      It’s critical thinking. In life, it’s not always about knowing but about understanding.

      It’s also about having thick skin and the ability to take a joke. Nobody is hurt, it is funny when you think about it, and it will encourage you to think about things in the future.

      I do not need to know turn signals don’t require blinker fluid. Because it’s a fuckin light bulb.

      The people in this comments section are acting like this is somehow traumatic. How fucking sheltered are you people?

        We know that, through much study, it really isn’t. And the negatives outweigh the positives especially compared to other methods. It’s a trauma response more than anything at that point and if it does work they probably just used those skills to realize what an asshole the shamer was/is.

            I’m not here to play olympics with people who struggle to empathize with others. I’m sorry awful things have happened to you, that doesn’t give you any right to invalidate someone else’s pain.

              My god guys it was terrible, my Dad sent me to the store for a bucket of steam, and the cashier laughed at me.

              How was I supposed to know steam didn’t come in pre-packaged buckets? Nobody ever explained the particulars of steam packaging!

              Literally nothing worse could ever happen to me. Now I’ll be in therapy for years.
