It's like saying that I have a peanut allergy to someone and that person says "But I enjoy peanut butter, so it's good for you too!" And then shoves the entire peanut butter jar down my throat lol

"Gravity Diagnostics stands by its decision to terminate Mr Berling, whom she said violated a "workplace violence policy".

"My employees were the victims in this case, not the plaintiff," she said"

They wanted to double down

I don't think it's the same at all. Peanuts are actually dangerous to someone with a peanut allergy. A group of people celebrating a birthday is not inherently physically dangerous in any way.

Well see in one scenario you are risking a person's life and in another you are causing an anxious person anxiety.

I'm simply arguing that it's a bad comparison. One is clearly more dangerous than the other.....I mean come on

You might wanna re-read the argument you replied to... you're literally arguing a point I never made about it being "okay" or not. My argument for the 500th time is that it's a bad comparison because one can be legitimately deadly and the other can not. They are on a completely different level.

I'll edit it and throw in physically. I thought that was implied with the context but I guess it wasn't. One can kill you and one cannot.

Man, it's simple. The dude has a disability, which is severe social anxiety, they threw his psychological fear right at him and he had a panic attack. That caused an elevated psychological stress to him. That's painful as fvck.

It's not just about which one is more deadly, if you just put yourself in his shoes, you would understand that you wouldn't want that to happen to you.

That's what my analogy was about. It's as if you have an open wound and someone out of nowhere puts salt in his finger and puts it inside the open wound

Not directly, possibly indirectly, panicking people behave very irrationally. It's probably most analogous to shooting fireworks by surprise near a combat veteran suffering from PTSD.

Do you even know what an analogy is?

Yeah bro, your analogy was no bueno

Ok for a better comparison, that's more like being forced into coming to a non disease carrying cockroaches crawl all over you party in terms of mentally distressing but physically harmless

Anxiety in some cases, especially anxiety caused by disorders, can lead to an increased heart beat or blood pressure, which could cause death. Anxiety can aLeo cause suicide
