@Sunnyside226 The best part about the ducks is when they have babies and we have a bunch of ducklings in the pool.
We have 2 cats. One of them will sit by the glass door and stare out at the ducks and the other birds that hang around.... especially when there's some food in the bowl for the ducks.
I've only been here since earlier this year and found the whole trigger thing difficult as well. There are so many trigger words i never even knew about!
As for the warnings, I dont think its a gard rule, more of a courtesy to others. So people general will, and should, use the warnings but sometimes either forget or are upset enough that they are just struggling enough to just get their words out to even think of other things like trigger warnings at the time. I hope that makes it clearer... its good to do, and highly recommended, but understood that it wont always happen. If you try to post anything with a trigger word in it that is in a list, you will get a warning to change it before it will be posted. This is an extra but of protection but not 100% detecting everything. So dont worry too much about it, just include a warning if youre not sure but its okay if you dont, or forget to. If a post needs editing a mod will probably do a small edit for you. But thats is usually more for possible identifying information that someone may post... i know because I've accidentally done that a few times! 😃
There is a bit of stuff here to get used to because of the kind of forum this is compared to other online places. I'm still learning and getting better at the trigger words thing but people will politely give a reminder if something posted is too wrong, but as youve seen, its not the end of the world if you do write something a bit triggering for some people.
