Cunningham's Law demands I point out this is perhaps better attributed to Hanlon's razor.

/salute

Dunning-Kruger tells me it’s actually Poe’s law.

Nobody mentioned Hitler though..?

Also possibly low standards, though that's probably not something that you want to hear from your partner ...

Some people just can't think of shit when put on the spot with questions like "but *why* do you love me" because my brain is made of fluffy kittens playing clumsily with ribbons.

I still have the nightmares.

Same.

It doesn't help that "why do you love me" is often an impossible question to answer.

Is it?

You go first.

I love you because one day you walked into my house, wouldn't leave despite repeatedly being told to, and then I eventually gave up and let you sleep in my bed.

It's not really taught that this is often fishing for compliments, though sometimes they want to hear about how they impact you on a deep emotional and psychological level. Depends on the person. The former is easy enough, the latter does require you have a level of emotional awareness and the communication skills to express it.

"You're pretty and smart and drag likes the way you see the world and you have a big heart."

Y'all don't know how to compliment your dragons properly. Tell it that it's pretty and smart and kind. Easy.

That's what I would personally call "cheap".

Among those words the only one that could barely resonate would be "I like the way you see the world", but that's still pretty reductive as I doubt your partner at the time is doing groundbreaking philosophy.

And it doesn't say much about your feeling toward anybody else that share the same outlooks/lifestyle.

That's cheap? What would you consider deep, then? Binding your soul to your partner's in an ancient ritual?

For some reason, the background being this color made it impossible for me to read.

A comic strip

How ?

Vision issues. I literally could not read it. Changing the background to white gives me sufficient contrast to read it.

Damn, that sucks

I needed this 2 years ago

Definitely that he's just dumb. The saying should be "please don't *dismiss* the posibility".

"Discount", as in not to include, not used in your variety of English? That's kinda neat.

Where are you from?

East Anglia, UK here and we do use it that way.
