One time my friend, who worked for her dad but also other places said "Mark, I have a crush on my boss and I don't know what to do."

Oh my! He's a very odd man. I can't get my head around his motivation. If he really wants to protest this, "radical homosexual agenda" you'd think he'd have bigger fish to fry.

Wait, why was the left shark the hit? What did the left one do that was so special?

The ideal voice was and always has been HAL9000's(Douglass Rain). Rod Serling would be cool too.

did I miss the sarcasm? sorrryyyyy ):

See, I'm on the opposite end of things here.

I know some people who sort of fetishize the military and police. They tend to use it too in an attempt to emulate their behavior. It's an easy linguistic tic to adopt to make one sound sort of "official" while still being full of shit. I'm not suggesting that's the sum of all usage by any stretch, however.

Can't say my sample size is that large, so it might be a weirdness of the cops and medical personnel I know personally for all I know. Also, particularly with the cops, it might be hard to distinguish between habit adopted from work vs actually misogynistic (I know it would be in the particular case of my uncle).

Here's a common example: "alpha males" and "beta males." In my experience, the people who say "males" (outside of, like, medical and law enforcement situations) tend to be sexists who make bullshit generalizations based on gender, just like the people who say "females." In other words, the fact that someone says

Is that....? Did he...? Is she, um...?

It's typically an official/military context when I hear male/female in use.

Don't know many cops, do you? They use "female/male" all the time, as in "white male, roughly 30 years old, wearing a....". It's not just in their professional life. They tend to do it even when off the job.

my college gf had to yell out, "male!" When ever I was on her dorm floor. That was the rules.

Well Selma was way back then. Now that I have a black friend, and I've never made fun of him about being black, white people are officially absolved.

The only time I've heard "male" used in any comparable way is a descriptor by medical or law enforcement personnel: "Black Male presents with chest pains," "White male seen fleeing the area," and so on. And that's not usually in casual conversation, but in a formal setting where said description is important to the

If you can't communicate with words, you're not getting any. I don't think adults who use emojis constantly are cute, and if a dude were to do that I would immediately lose interest. Fortunately yilinanyou knows better. I'm sorry you got an eggplant response to a romantic text.

This just intensifies the need for a greater variety of emojis. I can't seem to find any depicting one smiling face sitting on another smiling face.

It's pretty telling that you're comparing "pretending to like skiing" to "pretending to think that women are people and deserve equality". One indicates that the person doesn't actually like to ski, the other indicates that the person is a manipulative shitbag.

What the actual fuck? Are you willfully misinterpreting me just to be an asshole?
