Specifically thinking of stuff that make your life better in the long run but all kinds of answers are welcome!

I’ve recently learnt about lifetraps and it’s made a huge positive impact on how I view myself and my relationships

    They aren’t. If I think you’re a bootlicking chud, I have the right to say so in America. We don’t let the offended party decide what is insulting.

      They are. You can have a negative opinion about someone, but calling them names or do something insulting, like the “fuck you”-gesture, has mainly the purpose of hurting them.

      Why do you think the offended party gets to decide what’s insulting? They get to decide whether they sue, but the judge still decides whether it actually was an insult.

      You still have the right to express your opinion. Insults are just not an opinion. You can say “I think you are ugly and support heavy government measures to protect the rights of other people”. You can’t say “You’re a bootlicking chud”.
