California liberals are pretty unbearable too. California doesn't know how to have a happy medium, people are either extreme left or right. It's a sight to behold when they both meet. It usually ends up on YouTube.

Dang, that's a perfect name for them. We see a ton of that poo poo here at work. 2 things I hate more than anything working here; safe spaces and trigger words. Fortunately, none of our instructors have bought into that bullshit so they're not as bad here as our bay area counterparts. The downside is some of our counterparts are buying into the safe space trigger word bullshit because millennials are mythical creatures that need to be coddled instead of learning to be adults in the real world.

man triggers - real triggers- are not all that new age of a concept; it's just a different flavor of "don't talk to uncle jack about vietnam, it sets him off"

some people go overboard but i don't think it's all that unreasonable to go, for example, "hey I was raped as a teenager can we please not make rape jokes"

I'd venture to say uncle jack also doesn't knowingly sign up for a class about Vietnam and not want to hear about it because trigger words.

We had a Vietnam vet in one of my classes that would crouch anytime a jet came by and would be covered in sweat when he sat back down.

The whole trigger words thing is stupid tumblrina bullshit that I really wish people would stop taking seriously.

That being said, "everyone is a winner, give everyone a participation medal/ribbon/plaque" is the worst sort of mollycoddling garbage ever and should be stopped asap. Not everyone is going to be a crazy good athlete, stop trying to hug everyone and make everyone win at the same things and allow people to be different. Push kids to find what they love and are good at and then be as good as they can be at that thing. Everyone's got their thing they love and will be awesome at, but if you try to tell me "you tried" is good enough for a participation award in sports that I absolutely sucked at, I'm gonna tell you to cram it and stop flapping your dumb face at me, and then go find something I'm good at and excel at that until I'm worthy of a real medal.

Jill, 22, still blames herself for her parents split when she was 4 years old, and now avoids all forms of conflict because of it

Meanwhile boomers, who destroyed the economy and made it impossible for families to have only one working parent, roll their eyes and write long winded articles about the """over sensitive millennials""" as they dodge under a table when a jet flies over

Not really throwing anyone under a bus, but boomers completely ignore one group while focusing and sympathizing with another

How about dealing with people on a person by person basis and not slotting them into whatever half baked category the internet decides is a fit for them? Surprise, real personalities have more than one dimension to them! I'm not making GBS threads on anyone here, we're more balanced than most of the internet (not a high hurdle, admittedly, but there you go). Adblock all comment sections and deactivate all social media, substitute with funny animal videos.

Yeah, you're a loving rear end in a top hat. My friend was molested by her uncle and cousin when she was 8-11 and now when Rod and Tod at the office talk about how sports team x "TOTALLY RAPED" sports team y she gets to enter a private hell where she relives three years of sexual abuse.

Don't worry I did enteral feedings on detainees but that doesn't trigger any emotions or anything.

Some people lile her are psychology majors that demand rape isn't talked about in an academic environment. It's part of the field. I'm not being an rear end in a top hat, I'm being a realist. Before you go into a major, expect that what your trigger is will be talked about in an academic environment. We're not in the business of filtering information, were in the business of preparing you for the real world.
