    He’s a spicy one, I’ve been poking him for a week or two. He’s about to snap, I can feel it in my bones.

      Did it occur to anyone that “triggering” those who have had or are on the verge of a complete mental break could exacerbate the issues? Like do we really want to be the straw that causes a suicide or mass shooting?

        You ain’t wrong but also there is the classic FAFO maxim.

        If you monk says stupid shit, we can’t expect people NOT to return the favour.

        But yea if you sense somebody is not mentally well, then people best to take the high road.

      That sounds like you’re admitting to trolling. Are you talking about me, or the guy in OP’s post?

        I feel approaching storms in my bones. But I’m also old as dirt.

          Wait until you get hearing aids. My friend’s grandmother had one of those cochlear types of hearing aids, and she could hear thunderstorms before they were supposed to even occur.
