It’s a very niche meme, but if it fits anywhere, it’s this thread!
I used to be like “I won’t date people whose profile has astrology stuff in it”, I’m a hair away from extending that to “people who use therapy language in their profile”
I would pretty much assume someone was a narcissist if thet explicitly wanted to avoid language that could hold them accountable
That sounds more like a theseist. Narcissus didn’t want to use online dating, he actually didn’t want to date anyone. People kept asking him out and he always said no. According to Conon he “rejected Eros”, which is a fucked up religious way to say he was aroace.
Narcissus was a mythological figure known for his self-obsession, but ordinary narcissists can’t be self-contained like that; they need other people to support their self-obsession.
Oh, you mean the mental disorder? Narcissistic Personality Disorder?
Yeah, you shouldn’t be using that word if you don’t have NPD. The APA recommends person-first language (person with NPD) or identity-first language (narcissistic person). Label-only language promotes stigma, prejudice, and hatred. You shouldn’t promote hatred against people with mental disorders.
Oh! Narcissistic behaviour in the wild.
Asking people to use person first language for mental disorders is extremely normal. It’s weird that you’re not used to it by now. It’s 2026.
Is this a joke?
Also the “only good vibes” people. Those people are usually toxic as fuck
Would you elaborate?
There are terms I’ve had psych professionals use with me in a clinical context that lots of people use in casual conversation in ways that range from counterproductive to abusive.
Also people who are insistent that everybody needs to have a therapist their whole life, including you, aren’t necessarily respectful of what you’ve been through or what treatment you have sought.
I think there are a lot of power trippy therapists out there and IME non credentialed people who like using those terms are not ppl it’s a good idea for me to date.
Also I think astrology is just dumb and completely uninteresting. Now, if someone wanted to ask my favorite alchemical process, that’s different (it’s rubedo, obviously).
rubedo is for dorks. Assation gang 4 lyfe
What’s your favourite and least favourite non-explosive chemical reactions?
Maillard is probably my fave, fruit surface oxidation probably my least.
HBU?
Maybe this doesn’t count, but I like dissolving / saturating things like sugar and coffee, and dislike oxygen to ozone ionisation.
Possibly the best joke in Season 8
I’m out of the loop. What’s happening?
The left image refers to a pun joking about astrology (“Mercury retrograde” -> “Mercury in Gatorade”).
The right one refers to how basically the food (and related) supply in the U.S. is poisoned, and everyday the news is basically someone spinning two wheels, one with the name of a food, and another one with the name of a disease.
Though it has to do with undeclared dye, it’s not uncommon for US foods to have more serious contaminants
I know that part of it but what’s the 2016 half?
There are times where an optical illusion makes it appear that the planet Mercury is in retrograde (when a planet reverses its orbit)
Mercury went in retrograde in 2016?
The year is arbitrarily 10 years ago for comedic effect
Ah, thank you!
No worries!
It’s an astrology pun
Mercury appears retrograde roughly every 4 months, for a period of about 3 weeks
According to OP it’s a play on the term “in retrograde” which is used in astrology and astronomy
Oh. I thought it was a joke or something. It’s real.

Oh shit. My comment might confuse people. I’m going to delete
Let’s erase evidence together ☺️🫴
For anyone wondering: they both agreed that the moon landings were faked and exchanged numbers to hook up in a mcdonalds bathroom later
That’s disgusting. It was a Burger King bathroom, not McDonald’s
