It’s a bit of a case by case thing. Something similar (near death experience) didn’t cure my depression, but the newfound nihliphobia definitely diverted my suicidal ideation. Now I just have an existential panic attack whenever I think about death or time too much. 👍

I totally agree, except the final paragraph. I think the source of the communication issue is a combination of perceived tone in your initial comment and the sensitivity of the subject. Not to fully blame either. So I don’t think people are being belligerent or willfully ignorant.

Conversations like these are a minefield, so don’t take it personally if you stumble. And remember why the minefield is there in the first place. Sometimes you just gotta back out, or set off more mines you meant to disarm.

Metaphor got a bit lost, but I think you get the point.

Many people refuse to acknowledge the nuance of language development. Especially when mixed with what is socially acceptable. Because that’d mean conceding they could be hurting people.

I’ll join you in the downvotes. You may be oversimplifying a bit too, but I see where you’re coming from.

Dude jerks to the left last minute and your buddy loses a finger

Brilliant. And a suspicious number of them could have experience working backstage in a theatre.

Even calling that hallowed out shell a car is a big stretch.
