    I had to read that 5 times to figure out there as a missing period between “working” and “time”.

    Its still funny though. While we’re here in this comment, let me tell you some fascinating things about the B-29 you’re standing next to. Did you know that during the war…

        Yeah it’s especially annoying when people write long winding complicated sentences and use no punctuation signs whatsoever it’s so infuriating!

          I don’t… know which, is worse… too much punctuation, or, not enough punctuation…

            Definitely none. While your comment is annoying, at least it’s legible without needing to be read 17 times.

              Also, the run on sentences aren’t that bad it’s the multiple sentences with a missing period between the two that suck.

        I’m noticing a disturbing lack of punctuation recently.

        With inflation raising the costs of everything, should we really be surprised that people can’t afford to waste expensive punctuation on memes?

      At first, I was trying to figure out what “working time” meant here and thought it must be some other gen-z slang my old ass doesn’t understand.

    This would work on me if I wasn’t just going to have a pleasant discussion about the airplanes and then tell her to have a nice day, because I’m not going to just assume she’s into me because we both like old airplanes.

      I once got a tattoo from an artist who was cute and, in hindsight, clearly into me. Just the two of us in the shop, showing me photos of other designs while leaning very close, etc.

      I commended her artwork, paid for the ink and left. Still kick myself thinking about it, we are not the most intuitive creatures.

        And you didn’t because then you’d just be another customer hitting on someone who’s just trying to do her job. Just like I’d just be another asshole hitting on a woman who’s just trying to enjoy airplanes.

        Similar story for me

        I was in a hostel in Berlin and I’d had a fun time with this girl and a few others in a bar the night before. She had a nice tattoo on her arm and I complimented on it, she then took off most of her clothes and showed me her other tattoos but I didn’t think they were as nice though I politely said they were nice. I then went out to get breakfast leaving this poor girl in her underwear

      That’s fine, that’s what we want you to do.

      We use the purely platonic conversation to get a sense of what level of compatibility there might be. Something physical, something more, what are we feeling.

      Sometimes the companionship of a conversation is enough and we’re both happy to say “this was a lovely chat, bye, have a nice day”

      But occasionally… “thanks for chatting to me, hey I don’t suppose you’d want to come over one day and check out the recreation prop kittyhawk my brother and I are building? I’m stuck in the shop alone on Saturday if you’d like to keep me company and tell me more about old airplanes.”

        Honestly, if I met someone there I’d want to make friends with her, so that she can tell all her friends what a great guy I am.

        If she wants me she can always just tell me. And, at a minimum, girls are easier to look at and generally smell better than guys so I prefer women as friends to men.

      Take your kid to the playground.

      It’s a perfect equivalent, because you’ll get the occasional sexist saying vile things and forcing you to leave, too! But mostly, women will fawn over you.

        When I was a teenager, I used to walk my grandma’s cute dog past the nearby all-girls school when the girls were coming out at the end of the schoolday.

        Guy with cute dog + dozens of girls around = loads of attention ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

        It’s funny, two things that made it infinitely easier to pick up women were my wedding ring and my kids. Of course it’s probably the complete lack of pressure, knowing I’m not actually picking up anyone. Always been a confidence issue.

      in my personal experience, going to cooking/baking classes for the general public, as in not some school/academy. I like to cook and decided to find out if something like this existed where I lived. I found a couple and went to the two that had the more interesting information/description online from the person running the classes, and customer comments.

      It ranged from 50/50 to 20/80, men to women, in almost every class. Also, an extended family member of mine has run art classes for a long time now and he says those are very popular with women.

    It’s like anything adjacent to weapons or martial arts. The “experts” will pour out of the woodwork and bombard you with AKSHUALLY’s…even though all you did was post a silly meme.

      My current META for this is just saying “Do you know about <thing>?” wait for their response and if they know we’re done! If they say “No” I then ask “Do ya wanna hear about it? Approx listening time <x> minutes!” and respect their answer.

      It’s about etiquette and giving them a choice. You have to be prepared for them to say “no” to hearing about that thing you’d like to info dump about. It’s not that dissimilar to getting consent if you think about it, it’s rude to just start shoving your information into their brainhole, so to speak lol

      I mean it’s polite to ask what she knows about it first. I mean mansplaining is rude, but it’s also just kind of annoying to have to explain things to people who already know it. Much better to have a conversation and skip that part so you can just get to talking on a level playing field.

        Well the issue with that is how I’ll encounter someone who tells me they already know all about it and then they go acting like they know absolutely nothing.
