Hey thanks for taking the time and trying to clarify. I don't have much more to add to this conversation I think so that's where my commentary ends but I did want to reach out to say I'm sorry you have been through some pretty terrible stuff--sending a digital hug your way. Hope you have a good rest of your day.
It's not realistic to expect to be able to put trigger warnings for a large population of strangers on the internet. You're right; when putting it in blanket terms like that, it is silly.
However, there are two things where you could be mindful of others. The first are talking about highly prevalent and violent topics in detail: rape, csa, domestic abuse springs to mind. Things where you probably either know of, or have heard of, someone suffering long term as a direct result of the trauma these events inflict.
But if that's still too broad for you, then you should keep your close friends and family into consideration and talk to them if you know one of them has gone through an extremely difficult life event. If nobody in your personal circle has experienced such things, then like the other commenter said: I'm very happy for you and them. If someone has, then even just saying "Hey do you want a heads up if this topic comes up in our group chat?" is enough. Maybe they'll say yes. Maybe they'll say no. But now you know what their wishes are and can act accordingly with respect to that.
Friday morning breakfast. Lately I've been making fancy pancakes. Last time was apple cinnamon pancakes with real maple syrup and a honey-vanilla compound butter. It was divine.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to die by falling down. Either tripping or slipping.
I don't have a very good sense of where my body is in relation to the things around me. I walked into wall corners a LOT as a kid, for example. I struggle to walk down stairs if I can't look down and see my feet and the stairs. I CAN do it, but I have to go real slow. Because I just don't have a good sense of where my foot is in relation to the next step.
Pretty sure someday I'm just gonna either fall down a set of stairs and break my neck, or I'm going to slip on something slippery and, again, break my neck.
Chef John's recipes are always spot on; it's rare for me to make something of his I don't like. Sometimes they require a bit of extra effort, but he always tries to make his recipes as accessible as possible, talking about what shortcuts are appropriate.
It's not much but I attend the Farmer's Market as much as I can, and I've become familiar with a lot of people there. It's nice, being recognized and recognizing others in my community.
I'm working on redoing the scratched-to-pieces one we have now. Any particular tips you wanna share? I've got all the materials, just haven't gotten started yet.
I believe this is pretty common with neutered males but I'm not entirely sure. I can only anecdotally say that this is behavior our neutered male engaged in constantly with his favorite stuffed animal.
That's been sitting on my wishlist a while. It caught my attention when I saw RTGames playing with his friends; but I've been hesitant to pull the trigger because I'm worried it'll be one of those games that's only fun with friends.
I don't have premium anymore, but back when I did, I got it to better support the channels I watched since I believe they got more revenue from the views of subscribers than people watching the ads.
Jumping on the "get a fucking divorce" train and adding "stop buying prepackaged overprocessed food, feed me some damn vegetables, and stop giving me so much goddamn sugar"
