  • Hey, you’re really good at getting me thinking!! To present myself as nonadversarially as possible, if I may I’ll spoiler some thoughts/questions below…

    BUT! I really wanna have a pleasant chat about it. Good topic, respecting others. Anyway:

    Tap for spoiler

    Any right the OP retains to free expression on their opinion, if it’s a safe space?

    Any thoughts on calling a behavior stupid in public where it may hurt a stranger’s feelings versus telling a specific person it would be wrong to participate in an activity?

    & how could we share an opinion if we feel smoking is bad - anyway to do it without telling people what they can do to their own bodies? Or should we not offer opinions on smoking because it’s too paternalistic, telling them how to live their lives?

    Also e.g. racists are poopy but for stuff we choose (apply ink to skin) are the haters necessarily not just big giant haters but actually BAD PEOPLE? (suggestion I guess is “Notice how this giant HATER stopped replying …” but hypothetically in a different thread “See how this low-life racist clown stopped replying” would not earn a comment from me … which I’m now reflecting on, maybe I should diss actions not people… I digress)


  • I can totally make something up!

    Something bad happens to you & you expect It have a subconscious impact on you for the rest of your life, mainly in a negative way. So you go get the tattoo to have a visual reminder that at the end of it all, you were able to overcome. So you have a physical thing to try to help your mental health as a way to offset the intangible ongoing mental impact.

    (PERSONALLY pretty sure I’d rather keep bad vibes off my skin)
