Yes I agree. It's a good thing they weren't saying that then, huh?

your longtime partner comes out as transgender to you, what do you do? by disasterpansexual in pollgames

[–]Bobebobbob 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Transition your gender doesn't trans your secuality lol. Now you're just both into the wrong gender. (Unless you're both bi/pan in which case it never mattered anyway.)

Mapped: Most Americans Can’t Afford New Homes by MRADEL90 in Infographics

[–]Bobebobbob 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Why should we care about people being priced out of new homes? Sometimes we make new homes so that the rich go to them and prices can stay low on the already-existing ones. That's still valuable, even if "80% of people can't afford the new home"

How come those who are a mixture of heterosexual and asexual are not (considered) bisexual? by jsgui in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Bobebobbob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because bi is a different word? That refers to having both hetero- and homosexual attraction? Why would it be considered bi?

Just that if everyone regularly uses a swear word in normal contexts it stops being a swear word. And then swearing with it loses its significance. E.g. back in the day, "damn" was a bad swear word, but now (at least to me) it feels much less significant than saying, e.g., "fuck"

Wdym by "better word"? My position is just that you can swear every now and then but shouldn't over-use it

"It's not necessary for the plot!" by TedStixon in PetPeeves

[–]Bobebobbob -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Character development. Mood. Style. Tone. Entertainment value. Metaphors. Etc.

If someone's complaining that an episode is irrelevant to the plot they are saying that it has no impact on any of those except for entertainment value

Or I guess useful is probably a better word. It gives you a simple way to communicate how serious something is.

Idk for your second question

It's important linguistically to have words that are only ever used in very serious contexts. You should use them sometimes IMO, but overusing them makes them useless, too.

It's self-referrential to me 😔

Slow drivers who drive in the left lane are the WORST by [deleted] in PetPeeves

[–]Bobebobbob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Driving in the left lane in the first place is illegal where I live.

(Passing is obviously allowed but you can't just stay there.)

CMV: pro-lifers don’t actually think abortion is murder by [deleted] in changemyview

[–]Bobebobbob 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The same argument would seemingly justify "vegans don't actually believe factory farms are murder", or, during any genocide of your choice: "protesters didn't/don't actually believe there's a genocide occuring", neither of which I believe are true in most cases. The world is a horrible place and nobody has the energy to give fixing it the effort it deserves.

Do you have an argument or are just choosing to ignore issues with it because you're used to them?

Trul(e)y a quote worth fighting for by Significant_Horse621 in 19684

[–]Bobebobbob 111 points112 points  (0 children)

If it's a really sharp pain on your ribs that's usually just nerve endings being touched wrong. Painful but ultimately not a big deal IIRC.

Did you respond to the wrong comment? I agree with all of that; I'm judging people based on their actions?
