claimedciting the fact that a “supermodel, someone really, really famous” has been “begging” him for sex “and I’ve been like, no”. She’s “taunted” him, he says, and “called me a prude”.uh-huh...
“She’s one of the most beautiful women I’ve ever seen but it doesn’t mean that I want to rip her clothes off and have sex with her. [...]
... Sean Rad, the 29-year-old co-founder and CEO of Tinder ...
... continues: “Apparently there’s a term for someone who gets turned on by intellectual stuff. You know, just talking. What’s the word?” His face creases the effort of trying to remember. “I want to say ‘sodomy’?”
Rosette [vice- president, communications and branding] shrieks: “That’s it! We’re going to be fired” and Rad looks confused. “What? Why?”
I tell him it means something else and he thumbs his phone for a definition. “What? No, not that. That’s definitely not me. Oh, my God.”
When he recovers he explains that Tinder is launching an education and workplace add-on ...Sounds like he could do with some education himself.

Sapiosexual. A.K.A. "a person you won't have a chance to sleep with", according to the interview.

Sapiosexual
When Urban Dictionary comes up as the first search result, and one of the following results from the more serious dictionaries uses the word neologism, you know they're making shit up.

Pretentious Is Not A Sexual Orientation
‘Sapiosexual’ has to be one of the stupidest sexual ‘identities’ to come along in years.
-
When even Tumblr doesn’t recognize your sexual orientation, you’ve got a problem.
-
I always thought there was a lot of pretentiousness on Tumblr.

A book example of a Freudian slip.
-
Pseudomy? Although it's also not a word...
(i.e. I think he was aiming for something starting with pseudo- and ended up with sodo- instead...)
-

*shrug* I dunno. I wouldn't call it an orientation the same way homo- or heterosexualism is, and it's certainly no reason to get all pretentious in the "ooh, I'm so different, I don't care about looks, but you gotta be smart to fuck me" way... but from my experience, there's something to the concept that smarter (well, comparatively) people appear more sexually attractive.

Oh, but tumblr knows about this one. And a lot more. Don't click if you value your sanity: http://pride-flags-for-us.tumblr.com/post/92647736839/sapiosexualsapioromantic-is-ableist-in-definition

Not "doesn't recognize" as in "has no idea about", but "doesn't recognize" as in "refuses to accept as a real thing".
-
But they are there too. There are so many cognitively challenged people on tumblr.

Q. “Sorry is this stupid/dumb”
A. Please don’t use terms like stupid, dumb, idiot, or the like in asks or in general. These terms are ableist because they are used to belittle based on intelligence, which is a terrible construct that affects people with learning disabilities, ADHD, and other neurodivergencies. Also, you are not being ridiculous, it’s fine! You are valid and amazing, don’t feel like your ask is weird.
[...]
Q. “I’m biologically male..” “I was born a female..”
A. Please don’t say stuff like this. if you need to mention your designated gender at birth say you’re amab/afab (assigned male/female at birth) dmab/dfab (designated male/female at birth) or camab/cafab (coercively assigned male/female at birth). Saying you’re biologically your assigned gender at birth is transphobic and cissexist. Biological Sex is a social construct just like gender.
[...]
Q. “I’m attracted to both genders/sexes…”A. Please don’t phrase it like that. [more bollocks elided]
What shit have these people been smoking?

Whatever it is, it doesn't make them attractive to the sapiosexuals…

> Biological Sex is a social construct
I could drink all the alcohol in the world and it would still be less harmful to my brain than that sentence.

I thought Fox sometimes was stretching definitions ... but this is beyond stretching ...

Intelligence as a single number is idiotic, though.

Well, maybe. Though both sides of this argument are ripe for abuse both by the "oh, I'm 140, I'm so much better than you" and "I'm really smart, it's just the tests that are dumb" crowds.
But dismissing intelligence at all and demanding equality between smart and stupid people, and harassing smart people because apparently intelligence is a privilege... nope, I stand by my earlier post, fuck it, I'm so done.
A world where you can't call idiotic things idiotic is not the world I signed up for, goddamnit!
-
Saying you’re biologically your assigned gender at birth is transphobic and cissexist.
Okay. So 99.9999% of the world population are transphobic and cissexist. In other words: Normal.We have a saying in German: "What do you mean, one wrong-way driver? There are hundreds!"
Biological Sex is a social construct just like gender.
Snow is just a social construct! I FEEL like I'm getting a sunburn!What shit have these people been smoking?
I still hope to wake up some day and read a giant admission on Twatbook that all this genderism SJW bullshit was just a hugely successful secret trolling experiment.

It's not. It's important to treat people with respect.
But sex isn't about respect. It's about pleasure and procreation and preference. You can respectfully say no to sex for any reason.
-
It's not. It's important to treat people with respect.
Making yourself important by telling people to treat other people with respect has nothing to do with respect, and everything with making yourself important.You can respectfully say no to sex for any reason.
And then have yourself be called a transphobe.

Do you also call them (lit.) ghost drivers?

...by people whose opinions you don't respect. So who cares?
I don't respect the opinion of a lot of people who control my life directly or indirectly. It doesn't really help that much.If nobody dares to object publicly the circle of bullshit will gradually expand until my children will get points deducted for not using "cis-" and "trans-" and "wo*men" and "LBGOMGWTF" correctly when they start going to school (this is already happening at universities here).
It's a slippery slope. Like the German green party just published their rules on how to gender people in written speech. (Sorry, no English version and I'm not translating that shit.)

Addendum:
I'd go as far as saying that I find our actual Socialists and SED-successors less dangerous and insane than the Greens.

Someone else's take on that stuff. In English this time: http://www.exberliner.com/blogs/the-blog/gender-trouble-in-german/
But in German, just about every word has a gender. In the last three decades, German speakers have strived for more gender equality with the so-called "Binnen-I." [ed- translated from German, and doesn't make too much sense when you get clauses like 'Example: "teachers" instead of "teachers"' for 'Beispiel: „LehrerInnen“ statt „Lehrerinnen und Lehrer“.'] Rather than writing Bürgerinnen und Bürger for female and male citizens, you just write BürgerInnen with a capital "I" in the middle to mean both.
It doesn't end there. As we have all realized in recent years, there are more than two points on the gender continuum. So extra symbols are needed for people who are somewhere between male and female. This can include Bürger*innen or Bürger_innen. (I'm not sure if there's a difference between the asterisk and the underscore, and I don't know how to pronounce either one.)
The next (final?) step is apparently to replace everything with an unpronounceable "X". So Studentxs can discuss with their Professx about gender equality with no discrimination at all – in this case, it's even foreigner-friendly, since native speakers can no better pronounce it than we can!

As in, the whole German language? I actually wouldn't mind.

But! None of the craziness is showing up anywhere outside of the Green party itself.
AFAIK.

x is pronounceable in lojban.

FTFM. I personally have never given a shit about it, and have mercilessly ridiculed everybody I met who did.

ghost drivers
Is that something you get when you remove hardware without uninstalling the drivers?

We had a thread about this.
