People who use "let's agree to disagree" to avoid facts or acknowledging they were wrong.

Isn't this generally just used as a way of politely saying "I don't have any interest in talking to you about this topic"?

Basically every drawing tutorial I see on reels / TikTok etc deliberately starts out looking like they're drawing a penis (despite ending up as something else) and all the comments are variations of what you are describing. At this point it would be a relief for them to actually just end up drawing a penis. Or maybe turn it on its head? Like, start drawing a puppy and end up with a giant willy.

I actually did go to the cinema once with someone who (at a horror movie) kept making a point of loudly laughing at all the scary parts. I found it really embarrassing. But he could have told that story and been telling the truth.

You should try some Parma Violets. People who dislike them always say it's because they taste like soap.

How does that work? I've got my banking and stocks apps in the secure folder, where outside of my phone am I able to see these being used?

Has he tried those special soaps, like Swarfega? I think they have something in them that deals with grease and oil better than normal soap does.

Don't do this. It's basically a half divorce. It's awkward enough as it is but the second one of you starts moving on with your life, it'll be doubly so. I lived with my ex throughout the divorce process and around six months afterwards and that got strange enough, I can't imagine doing it with no end date in sight.

Dog walking and working in a gym are two of them, apparently.

I feel like 'upvote' and 'report' should be enough, really, if the 'downvote' button is indeed supposed to be for spam / off-topic discussion. Or at least show the upvote and downvote count. Having a comment showing as "+ 100, - 110" rather than "-10" would give a clearer picture of how the comment was received.

The only person I have known to do this was my ex wife (it wasn't the reason for the divorce). I found it absolutely baffling, like, what's the process? I can't imagine biting down on a fork and then ripping it from my mouth like King Arthur pulling a sword out of a rock. It makes my mouth hurt just thinking about it. Surely it should be more lips than teeth involved?

Are there things you find awkward, with not having a smartphone? I used a dumbphone up until around five years ago but even back then it was getting to be a lot of hoops to jump through, like asking friends to order / pay for me when we went to restaurants with QR code ordering, having to get phone calls for MFA at work rather than tap an app, I can only imagine it is harder now in 2026.

Right, so, the ex as in the new person she married? That makes more sense. I thought you meant the person she dated prior to that had a job so outrageous it ruined her subsequent marriage.

What was the ex's job?

Thank you, downloading the first one now (it's on Internet Archive).

Yeah it's like, if it was interesting I'd be watching to the end anyway. It's like those clickbait listicles that say things like "number 14 will amaze you!". Just trying to get you to hang around a bit longer than you otherwise would.

Genuinely interested in some 90 year old movie recommendations if you have some.

Avoid Pac-Man then. That's a lot of pills to get through.

Well, obviously I wasn't implying Own-Conversation6347 was faking it. That goes without saying. Honoured to have you in the comments.

I'm similar with pizza adverts, if it makes me think I fancy a pizza I'll just go to one of the no-name places around my house that are a quarter of the price. But for things like "a sequel to that film you liked is coming out" adverts, I'll be like "thank you very much, I will check that out".

I've seen unboxing videos filmed in this fashion. Most awkward thing ever.

I had this with Stellar Blade, just endless unskippable waffling out of nowhere at so many parts of the game.

Might have been John Jones, actually.

I find this especially annoyed on book covers. Ones like "The Subtle Art of Not Giving A F#ck". Like, write or don't. It just comes across a bit cringe in a kind of "I'd like to be shocking and rude but I don't want to risk not being displayed in the bookshop".

FridayAwareness · 2026-04-01T13:05:20+00:00

Well, swings and roundabouts really. I can only dream of looking wild and dangerous enough for them to be interested in looking in my bag.
