You know culturally it used to be an oddity to be offended. So much so that it was a punchline/trope in many comedies. Consider Caddy Shack. Rodney Dangerfield spends the entire movie offending the sensibilities of snooty country club guests. The audience was on his side. We used to all know as a point of fact that being offended was weak, pathetic and childish. Nowadays many Americans are on the side of the hysterical/offended/triggered person. Shit is whack. Stop being offended so easily. It’s weak and pathetic and childish. It always has been. It always will be.

In our culture, being offended gives you the moral high ground because it makes you a victim. This is especially true if you are offended by traditional morals, which makes you offended in an edgy and trendy fashion.

Everyone is in a race to occupy the victim position. Fundamentally a race to the bottom.

Zapperoonies for the big guy just on account of the nostalgia.

hahaha what is this word salad? how is the bitcoin related?

Offended, that word is completely foreign to me.

Sorry, your seatbelt seems to be broken. What do you recommend I do?

I recommend you stop being such a f*ggot. You're in the backseat.

What!?!?! But I... Well sir I must say! How dare you say these things to me! Appalling!

Be the ball #[1] , be the ball.

Don't let insults go to your heart and compliments go to your head. That's self-mastery instead of whiny victim mentality or egotistic spoiled brat.

Great take
