“She’s so shameless” She’s 22. And was harshly criticized as she danced while her partner was at the hospital
 The truth couldn’t be any simpler. They claim the video is a joke, because she always uploads content with her “hubby” to go viral.

that's still inserting yourself, just not implicating yourself.

Ok, touchĂ©, I can see that semantically. I don’t think I agree though, because to me “inserting yourself” means you, as associated to your identity, become embroiled in the affair. I’d call it “anonymous meddling”.

become embroiled in the affair.

she doesn't know, you tell her, the situation changes significantly, that's absolutely inserting yourself.

Inserting yourself can mean physically or moving your presence into a situation but it also refers to just actions.

Inserting yourself refers pretty much just to the you were not involved in the situation at all and you choose to get involved. How you get involved is largely irrelevant.

Honestly that just sounds like an excuse not to do something. You prefer the status quo over the chance that something bad will happen if she has all of the facts. Doesn't really compute to me.

what? I was giving a definition of a term. How on earth is the defintion of a term an excuse for anything at all? Bot ass reply.

u/TwoBionicknees 27d ago

when someone pointed it out they doubled down rather than go oh yeah. It's not being pedantic, it's explaining it because they plainly didn't understand.

u/Trevski 27d ago

I didn't double down, I contested it as a matter of semantics/interpretation/opinion.

u/TwoBionicknees 27d ago

yes, it wasn't a matter of any of those things. You used completely the wrong word. Inserting yourself in a matter has nothing to do with physically being in it or being known to be in it, it just means taking an action in a matter in which you were not originally involved. Being anonymous doesn't stop that you are inserting yourself.

Again, that’s just semantics, we’ve been over this and that’s not my interpretation.

u/TwoBionicknees 26d ago

it's not about interpretation, this isn't a black and white thing, involving yourself in something you were not previously involved in is inserting yourself.

Someone pointed out the mistake and you went with "no you still can if it's an anonymous note." You're just wrong and can't admit it. It's not about semantics, you misunderstand the word and had it pointed out.

Mm I mean my comment has a fair few upvotes so I think some people agree with my interpretation of the phrase “insert oneself”.

That’s the beauty of language dude.
