Actually that's sexual assault. You can still ask if she's okay without threatening her with sexual assault.

If a hug is sexual assault, then all kids are sexual predators π
You laugh, but look up no touching policies in schools. Some of them prohibit students from hugging each other. We're going to end up with a bunch of traumatized adults who received no human contact as children.
On that, I'm one of those oh so delightful high functioning spectrum types who can't fucking stand anybody touching me. In spite of this, I also recognize the base human need for touch for people who aren't me. These policies are going to hurt people.
I'm not a sociologist, and probably there is someone who knows what they're talking about who has done actual research and maybe written an actual paper I just haven't seen. But I have this theory that humans need some level of discomfort.
In part, I think the brain gets stronger when challenged. It needs practical challenges, not just artificial challenges. And in part, I think that suffering is relative. Those people who freak out about getting the wrong color iPhone? It's literally the worst thing that's ever happened to them, and they have no coping skills.
All that to say... We're definitely fucking ourselves up by trying to make things TOO safe and comfortable.

What's a home fries? Isn't fries just short for french fries? I don't speak american
I think home fries is when you cut the potato in cubes and wedges (the recipe says 1 inch chunks) and then fry them.
Almost. Home fries, in my area, are flatter. So 1*1 square but 1/2 to 1/4 tall.

"Home fries" is large, maybe skin on, probably with some round edges from the sides of the potato. As if they were homemade (although they probably aren't). "French fries" in American means perfectly square, thin, shoestring style.
So, potato wedges?
That's called country fries here.
Well when you live in the country, they're home fries.

WAAAAY better than the fantasies I see posted of revenge for someoneβs behavior. Itβs possible to be the bigger person and still not tolerate bad behavior.
