    It’s not acting like children. It’s acting like adults. Most adults use subtlety for a variety of reasons. Personal safety and letting someone down gently are just two that come to mind.

    You can want everyone to have a standard API with nice json output, but that’s just not how humans are. Expecting it is folly.

      Giving peolple the wrong “hints” because they are completely subjective is a childish thing to do in place of communication.

        My fellow sapient, do you engage with real people in the world? Your position has merit in a “imagine a frictionless, spherical cow for this physics problem” kind of sense, but is absolutely unrelated to the real world of humanity the entire time we’ve existed, and probably going back to earlier primates as well.

          I talk to people every day.

          It’s not acceptable to hit on people who are trying to do their errands or their jobs.

          There are acceptable places to meet people (bars, clubs, dating events)

          Do not target women and approach them to try to fuck them in public when they are minding their own buisness please.

            Those are true statements, but seem to be a whole other topic from what we were talking about. You were rejecting the ideas of body language and subtlety by saying that’s asking for mind reading and childish.

              People can not read body language, you shouldn’t assume anything based on body language ever.

              I bet you’re one of those people who also push the definitons of consent and equality.

              Im done giving you attention troll. I hope no woman has to suffer you stalking and trying to fuck them in public when they are just trying to exist.

                You are making some wild assumptions about me. At no point did I ever say it was appropriate to engage women who are just living their lives in public. In fact, in the post you’re replying to, I said I agreed with you.

                Body language has been a part of humanity since before modern humans existed. You can tell, I hope, the difference between a frown and a smile.
