Comment on Dik Piks

  I’m sorry, I really don’t have the time to do reading comprehension with you, I’ve put it pretty clearly in the very first Ideal I’ve listed. Also, reread my conclusion and see how much someone’s job shows up in what I’ve written.

  Have a good’un.

    You spent a whole lot of time saying “this shows how dumb men message smart women.” Yeah, that isn’t a surprise and dick pics being sent out received isn’t limited by type of person. Context doesn’t matter.

    You’re entire second paragraph is hot air that doesn’t speak to the point raised.

    Then someone calls that out and you talk down to and insult them.

    Such unearned confidence with such ignorance on display isn’t shocking. Those go together a lot on Reddit, it’s just said to see.

      Well, yes, that’s the gist of the whole diatribe, “junk pics bad.” But you seem to have missed my point entirely, too, because my point was “sending junk picks makes you look like an asshole and will probably ruin the other person’s mood.” Again, re-read my conclusion. And, just in case, that was the point of the post, too. Again, the job description only serves to drive home the point in that particular case.

      Also, I genuinely don’t see how what I’ve written is insulting. What, the fact that I apologised that I don’t have the time to do reading comprehension? Well, yeah, because I genuinely did not have the time to do reading comprehension (which, again, may have been entirely pointless even if I did have it). Are you bothered by the “reading comprehension” bit? If so, why? That’s literally what that’s called.

      You’ve jumped in defence of someone who hadn’t read the whole comment (at least I hope they didn’t read it, otherwise it’s worse!), building your argument around misunderstanding my comment (again!). The initial question was (paraphrasing): “how is the job description relevant?” And I did just that in my first paragraph - explain the ‘literary’ value of the job description as an element of this tale, what its value is in shaping the message and driving the point home. After which I returned to saying that, yes, one’d be an asshole regardless.

      The fact that YOU choose to hyperfocus on that element and not the vast tracts of text surrounding it on either side does not mean that the original text’s messaging is what you want it to be.

      Right back at you!

  Yes, that was my point!
