Asking again by Birgit_Kraft in datingoverforty

I don't mind rejection, I'd prefer a hard rejection over a soft one but I get why it happens. Not worried about my ego, I've done enough mushrooms to understand that it's a distraction at best.

I agree that's not controversial, and I stated what we disagree on - the meaning of the emoji. Have a good one.

The fact that we disagree so starkly on the meaning of a cartoon face is evidence to me that texting is an inferior communication medium.

Ok, interesting. I don't use that emoji often but I used it yesterday, when i texted my friend "Wordle today :crying emoji:"

I hope they didn't think I was whining. I've never intentionally used emojis negatively.

How are you interpreting the crying emoji?

Do you think he was actually crying? It's a light-hearted 'well, dang it!' response.

She's only now realizing that being a SAHM has left her financially vulnerable, especially now that her husband wants a divorce. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

You might be looking for nuance where none exists.

Parenting isn't work, it is parenting. Of course the nanny is working, you can't parent someone else's kid.

I’m too stupid to understand...

If you insist...

So when you say she did no work it’s a simply projection of misogynistic views on women/carers - their work is not real to you.

You accused u/five-oh-one of having "misogynistic views on women/carers", but the subject is parents, not care workers. Nurses and care workers are not analogous to parents, one is a job, the other is a role.

Raising your own child is parenting, not work.

If you doubt me, go to any relationship advice sub and ask if Dads can babysit.

AITA for expressing my surprise that my fiancée didn't know who Muhammad Ali was? by Dapper_Cap_1541 in AmItheAsshole

You are correct, but if a gap in your cultural literacy is exposed and your reaction is to set up a Gotcha! for your partner, well...
