A few minutes ago I was discussing the subject of “Triggers …
Certain words that trigger people. What does it mean to be "triggered?"
This term has been casually used to refer to the experience of having an emotional reaction to some type of disturbing content in the media or in another social setting. However, there is a difference between being triggered and being uncomfortable.

People seem to be easily triggered these days. I wonder if it has been all the isolation and lockdowns. Is everyone much more sensitive ???
Maybe people need sensitivity re-training ? Sensitivity Training is also a Trigger these days.
There used to be the old adage…
Never discuss Politics, Religion or Money.
Or something like that. How does it go ?
I did find this from Thomas Jefferson.
What do you think about all these triggers. Does the word Trigger trigger you ?
I also found this quote ….
I myself have offended a great number of people with my Great Pumpkin posts… Sorry about that.
Freedom of Speech is often a Trigger.
You're so right!
I love this one @offgridlife,
Social media was created to discuss these things. Now if you do suddenly you are the problem not the media kicking you off the platform. It's as bad as syndicates telling the Smothers Brothers what Joan Baez can say on television... 2021 should not be like this warned the fish living in a fish bowl to the dear children who wanted to play with the Cat in the Hat 🐱.
Some people would just rather censor and intimidate people.
I just finished watching the 66' Peanuts Great Pumpkin.
I would love to discuss the Great Pumpkin … but maybe not here.
Thats good to hear, if you actually practice what's in the meme.
People who live outside the status quo do not like talking about the left and right issues because it's so toxic, and as the meme suggests there is people who would actually become unfriendly over politics.
I joking called Trump a poser, for not running independent, and instantly lost a online friend about 2 years ago.
Then stuff like this happens,
Yeah… I’m right of Center but when people ask me how I’m going to vote … rather than get into an argument I always say “Vote Green man” , I’m off the grid dude , solar energy man, no fossil fuels Dude …. Everything for free man …. and that always ends with … . well that’s a wasted vote.
Green energy has been monopolized by Bill Gates too, the solar panel cells have been manufactured to fail.
Yeah… they are super expensive too… I just reduce, reuse and recycle.
I have littered less than I can count on two hands, if we are talking plastics.
Lol this kid at McDonald's was texting instead of working and I order a meal just to throw it at him when he looked down at his phone again. Does that count as littering if I knew he would pick it up?
This is a truly great quote. Thanks for sharing it.
Thanks… do you like the Great Pumpkin quote too ?
You are right at these points, Sometimes Spare time make people talk in a topics that they shouldn't talk about at least in the certain time or certain places.
These topics are taboo some places.
Yeah, The word trigger really triggers me in a very passionate way and when I read the word on this post, it got my interest picked and I was triggered. 😊
But I strongly believe that everybody should be afforded the luxurious liberty to be heard and to speak their minds adequately.
Nobody should ever be silenced … or should they ?
No way they should be silenced.
Everybody gat to be free to open their mouths and talk.
Nobody should ever be silenced!
What if they are spreading misinformation, lies, or hate speech ?
Then I guess they gatta have their asses busted, but they shouldn't still be silenced. 🤓🌚
People kill for these three things because someone disagrees with them and their beliefs. Crazy and scary. A wise decision.
"Does the word Trigger trigger you?" Quite so, if they don't mean the trigger of the gun. I am appalled by the growing number of SJW and snowflakes hurt either by humour or by serious subjects that require seeing the context and admitting some uneasy truths. These people stick to the word "trigger", and I learnt to hate it.
please consider reviewing your witness votes
every account has exactly 30 votes assigned - and any UNUSED votes are de facto votes for the oligarchs
Who else should I vote for ?
Well… I only vote for people I know and like. I like the creators of Splinterlands,… @aggroed and @yabapmatt have given me $$$$ millions. I probably sold some stuff way too soon. But
I also sold for Dogecoin, Shib, Bitcoin, Blurt, BYT, Cosmos …. And earned even more. I owe those 2 guys a lambo
