  • The concept of a mental health trigger refers specifically to something that reactivates a traumatic memory and induces serious distress in the person triggered

    the trauma or stress is that everything costs more now in the USA, and provides diminishing returns. This is definitely a trigger. Everything is more expensive, and every place is giving you less of it than they were a decade ago or more. When I was in high school around the 2000s-2010s, you go to a coffee shop, there was no malicious hyper-profit maximizing bullshit. $2-3 max for an iced latte or coffee, and you could just have it customized. You want more milk, less ice? Sure! Now everything is maximum cost, and no. No, we can’t customize that, but it costs 250% more than it did 5 years ago. So yeah, it’s triggering, and I can say it’s triggering because we are FUCKING TIRED OF THIS SHIT. EVERYTHING COSTS SO MUCH MONEY. $6 for a coffee which is HALF ICE??? I can go get a huge ass bag of ice FOR $3!!! Why am I paying SIX DOLLARS… FOR A CUP OF ICE???1???




  • If you want two espresso shots, then you could just have them straight up. It doesn’t really make sense why you would water them down with a bunch of ice, because then it tastes like crap. If I get an iced latte, it should taste like an iced latte, I shouldn’t have to struggle through it by dumping more sugar into it like I’m taking some sort of medical concoction. There are so many things they could do to fill up the cup, add a little bit of milk into it. You guys don’t have milk? I asked them that. Oh well it’s extra to put more milk. Ridiculous I swear












  • Are you sure it’s not a you thing?

    There’s that reddit-esque toxicity, missed that /s why make gaslighting comments like this? As someone pointed out below, most subreddits have karma barriers, and top-level subreddits like ‘gaming’ also put into place ridiculous rules like no reddit auto-generated usernames, which isn’t something that reddit tells you when you signup. So you make an account, have genuine interactions, then get permabanned from 90% of the community because of a rule meant to deter bots (that doesn’t even work). My karma on reddit is generally positive, but that doesn’t matter because moderator opinions over-rule the karma system, which makes no f*cking sense. If people genuinely like your post and appreciate it, but the mod of the subreddit doesn’t like it, banned. Mod doesn’t like you, banned. Mod doesn’t like other communities you’ve commented on, ban. There was a whole debacle about unpopular opinion banning people for commenting on another subreddit so people made true unpopular opinion and true off my chest…and now both of those are just as exclusive and toxic.

    So tl;dr: No it’s not “just a me thing”










  • Honestly, it’s because we are experiencing a massive, unprecedented trash crisis like never before. People cannot find places to throw away trash because there’s so much of it everywhere. It’s a lot of fast food packing materials, disposable silverware, plates, napkins, stuff like that. The fact that trash cans are full everywhere, constantly, and people are trying to clean out their cars all the time anywhere they can… It’s simply screams trash crisis. People just cannot get rid of all the trash that they have, there’s too much coming in and not enough ways to throw it away. We need to stop using disposable crap that goes into the garbage
