A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Posts must be original/unique
- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

This doesn't help. Just like some medications can't be taken by certain types of people, it's not outside the realm of possibilities that someone's experience is different than the norm or different than your own. We should be helping, educating, and loving the experience, not denigrating those who have experiences outside of our own or expectations.
I implore you take time to consider the person's experience, and how yours may not be the only one, before insulting them for theirs. Nothing but love and kindness your way. Be well!
This person was flipping out on people over nothing. I think I was within my rights.
