thoughtful but cursed thread its nice that people are trying and I am glad people recognize that they are trying but theres no set of rules to follow rather most of flirting (and even socializing) is flitting between rulesets and violating them artfully https://t.co/POemOqVgbI

the contemporary problem I think is that people have to use ML terms switched to a high-recall shit-precision model in plain terms people are conflating "awkward" with "dangerous" because idk they're panicking about weirdos I guess both types break rules but only one is malign

(I'm not actually sure actually dangerous people are likely to get caught by the current threat model like Weinstein and Clinton are clearly not socially awkward)

anyway it's especially shit because trial and error, simple experience, are necessary to develop adult social fluency and this rigid-but-still-tacit ruleset is likely to be ruinous for experimentation and development I'm sorry everyone we live in a society
