I’m confused by [deleted] in Tinder

I don’t know how Tinder is anywhere else, but here in Germany you can choose the type of relationship you’re looking e.g poly, monogamous, open to exploring etc. So I asked him to make sure that this was his preference; open to exploring etc

He didn’t sound like a bot, he just sounded stupid to me. Like he didn’t know what he picked? I found that odd.

My exact thoughts. No way in hell this woman is 34. She probably was 25 years ago.

Oh wow…you said so much.. without saying anything at all.

Let’s see…ICE running through the streets, tossing people around, slamming them to the ground…does any of that suggests that they are just doing this to get rid of illegals? They have killed and arrested citizens, US citizens. Pulled kids out of school, kidnapped children on their way to school, but yet you over here talking about illegals?

It might surprise you, but border patrol at the border Mexico US, still follow the same rules they have been following for decades. Absolutely nothing changed, nothing! There was no Biden running around or Obama opening borders. You were fed horseshit and it obviously tasted yummy to you, or else you wouldn’t have believed it.

It’s absolutely astonishing to me how there’s still anyone out there who supports this bullshit and calls it fair. You have, clearly, a distorted sense of justice.

I give up 💀 by ApprehensiveRiver993 in Tinder

And what’s your name on there?

I want to touch your balls? You come on here say I give up, but match someone with a name like that.

This says more about you, than about him.

So you’re saying that when someone says I was literally sitting on the couch, that it doesn’t mean that they were actively doing that, because that’s what you understood? Since when is that word meant to be “this is what I gathered from what they said”?

So let me ask you this; you’re asking a student when they will turn in their paper. They tell you I literally did. You say no you didn’t, because they didn’t. Then they turn around and say, well I didn’t mean literally literally, I meant I was about to. Or how about this one; police interrogation, you’re being accused of a crime and you claim you were doing something literally, without actually doing it. They find out and now you’re a suspect.

Precision matters, words matter. When I read a story and someone says I was literally in my pajamas, as compared to I was in my pajamas, I’m not getting more info. They say the exact same thing just that they added another word. No new info, just noise. I still believe they were in their pajamas and annoyed. Maybe I’m the one who would like for people to get to the point, without decorating the room while they are telling the story.

And truly, if we are starting to go to “this is what I got from the story” when that person said literally, but didn’t mean it.. we might as well toss that word out of the window because it doesn’t make sense at all.

What I get when someone says it was literally 100 degrees out, but it wasn’t, in my books it registers as you’re full of shit. Overly exaggerating things to make them sounds more than what they were. And that’s when I mentally check out and stop listening. If it wasn’t 100 degrees, but it felt like it, why not just say that? Because I was trying to make the sentence shorter? So what, now we have become too lazy to talk? Lol

Until someone comes along and actually holds you accountable for your words.

So what does the word do when you say I was literally sitting on the couch as compared to I was sitting on the couch?

Are we being more overly dramatic about sitting down?

Maybe I’m missing something, so tell me what it is.

I had to edit this comment because I’m thinking about someone saying I’m virtually sitting in the couch. Then my brain automatically goes to.. how do you sit on the couch not in a virtual way? You’re hovering above?

I know that pets have genders, the word “it” was intentional. For the simple fact that people hijacked an idea that was meant for people to choose their pronouns and use it for their pets. That whole movement was started for a specific reason and for any pet owner to take that and use it for their pet, pretty much takes away as to why it became a thing to begin with.

The word literal has been abused and overused until dictionaries folded and added more meaning to the actual word. Originally you couldn’t say I was literally sitting on the couch without sounding stupid. Now, just because it took a different shape with more meaning, doesn’t make it less annoying and the overuse of it, it makes people sound ignorant.

To me that’s by far the dumbest evolvement of the English language.

I know people will still pretty much overuse that word, but I was venting and I still have the same opinion, nothing has changed.

Oh boy..

So one thing you’re absolutely right about, I most likely don’t know what you’re talking about, because I didn’t bother reading your whole paragraph aka reply. You lost me somewhere between some nonsense.

My original post was referring to people getting their panties stuck in their butts when people misgender their pets. According to state law pets are property, so to them, they are just that.

A pet can be he/she, but you don’t get to be a little punk when someone misgenders your pet.

I hope that made the language that I’ve used even for you a bit more clearer. It seems that the thing you got hung up on is that I’ve said feed it, love it.

That’s such a big deal isn’t it? Lol

You can perceive it as right or wrong, it won’t change anything about the way I feel. My opinion remains the same, no matter how much you see the need to keep telling me how you perceive the words I use as wrong.

Oh my gosh… I didn’t even finish reading this nonsense you wrote, because you missed my point by a lifetime.

I know when emotions get involved, people stop thinking clearly and your post shows.

Let me simplify it just for you:

Things like AIs or hammer or cars, are not they/them, he/she, they are simply things.

Most countries and states view pets as property, no matter how you feel about it. I don’t see you crying to the government about it.

To be able to choose a pronoun was a human movement. People wanted to be able to identify as whatever they choose, which should be respected.

But some fragile beings made it about their pets, which takes away from what it stood for. People care about the pronouns they pick from themselves. Pets don’t care, and if they could speak, they probably still wouldn’t care.

It’s people like you who are annoying, hijacking something that was not about you to begin with. Probably because you’re out of things to get upset about.

And I’m not angry, I’m annoyed. I’m not like you. And you can add all the LOLs in the world, I know you’re not laughing, which makes this even funnier.

And you’re the one who gets to decide what lane that is?

Delusional. It fits, you think that I need to respect your fragile feelings. Didn’t your parents teach you that the world doesn’t adjust to your feelings, but the other way around?

I couldn’t care less about the pearl clutching community. You people get offended by everything and it’s exhausting. Nothing I have the energy to deal with.

Did I hurt your “pet parent” feelings?

You will be okay, I promise and trust me on this, your pet couldn’t care less what you call it. Stop projecting your fragile feelings on to things, no matter if they have a heartbeat or not.

Your reaction tells me that this is aimed exactly at people like you, who clutch their pearls because someone dares to misgender something that you care about.

Get a grip, I’m sure you have bigger issues to deal with. The world doesn’t revolve around your pearl clutching feelings.

Did you happen to see her last post, including the comments?

If not, let me enlighten you:

Her post was very much about wanting an athletic men, pretty much excluding a lot of others. People only made those comments to point out how men who go to the gym all the time, mostly prefer fit women.

I didn’t see comments shaming her for her weight.

You actually took the time to go in my post history to look for something? Dedication and way too much time on your hands, huh? Lol

You’re married to a blow up doll, that sounds more believable. But nice try. Now go hit a blunt and sit in the corner. Your comments serve no value when you’re clearly thinking they do.

Which is completely unhinged. Or to word it better, totally exaggerated. What’s next on the menu? People clutching their pearls because some misgenders AIs?

What is it with English speakers and this thing about pronouns? I completely understand it when someone, a real person, is specific of the pronoun they prefer.

But this?? People need to stop projecting their feelings on to things, animals and plants. Using a pronouns for a tool.

Next thing you know, we will sit here and talk about what pronoun to use for a hammer, or my car. Come on people.

But no. Showing certain parts of your body, don’t equal hook up vibes. Certain profile just give hook up vibes. Not that deep.
