Y'all ain't wrong, but I'm more curious about Germany. Is it much of a thing there? I tried googling and only found this incident.

I still swear online, but I try not to do it aloud anymore because I accidentally dropped an f-bomb in front of a customer. I'm not bothered by them, and I don't get why other people are, so I don't think about it and get careless.

Oh shit, I picked up "per se" from Animal Crossing as a kid and never questioned it.

In my defense, Rover is a fucking weirdo, you'd never use a phrase you learned from him to try to sound smart.

Interesting. I did CBT for a couple of years and it was mostly about reframing extreme thoughts— eg you catch yourself thinking "I'm unlovable" and remind yourself it's more like "my last two relationships ended poorly".

It wasn't exactly what I needed but I didn't see much potential for harm. Is there more to CBT than what I did, or are there situations where that type of thinking can make things worse?

Maybe that CBT is also harmful to neurodivergent people.

Where's that tweet where an anti-vaxxer used the bubonic plague as an example of a disease that went away on its own.

I have a bad habit of ending sentences with "so", mainly because I get that far before realizing the thong I'm about to explain is redundant.

Maybe I'm your evil twin?

Yooooo I forgot about geocaching!! WikiShootMe also sounds like a cool way to explore.

Thanks for the suggestions! I gotta make a list when I get home. I haven't heard of a few of these so that should be exciting.

The first two or three on that list might take several fits and starts to get through, YMMV, but they are WELL worth the effort, and you will come out the other side changed by the experience.

I'm anticipating this, not too worried. I have trouble comprehending thick prose, but part of why I'm asking for recs is because I won't improve if I don't try.

I loved having LOTR read to me as a kid so maybe it's time to revisit it.

Sounds great, I love color theory
