Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

When I get frustrated with all the terms I always get reminded of imperial system of measurement Vs the metric and then wish physics would do something similar, not for the math in science obviously (though some of that needs attention too), but for the names of atomic, quantum and even cosmological objects/phenomena. I also realize how difficult that would be, given how much there's still to discover and thus there's still a lot of uncertainty - pun intended. Maybe some day it will all get standardized in a more intuitive way. Thanks for responding to my venting.
