    I think the most adorable memory from back when I met Patty is when she showed me an episode of Flapjack and just kind of intently watched me watching it, and when it got to the part with the mermaid I guess I only cracked a smile and she let out an incredibly genuine "Noooooooooo you're supposed to laugh!"

    I would suggest that this is because to most it doesn't qualify as a joke in order that one might acknowledge it.

    Like, quoting the Simpons is an allusion to source material intended to be humorous, it' snot clear that this is even that

    No see it's funny because she listed vampire weekend in music she likes but also she didn't use any commas in her profile.

    Now laugh

    Now I see, it is some gentle humour. A-ha.

    However, let's draw the Venn diagram of the ideal target

    You're assuming I even want to meet a girl who doesn't get the joke!

    The fluffy bunny insult is odd. I should ask my pagan friends about it sometime.

    In case not yet clear:

    Fluff bunny sounds is another name for dust bunny.

    It refers to the wiccans who care more about the aesthetics than the practice - they are all "fluff", no substance. It encompasses a large number of possible kinds of inauthenticity perceived by the speaker and like no true feminist/republican/bdsm lifer acid testing is generally divisive. Everyone is fluff bunny compared to you, online. As an outsider one occasionally wonders whether they aren't all do for bunnies because faith in Wiccan stuff seems extra strength silly - but this is, again, probably a failure of imagination. In another way, most definitely are because they identify with Wiccan spiritualism for reasons other than initially believing it's truth - like its feminist underpinnings, or rejection of Christianity or it's fictional age or a virtue in beliefs of ancient or exotic peoples.

    I feel like the requirement for the set up:
    1. Has no commas or otherwise poor punctuation
    2. Likes or would appreciate correction upon or reference to punctuation

    Narrows the field considerably

    You care less about your significant other sharing your taste in things as you get older. In part, it's because you're more mature, more confident in your own taste and happy to enjoy things on your own rather than sharing everything with your SO, so you stop dragging them to beloved movies they won't like and you stop pressing cherished books on them they'll find tedious.

    And in part it's because you are getting old and your hopes and dreams of finding the perfect match wither and die on the vine, and you find yourself clutching at someone, anyone who seems like they might be bearable company as you slowly stumble towards the open grave and complete oblivion you know is your destiny.

    I find that one of the more cathartic feelings one can have is experiencing something that someone else is also experiencing, and both of us are having the same feelings from it.

    Obviously, realistically you will not have (or want) an SO who only likes things that you like, but I definitely feel like I would need some overlap in interests, or at least a mutual willingness to get into some of the stuff that the other one is into. Then again, I might feel differently when I'm older.

    Eh, Apoth, actual Wiccans can give their lineage of initiation back to Gerald Gardner. Anyone claiming to be Wiccan who cannot do that is basically like someone calling themselves a Jew, except they're Greek, and worship Zeus.

    Cue various arguments about how they too should have the right to use the OE word for a male witch.

    I have no idea what the ones on the left are showing. The next column is awful, except the bottom one, and seems to be variations on a theme of 'what can you find abandoned on a beach'. Next column looks like pictures from a slow child's reading book SEE THE BOAT SEE THE BOAT MOVE. Next column is OK, followed by THE SUN, followed by OH GOD NO THE SUN IS GOING TO HIT US followed by a picture of the trail Tinkerbell leaves. Final column is nonsense, followed by OK, followed by a star because nothing says Fiji like a star.
