For instance, when someone describes going to school as “traumatic,” they often simply refer to it as a negative experience. This is not to say that everyone who went to school never had a traumatic experience; however, some individuals appear to overuse the term. Another example could be considering being lightly pushed into a locker as “traumatic.”

    It’s taking a lot of willpower here to not go on a rant complaining about car culture and societies double standards around motor vehicles. So I’ll just leave it there.

        Same. If I had a time machine my first act would be to grab copies of high-speed magnetized rail patents and all required automation and other associated technology, go back a number of years before Henry Ford fucks public transit, start my own company with those patents, win out the contracts for rail and Build a public transit utopia after slapping Henry Ford in the face.

        Afterwards I guess I’d probably kill pre-Nazi Hitler or sthn IDK.
