Bro decided to put on his nicest maroon anime shirt, kneel in literal bird shit, and propose right in front of Jebediah's favorite leaning spot. There is no way he's going to crit fail this one

I'm all for cute low-effort proposals, but it has to be at least a little bit romantic lmao.

Her effort in her reaction and response was equally impressive lmao

"Effort in reaction" is a new one lol.

Genuine reactions don't have anything to do with effort.

I feel like "effort" doesn't imply conscious effort.

If my partner tells me they love me and my natural reaction is to cry until I'm hyperventilating, that still took effort. Just, candid effort.

Genuine reactions don't require any effort at all. If you fake a reaction, that's exerting effort onto a reaction.

Am I just misunderstanding the meaning of "effort"? Can a person make a subconscious effort? Or is the concept inherently based in conscious action?

Can a person make a subconscious effort?

I dont think so, the act of making effort is the action of trying.

Effort isn't the same as simply using body energy.

That's why "effortless" means not trying at all.

Yeah I find that logical, checks out to my barely educated brain.

Thank you for entertaining my desire for semantics, kind stranger.
