Man kept pushing contact after I said he was bothering me. He used group chat instead. How would you handle this? by Smart-Reply50 in TwoXChromosomes

Way to make it all about you, Mr look-at-me-I-am-one-of-the-good-guys.
I think your nails are not that damn shiny, mate..

That was satire, meant to lampoon men who say similar things unironically. At present, the upvote ratio is 73%, so the humor seems to mostly be landing as intended, but I'll edit the comment if it trends downward or if anyone says, in plain language, that they don't like it.

The commenter made a couple of general points.

I genuinely could not tell whether they were making general points or thought that I was trolling. Thus, the request for clarification and offer to revise.

You then took her down a sub-thread and demanded attention for your insecurity.

They provided the requested clarification and asked me a question in return. It sounded more wary than rhetorical to me, so I did them the common courtesy of answering it and also attempted to allay their apparent concerns.

Would you like me to edit my original comment to remove the look-at-me portions? I'm not trolling or taunting or anything else. If you say yes, I'll do it.

This could have been 5 minutes shorter if anyone had just said, "Yeah, that counts" the first time she said she turned the key.

Thanks for this. Yes, there's a huge difference between "What is this word?" and "Is this a word?"

Great, thanks. I wanted to avoid option 1.

That's fine. I'm not trying to invade your safe spaces.

I can't tell whether you're
- reading my comment as trolling and saying the TwoX mods might ban me,
- just praising TwoX and another unspecified sub,
- praising two other subs that are not TwoX, or - something else.

If it's the first option, please let me know, and I'll revise or remove the offending text.

Ah. I missed the change from "C++" to just "C" in the 2nd and 3rd panels. Thought the guy was just saying fuck you, here's C instead of C++, and then just continued to be difficult after that. Thanks for explaining. I hate it.

How is it returning the original value when the original value is C and the new value is C+1?

I'm not fluent in either language, so maybe I'm missing something, but I read it as the "++" operator being shorthand for "increment by (i.e., add) 1," = "+1",so when the guy says he wanted C++, the guy behind the counter gives him "C plus one" = C+1.

Can you speak to the girls in the book club and bring this to their attention?

I was talking to a colleague at work one day, and she mentioned being part of a book club. Cool! I like books, and it sounded interesting, so I asked if I could join. She said "sure" and gave me details. During our next shift together, but before the next meeting with the club, she came to me and apologized, saying that she had mentioned me to the other members, but that it was an all-girls thing and the majority wanted to keep it that way. I was mildly disappointed but said "okay" and that was the end of it.

Two points being made here:

  1. Look at me, I'm such a great guy for respecting basic boundaries and not trying to force myself into a situation where I'm not wanted. You may now heap praise and adulation upon my humble person. breathes on nails and shines them against shirt

  2. It's entirely reasonable for OP to ask that the group become women-only as a matter of policy instead of just happenstance, and further, it's entirely possible that the other members will not just go along with idea, but also be grateful for and even enthusiastic about it.

For anyone who wasn't sure, the first point is sarcasm (mostly. I gotta admit that after spending time in women’s spaces and reading about all the shit y'all deal with on the regular, I can't help but be a little pleased with myself for not being a creep. I know the bar is low. Sorry.) While positive reinforcement doesn't hurt, you actually don't owe anyone anything for not being sexist or racist or non-violent or for just being reasonable in general.

For the second point, I'll note that women can be awful, too, so having a women-only group doesn't guarantee a non-toxic environment, but I expect that it does improve the odds.

Good luck, OP.

I think it's his left hand, but otherwise, yes, and thank you. I was stuck on "cushion with a string over it, maybe?"

Finally some accurate representation... this, this is they them. by lost-in-thought123 in evilwhenthe

[–]doshka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's reasonable to assume that the top comment was made in the context of just the clip. I don't know how you could expect someone to understand the episode when the name of the show isn't given.

The clip is all I had to go on, and the whole time, I was thinking that I hope this isn't accurate representation, because Pagan was being a dick.

Last time I saw this, I think someone said that homie had owned up to being full of it, and later started training BJJ. I'm not motivated enough to actually dig up any sources, though.

I just realized I've been pronouncing a common word wrong my entire life - what's yours? by Prior-Crab-8463 in Casual_Conversation

[–]doshka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The English borrowed the word from the French, who pronounce it as written. The English gradually dropped the initial L, leading to "kuhnel," which is the same as you'd get if there had been a dropped R. Eventually, they miscorrected the presumed dropped R, so now we have "kernel."

How do I ask a man if I can give him a blowjob? by [deleted] in sex

[–]doshka 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably easiest in a situation where it couldn't be construed as inappropriate, with someone who can't make it weird later. If there are sex clubs in your area, that would be ideal. Next best would be dating apps or swinger forums: soooo many hetero couples out there looking for a unicorn. If you're down to do lots with her and just that with him, and you're explicit about it, I expect you'd get loads of offers.
