Usually when someone says
- "Hey listen to this awesome new song by Bastille"
or
- "Joey Votto can take as many walks as he wants, but he's still not an RBI guy and that's why he'll never be as good as Brandon Phillips was"
or
- "[Shakespeare/The Beatles/Charles Dickens/Van Gogh] [isn't/wasn't] really that good, I mean, I like, get why they're famous but come on they're not thaaaaaat good"
I go into convulsions and puke a little
But the first one especially. You could get me to go all Clockwork Orange "I had a powerful urge, to, like, snuff it, brother" if you lock me in a room and play Bastille

Don't worry, my friend. If this be the end, then so shall it be.

I will never understand how Bastille have become as popular as they are. Apparently there's a market for music that sounds like four Etonians being fellated with sandpaper, who knew.

I think I'm pretty un-triggerable. I don't get triggered by lone words, only violent or aggressive actions
People trivialise this shit though. "Triggered" has just become a funny joke to people because it's so ridiculous online now.

Getting triggered is actually quite a serious problem for people with anger issues, PTSD etc. Unfortunately people have misused the term so much so that now it's considered as a joke to describe thin-skinned losers that take offense on almost every single living thing and flips out hysterically.

This is honestly too true. I have PTSD, so I definitely identify with this. The word "trigger" doesn't align with it anymore because of that misuse, just as you've said.
That being said, for me, it takes more than just a word to set me off. Multiple things can draw out the wrong memories at the wrong times, but not specific words. That idea probably comes from all of the misuse. That's where the silliness starts to seep in.

Mine are, and yes I'm serious.
Fridge - it's ice box
Veggies - Vegitables people!!
Couch - it's a sofa..
Bucketlist - I hate this word
Soda - coke, soft drink or cold drink
Political Correct - it's called being a pussy not trying to offend anyone
Can't think of any more at the moment.
My trigger words are any trigger words that other people can't spell properly.
For example:
Vegetables.

How about - the word "trigger", when used by morons, who don't know what it means?...

Of course you're serious - humor requires certain level of intelligence.
(January 2, 2017 at 3:02 pm)Loading Please Wait Wrote: Fridge - it's ice box
Nope, it's a "fridge" - short for "refrigerator". "Ice box" is a box with ice in it. If you clean your fridge regularly (or get your mother to do it) - there won't be any ice in it.

No, it's "vegetables"... Are you sure you should be nitpicking English words, if English clearly isn't your first language?

Well - it's called a "synonym". Certain things have more than one name.

(January 2, 2017 at 3:02 pm)Loading Please Wait Wrote: Soda - coke, soft drink or cold drink
Nope. "Coke" is a brand name of a particular kind of carbonated drink - cola. "Soft drink" is any drink without alcohol. And "cold drink" is any beverage, that's not warm, or hot - imagine that.

" Not trying to offend"? Do you mean, that anyone, who's not currently making an effort to insult someone is politically correct ("political" would be an adjective - but I guess you missed that lesson in school too)? Or did you mean to say "trying not to offend anyone", but you're retarded and can't use words correctly? You don't have to answer - we all know

Yes, I'm sure you must be having a headache and a nose-bleed by now, from all this thinking. Better go lie down.
