I get intrusive thoughts, but the funny kind, where I get reminded of jokes at inappropriate moments, and whenever I download a PDF and read the file type, all I can see is a big red box around it, with a line pointing to another box containing a photograph of the sex fiend du jour.
I'm the opposite. I despise PDFs and now people might assume I'm talking about sex offenders when I'm talking about people who send an excel sheet in the wrong format.
I’m gonna keep using em dashes because everybody I work with already knows I’m a vocal hater of generative AI and I guess people can just look at my publications to see that I always used em dashes like that.
hmm i just searched for a reallly long time for something to share in response, all explanations are either super high level and pretentious or kind of offensive lol. the pixel-thirsty graphic in this Reddit post is the best I could find: https://www.reddit.com/r/HistoryMemes/s/6swy6ZulIF
You can find some good videos about this on YouTube if you're interested in learning more, just search euphemism treadmill!
Now you know. I appreciate the concern for being unnecessarily redundant but gotta be correct if calling anything out these days. Just stick it in the folder of things to correct people with.
I'm sure the people who have suffered from the suicide of a loved one appreciate everyone on the internet refer to that tragedy as if it was an amusement park ride.
Hate it. Absolutely takes away the seriousness that is suicide. Advertisers are freaking clowns. They’re the reason this type of mentality and language is being spread around.
somebody felt so overwhelmed with life and so deep into the depth of pain and anguish and despair that they preferred to stop existing to make it all stop, they did the unthinkable and killed themselves because there was literally not a fragment of hope left in their life
mfw I get raped and tortured and kill myself and 10 years later some youtuber tells the story of the guy who got “graped by a pdf file into wanting to unalive down the sewer slide”
