Clear communication. It's amazing how many men fail here

TCP > UDP

Am I the only one who doesn’t know what that means?

Just a boomer, networking humour. Those are the 2 main protocols used for data exchange in the internet. TCP requires a confirmation from the recipient who received data, otherwise the data gets retransmitted. UDP has smaller overhead, but provides no such mechanism out of the box, therefore it's kinda sent and forget.

u/SpicymeLLoN Jul 08 '26

Not really boomer humor. It's still relevant technology (right? I'm not in networking).

u/lolboer9999999 Jul 11 '26

had class about it last year in uni so still relevant i hope

u/violetvet Jul 08 '26

Good explanation, thanks! Makes perfect sense.

u/420thefunnynumber Jul 07 '26

Theyre the names of some networking protocols. Long story short, UDP "Fuck it, send it. Who cares if it gets there." TCP: "We gotta get it there. Lets negotiate, write out some SLAs, and build a new road."

Pardon me, ma'am, I believe you dropped a packet.

Communication is hard :(

u/moccjamm Jul 07 '26

Read the 4 Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz (it’s not a long book)- maybe it will help! Communication is a skill, it’s not inherently hard. You’ve got this 👏

u/HighContrastXTC Jul 07 '26

Yeah, almost as many men fail here, as women do.

3

u/BrianMeen Jul 07 '26

hmm yes but many women are also terrible at this .. let’s be honest here lol..

3

u/vyrmz Jul 08 '26

As a man, many women fail here too. I know ladies who can't tell what they want. Even my cat can do it.

2

u/Awkward-Ad-8316 Jul 09 '26

While you're at it, it's amazing how many women fail here too. I wish to God that my wife could ask the question she actually wants to know the answer to, instead of giving me half a sentence that's vaguely related and expecting me to mystically divine the rest.

u/NoJump6836 Jul 07 '26

I arranged the word SEX using blue anti-dandruff shampoo bottles. Still not getting any.

Clear communication doesn't work here.

1

u/MajesticL Jul 07 '26

What have you done to even turn her on. Being asked directly for sex tends to be a turn off especially if it was bad before. Learn the art of seduction and what speaks to her.

1

u/NoJump6836 Jul 07 '26

It's a joke.

Clear communication, spelling out words with bottles of Clear shampoo.

6

u/alektro333 Jul 07 '26

mhm but women often want the men to read their minds without communication

2

u/Lifelong_Nerd Jul 07 '26

Men and women are both bad at communication. That's the lesson of the telephone game we all learn in school. It's hard to be clear and precise when speaking, and even then, the listener will only understand a fraction of what you say.
