This advice won’t be for everyone, but: anytime you’re tempted to say “I was traumatized by X”, try reframing this in your internal dialogue as “After X, my brain incorrectly learned that Y”.

I have to admit, for a brief moment i thought he was correctly expressing displeasure at twitter.

@EY
This is of course a dangerous sort of tweet, but I predict that including variables into it will keep out the worst of the online riff-raff - the would-be bullies will correctly predict that their audiences’ eyes would glaze over on reading a QT with variables.

Fool! This bully (is it weird to speak in the third person ?) thinks using variables here makes it MORE sneer worthy, especially since this appear to be a general advice, but i would struggle to think of a single instance in my life where it’s been applicable.

    You’re in a forest, walking along in the leaves, when all of a sudden you look down…

    You look down and see Yud, Swlabr. he’s crawling toward you…

    Yud lays on its back, his leg bleeding in the hot sun, struggling to get a bear trap of his leg, but he can’t. Not without your help. But you’re not helping.

    You’re correcting his usage of the word trauma! Why is that, Swlabr?
