        Uh huh. Is that why the global state of affairs is what it is, because it’s easily preventable? We’re being abused in every which way and you think it’s easily preventable… Really?

            Not your plugs, but active noise canceling headphones.

            The difference is that earplugs attenuate sound, but active noise cancelling headphones change the sounds that you hear.

            No, the comment i replied to was talking about abuse. And abuse is rampant in the world, not easily preventable. If you don’t prepare yourself for when it will happen to you, and we all know it will, the shock will likely be too much to bear.

            Slowly building resilience would mean that even without a strong support system, the person won’t collapse when encountering an abusive situation.

            In a world where you can’t be there for them and the world itself doesn’t support them, you gotta prepare them for when they’ll have no choice but to be on their own.

              Yeah but usually ppl don’t care about one wearing earplugs/anc headphones in day to day life. Especially when you explain why.

              Learning how to deal with abuse is a good thing obviously, but I don’t think that we should do that by just abusing people on purpose when it’s not necessary at all. That just has very strong “it builds character” vibes…

              Like the earplug thing just shouldn’t be an issue at all. It seems to be one sometimes, but not allowing someone to wear earplugs won’t prepare them to deal with ppl trying to prevent to do that in the future.

      Sounds mean, but that is one of the dumbest takes I have heard so far. Dunno if you just wanted to sound cool, but one don’t build up a resistance to poison…

        MFer watched too much anime or something. Magical thinking.

        Aggression and bullying damages mental health and micro-aggressions are still aggression. Poison in small doses is still just poison.
