Is this a reference to the 79-year-old woman who was served absurdly hot (near-boiling) coffee, was hospitalised with burns over 16% of her skin for eight days, and has since unfairly been the poster child for frivolous lawsuits?
She got $640,000 which in the US I imagine barely covers the costs of her stay in hospital, nevermind two years of medical treatment.
Not intentionally, no. It was a reference to an incident I saw a few years ago in which a child in a high chair burned themselves on the parents hot coffee. This was apparently the manager of the branches fault. Much shouting ensued.
I feel like if someone is offended by something that’s not directed at them then it’s their fault. They also know what they’re doing isn’t right, but instead of taking responsibility and addressing the problem they attack other people for being insensitive.
Example: if I share a T-Nation post about being fat and someone gets offended then maybe rest should stop being fat and sensitive. The post isn’t the problem. Their choices are the problem. However, owning one’s decisions and consequences is hard, but blaming others (and doing nothing) is easy.
The roundoff was easy and the most primitive child portion of my brain screamed, “add a back handspring and a backflip!!” I’d be in heaven if I listened to that child.
I confess that as someone that was a fat kid playing Magic the Gathering in middle school, I’m offended that people are just NOW saying it’s ok to be fat and a nerd.
It’s called health at every size. I will say that typing it into google yields goth artist type of drawing and then the whole health thing like half way down the page.
I met a bunch of solo-travelers when I visited Europe a few years back. They were having a blast, staying in the hostels pretty much guarantees you’ll have a few friends to do something with while you’re there. I’d definitely recommend it.
