I always get a good laugh out of people saying this.

Context: On mah Twitter feed, I saw Rody Walker (lead vocalist for Protest the Hero) retweet a tweet to him from a guy saying he broke up with his girlfriend because she didn't like Protest the Hero. As much as I love this band, that seems really stupid.

    People exaggerate on the Internet.

    I'd totally break up with someone who didn't like Professor X  too....

    Asking as an alpha judgmental prick... how common is this?

    I mean, cause I was in a relationship with a girl who loved Smallville for two years. Should I have been expected to break up with her because we didn't have completely identical tastes?

    Where do you draw the line, though?

    What if she doesn't like it and expects you to stop liking it as well to please her?

    @Noin, there are lines, but one different interest seems like a nitpick.

    Then she's a control-freak you shouldn't be dating.

    ^Yeah, then it moves out of the realms of differing tastes and into genuine character flaws.

    No, just my Ipod bugging out on me.

    Good, 'cause every time I think about relationships at all, all I can hear is "Stop watching those cartoons, you nerd!"

    You can change. You can.
    normally, you don't get together with a person who has a problem with your tastes. Mostly because they would have a problem being your friend in the first place.
  • SotiCotoSotiCoto

    It is easier to just not get together with anyone at all.
    Other persons just end up being a nuisance in the end.
    Learn to solo everything or die trying.

    ...eh, i like people. They're fun, provide good food, hilarious jokes, great entertainment, amazing sex, excellent booze and, most importantly, company.

    It's a matter of to each their own, though.
  • SotiCotoSotiCoto
    RE-ANIMATOR
    ... Where'd you get those sort of people from?
     
    The people I know are stupid, annoying, unfunny, intrusive and generally nuisances in every way...


    ... except Kim and Georgie.... but Kim got her Edinburgh boyfriend and will move there soonish, while Georgie accidentally got knocked up by the guy from Yorkshire and I can't really talk to her any more because she has a baby, though I fully sympathise with her plight.

    That's reason 45 why Colombia is awesome. :D

    South America, wasn't it?
    I forget. My knowledge of Quaternary geography isn't that great.

    To be honest, I'm rather too cynical to take Juan at his word, and rather too lazy to confirm or deny it for myself first-hand.

    ... SO I'll just assume that Juan is on some sort of natural high that causes him to judge people far better than they actually deserve.

    Sounds like it's time to hide the razorblades again.

    On-topic: What if [X] is a sexual preference, a minority group, a political ideology or a religion? You know, something that actually has a suprising lack of impact on day-to-day life but can give rub lots of people the wrong way.

    Would you try to get the person to be more tolerant, would you not care as long as she doesn't soapbox, or would you extrapolate it to the rest of her character and find her a royal cunt?

  • MillerCrossMillerCross

    Or, you know, I realize that maybe I'm not one to judge other people as I'm in most cases no better than them and decide to not ride such a high horse, as they tend to be harder to ride and just make things worse for the rider's back and visibility.

    Hm. I didn't account for that in my OP. That's a valid point. I meant entertainment media specifically. I should go rectify that now.

    Entertainment media still leaves open the possibility of an ideological dispute over pr0n. :3

    Y'know Juan...  I keep trying to convince myself that I'm as bad if not worse than most people...

    ... then they have to go and prove me wrong by being so intolerably stupid that even as utterly worthless and pathetic as I am, I couldn't possibly be as bad as them.
    Now why the hell do they have to do that?

    Funny thing is on those rare (like one in a million) situations where I actually meet someone I like and respect...  I can become... well.... a tad sycophantic. It is quite scary. I just tend to be so thankful to them for actually being better than complete filth.

    -puts on sexy nurse glasses-

    Probably because you have a small penis, no comprehension of socialization and are repressing anger caused by sexual frustration?
  • MillerCrossMillerCross

    um, nurses aren't psychologists.

    Anyway, time to reply...

    nah, you know what? I'll leave it at that. Soti is way too biased for me to even proceed with this discussion with enough patience.

    Yes they are, learn how to understand the medical heirarchy. Baka.

    You've never met a million people yet, so most likely it's a 1 in a 1000 chance.
