BOULDER, CO—Saying he would try his best to learn them all by heart, University of Colorado professor Derek Pollard took a moment Tuesday to remind his students it will take him a few classes to memorize everyone’s triggers. “I always have a hard time at the beginning of the semester remembering what everyone can comfortably talk about, so if you could all write your triggers down on the sheet I’m passing around, I can start putting faces to sensitivities,” said Pollard, who asked each student to help him out by staying in the same seat each week and reminding him what topics are off-limits to them the first few times they are called on. “I apologize in advance if I mix you up and accidentally confuse your triggers with someone else’s; you’re just going to have to bear with me on this. I have 250 students in three classes this term, so it’s going to be a bit of a challenge recalling what I can’t say around each of you.” Pollard added that he also had office hours for any student who would like to individually threaten him with calls for administrative disciplinary action should he happen to discuss a topic that caused them personal distress.

What do you think of this, BLF?

OP, I'm not sure if you know this, but the onion is a satirical news website. This did not happen, it is a joke.

I tried so hard to make it credible

You know i'm smarter than that, right guys? This wasn't meant to be taken seriously by any means, just playing off of Lord Tony's biased misuse of "news" and lack of reliable sources.

you gotta master the art of satire first

this isn't a game, when you fool around with the powers of satire, people get hurt!

I don't know if I buy it. It's pretty hard to straight-face sarcasm and then joke about it later, primarily when the factor you're relying on for proving you were joking is your intelligence.

You know i'm smarter than that, right guys?
no

not even kidding, no

You know i'm smarter than that, right guys?
Not really, no. I looked at your post history to try and figure out whether you knew it was satirical but came to the conclusion that you're just a dunce.

I was only pretending to be handicapped

Jesus loving christ.
