I hate when websites use the terms “Item arrives before Mother’s/Father’s Day”.

Makes me want to cry, thinking about the alternate timeline where I have a normal life and no depression/anxiety.

        I did, nothing about people no longer using the terms was said in the OP. Please don’t resort to wild claims of lying like that. They just said it’s anxiety inducing and makes them want to cry. You can infer that they’d prefer it not to be used, but they didn’t actually make any demands.

          The OP is literally this:

          I hate when websites use the terms “Item arrives before Mother’s/Father’s Day”.

          Makes me want to cry, thinking about the alternate timeline where I have a normal life and no depression/anxiety.

          What about “I hate when websites use the terms” and “Makes me want to cry” tells you that OP wants websites to advertise with mother’s day/father’s day?

          And what about “Websites shouldn’t use the term for marketing/websites should allow you to opt out” tells you that I said people (and not only companies) shouldn’t use these terms?

          Again, please read what was written, don’t invent arguments and statements. There’s no glory in fighting windmills, no matter how often you claim they were actually giants.

            Don’t put words in my mouth. I didn’t say they wanted them to use the terms. I specifically said that you can infer they don’t want them to use them.

            But, like I said, there is no demand there, is there? You can’t get an ought from an is.

            what about “Websites shouldn’t use the term for marketing/websites should allow you to opt out” tells you that I said people (and not only companies) shouldn’t use these terms?

            That quote is nowhere in the OP. What are you talking about? Seems to me you invented that statement entirely from whole cloth.

              You really have reading problems, don’t you?

              The first part was from the OP, the second part was from my post.

              Talking with you is like talking with the original version of ChatGPT. You forget everything that was said just in the last post before. There’s no point talking to someone with the attention span of a goldfish.

                So OP never told anyone to stop using those terms… you put the words in their mouth.

                Why should I consider what YOU said, when making statements about what OP wants?

                You forget everything that was said just in the last post before.

                No, that just wasn’t relevant to what I was saying. Not even a little.

                All I’ve ever done was explain why that top level comment was insensitive to the OP. Maybe you yourself should look back and re-read our conversation, and stop accusing me.

                  No, OP only said they hate when websites do that because they love when websites do that. Surely that’s what “I hate when websites do that” means.

                  Have fun, bot. No need to talk to you.

                    Like, I don’t get what you’re doing at all. It just strikes me as insensitive to reply to a post saying something upsets them, and just ignore the emotional content completely to say that the upsetting thing is just marketing. The implication is that they were dumb to get upset.

                    Why has this devolved so far, and why do you only want to discuss the content of YOUR reply to my reply to the original reply?

                    Obviously i know they said they hate it because they hate it. But that’s not the same as demanding they stop it, is it? Why are you playing games with me like this?

                    Wtf are you talking about??? I’m not a bot FOR FUCK’S SAKE, stop trolling me. All I said, all I’ve EVER said, is that the top level comment i replied to was an insensitive reply. Then you popped in trying to elaborate on what that comment was saying – completely ignoring what I had said – and now for some reason you’re upset that I don’t want to talk about YOUR comment.

                    Why?? Why are you doing this to me?? You’re driving me fucking INSANE.

                    WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME??
