    It’s not a shortcut…

    It’s a huge red flag.

    But no matter how big a single red flag is, if that’s the only one you look out for, you’re going to miss a shit ton of other red flags.

    It’s like saying “I never date a convicted felon” while actively dating a drug smuggler you just saw cut someone up with a chainsaw…

    I’m not saying you should start dating convicted felons, I’m saying you need to do more than that.

      It’s just another one on the checklist. But the checkbox has a star next to the text. Meaning deal breaker.

        That might be what you mean…

        But it’s not what the picture in the post is saying

            And before it was a meme, it was someone tossing off a quick comment. They weren’t writing a dissertation, they were trying to get on with their day.
