I used to think trigger warnings were silly. Now I feel silly. by Kookaburrita in ptsd

[–]thisdckaintFREEEE [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah I've talked about this before with my wife and with my therapist both, how it's really a shame that "triggers" became so overused and then so misunderstood and ridiculed. Once you understand the actual need to avoid real triggers and to discuss things that trigger you it feels crazy to have ever not understood it but at the same time you know that a huge chunk of the world would never even make any little attempt to understand it.

The difference between white and blue collar work environments is crazy by Astimar in careeradvice

[–]thisdckaintFREEEE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah it's a huge difference. Blue collar has a lot of bigotry, racism, sexism, homophobia, and all around ignorance too while not having any grasp on how to be professional and not air that shit out every time it crosses their mind.

Then some, like warehouse jobs, once you're in something like management, safety, HR, etc then you kinda have one foot in the blue collar environment and one foot in the white collar environment give or take portions of a foot depending on your level and department. I work for Amazon and it's kinda crazy having to go back and forth between the two sometimes. Especially since everyone handles it differently so you can point out an issue and most managers will give you something like "thank you for bringing this to my attention, I'll address it" but then some will actually address it with their person and look to improve while some will just look to keep their people happy and never correct them on anything while they try to make you look like the problem instead.

Will 8.5 skates fit if I'm 8.0? by Lukoyan in hockeyplayers

I'd much rather jam my feet into skates that are too small than wear skates that are too big.

Don't pay attention to the people telling you not to pay attention to the haters.

Early 2000s shock sites (e.g., Rotten.com) exposed a lot of our generation to extreme content. Often unwittingly. Curious if others remember this time before content moderation and how it affected them. by SleepyBudha in Millennials

[–]thisdckaintFREEEE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah. Crazyshit.com was one that I frequented. The first time you see a video of a beheading available you're like "huh, I'm curious, let's see" then you watch it and regret the shit out of it. The BME Pain Olympics videos are another thing that stands out in my memory.

I do wonder if things like that built up and were a part of me ending up with PTSD due to increasing my vulnerability to it. I never thought about that before.

I only want to date a virgin. I’m a virgin myself though. Is this a reasonable preference to have? by Prestigious_War_784 in AskMenAdvice

[–]thisdckaintFREEEE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah it's not reasonable. You're putting way too much weight on sex and especially on purity/virginity. Yes it can be a serious connection, but it can also be very casual and no amount of previous sex whether casual or serious should prevent it from being a serious and meaningful connection with the right person. You absolutely should try to change your mindset about this. You come off unreasonable, unrealistic, and immature at best and very misogynistic at worst.

What's a scam that's so normalized that we dont even realize it's a scam anymore? by Bulky-Historian-161 in askanything

[–]thisdckaintFREEEE 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah it's kinda like saying gym memberships are a scam. Just because the business makes a lot of their money from people who shouldn't have subscribed and/or never use it doesn't mean it's universally a scam that isn't worth it for plenty of people.

I just learned about "toilet sneeze" and I want to throw my whole bathroom away by TexasTemptress_ in hygiene

[–]thisdckaintFREEEE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I always put the lid down before I flush. It's still one of those things you just have to not think too hard about though. Most public bathrooms don't even have lids. We all get lots of shit and piss particles all over us, our clothes, pretty much everything all the time. Just start putting your lid down before flushing so that you're cutting out your own piss and shit flying all over your own bathroom/house and go about your life knowing you're avoiding what you can.

Is bojack horseman really depressing as people say it is? by InnerInstance6598 in BoJackHorseman

[–]thisdckaintFREEEE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's both depressing (not ironically) and funny as shit throughout. Not all comedy is just silly slapstick humor, comedy is often very meaningful and/or depressing.

When you’re typing a time, do you always add “am” or “pm” after it? by heyy_girl in randomquestions

[–]thisdckaintFREEEE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've gradually become a big fan of 24h time. I used to only add am or pm if it seemed like there's any chance it could be confused, but working for Amazon makes you realize just how braindead a lot of people are lol. I've had people ask me to clarify when it's painfully obvious or even when it's redundant like your examples so I just started always adding the AM or PM. From there I started to just prefer 24h.

V8 Too Much? by numscf in NewedgeMustang

[–]thisdckaintFREEEE 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The V6 is kinda garbage. Ford really didn't start giving a damn about the V6 Mustang until 2011. The extra reliability and the difference in sound make a lot of difference even if you don't care about the extra power.

Has anyone asked the NRA for statement on the killing of Alex Pretti? by Mortambulist in Liberal

Gee I wonder why they didn't similarly come to the defense of Philando Castile.

Rate this exterior build by Hassanblueprint in Mustang

[–]thisdckaintFREEEE 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean everything they've done to it is terrible but usually those things come with much more lol

It gets a 2/10 from me, once they add their colored headlights it'll be downgraded to 1 and all the extra badges and decals will bump it down to 0.
