If you need trigger warnings you need to be in therapy.

If you want to avoid certain content you can do research on it and avoid it.

If you're avoiding your trauma and expecting the rest of the world to conform to your avoidance strategy you need therapy.

Story from a few years ago was someone in a history course wanting to avoid discussion/essay on a particular topic due to PTSD; he went to the professor and worked out an alternative that was quite reasonable.

You know who doesn't do that? The trigger warning group. They want to use avoidance strategies that pretend issues don't exist.

If you're in treatment and utilizing trigger warnings - great.

If you're not in treatment and you're relying on trigger warnings you need to seek expert level therapy now.

Guess whos usually the ines complaining about the lack of trigger warnings... hint, it isnt the first group.

Comment Trigger warnings (Score 1) 155

if you need trigger warnings the first question to ask:

Are you being treated for your trauma? If not, the trigger warning is useless to you as it only encourages avoidance behavior if you're relying on it anyway.

There are some narrow circumstances where I think they're relevant to everybody, but their prevalence diminishes that and results in exactly what this paper points out.

I use TV ratings to determine if something is of interest sometimes. Sex? Yes. Violence? Yes. Etc. often times shows without any of them are just simply boring.

No.

Consist deviated under the two circumstances is pretty well studied. A substantial number of readings in a doctors office are high. Within certain margins it's accounted for, obviously there are people that exhibit the effect more than others.

But taking blood pressure correctly is generally not difficult, can be readily trained for and if necessary can be demonstrated easily by both parties.

Getting results which are consistent, wrong, but approximately in the correct range is actually quite hard.

Comment Terms of service (Score 2) 18

Terms of service aren't much of a concern here. Honestly, completely irrelevant unless OpenAI opens up 30,000 streams at once.

Terms of service have little value in court when it comes to scraping of content that doesn't cause issues with the service itself. Contract violation with near zero repercussions.

Comment User Problem (Score 5, Funny) 243

I have a gaming laptop with two USB-A and USB-C ports, and it's a constant struggle to connect all my devices simultaneously without needing a hub. I use the two USB-A ports for my mouse and wireless headset dongles, while a phone charging cable and portable monitor take up the USB-Cs. This setup stresses me out because there's no extra space to connect anything else without losing functionality.

That's entirely why they inventing docking stations.
