Welcome to General Memes

Memes for the masses, chuckles for the chosen.

Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cruel

We’re here for laughs, not fights.

No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
Keep it light — argue in the comments, not with insults

Rule 2: No Forbidden Formats

Not every image deserves immortality on the memmlefield. That means:

No spam or scams
No porn or sexually explicit content
No illegal content (seriously, don’t ruin the fun)
NSFW memes must be properly tagged

If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can take care of it.

Otherwise consider this your call to duty. Get posting or laughing. Up to you

That's kinda funny actually, although kinda sleazy.

I wonder if the staff managed to hint to the dates that he's a regular.

Time for a nice, casual, "Hey, Mike! Good to see you again! So, the usual?"

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 10 points 4 hours ago

That's what I had in mind, just casually treat him like a regular. Maybe make a point of mentioning any new challenges he hasn't done yet.

Haha and then modify the room so that many original puzzles will be red herrings

idiot

Ableist.

Eade the Nazi is probably correct.
Who honestly take their 1st date at a trauma room‽
My first day activities are normal things like libraries, canteens, playgrounds, theatres, parks, etc.. Escape room tests like these feel like 2nd base friends kinda materials.

Sadly most people are fine with 'soft' ableism, and don't want to make the effort to change and get annoyed when it's called out.

Some good sources for people wanting to use more accepting language:

First date in a library? Nice place to get to know each other is a place where you have to be quiet?

[–] waltersf@bookwyr.me 4 points 3 hours ago

Modern libraries have study booths you can hangout with others and be a tad loud as they have soundproof tech. As a bookworm myself, I want to learn what a partner likes to read, share our discoveries together, our musings, etc..
We can also sign for when we need to be inaudible.

So now your gatekeeping dating preferences? It's a really weird you've chosen to die on here.

[–] waltersf@bookwyr.me 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

what‽ How in blazes is belittling people and vanguarding related‽

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

You're the one choosing to view it as belittling, that's your problem. It's an original, and perfectly valid dating option, it gives you a fun story to tell people, you get to know how each other think, and you have an objective which removes some social awkwardness if you don't know what to talk about.

You should also probably not using terabang at the end of every sentence, I know that you're really proud that you figured out how to type it, but you're overdoing it.

[–] waltersf@bookwyr.me 1 points 1 hour ago

Did we read the same tweets? ShesLaurenK is “gatekeeping” his dating pool by calling his first dates “idiots” and being unable to handle the pressure of being isolated with someone as digressive victimizer as himself.

Eade at the least did some investigation to check if the tweet had any validity, to find out he’s been reverse his narrative, belittling the dates & the escape room staff.

Also, read my bio once again, since it seems a grammarist has a preference on how I choose to express my shock reading non sequiturs in the 21c.

Ableist is fuckin hilarious. I bet you've got a little bit of drool leaking out your mouth

[–] Wildmimic@anarchist.nexus 5 points 4 hours ago

This is really getting ridiculous. Last time i had someone tell me i am ableist after using ADD in a hypothetical scenario because the specific traits and challenges of ADD fit the situation too good to not use the term (and i used it because i seem to fulfill 9/9 medical criteria for ADD and it was simply the first thing i thought of because of my own experience with the symptoms)
