Lol, you say not everyone shakes for days, the Wikipedia article doesn’t say that either, it says may shake for days. The irony of indirectly accusing others of not thinking critically and not even reading properly in the first place.

Pearl-clutching your way into validating pain-avoidance as a priority worth pursuing over other practical aspects of life might be the way for you, but it’s not watertight enough to impose on others.

The mental gymnastics here are astounding. There’s a difference between not doing pain avoidance and a fucking torture ritual. Or is that another sarcastic strawman again? (I guess I shouldn’t takes your texts seriously?)

I’m not imposing anything. If someone who is fully capable (read: adult) of making the decision and decides to subject themselves to a torture ritual like that - their decision. I have a problem with kids at an impressionable age being pressured into it. And before you come up with “they’re different” or something: they’re still… What do you call them again? Oh, right, humans! And humans’ brains are only fully developed at age 25. Age 12 isn’t even at the fucking halfway point.
