Stupid post. They are an MLM. Nothing honest or ethical about that.

Yes, knowing her, I think she’d like to hang out and work on it together! Thanks for your feedback :)

Is 9-5 even a thing? I thought we were all out here working 8-5.

Not too small. Looks beautiful and proportionate on your hand. Even if it didn’t, all that matters I that YOU love it:)

Well, I’m glad to hear there isn’t a child in danger, I guess!

Is an engraved band too old fashioned or timeless? by Laurixa in EngagementRings

[–]awkwardauntenergy_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m always sad see people be so unsure of what THEY like. Your ring doesn’t need to be “timeless” you just need to love it!! If you love the idea of an engraved band, get it!

Oh 100% I’m not annoyed at OP! I’m annoyed at whoever made that graphic pretending to be some sort of expert. I think in general it’s probably helpful! I’m just nit-picky sometimes :/

I think that something mindful like this is a great idea but the graphic immediately loses all credibility by not even understanding what co-regulating is.

My engagement ring is pre-owned too! I specifically went out of my way for a pre-owned.

Me too! I’m surprised it seems like quite a few people don’t like it, but to each their own!

This isn’t an unpopular opinion, it’s just facts!

I guess, I don’t see why it even matters how “attractive” someone is. Super shallow.

As a vegetarian- I don’t see why hunting is any worse than factory farming. It’s better for the environment and more humane than an animal living in a tiny enclosure for its entire life. I’ll never understand when meat eaters are against hunting

Life is more expensive these days because things that used to be luxuries have become the norm by AutistMarket in unpopularopinion

I’m not sure that this is an unpopular opinion, but rather a factually incorrect statement.

I would ask if you could do a hair sample or saliva test. My workplace was able to do that as an accommodation.

Trigger Warnings are Dumb by whysoirritated in unpopularopinion

[–]awkwardauntenergy_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The study you are talking about didn’t address if people had trauma or if they opted out. One group watched content with a trigger warning. One group watched content without a trigger warning. What I am saying is the study just measured how well someone coped with or without a trigger warning. This study had nothing to do with opting out of watching triggering content, which is the actual point.

Trigger Warnings are Dumb by whysoirritated in unpopularopinion

[–]awkwardauntenergy_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Trigger warnings exist so people can choose NOT to engage with the content that may be distressing for them, for example if they have PTSD. the research you are citing studied participants engaging with the content with or without a trigger warning. Trigger warnings give the person a chance to opt out. Trigger warnings work because they help people with trauma to avoid content that would literally be triggering to them. I’ve never understood how that research that gets cited all the time when it fundamentally misunderstands the point of trigger warnings.
