This “triggered” you?

I have to say, as a therapist who treats people with actual trauma, I find it mildly infuriating that people today use the word “triggered” to refer to something that mildly infuriates them. The concept of a mental health trigger refers specifically to something that reactivates a traumatic memory and induces serious distress in the person triggered. Using the term to refer to something that just annoys you trivializes and dilutes it as a term.

I get that language is a living thing and people who use the term this way don’t mean to be trivializing the issues of people who have real trauma, but it still irks me whenever I see people use that word this way.

You do you, OP, don’t take this as serious criticism. I just felt the need to get that off my chest.

Not true. Money often does corrupt people, because money is very often the means to power, and power definitely corrupts most people over time.

Presidents should not have pardon power. It doesn’t matter what the reason is, if the president can just trump the entire federal justice system, said system is pointless.

The sad thing is this kind of shit actually works on some people. Just how our brains are wired and some folks can’t resist.

Idiots. They contributed to Trump getting elected, who will be a thousand times worse for Gaza than Harris would have been. These are dumb voters. Fuck them.

She’s certainly no parent.

Well, you have to make the bets before the thing happens, so….

Yes, and I don’t support them.

It comes in jars?! And in tubes?!

I’m gettin’ one!

So, according to my answer and your pathetic attempt at wit, the purveyors of DEI programs should themselves attend DEI programs to become less racist and sexist.

So enlightening, troll. Truly remarkable.

I do think DEI programs are both racist and sexist. Now, what’s your point?
