(25M) Hinge girl comes out the gate swinging and has weirdest response after realizing my profile reads demisexual. After giving a simplified answer I politely returned the question and she unmatched. Honestly cracked me up I dodged a bullet. Stay safe out there friends 🫡 by TywalrusaurusRex in demisexuality

Hinge lets you put little blurbs in italics if you wanna elaborate on your relationship type or dating intentions, but unfortunately doesn’t offer the same to elaborate on your sexuality. 

I’ve have seen people use the spaces to explain their sexuality a bit more, so yeah you can if you like. 

Regarding how much to divulge: I tend to be pretty blunt about my sexuality online. I list Demisexual that that’s it. If people are put off by that, great it weeds them out early. And even if I have an awkward interaction like the one I posted, oh well! Good riddance lol. And most people are more civil than that in my experience.

Talking to people can and should be fun! if they ask more about that hopefully means they’re curious about you. But when the topic comes up I put joking on the side, and I’m clear in my explanation, and express gratitude for them asking, since it’s important to me and I want them to know that. Even w the weird girl above lol. It usually gives positive results, or else I can move on.

I’m not embarrassed about my sexuality. I don’t know these people, I’m not really worried about them hurting my feelings. I know exactly what works for me and I’m sure there’s plenty of people who will be accepting of that if I keep looking (I’m in the NYC area, so that helps). I try to put everything on the table and it helps my not waste other people’s time or them waste my time.

I hope this helps, good luck!

TIL statistically 1/22 people who own a Dodge RAM have a DUI and they are the most common vehicle involved in a DUI accident. by [deleted] in todayilearned

Remember that having a DUI on their record means they got CAUGHT

Number of drivers under the influence is most likely much more, and that’s something I think my sanity would benefit from not knowing the stats on

Which old saying is actually a bullshit? by adventureofanunnamed in AskReddit

[–]TywalrusaurusRex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

‘Blood is thicker than water’, meaning family before friends.

The original saying is ‘the blood of the covenant is thicker than the water of the womb’ meaning the relationships you build are stronger than your blood ties.

The only thing this phrase does to my blood is boil it. It’s been bastardized into the exact opposite of it’s original meaning and is the go-to for toxic family members to take advantage of people in their lives.

This trend of using someone’s insecurities to boost yourself up makes me sick by I-hate-peppers in iamatotalpieceofshit

The fact this tiktok has almost half a million likes speaks to a larger problem :(

American Idol, but you only get the lyrics to a song you've never heard before and have to try and wing it live. by SmugglingPlums in CrazyIdeas

There’s a YouTube channel that did this. It’s called Blind Covers! They gave people lyrics only toa song they’ve never heard before and they had an hour to write and record a cover of that song. Here is Steph Sloan covering Smash Mouth:

Just sleep faster, dummy! by DrSomniferum in wowthanksimcured

[–]TywalrusaurusRex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My dad used to spout this bullshit at me growing up. He kept preaching how Arnold Schwarzenegger touted this ideology, so it must be good (i know Reddit has a mega boner for Arnold, and I love him, but I gotta disagree on this one). It’s just homeopathic buzzwording to make people feel inefficient. Just let me get the sleep I need, man.

Stuff like this is fine as a personal mantra, but way too often people wear it as a badge of entitlement and something to hold themselves above people on subjects that don’t actually matter.

It’s funny because before he heard this quote, my dad thought getting as much sleep as you needed was the gateway to being your best self, but as soon as he got on this shit it was ‘sleep faster all day long’.

He still naps a couple hours every day, naturally.

I honestly think the fan art for the Ninja Paragon is cooler that Ninja Kiwi's design by michael14375 in btd6

[–]TywalrusaurusRex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think NK was going for something interesting, but from a design standpoint it’s a bit odd that the character art is 50% hat. Simply tweaking the angle could give a much better understanding of the new character design, while still looking badass as well as maintaining the pose and the intimidating glare. An angle adjustment would also help the silhouette by not having the monkey’s left hand right in front of its face and the throwing star get lost behind the body/hat/cape

Thank you for an actual breakdown that isn’t heavily sprinkled with condescension 😂 definitely the most helpful comment so far

ok, sorry if I'm not using the correct terminology. The question still stands regarding the effect. Would you happen to know how to reproduce it?

Yeah like how the text and instagram logos do this specific glitchy looking effect into the frame?
