molten salt reactors

#

safe

#

cant go nuclear

versed pebble
#

I'm gonna buy land in the pacific midwest and open a solar farm

fresh osprey
#

extremely efficient

#

solar farms are way less efficient

#

go nuclear

#

buy land and build a molten salt reactor

#

itll only cost about the same

versed pebble
#

nah, that scares the shit outta me, I know how to fit a solar panel ๐Ÿ˜„

fresh osprey
#

and produce 5x more energy

sharp coral
#

Use thorium instead of uranium.

versed pebble
#

but seriously, the new solar tech coming is awesome

sharp coral
#

Thorium creates much, much less waste.

fresh osprey
versed pebble
#

our phone screens will soon be solar pnaels

sharp coral
#

The only reason we use uranium reactors is bcz you can't nake bombs with thorium.

fresh osprey
#

^

versed pebble
#

yup

fresh osprey
#

its the reason we dont use molten salt

#

they stopped researching it when they found out the bombs didnt work

sharp coral
#

France uses a bunch of nuclear energy

fresh osprey
#

they were on the cusp of testing it as an on plane source of energy

#

imagine a plane with a reactor

#

it cant blow up

#

has almost no radiation

#

no fueling time needed

sharp coral
#

Awesome.

fresh osprey
#

no stop overs to save fuel

versed pebble
#

France also pumps water back up the Ardeche river every ngiht for the hydro dam... now thats cool

fresh osprey
#

its inefficient

versed pebble
#

well that was 20 years ago

sharp coral
#

Just use waterfalls

versed pebble
#

wait, 25... shit I'm old

fresh osprey
#

dams in general are bad

#

they produce methane

#

kill off any migrating fish

#

remove oxygen from the water

sharp coral
#

Oh

fresh osprey
#

and disrupt the entire downstream and upstream ecosystem

sharp coral
#

Shit

fresh osprey
#

they are an example of how to fuck up renewable energy

sharp coral
#

But they're efficient

fresh osprey
#

smaller dams are fine

#

its mostly big dams - Hoover, Hetch Hetchy, that huge one in china

versed pebble
#

yup

#

lake Victoria

fresh osprey
#

they ruin these beautiful natural areas

#

ruin the ecosyste,

#

and produce enough methane to not be worth the renewable factor

#

methane is worse than CO2 short term

versed pebble
#

do you have green skin?

fresh osprey
#

it only lasts about 50 years in the atmosphere, but it has a much larger effect

#

?

versed pebble
#

you just went full tree hippy

fresh osprey
#

no

versed pebble
#

but seriously, I want warp reactors

fresh osprey
#

thats way far away

#

nuclear first

#

then fusion

#

then space

versed pebble
#

well Stephen hawkins is still working on a warp Reactor

fresh osprey
#

if we can get a reactor on a rocket, thats how we go to other planets

versed pebble
#

he joked on teh TNG set that he was building one in his garage ๐Ÿ˜„

fresh osprey
#

right now if you want to go to mars for example, either you dont come back, or you have to bring the fuel with you

#

if your reactor lasts 100 years, and doesnt need much maintenance, all you have to do is get it to fit

versed pebble
#

we've talked about this before haven't we

fresh osprey
#

dont think so

#

reactors a bit

#

but not space travel

sharp coral
#

I must go noe

#

Now*

versed pebble
#

we talked about the Mars travel time

fresh osprey
#

oh

#

yeah we did

#

its a conversation to keep returning to

#

SpaceX is testing their falcon heavy in 9 days

charred pecan
fresh osprey
#

if it works, they will be moving on to a test flight

#

followed by a manned flight

charred pecan
#

Oops wrong channel!

fresh osprey
#

if the test flight works, we will probably have a man on the moon within the next 2 years

#

nah, right channel i think

neon hinge
#

yeah that's ok

fresh osprey
#

its offtopic, so as long as it isnt self promotion most stuff is okay isnt it?

neon hinge
#

Well yeah

#

But certain things are banned

#

Like explicit topics and so on

fresh osprey
#

ofc

neon hinge
#

More or less

versed pebble
#

plus we have to find SOMETHING that leads to panda sex, those buggers are so damned lazy

fresh osprey

not lazy

#

nope, lazy

Nah, they're actually lazy xD

That's why they're in danger

they arent lazy

Good thing we're not living on Alderaan.

shadow plover
#

Sorry if this is a weird question, not sure how offtopic offtopic is allowed to get, but does anyone have experience in electrical wiring/electronics/lithium polymer batteries? Even better if you're a lightsaber hobbyist. D;

neon hinge
#

That's an acceptable offtopic topic, worry not ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

versed pebble
#

lightsaber hobbyist is a thing?

fallen nexus
#

Why use a lithium polymer battery?

#

Yes, it's a thing.

#

Google "Prop Lightsaber"

#

Those are people who do it for a living.

Ugh, when did they add a crown next to my name. Take it away! lol

Last update afaik

I can see it, a local fencing school here does a lightsaber class

I've got people who would say more Queen then King. ๐Ÿ˜›

versed pebble
#

well darling, you pull it off aswell as Ru Paul!

#

seriously though, if you don;t want it, make Perc the server owner

frosty tundra
#

She wouldn't want that anymore than I do. I'm fine with things the way they are but I don't need it so easily advertised. ๐Ÿคท

versed pebble
#

it would be good to have an option for sure

#

ping discord a tweet

shadow plover
#

@fallen nexus Exactly lol. I ordered a lightsaber that I just learned has a lipo battery, which makes me understandably nervous. I wanted external confirmation from someone that this was a weird design choice and that dueling with a lipo battery is a bad idea.

versed pebble
#

so it would seem someone from PC Gamer is listening to us :O

Nerdist

For almost as long as there have been Star Wars fans, customized lightsabers have filled the gap for anyone who wanted to feel that they were one with the Force. And while the makeshift lightsabers have come a long way from using modified broomsticks, the basic principle remains true today. And as demonstrated in the latest episode of Rooster Teeth's Master & Apprentice series, sometimes an official lightsaber toy can be used to make something even more impressive. ๏ปฟ First brought to our attention via Laughing Squid, veteran production designer Marcus Gray LaPorte and his cosplay loving apprentice, Adam Ellis, took the time to carefully explain the steps of their lightsaber creation process. Both men came to this build with an idea in mind for their weapons: LaPorte wanted a lightsaber that resembled the ones used by the Knights of Ren, while Ellis wanted something worthy of a Jedi. But as Ellis noted in the video, sometimes it's important to learn when to let go of the original

#

plus everyone knows you need a sub micron warp reactor to properly power one

#

(I have no fucking idea relaly, electric engineering is something I would love to learn)

shadow plover
#

It's not too late! ๐Ÿ˜ƒ I know next to nothing, but people have been really nice.

versed pebble
#

my limit is basic soldering, especially on pc components, but I can follow directions

#

I don't think dragon would be too happy with me making one though

shadow plover
#

Honestly basic soldering is all you need for most kits. ๐Ÿ˜ƒ And I'm trying to not-so-subtly convince my boyfriend to get a lightsaber as well so we can make it a couples' hobby and not a "your-girlfriend-spent-WHAT" hobby. :X

versed pebble
#

yeah, Dragon (wifey) would much rather I learn to turn her phone into a Star Fleet communicator

#

but then considering she's having henna trill spots done for a Star Trek con, well, not relaly surprising

vapid sable
#

Bluetooth Starfleet badge.

#

Which seems to be a thing already.

versed pebble
#

got one

#

but she wants a ToS communicator

#

there is a bluetooth one too

fallen nexus
#

@shadow plover - LiPo is indeed a weird choice for as electronic like that.

#

Especially with LiOn being much more universal now.

shadow plover
#

What bugs me is it was listed with a LiOn battery. He only told me it was LiPo when I asked if it had circuit protection. :\ I'm going to try and replace it, but I haven't seen the internals so I don't know how complicated that's going to be.

fallen nexus
#

If it was listed as one and sold as another I would just outright ask for a refund.

#

Out of principle.

versed pebble
#

agreed

fallen nexus
#

Find out who makes it and contact them.

shadow plover
#

It's directly from the manufacturer. I wrote to them about how it wasn't listed accurately and am waiting to hear how they respond.

#

Thanks for validating my concern!

#

I'm new so I never know if I'm just misunderstanding some component or w/e. but lipo batteries blow up! lol

fallen nexus
#

LiPo batteries in high-energy drain devices make absolutely zero sense.

#

If they won't offer a refund, contact your bank and explain exactly what you've said here.

#

99% of banks would issue a chargeback on principle.

There is always an Overwatch League.

damn, my gym is ยฃ22 a month ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

frosty tundra
#

This is a mix of a gym with personal training. But cheaper than personal training.

#

It's interesting, in one hour you do weight lifting, rowing, treadmil, and then another thing of strength training. Each class isn't perdicatable, it's always different, and you're doing it as a group. It's surprisingly engaging.

versed pebble
#

yeah, mine does a monthly "how you doing" class

frosty tundra
#

You wear a heart monitor and then there's screens with your % of max heart rate and certain color levels you should try to maintain. And then at the end you get a report of your calories, distance, all that jazz.

versed pebble

yeah, all precor kit here, so i can look up my training online too, useful when the doctor asks me if I'm being honest :d

im satisfied with my 60 dollars tbh

i got at least 20 hours of content

#

and i enjoyed the gameplay

#

but wtf is bungie smoking to make them think that their roadmap has anything substantial on it?

versed pebble
#

I'd agree with you totally there peach

fresh osprey
#

its like they just told everyone "hey we meant to rework these things before the game was released, but then activision made us release it, so now instead of new content, enjoy these system reworks"

#

im all for system reworks, and if they add new content as part of that, cool! But im not going back to the game to play through the same shit just because they changed how my abilities worked or made some guns better or worse

versed pebble

I amSO SICK of the EDZ

reddit is sharing similar sentiments

not as upset, but they essentially want reasons to log in

I thank you for listeninh (well reading), I am a bit nervous too

While the channel maybe be branded "offtopic" that doesn't mean that links to completely random sites in such an advertisement-type manner are kosher.

Ah, I see. I read the welcome section (which has nothing about links) and the website multiple times. I guess I can kinda see how someone might consider a friendly music channel as advertising or soliciting.

Redacted that. Looks like there were a tad more than four.

mediamattersforamerica:

OOOOOOOOOK.

Sheโ€™s got a really good point.

I like how MMfAโ€™s only response was going โ€œI doubt thisโ€ without an actual counterargument.

Or maybe it was monkey noises.

Hey @mediamattersforamerica, where did you get that first screencap? The header? Because thatโ€™s not what your article link says.

Lara Trump tells Fox that women who marched are too dumb to know why theyโ€™re anti-Trump, โ€œThey just think thatโ€™s the thing to doโ€

Which is an accurate description of her position. You appear to have omitted some important context from that headline.

I didnโ€™t actually read the article before, but, uhโ€ฆ

[LARA] TRUMP: Melania is incredible, and she has taken everything with such grace and class and, honestly, I give her so much credit. But the reality is, when it comes to the left, when it comes to Democrats, they are okay with all women as long as you have their same opinion on things. And itโ€™s very evidentย here.

HMMM.

I checked some of the comments, and of course theyโ€™re long on snark and attacking Trump, but short on responding to Laraโ€™s actual point. None of them defend te Womenโ€™s March with actualy evidence. Itโ€™s just good because it opposes Trumpโ€ฆsomehow.

Lmao holy shit look at that spin

Sheโ€™s on point and theyโ€™re just mad about it.

that's why I even pull out a thesaurus to begin with

spring heath

It distresses me lmao

young frigate
#

anxiety, anguish, adversity? you said you were thinking of an a-wrod

spice goblet

The dictionary is written and edited by human beings with internal biases

spring heath
#

Anguish might have been it, I had already used anxiety

spice goblet
#

As such, what meigender said, is true

spring heath
#

And I experience anxiety almost daily, so I certainly won't forget it.

ashen parrot
#

the dictionary is not a be-all end-all reference for determining the meaning or impact of words. social context needs to be considered.

On the other hand, it's actually a primary source unlike all those points all of you made. Pretty sure points made from a personal viewpoint are equally if not more biased.

spice goblet
#

Well, buddy, I do more research than like 2 seconds of glancing at another tab before i use a term wrong

#

you should too, tbh but as always, i can't control anyone but myself

ashen parrot
#

I've been following the usage of the word for a fair amount of time. I rarely use it but eh, it fit...therefore...

young frigate
#

how is it so hard to understand that some language causes harm to other people, whether directly or otherwise, and adjust your usage accordingly?

spice goblet
#

it did not fit

#

and it will not, in any context fit, unless you use it in a medical environment

ashen parrot
#

how is it so hard to understand that some language causes harm to other people, whether directly or otherwise, and adjust your usage accordingly?

As opposed to butthurt?

spring heath
#

I would almost suggest 'squick' but in that context it didn't fit, either.

ashen parrot
#

well that and squick is fairly obscure.

spring heath
#

...That's fair.

#

Make me feel old, fuck

#

โค

spice goblet
#

"butthurt" doesn't have any other definition than what is basically "distressed beyond belief at something petty"

ashen parrot
#

I try to avoid the usage of words that are too obscure. I had enough of that studying for the damn SATs.

young frigate
#

by using "triggered" to mean "mildly upset" you are essentially belittling the lived experiences of those with PTSD and similar disorders.

spring heath
#

See, I relate the word 'butthurt' with people actively trying to offend others.

ashen parrot
#

But butthurt can certainly be informally used as a means of conveying a state of distress that is to say, being upset.

spring heath
#

Could just use 'upset'

#

Shrug

ashen parrot
#

Probably. In hindsight, I might as well have done that.

unreal bluff
#

As someone who suffers occasional diarrhea, I think โ€œbutthurtโ€ is a relatable and appropriate term.

ashen parrot
#

But since we're having such a lively discussion about it it would be pretty wrong to go back and make an edit now.

unreal bluff
#

Sorry if TMI

spring heath
#

Lol Adha

spice goblet
#

Interest, not to be a dick, but it's good to do more than 2 seconds of research when trying to find the right word

ashen parrot
#

See I want to say something about my personal issues of being literally butthurt but uh...

spring heath
#

XD

#

Yall

#

Are awful

I did do more than 2 seconds of research.

Alright, enough with the research card

Already do. That's not the problem lol.

Also, lol splurge.

young frigate
#

it's a word

ashen parrot

That's the most unfortunate word to use in this context.

spring heath
#

young frigate
#

it just means spend frivolously

spice goblet
#

As long as none of us aren't literal nazis or white supremacists or some shit, we're fixable

spring heath
#

Ew

ashen parrot
#

it just means spend frivolously

I know, but this is one of those cases where it can be used informally to describe er...something.

young frigate
#

gross

ashen parrot
#

I mean really REALLY think about it for a moment.

young frigate
#

no. that's splooge

#

you're thinking of splooge

spring heath
#

That's 'sploosh'

#

Or.. that

spice goblet
#

i swear tho, guys

ashen parrot
#

But considering the word sounds similar enough, yes I do consider it a rather unfortunate usage of the word considering the context.

spice goblet
#

(and ladies/ humans)

unreal bluff
#

Yeah uh splurge just means to spend on the name-brand instead of the cheap generic equivalent

young frigate
#

I'm barely human but that works

ashen parrot
#

And here we see an example of how informal word usage can work.

spice goblet
#

the most overused wrongly word, i think, is psychopath

#

second worst, triggered

ashen parrot
#

I can't say I disagree. It's certainly highly underused.

spice goblet
#

third worst, ... dunno

ashen parrot
#

However, I do think triggered has largely established itself and furthermore, it actually has defined roots that make a reasonable connection to the common usage today.

spring heath
#

That's ok, I once accidentally switched 'exotic' with 'erotic' when asking my teacher if I could have an 'exotic drink' in class. Luckily I was the first student in the room so only she heard.

spice goblet
#

Interest

#

how

young frigate
#

@spice goblet horror movies definitely haven't helped with that first one

#

or just. the understanding of mental disorders in general.

spring heath
#

Probably

spice goblet
#

how has it largely established itself as anything more or less than an insult? it's supposed to be a medical term

ashen parrot
#

Because of the definition I brought up previously. Also, before the usage of the word became what it is....today, where the problem is more that it's overused beyond belief over other similar words, I actually think of triggered more as like say....a switch flipping.

spice goblet
#

and yea, mei. i agree

ashen parrot
#

That is to say, the act of triggering some sort of event, with the switch doing exactly that.

spice goblet
#

but it's used like.... 3 times per episode (may or may not be an exaggeration) on Archer

spring heath
#

Sploosh?

spice goblet
#

then again, Archer does have a lot of controversial and potentially offensive shit in it so

unreal bluff
#

Okay but how do people with literal PTSD and other issues reclaim the word?

ashen parrot
#

And if you really think a switch flip and the concept of triggering do not make sense together then uh, yeah.

spring heath
#

and I think you watch too much Archer, man.

spice goblet
#

ik

ashen parrot
#

Also, trigger in and of itself, as well as all of its derivatives, are fairly common words.

spice goblet
#

Archer is honestly probably the best adult cartoon

spice goblet

it's probably used "triggered" once or twice in that context

but definitely not to the extent that it's used psychopath

Havenโ€™t heard good things about Rick and Morty either to be honest

Arsonite, I'm curious as to where you got your very specific definition of the word trigger(ed) by the way.

I guaran-gorram-tee you I have a higher officially tested IQ than most of the people who claim to be smart after their internet IQ tests.

ashen parrot
#

i got my definition from researching Anxiety, Depression, and other mental disorders

I'm afraid we're going to have major disagreements then. There are a lot of usages of the word trigger, much like with set.

spice goblet
#

you must be new here

unreal bluff
#

Not that IQ means anything outside โ€” you know what Interest

ashen parrot
#

and the common one certainly seems reasonable to determine as a predecessor to well...the common usage today.

i have disagreements with almost everyone here

get in line, boi

unreal bluff
#

People politely asked โ€œcould you please not use that word in that contextโ€

#

Instead you argued

Pretty sure I'm the OG of this.

unreal bluff
#

Donโ€™t be an asshole

spice goblet
#

i doubt that

ashen parrot
#

People politely asked โ€œcould you please not use that word in that contextโ€ Instead you argued

I argued with the point of it not being an appropriately used word, not whether it should be or not. In fact, I agreed that in hindsight I could've chosen a different word.

spice goblet
#

you're not the OG of disagreements until you can have disagreements with someone who is, otherwise, your mental clone

unreal bluff
#

The proper response is โ€œah, sorry, didnโ€™t mean to upset anyone. Iโ€™ll avoid it in futureโ€

ashen parrot
#

As you can see, Arsonite is focusing on a very specific usage of the word, instead of the numerous commonly used definitions.

spice goblet
#

because i pride myself on using words correctly

ashen parrot
#

You mean like I said a few minutes ago?

Probably. In hindsight, I might as well have done that.

young frigate
#

@unreal bluff that autie high-IQ feel

unreal bluff
#

Jfc. Interest. PUT DOWN THE SHOVEL.

ashen parrot
#

At this point Arsonite and I are just mincing words over how the word should be used more than anything.

#

Mostly by discussing origin definitions.

young frigate
#

Everyone Else In This Chat and You, you mean

unreal bluff
#

Can you maybe do it in PMs?

spice goblet
#

hold up, i'm doin' research

unreal bluff
#

I need a second fucking rizatriptan

spice goblet
#

because apparently i'm the only one in this 1 on 1+ spat who cares to do actual research

ashen parrot
#

You could just quickly Google search one word, then look at the various contexts it is used.

#

I prefer towards vetting sources to make sure they actually make sense, so..

young frigate
#

you used it in a specific context, though.

spice goblet
#

i have something for that on my tumblr

#

gimme a min

unreal bluff
#

IT DOESNโ€™T FUCKING MATTER HOW MANY PEOPLE USE A WORD INCORRECTLY

ashen parrot
#

You are right, I did use it in a specific context, and I think the way I used it fit because of the origin definition I cited.

spice goblet
#

Also, Interest

#

you're subscribing to a logical fallacy

ashen parrot
#

Which is really just one of many.

spice goblet
#

i forget what it's called atm but it'll come to me

unreal bluff
#

The fact people say โ€œMongoloidโ€ as a slur against people with Down syndrome doesnโ€™t make it okay to use it in that context

young frigate
#

there are many reasons that word isn't ok

spice goblet
#

the logical fallacy is, "because a certain people think so and so, so and so must be true"

unreal bluff
#

Youโ€™re not just digging yourself into a hole, youโ€™re approaching the asthenosphere

ashen parrot
#

there are many reasons that word isn't ok

But as I said, I already acknowledged I used the word inappropriately, not wrongfully.

spice goblet
#

but... you did use it wrongfully

ashen parrot
#

There's a difference. Arsonite and I are arguing whether I used it wrongfully.

unreal bluff
#

(Thatโ€™s a geology term, in case you canโ€™t be arsed to โ€œโ€researchโ€โ€)

spice goblet
#

no, man. you're arguing

ashen parrot
#

Considering I am familiar with the suffix, it was easy enough to figure out.

#

the logical fallacy is, "because a certain people think so and so, so and so must be true"

I believe you might mean something like confirmation bias...or genetics.

spice goblet
#

A trauma trigger is an experience that causes someone to recall a previous traumatic memory, although the trigger itself need not be frightening or traumatic and can be indirectly or superficially reminiscent of an earlier traumatic incident. Tra...

#

no, i mean something else

ashen parrot
#

It's certainly possible, but here's the thing.

#

There is this thing on a firearm that when pulled, makes it fire. What is it again?

#

Oh yes, it's called a trigger.

unreal bluff
#

I have actual fucking work to do, jfc. You all have fun with this

ashen parrot
#

Which in itself is synonymous with switch.

#

This of course can be used in a number of um...more tasteful contexts

young frigate
#

that's an entirely different definition. that isn't what's being argued about.

ashen parrot
#

But people call that thing on the gun a trigger normally so there you go.

#

Right, but the noun definition and the verb definition have a relation.

#

The verb definition, I already pasted in.

#

That is to say, the act of triggering, to trigger, etc. It's not exactly the same but fairly similar to "to pull on a switch"

spice goblet
#

The original definition of the word means "To pull", true but as that can be taken to mean...
"To pull something/ someone's strings" in such a way that they are far beyond upset

#

i.e, medical term

#

As always, Interest, it's good to read between the lines

ashen parrot
#

On the other hand, it could be considered in a more visceral sense. You flipped their emotional switch or the like. It certainly doesn't need to go as far as the medical context to really become understandable.

#

Or, to put it another way and hopefully not in any sort of offensive context, the act of being triggered. Pretty sure this should be fine.

spice goblet
#

The "act of being triggered" should not mean "upset over something meaningless"

young frigate
#

you know, it's things like this that make people who are suffering unable to talk about their experiences without fear of being invalidated or belittled. people can't talk about "triggers" because they've been led to believe it just means "things which make a person mildly upset" and not "things which trigger a panic attack".

ashen parrot
#

Overall thought process, to simplify:

Trigger (object, noun) - a switch -> trigger (verb, derivative) - the act of flipping the switch/causing something to happen due to the switch -> triggered (verb, past) - the state caused by something happening due to the switch.

#

That's a fair point.

#

But unfortunately that's what happens when a fairly common word is used. Stuff like this becomes fair game and yes, I do think it's fair game even if there is a more focused usage.

#

Again, going back to the fact the word "set" exists.

young frigate
#

I don't think it's fair at all. It's not fair on people with mental illness that other people can't adjust their language to accommodate the needs of those who have had traumatic experiences.

ashen parrot
#

But in that case, it would be inappropriate/offensive, not incorrect.

#

Which I acknowledged a fair bit of time ago.

spring heath
#

He did

spice goblet
#

inappropriate can also mean incorrect

#

as such, which definition are you using?

#

also, my tumblr is going so damn slow rip

ashen parrot
#

Sure, but I'm pretty certain you mean my interpretation of the word trigger and how I arrived at the usage of the derived word is just wrong, not something meant to say, mock people with medical issues (intentionally or unintentionally).

#

And ultimately, that is where I got the word from - a fairly innocuous, common (assuming the fact trigger is a word associated with guns can even be considered innocuous) that can be used to describe emotional state in a specified form.

spice goblet
#

regardless, leaving aside the entire argument,
if you don't intend to look like an asshole, why in the fuck would you use a word as controversial, offensive, and shitty like triggered?

ashen parrot
#

I'm pretty sure that's where the medical term is also derived from but well, English.

#

Word grasping on my part. It was not the best of ideas.

#

Mind you, I usually have words like "butthurt" outright ignored.

#

Triggered, however, can actually be used in an inoffensive context, so I can't just throw it on a mental ignore list.

spring heath
#

I tend to gloss over most people who use that term on principle.

spice goblet
#

at this point, i don't think anyone really cares about the word "butthurt"

#

the word, triggered however

ashen parrot
#

Eh well I dislike butthurt for a couple reasons.

spice goblet
#

people DO care

ashen parrot
#
  1. It's a tad too informal for most conversations I have.
  2. It's almost solely used in an offensive context, unlike the other word.
spice goblet
#

you don't gotta look formal all the time

ashen parrot
#

Right, but I do like to hold myself to a certain standard.

spice goblet
#

however, if you do care about being formal, put more effort into research.

ashen parrot
#

I kind of did.

#

I was aware of the specified definition but also the more common ones. Simple as that.

young frigate
#

if you want to hold yourself to a certain standard of formality using the word "triggered" isn't really going to help you with that

unreal bluff
#

I know there are at least a couple other folks in here who play WildStar

ashen parrot
#

Right, but that was a mistake.

unreal bluff
ashen parrot
#

And as I mentioned, that word is in my vocabulary for a reason.

spice goblet
#

contrary to popular belief, something widely considered to be true cannot, by definition, be true just for that.
It also allows one to consider if something widely considered as true is more stupid than something which is not

ashen parrot
#

Oh and Hunter bias might have something to do with it. I'm sure one could figure out what I mean by that part.

ashen parrot

contrary to popular belief, something widely considered to be true cannot, by definition, be true just for that. It also allows one to consider if something widely considered as true is more stupid than something which is not

At the same time:

  1. The language related to the word trigger has already been long established and I was drawing on that.

  2. Language in itself can change over time with usage (there's a reason we don't use a lot of old English anymore, for example).

unreal bluff
#

(Seriously. Heโ€™s got some of the best dialogue in the game)

ashen parrot
#

That's a pretty good price for a shirt, all things considered.

#

Oh also

#
  1. The definition you're citing is likely based on the origin definition I was referring to.
unreal bluff
#

Oh, and not sure how clear it is from that screenshot, but he doesnโ€™t really wear a shirt.

#

๐Ÿ˜„

spice goblet
#
  1. The language related to the word trigger which has been long established is the medical term. Before that, is the term "to pull." Sometime after the medical term came about, the meme-definition came about.
  2. You're referencing something which I never brought up. I never cited the historic context as aid of my argument. I cited it after I saw your words about its origins. Language obviously changes over time but that is not what we're discussing. We are discussing the true definition of the word "triggered" and how it came to be used in a medical context. Yes, it might in certain interpretations be used in the way you described but these days everything is interpreted in so many ways, it's tedious.
  3. See 2.
unreal bluff
#

Good god, everyone, just block and move on. The argument is going nowhere

spice goblet
#

Also, for 2... As things are interpreted in multiple ways, the true meanings of the words are jumbled

ashen parrot
#

Arsonite, that doesn't change the fact it's possible to exclusively use the origin definition. I already described the thought process leading to that.

unreal bluff

<@&299347348847329281>

Adhara, just because we are having a disagreement doesn't mean we need to block each other. That kind of ruins the point of the conversation anyways.

No worries. I'm having such a fun night.

But really though, we're having a discussion. It's been fairly civil. Do as you wish, but I would consider it unfair to try to lay down the law (mostly because there's not a lot to lay the law down on).

#

23 minutes? That's amateur numbers ๐Ÿ˜›

spice goblet
#

true though, but laws are interpreted in many different ways, as are the definitions of words. So, we should probably move the convo to PM if you're open to further discussion

ashen parrot

fair enough

fallen nexus

I have an idea though. Let's drop the argument entirely.
It's not getting anyone anywhere prouctive, and it's really just a giant wall of text that all-in-all, comes out to be a moot point.
