I'm going to go on Tinder and tell every match that I'm looking at their pics and I'm rock hard

I'm guessing it'll lead to long term relationships

And then your second message should be: "Send nudes."

Nothing will go wrong.

 

[Chuckie]

How is "strict" a compliment in any way unless you're into BDSM?

Yeah it smells of BDSM. Maybe it is his awkward way of showing what kind of girls he likes (the strict kind).

Still sounds rather innocent though. But I am not into Tinder and all that stuff...so I don't know shit.

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

Yes.

But Naomi Woods was in several hot porn videos.

Mullholland Drive > porn

 

[Misha]

Like, I'm going to go on Tinder and match up with people and open with:

"I like your pictures, you look very severe and sturdy, is that okay?"

and see what responses I get.

How is "strict" a compliment in any way unless you're into BDSM?

there could be a perference for that look without actually wanting bdsm and at least he's asking if she considers it a compliment (or he could be fishing to see if she's into bdsm)


the "turned on" part is what i'd be most concerned about

I mean, at least the guy is making his intentions clear, I guess it's actually decent of him in a sense

BTW I need a new shower head. help.

the "turned on" part is what i'd be most concerned about

It's nothing to be concerned about. It's a clear declaration of intent. You're either in it for the same reason or you're not

Mullholland Drive > porn

IIRC it's basically the same thing

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

IIRC it's basically the same thing

...what the hell kind of porn do you watch?

 

[marrec]

Just found out that Béatrice Martin composed the soundtrack for Child of Light and performed some songs on it.

I'm done, I'm fucking done.

Time to get on Tinder and drown my sorrows in strange.

 

[Jobbs]

...what the hell kind of porn do you watch?

None. Even if I was curious I don't go to shady websites, period

edit: I've seen porn of course, but I don't watch it regularly, so "none" in that sense

 

[Misha]

sometimes i wonder if we speak the same language. by "most concerned about" i was saying its the thing to pay the most attention to. "concerned with/about", in american english at least, can simply mean what you're focused on

You just now found that out, bruh? Fake stan.

That's actually how I first got into her. Pilgrims on a Long Journey is immense.

Pft, I've been into her since Blonde came out in 2011, I just had no idea she did Child of Light's soundtrack too. That was one of the best things about that game.

you're a really bad troll. you know that?

Truf.

I still listen to that OST on the reg. It's so fucking perfect.

 

[Jobbs]

you're a really bad troll. you know that?

Being concerned about something means you're worried about it. You can say "concerning" to mean what you mean, (e.g. "Concerning Hobbits") but "concerned" means something different.

I wasn't aware I was trolling

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

What the fuck is that pronunciation

Misha and Jobbs fighting, me thristing, Vaz being wonderful, Trab matching with an increasingly weird hockey fan on Tinder, Dragonz finding a new love for Yara, RNH being a bit gay, HP having doubts about his kickstarter... Transhuman having a perfect video response for every post... hmm... that's the only recollection I have tbh.

"concerning" uses the root concern which can indeed be used that way

concerned with
as in occupying
as in touch
absorbing

Common Informal
Synonyms for concerned with
adj engaging attention
absorbing, attracting, drawing, engaging, engrossing, exacting, exciting, focusing, interesting, monopolizing, requiring, utilizing

"about" doesn't seem to have nearly the references online but it is definitely used and tbf its more often to be used negatively but if you're looking for an exclusively negative phrase that would be "concerned by"

I've never heard anyone say "I'm concerned about this guy" and not have it mean they're worried about the guy. Not once. So maybe we are speaking different languages or it's regional.

Sorry if my response was agitating

I wouldn't concern yourself too much with Jobbs being wrong, you'd never have any free time if you did

"Concern with" and "concerning" are different from "concerned about".. 0/10

If you think "I'm concerned about the animals outside" means you're just thinking about them and not at all worried, then I don't know what to tell you

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

"Concern with" and "concerning" are different from "concerned about".. 0/10

It's very concerning that you feel that way

 

[Jobbs]

It's very concerning that you feel that way

So if I say the phrase "I'm concerned about this line on the text" you hear "I'm thinking about this line on the text, but not worried about it"

yes/no?

 

[You Know Nothing]

It's the first. To be "concerned about" is the exact same as to be "worried about."

And as the Official Arbiter of the English Language, I declare this fruitless debate closed.

think of it more of "i'm going to pay close attention to". usually the implication is worry but not necessarily.
(but i still would have been better off saying "with" than "about" since with is way more common in that way)

the more annoying thing btw is you cherry picking the definition when every dictionary has more options than just worry

I wouldn't concern yourself too much with Jobbs being wrong, you'd never have any free time if you did

but i like correcting people

But you're 100% wrong. You said this:

the "turned on" part is what i'd be most concerned about

And hten claimed it meant you're paying attention to that part but not worried about it.

Uh??

 

[RobotNinjaHornets]

So why is everyone telling me I'm wrong?

Because it's fun

sorry Em. I recognize the ridiculousness of it but I hate being referred to as wrong when I'm not, it's a flaw

if someone argues me on something like this and proves themselves right, I'll admit they're right and concede defeat. This literally happened the other day ITT.

I didn't contradict myself so i have no idea what the point of that post is

At this point I just wanna suck good 200 separate proteins, as well as vitamins and minerals including vitamin C, calcium, chlorine, citric acid, fructose, lactic acid, magnesium, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, vitamin B12, and zinc out of a d.

Do you remember how this exchange started? You said the part I posted, I rightly took it to mean "worried about", and then you said we speak two different languages. That's the whole reason we're talking about this.

Anyway, I think you're trolling now, TBH, so I'll drop it

Oh right yeah that

Fun fact: I act jokingly gay quite a lot. Especially with one friend. I dunno why.

For real, back to hot actresses and Trab's gimp.

 

[SystemBug]

Yo that MySpace angle actually works lol

 

[zeemumu]

I've been screwing around with lucid dreaming on and off for a bit. Takes a lot of focus but it's been pretty useful for working through shit like social anxiety. Back in the day I only used it to build stuff and give myself super powers.

You can put the French to use in parts of Canada! It might get you laid! Maybe!

Damn, that puts things in perspective lol

I just feel like I should probably do something like that more because I want to improve myself, rather than a silly celebrity crush on a gay woman from Montreal.

Legit though I really like learning French so it worked out.
