And I keep finding lizards and parrots ripped apart. My home cameras pick up the cats that visit all night.

My responses to him are always prefaced with a big sigh. Because whatever I’m about to tell him is negative. And he often concludes with ‘so how can you care about this/why do you give a shit if it’s pointless’ and I’m finding it harder and harder to answer that question.

Ignorance truly is bliss

In Australia I can’t tell you how frustrating this is. People are so fucking selfish.

My partner lacked political engagement until his 30s for reasons so he occasionally has these hot takes. But he expresses them to me and I do feel bad because he’s not coming at it from an arrogant perspective. It’s ignorance, some naivete and also exasperation at a whole lot of shit things.

I have to gently explain to him why XYZ isn’t that simple or black and white, or why his idea doesn’t work - and the answer to that, 9 times out of 10, is ‘because money/rich people/greed/lobbyists/nimbyism’.

I’m just slowly chipping away at his innocence and it feels bad.

This is the best way of describing it. Assertive statements with very naive foundations. I can recognise some of my own thought patterns from when I was young in some of the things they say.
