Masks only protect other people from your own germs, not really vice versa. If I’m not sick, there’s no reason for me to be wearing the mask.

It’d be nice if people showed consideration for public health but it seems like the average person doesn’t give a shit and mask-wearing is now (unfortunately) a political statement, which I think disincentivizes wearing one even further for those that don’t care.

The original is basically the same as this meme but more condensed.

The woman is able to flag down several vehicles not because the distress of a fellow human being roused the (presumably) men piloting the vehicles to help her, but because they are enticed by the implicit suggestion that her mere presence (or rather, the mere presence of a prototypical “slut,” i.e., a promiscuous/sexually indiscriminate woman) may mean that they get to have sex with her.

It’s demonstrating sexual objectification of women in a humourous way.

To me, when it uses the exact same rhetoric as the people who take it seriously, it’s not really a joke. Or at least it’s not a funny joke.

“Haha, bisexuality contradicts non-binary identity,” isn’t really funny to me because a) it’s not true, and b) I’ve seen cisgender bisexual people seriously put forth this notion in an effort to reduce support for transgender people. The “drop the T” movement has used almost your exact same language to try to illustrate through humour that trans people don’t belong.

I’ll admit I’m sensitive, but these phrases aren’t really jokes. It’s basic (and lame) wordplay at best. It’s inherently stale, like the “I identify as an attack helicopter” and “don’t assume my gender” crap.

It means bisexual, as in being attracted to your own gender and other genders. Here’s a link for you to learn that bisexuality is more than just a gotcha you can use against trans people: https://bi.org/en/101

Yeah, I completely agree that someone who is 18-20 just doesn’t have the life experience to know a lot about relationships in general.

My wife dated a guy who was in his mid-40s when she was 18 and, with hindsight, it seems like her inexperience with life, intimacy, and relationships was actually something he was looking for (gross).

I guess I assumed that the person OP likes is at least in their mid-20s. I mostly added the legal adult part to cover my ass in case a snarky commenter was like, “oh what if she’s 16?” trying to be smart.

As long as she’s a legal adult within 15 or so years of you, she can’t be too young IMO. If she likes you, that’s her choice. Unless the workplace aspect bothers you, what’s the harm?

I dunno, I’m 28. I’d date someone who’s 43. Just tossing in my 2 cents.
