There’s also some interesting studies about word shape that relate to this too. And not just the shape of the letters/words but also the shapes around the letters. So, long blocks of copy in all caps are more difficult to read than the same words set in sentence case.

Yeah. Caffeine is very addictive. It just doesn’t present many health problems in the typical adult.

I’ll throw in an extra $50 if at a meaningful point in the proceedings you choke back a sob and run away dramatically, but drop a photograph that doesn’t seem to relate to my life at all—but maybe it does...

PTSD is insidious. It seeps into your life and impacts you in ways you don’t expect. That’s especially hard when you don’t really remember what happened. But your flashbacks are real, and there’s some good studies out there that show that the memories in flash backs are often more accurate than things that were remembered all along. Your brain isn’t trying to trick you, and you aren’t making it up.
As Parisqueen said, professional can help a lot. PTSD impacts your life in a lot of ways, many of which you may not yet realize.
If you can’t get to a specialist right now, there are anonymous online chat forums that you can help. A couple examples: isurvive [dot] org // aftersilence [dot] org
These are supportive communities that can help you work through some of the things that are plaguing you.
Thanks for having the courage to reach out. You aren’t alone.

Nope. I have no comments on religious/cultural appropriation.
The sign says marriage. Not Christian marriage or Muslim marriage or Jewish marriage. It says marriage.
And the perspective you’re representing is the same perspective that makes people feel like they have the right to deny other people marriage strictly in the legal sense.
If everyone is allowed to take a donut and I choose to lick the frosting off mine it still has no impact on your donut that you choose to eat in what you consider the proper way.

Black and white, a marriage between two people that aren’t in some way related to you doesn’t involve you. The notion that the marriage of two individuals unrelated to you is somehow ruining something of yours (ie your cake/doughnut) suggests that YOU (hypothetical you) are someone more important or meaningful than THEM. It’s their cake, and if they want to lick all the icing off it, it’s their prerogative, but that doesn’t ruin your cake by proxy.
No, it’s really not like licking someone else’s food. Because you said it yourself, marriage is present in many religions. No one religion can claim the right to lord over all marriage. Might be different if we were talking about rituals specific to one religion. But marriage is not specific and it has legal ramifications.

Marriage can be associated with religion (and often is) but in the US (and I suspect many other countries) it is also a legal contract.
That’s where it gets sticky, because it’s fair to say ‘ this religious organization doesn’t approve of that marriage so you can’t do that here.’ But, where legal issues regarding property, beneficiary, health insurance and taxes are concerned, this is not a religious issue. Therefore the marriage contract is not a religious issue.

Okay, but why are you trying to deny all these things. Some of those I would let ride. You don’t need to think about how to deny you sharkiness.

I was driving down the mountain I live on behind a truck and there was a bicyclist coming up the mountain who did this and the trucker honked. Really I was impressed by the whole thing.

Or make them think it’s a small celebration, like a small dinner, but then invite the whole world. But only if the person likes parties.

I hate this question. Okay. I know I’m over thinking it because the meme is all like yeah, it’s not a thing. But no one ever asks a woman if she would be a house wife if her husband earned more. He probably does earn more but still ...
