I understand the idea of shielding people from content that would be upsetting, but my own experience is, that I feel a little anxious as soon as I read Trigger Warning [...].

How is your experience with it? Are you happy with it, or do you thing there are better ways to address dark topics?

Yeah I've occasionally been tempted to check out the dark web for things like drugs from stuff like silk road, like mushrooms and DMT type stuff, nothing crazy. But thats opening a door to a world much more dangerous than mushrooms and shit. And I know myself, I'm naturally curious, and I know for certain I'd find things I'd wish I hadn't. Beyond that, I'm not computer savvy enough to to get there without being looked into by the gov more than I'd like, or obliterating my computer, or losing bank accounts or something. It's just a door I'll keep closed.

Yeah she was... An interesting character.
