"First aid is intimate" is part of the trope, but only a part.

I don't see the trope there. Both of them look too disinterested.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.

Fun fact: "disinterested" means "impartial" (e.g. a judge should be disinterested). It is not a perfect synonym for "uninterested".

(Sorry, Feather :) Pet peeve.)

That's actually closer to what I meant, though. Don't care is not what I was aiming for.

Also, there is debate about how much of synonyms they are. Some claim what you do; some claim disinterested can mean not interested.

The Internet misuses, abuses, and overuses everything.

There's some strong disagreement here so are we going to have a vote on it?

I can set up a crowner, but I don't think any of the suggested pics are remotely better than the current.

No image should be one of the options to vote on.

Clock's up; locking for inactivity/lack of consensus. No action is to be taken based on this thread.
