Why isn't it just common practice to just use "they" instead the entirely cumbersome "he/her"?

Like it's just so much easier to type out and say, and it's just better to use regardless.

[-] Tyoda@lemm.ee 31 points 3 months ago

The fun part is that you'll have people complaining about it either way!

[-] xmunk@sh.itjust.works 28 points 3 months ago

Yea, but the people who complain about "they" are assholes so we can safely ignore them.

Not only is it more readable and aesthetically-pleasing, singular "they" is more inclusive of people outside the gender binary!

[-] faultypidgeon@programming.dev 5 points 3 months ago

Love how the top comment doesn't even answer the question. But TIL, I guess. If I had known this option existed, I probably would have used it. I'm going to play the "not a native english speaker"-card on this one.

Darude Sandstorm.

Not even joking

You can always use the recorder cover to see if they make a comment about liking the real version.

None!

There should be no guilty pleasures in music. Especially dating. It's much more attractive to have a wide range of tastes and be comfortable with what you like.

If I have to hate a reasonably decent pop rock band to earn points I shouldn't even be on the date.

[-] fckreddit@lemmy.ml 5 points 3 months ago

I don't have a baseline when it comes to pop songs. Also, I have never been on a date anyways. So, it's all good.

[-] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 3 months ago

I'm personally not a fan of most of their albums, but I have to say that put on a great live show. They started as a cover band and last I saw them, they did a bunch of covers of 70-80s rock, all of which were very well done.

[-] andrewta@lemmy.world 14 points 3 months ago

Doesn't exist. I tell them what I like. If they can't handle the truth then it wouldn't work anyway.

I also don't have guilty pleasures. I enjoy things.

[-] Karcinogen@discuss.tchncs.de 12 points 3 months ago

My workout playlist consists of anime openings and Power Metal. I don't watch anime nor play D&D, but I like the fast-paced and fantasy/superhero style.

Obviously the ska.

So I put my hands up. They're playin' my song, the butterflies fly away. I'm noddin' my head like, yeah. Movin' my hips like, yeah. I got my hands up, they're playin' my song. They know I'm gonna be okay. Yeah, it's a party in the U.S.A. Yeah, it's a party in the U.S.A.

I have a philosophy to always expose my craziest parts cuz if they dont like them it eventually wont work anyway so id play cupcakke x mario kart remixes for them

[-] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 8 points 3 months ago

I appreciate this and will do the same. 10 hours of They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard. Anyone who can make it at least 3 hours and is singing along instead of stabbing me is a go for date two.

[-] pimeys@lemmy.nauk.io 8 points 3 months ago

Steely Dan. The worst part would be I won't stop talking about the drum solo in Aja.

I have some Brittany Spears and Backstreet Boys on my gym mix.

[-] nickwitha_k@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 3 months ago

It's your first date and she/he asks what type of music you like. What's the guilty pleasure you won't tell her/him about?

I love music and hate but being myself (AuADHD weeeee) so, they're going to hear an honest answer. If they're not down with my love of folk punk and what I classify as "shitty punk rock" (you just the kind - overly-compressed, terribly mixed, played by people who barely know how to tune a guitar), well, that's fair enough. Same as if they aren't up for my, AuADHD - neurodivergence can be a bit to handle.

I'd rather listen to Raditude than Pinkerton...

[-] everett@lemmy.ml 4 points 3 months ago

Just casually admitting crimes in public.

[-] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 4 points 3 months ago

I see why. I think that sentence just broke my brain a little.

[-] SidewaysHighways@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Holy mackerel

[-] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

depends, but I usually don't reference more of the occasional things I listen to , less of the electronic/breakcore or experimental/obviously avant garde (less Secret chiefs 3, more crossfire duo )

EDIT : my wife doesn't mind the tech death/grindcore, she does mind the free jazz/avant garde classical

[-] realcaseyrollins@thelemmy.club 5 points 3 months ago

Hyperpop. I'm a Christian and only date other Christians and many of those songs have pretty lewd lyrics.

Carmeldansen in its original form is legitimately a good song and I actually love the whole album its from.

I love singing Kalinika... I'd probably avoid mentioning it because Russia is an authoritarian state that likely wouldn't approve of me dating the person I'm talking to. Also, the Russian government sucks in like a billion other ways.

Metro Station - Shake It

[-] Pooptimist@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

2000 - 2010's indie rock/pop like the kooks, mando diao, vampire weekend, etc
