I would never compare, being a sex worker is obviously incredibly more honorable

But...saying that something is more honorable than something else is comparing them?

EDIT: to be clear, her point is absolutely valid. This isn't (to misquote a replier) "But I must find way for sex lady be dumb". Her actual point is spot-on. This particular linguistic evolution just feels weird to me - feels like the new "literally".

They don't mean "I'm not making a comparison, but "There is no comparison to be made, one of these things is clearly better"

"equate" is the correct word but we still knew what they meant.

Just being a pedant, but equating two things is still a comparison.

It means to make a connection, not a comparison. Your connecting the concept of comparison to the concept of equating is equating however.

That’s a very “I use an app on a phone to access Lemmy” problem.

I posted it and it won’t load on my end haha.

It’s a slow clap.

Besides it being a joke, fuck the troops. Fuck the troops. Fuck the troops. Fuck the troops.

That's all that matters about what they said
