Don't be mean. I promise to do my best to judge that fairly.
I see this a lot in media criticism. People complaining about "plot holes" or something just not making sense, meanwhile it was explicitly pointed out or explained. I'd blame people being on their phones or something, but the truth isn't that sympathetic.
People weren't on their phones when they saw the Stormtroopers let the rebels get away from the death star so they could track them, heard one rebel say "they let us get away from the death star so they can track us," and then spent 50 years joking about how awful stormtrooper aim is
It's a good thing there's like 12-15 different scenes with stormtroopers who can't aim in the original trilogy then.
And then Disney made the joke canon because of the algorithm.
Another one of my favorites: when people read between lines that aren't there.
I said what I said, not what you heard.
Now we're arguing about what I said even though it was 5 seconds ago.
Irl I often repeat what other people say in my own words and ask them if that's what they believe. It both helps me understand where they're coming from and confirm I get them
On the Internet I almost never do.
Communication is a two way street. You can be as explicit as you want but if people are trying to win an argument instead of have a discussion they're going to misconstrue what you're saying more often than not.
I see. But 30 dollars in change are heavy and impractical to carry around. Even if it's the same value, I'd have to prefer the Bills. My wife is rather petite and has to carry around a lot of change and says it's tiresome at times.
As someone who has 30$ in bills, even they get in the way and manage to be obnoxious. There was a girl in my middleschool who had "a lot* of change and she was constantly miserable. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.
IDK if this is actually a fashion trend but, I've noticed recently some girls with $30 in bills going braless? Like dressed up professionally for office job, sans bra.
I would 100% do this.
I would be annoyed if I was unable to because I had too much change.
Yeah, a lot of women are rebelling against the idea that you have to wear a bra to look "professional". Truly people should be able to do what makes them comfortable. I wish I could go bra-less, but my back would give out before the end of the day.
The downvoters out here not getting the parable either xD
That was a really fun read. I lost some faith in humanity but it was the wavering variety anyway that comes and goes with the social tides. Tide goes in, tide goes out.
Can't explain that
I interpreted this as meaning small breasts are more value dense
Most valuable tits are the ones in your hand (with consent).
There's a saying for this. A tit in the hand is worth a hand in her bush, or something
In French we say something like "one you have is better than two you might get".
I’m so dumb. Here I am, thinking I fully understood the metaphor, and yet I read “breasts” as “beasts” and was very confused when people started mentioning boobs.
I tested in the 99th percentile for reading comprehension all through school. I also regular miss things when I read and have to go back and realize I'm a dumbass. If my comprehension is better than 99% it's very concerning.
Going back and realizing you're a dumbass is like 99% of reading comprehension. And iterative learning in general. Assuming you know everything at first blush is absolutely how shit like this happens.
The real issue is the person who gets it doesn't spell out the path of the metaphor from "which has greater mass" through to "which has greater value". It's like a text version of a sitcom plot where someone doesn't say the obvious thing that would stop the entire argument
That's a technic I call learning by figuring out. I realized some time ago that information you figure out yourself lasts longer. When some at work for example asks me something I usually only return suggestive questions. Questions wich if they answer them lead them to the answer of their questions. I always get rolling eyes when I do but it helps in two ways. First is they really manifest the wisdom so they don't need to ask me a second time and second they learn relativly fast that they have to think what to ask me and how anoying it is so they ask less frequently but more specific. People hate it but it is benefical for both sides in my opinion.
The smaller the tits, the better. Fight me.
You want concave chest craters on your ideal mate?
I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just asking.
Flat=smallest, but i am sure i simply haven't seen "concave chest craters" and would absolutely love it or something
Hey gotta respect the man for sticking to his principles
So.... a dude ?
Sadly i am not very attracted to male faces or penis 😪.
But lets be honest here, most women do not have animee tiddies. There are probably more flat chested women out there than those with very large ones. I just have to find one 🤞
Be careful, if you say that flat chested adult women exist too loudly, Steam might ban you
Big or small,
I love 'em all
i like how my interpretation is completely different to everyone else.
naturally, if you were to be carrying a unit of monetary value, you would probably want the one that requires less space, and weight, though the primary factor here is weight. (mass if you want to fucking tumblr me)
30 dollars in bills is more valuable than 30 dollars in coins because it's more portable.
They're fungible, and can be transferred into each other easily. They have the same value but different situational utility.
Value is not and cannot be derived solely based on utility in a vacuum. This is proven by the marginal utility of too many titties. While one pair of titties may have value based on their utility, each subsequent pair of titties decreases in utility, as you only have so many hands and so much time.
What a moron, obviously he doesn't understand the coins are heavier and have a higher weight value.
I feel like with all the writers and grammar Nazis there, this problem is actually very minor on Tumblr compared to the rest of the internet.
Strong grammar skills isn't the same as comprehending, though. Being able to write, being able to write well--is also not the same as comprehending what someone else has written. Let alone what someone means by what they've written.
"thatguyfromthatwebsite" seems to have read and interpreted the language properties of the greentext, but was not able to comprehend it, not able to take one single step beyond the text to what the author intends it to mean.
There's an easy experiment I've accidentally run.
Find a thread with a consensus emotion. For example, say that something is a scam, so you have outrage, mistrust, and scepticism.
Take some words from the opposite emotion, calm, trust, believe. Use them to make a point that agrees with the consensus. Watch the downvotes roll in.
People will focus on the emotions from the individual words and not think at all about their meaning as a whole.
YMMV, but I've had more issues with people being this obtuse here on Lemmy than I've ever seen on Tumblr.
Plus, Tumblr is basically all queer content creators who have been on the site for 10-14 years. Subtext is like oxygen to them at this point.
