I'm just imagining the least romantic relationship ever. What do people in ultra-progressive relationships actually say if they cant handle being complimented?

TheMostFrench

Just the whole attitude of it winds me up. You could apply the logic of this comic to any compliment to make it seem backhanded -
"You are a nice person" "Are you saying other people aren't nice?"
"I like you" "Are you suggesting that other people are unlikable?"

The whole 'it implies that if she engages in the same behaviour as 'other girls' she will lose her value' is just dumb as hell and I feel really badly for someone who constantly walks around with the need to deconstruct the language of other people looking for perceived insults.

Like, a loving relationship IS a comparison and value exercise! Why else would you choose any one person over others if there wasn't something about them that stood out to you? Does the woman in this comic go on to find someone else who says "You are just like other people, which is ok because all people are good" because to me that is what sounds backhanded, AND she would be devaluing her original partner if she were to go and find someone else, because he acted in a way that she didn't like. Also, her new relationship partner doesn't actually have to like anything about her (because everyone has likable traits!), so it wouldn't be fair to those other people if he were to suggest that her traits are better than theirs.

I've spent way too long thinking about this, but that's because its so loving stupid and I have the whole day off.

It might be a setting in their phones that got hosed or something. If I put a fullstop, but then delete it, the phone still wants to use a capital as the next letter as though it were a new sentence. It still doesn't explain doing it for every single word though.

Someone shared this saying that they totally agree -
http://www.huffingtonpost.com.au/sarah-kendall/technology-has-made-so-many-old-movies-impossible-to-watch_a_21903806/

Heres a quote:

quote:

"The film is set in the year it was made; 1995. It's a sweet movie about two young people who meet on a train and then spend one day and one night together in Vienna. The charming simplicity of the story would be impossible to set in the present day. Two people just talking.

Even the start of the movie feels highly unlikely. They meet on a train -- they're both reading. No headphones, no movies, no games. No iPhones, no texting or email or Twitter or... you get the picture. They're just reading their books and occasionally looking out the window when they both overhear a weird and amusing conversation in their train carriage. Dramatically, this is a great opportunity for two people to start talking, but it would never happen these days. I've been so engrossed in watching 'The Bridge' on train journeys that the person sitting next to me could be on fire and I wouldn't notice. Unless they were being noisy, or if some of the flames started to leap onto my belongings, in which case I might shoot them a look.

In the movie, these two charming young people start chatting, get along well, jump out at a train station and go for a wander. No Google Maps, no website that suggests a café with an average user rating of 4.5 stars -- they just walk aimlessly and find their own way through the city."

I'm so sad that there are people who think that talking to strangers or wandering around a new place 'never happens' or is 'impossible'.

This is a bit out of order, but green tries to make the point that gender doesn't matter and people are people and representation isn't important, since that always goes well. (Red is just 'everyone else')

It didn't take long for them to turn puppet master.







Pink tries to defuse the situation!





This went on for about 500 comments, until green declared themselves the winner the next day. (Blue tried to dissect greens posts for logic).

I'm tired of everybody always claiming they went on an "adventure".

Adventure:
1. an unusual and exciting, typically hazardous, experience or activity.

Typically hazardous. Spending the day downtown and trying a new ice cream shop is not an adventure. Walking around in the drainage culvert behind your house is not an adventure, unless you're 5.



But there are germs outside!

The sad part to me is the 'updated five years ago'. No adventuring since :(
