    Seriously though, what is the deal with Gaelic romanization

    why doesn't it follow the more common pronunciations

    Celtic languages are like that. Look at Welsh.

    I was reading my feminist blogs

    and there was a trigger warning for people dancing and having fun

    a trigger warning for people dancing and having fun

    what does this mean?

    i do not understand.

    A trigger warning, which I generally agree with, is basically used on feminist blogs to say 'hi if you have ptsd or a disorder of some kind, this post may trigger your illness'

    So like it stops you from scrolling from a post about lol republicans and lol look at my cats to omg a teenage girl was drugged and raped and it was filmed how terrible and then you freak out because you weren't expecting it

    Basically someone out there is so concerned about triggering someone else she trigger warnings videos of people

    dancing

    and

    having

    fun

    some people say that texting and other vulgar truncations of language will be the death of communication

    but i think this sort of shit will be

    During lunch I basically blew up about the Star Wars Expanded Universe. How the morality system makes no sense and how you either have to be an incredibly pious prick or else you fall into the path of becoming a nihilistic font of rage and power.
