NYOOOM rule
  • But look! You're experiences outside the norm have uniquely shaped you. Even though it may seem like you're failing right now, you're yet to have your "turn left to go right" moment! you shall thrive in your very own way!

  • Do life insurance rules that deny payment after suicide discriminate against those with mental health issues? If those rules didn't exist would suicide rate increase?
  • Dammit you people gotta realise that words have meanings besides their direct definitions.

    take in point: one of the direct definitions of "discrimination" straight from merriam-webster: "the act of making or perceiving a difference : the act of discriminating", while another says "prejudiced or prejudicial outlook, action, or treatment", "prejudice" in this context meaning "preconceived judgment or opinion" or "an adverse opinion or leaning formed without just grounds or before sufficient knowledge".

    So before you go spouting nonsense that "to discriminate means to tell a difference between two or more things", learn to differentiate between a words denotation and its connotation so that you can separate the the contexts in which a word is appropriate. Bonus point, people aren't baffled by your lack of ability to distinguish between meaning and implication.

    Ps. (For the dense of you) words in bold are words which could have been used instead of "discriminate"

    Pps. discern
