A viral tweet from a man in Manchester, UK, might be all you need to kill your faith in humanity this week.

The man tweeted a text message he'd received from a former date, who hadn't responded to him all week, and then simply broke up with him because of the use of a choice phrase.

See below:





"Hey man, sorry for not messaging until now," wrote back the man.

"I enjoyed our date last week but when you said the phrase 'put my thinking cap on' it kinda gave me the ick so I wasn't really interested in pursuing things. Also do you know of any like soul funk hip hop disco kind of vibes DJs in Manchester?"

The man who received the text, known as Jacques, said that ultimately the entire exchange was a laugh.

"It just made me laugh as it was so absurd, but also a pretty accurate reflection of dating in Manchester!"








Jacques, however, said he wasn't surprised not to receive a second date due to the nature of the response time.

"He was quite awkward on the date and then ghosted me for ten days before sending this," said Jacques.





The excuses for ghosting people have clearly run out in the 2020s.

Olympian Ilona Maher Perfectly Shuts Down Body-Shaming Troll Who Said She Looks 'Pregnant' In Dress

It might be 2026, but there are still people out there with totally unattainable—and biologically impossible—standards for women and their bodies.

A key example is shaming a woman for not having a totally flat stomach. Meanwhile, this is a totally normal feature of a woman's body because it is where a woman's uterus is, and what we're seeing from the outside is the body's protective barrier for that and other organs.

Miller, the wife of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, asked Kennedy to share who in his orbit has the "most unhinged" eating habits.

DHS Tried To Discredit Reporter Who Exposed Their Shoddy ICE Hiring Practices—And She Brought The Receipts

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) was harshly criticized after it tried to discredit reporter Laura Jedeed, who detailed in an article for Slate how she applied and was accepted to become an ICE agent despite not filling out any of the required paperwork or going through a background check.

In her article, "You’ve Heard About Who ICE Is Recruiting. The Truth Is Far Worse. I’m the Proof.," Jedeed says her original intent at an ICE Career Expo in Texas last August was simply to see “what it was like to apply to be an ICE agent,” not to join the agency.
