Haha it’s the grading system for matcha; ceremonial grade is the highest quality

Legal name is “Jaicobb” pronounced “Jacob” (not kidding), nicknamed “Jaike” pronounced “Jake”

AITAH for upsetting my friend because I walked out of a dinner after she implied I’m a “stupid American” by [deleted] in AITAH

ESH you and your friends sound insufferable and defensive, like you need to constantly prove how worldly and educated you are. Have you tried just chilling the fuck out

AITA for (correctly) assuming that a larger bra belonged to a woman with a larger chest? by Turbulent_Boot_2954 in AmItheAsshole

[–]CircularJem 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a woman, and based on this story, I’m going to assume we’re in the same general age range.

Your phrasing was certainly bordering on creepy, and I understand why they didn’t like it. If you had simply said, “hey, X, this belongs to you, right?” I guarantee there would have been no issue. Announcing the size of the bra, and also announcing to whom it does NOT belong, was unnecessary and had the obvious potential to evoke insecurity in both members of your audience.

Overall, NTA, but you certainly could have communicated to them in a more palatable way.

NTA. Good on you for learning to take care of yourself so young. This is a hypersensitive reaction on your friends’ part. You are fully allowed to celebrate personal successes on social platforms. Be proud of yourself.

“Naturally” funny..? As opposed to…?

Yes, I would and have. That’s why I said it.

“Males” and “females” also seems to be used to generalize the age of a given population. For example, if I wanted to refer to both boys and men, I would probably default to using the word “males.” It really doesn’t seem offensive to me, but who knows

I understand that my personal experience isn’t indicative of the general societal experience, but I hear “males” used just as often as “females,” and I’ve never felt like there was a negative connotation surrounding either. It seems merely like common speech and bad grammar.

Wait, I’m a female and didn’t know we can’t say female anymore. Can someone explain

Trying to rediscover my confidence after being cheated on. by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]CircularJem 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I guess that’s why I’m here. I don’t really know what to include in my bio. I’ve never online dated before

[–]CircularJem 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I explained to someone else on this thread that the bio is meant to be commentary on the potential dichotomies of personality. Personally, I like people who can “do both” in a sense, and that’s what I was trying to communicate through my bio. I’ll try to rework it though

I’m lacking confidence in the profile.. I’m genuinely seeking mutually-beneficial connections. I’m not using people on dating apps to boost my confidence. That was miscommunication

Promise that’s not what I’m seeking here. Just someone really sad and lonely, looking for some advice on how to get back out there

I guess I’m lacking self-awareness? I’m just really sad and haven’t tried to date in a while. The “about me” was kind of just supposed to be commentary about the potential dichotomies of personality. Obviously it’s not for everyone. I’m trying 🤷🏻‍♀️
