I get a big red banner saying sorry, according to your usage patterns you are not in the same family.

I have three sons, they live in the West Coast, I live in the Midwest. I can't join a family with them. That's a bummer.

My absolute favorite AC game. My wife just got me Sideshow's Edward Animus statue for my birthday. It's stunning.

I'm a sixty year old nerd. No one hires those.

However, thank you very much for the kindness of your post.

Today was one of those days for me.

She was on a team in Kentucky 6th through 8th grades. She's starting her Freshman year in Iowa.

Her response is sadly always the same. "Dad! I'd get in trouble!"

My daughter is an archer. I have asked her this question many times.

I love it. I don't understand your mental health struggles so I'm going to resort to name calling.

Your worth, your value is not determined by what someone else makes.

Also, I'm a bit ignorant of this subject so forgive me if I get it wrong, but did he not go to school significantly longer for his MD than you did for yours?

I believe he also had to go through the hell that is residency, I didn't believe nurses do.

If you're envious of his salary, improve your skills, or your education. If you're happy where you are at In life, then don't let the fact that others make more than you interfere with that happiness.

No matter what you do, there will always be others who make more, one of those sad facts of life.

I'm sorry, which part of "destroys me" don't you understand? Do I need to spell out that on more the one occasion I contemplated a bullet in the head because of those things?

Just because you are unable to relate to such a thing does not mean my mental health is not negatively impacted.

So I ask again, where do you place the limit on what is deserving a trigger warning?

[–] rhacer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (4 children)

I'm opposed to trigger warnings for the same reason I'm opposed to participation trophies. Part of maturing is learning that uncomfortable things happen in the world, and that you will not always be successful.

If you don't want to see uncomfortable things, perhaps you should not be watching The Sopranos, or Sons of Anarchy, or Yellowstone, or Hill Street Blues, or MASH. Stick with Disney+ (but maybe not, I watched Lion King last night in honor of the passing of James Earl Jones and cried like a baby).

Serious question, where do trigger warnings end? I am triggered by any father showing approval for their son. (Hell I'm choking up just typing that). My wife and daughter will tell you that no matter what: TV, Movie, Audio Book, or even commercial, it will destroy me, sometimes for a few minutes sometimes longer. I have never seen a "Warning! This show contains graphic fatherly approval of their children that may be upsetting to some viewers" I would never think of making an issue of it either. My emotional fragility is my issue to deal with. Not someone else's.

Boy THAT will work! Good idea government!

 

Playing Oakland in injury time we score an ugly goal (likely an own goal).

Ref indicates a goal.

Oakland's keeper who is a complete wimp rolls around on the ground.

Stadium replay guy plays the goal.

Ref watches the replay and reversed himself.

Appalling.

 

Anyone else in the stands tonight?
