Just need to vent. The world is becoming a colder place because of snowflakes and wet blankets.

Use a dry blanket instead. That way, you won't get hypothermia.

Fine medical advice there 👍

WhatNameToChooseNow · 24/10/2020 22:00

Ah unfortunately I'm toasty and dry, it's other people .... Cold frosty snowflakes and dreary wet blankets make a bleak winter...

Do you mean people or the weather or something else entirely?

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 24/10/2020 22:02

Oops x posted there.
I had a feeling you meant people.
I agree

WhatNameToChooseNow · 24/10/2020 22:03

I didn't mean to type unfortunately that's for certain Hmm... I'm not talking about weather Grin

Presumably the feeling is mutual so just steer clear? I'm the sort you'd call a snowflake I expect and I'm sick to death of the types who are sick of me!

chomalungma · 24/10/2020 22:20

You mean people who get offended because others have a different point of view about something and then take to platforms to express themselves and their discontent?

madcatladyforever · 24/10/2020 22:21

We need a good war to toughen them up.

blueangel19 · 24/10/2020 22:22

AntennaReborn · 24/10/2020 22:23

I'll second that
VodselForDinner · 24/10/2020 22:23

You sound very triggered, OP Hmm

JuanFootInTheGrave · 24/10/2020 22:24

No controversy intended here, just genuine curiosity; why do you think you're considered a snowflake? @BefuddledPerson

popcornlover · 24/10/2020 22:24

Definitely with you there OP.

PurpleDaisies · 24/10/2020 22:25

The world becomes colder when people just see others as snowflakes and wet blankets.

lovehorror199ii · 24/10/2020 22:27

WhatNameToChooseNow · 24/10/2020 22:30

Snowflakes offend me shall I start a petition? Or meme it up on insta? And talk about nothing else until I bore the pants off everyone?

The world will be a warmer place if people are less judgmental and more caring.

Funguy · 24/10/2020 22:31

No idea what you are going on about.
