Wow.
I'm REALLY glad I didn't make a joke about the red button.
I've got a 9 year old special needs grandson (don't tell the others, but he's something of a favorite). He had an aneurism when he was 2 days old - he wasn't supposed to live, or ever be more than a vegetable. He did indeed live - and thrive. He's definitely "differently abled" to use the vernacular of our more sensitive (and less honest) times - which is a somewhat insulting way of saying that his brain has rewired itself around the damaged parts, forming new circuits in places that most of us never use. The little dude is amazing.
He can add and subtract roman numerals. He's a time savant - he LOVES clocks, and can tell you the time of day on September 21, 2019 when he saw Mia at the Pumpkin Festival and she smiled at him. He can tell you what day of the week June 2, 2020 was, or February 15, 2018.
He also doesn't like new things - REALLY doesn't like them. He doesn't like it when we're doing something new as a family and having a good time. If it's not familiar, and he's not in the center of it - he feels left out (even though he's not). He calls it, "no fun family time" and goes off to pout in the corner by himself. Eventually he decides the new thing is OK, and joins right in, but "no fun family time" has become something of a shorthand for inflexible folks who don't want to enjoy life in our family.
I feel like that's what we might be gliding towards here, and nobody wants that.
I hope we never let this place get to be like FB, where somebody posts a picture of their pride and joy and every idiot on the interweb tears it apart - but we have always shared a good time with each other, and often give each other a bit of a rough time because we're friends. I don't want this place to become mean and hard... but I sure hope we don't become another place where everyone takes offense at everything. In this day and age, the internet is all microagression-sensitive weenies or keyboard warriors - there's not a lot of thick skinned, good humored, friendly neighbors behind the screens in very many places. This has been one of them.
I've had the pleasure of meeting lots and lots of "imaginary interweb friends" from the SOC over the years. Panhandle Bob is probably the nicest guy any of you will ever meet. I've got no idea if you are a good guy, "Idaho", but I'm gonna' trust that you are. Getting to know one another a bit before assuming aggression was intended is a good thing. "Calling some of us out" is not something many of us aspire to. I'm not sure what's gained in doing it.
To the original question: I'd never seen the red button before, but it seems like a thing begging to be joked about (it's a red button, see? How much more perfect could it be?).
What do you say we just take a breather on this one?
