Isn't it pretty normal to get parole halfway through the sentence for state crimes?

My life has been pretty trauma free, but even I sometimes benefit from trigger warnings. Sometimes you're just not in the mood for certain themes.

I was once on a long flight to attend the funeral of a close friend, and was watching a movie on the flight. I didn't know there'd be a funeral scene, and that hit way harder in the state of mind I was in at the time. I don't regret watching the movie, but it did give me a glimpse of how triggers work, in a form probably much milder than how people with real trauma would experience it.

In general I often find that accommodations for people with special needs often also benefit the general population. Accessible web design is often more pleasant to use in my experience, and probably easier for search engines also.
