I've been wanting to do this thread with that title for so long now.For the avoidance of any unfortunate misunderstandings which will just give the mods a lot of unneccesary work this thread is for CAT PICTURES.
Here's the bestest cat in the world, to start us off.
His name is BlackJack, his mortal remains lie at the bottom of our garden, but he lives on in my memory, and at the place where he last lived, there is a Blue Plaque commemorating his life set discreetly above the front door and under the fire escape. He taught us an awful lot about cats, and psychic phenomena, and genuine, un-alloyed love and trust.
So here's a thing I've noticed.
I don't like leaving NAS open on my devices at the best of times......but when the NAS tab is open, and I minimise it from this particular thread...then my NAS tab appears to be a porn site. The 'mighty cold one' has crafted his words with skill - clearly this thread is wholeheartedly and unquestionably about cats and the title is witty and apt.
I don't think there is a word for the effect or "sense" that I feel when I see that phrase hovering in front of me - on effectively, a list of tasks = my open tabs= top of my screen. Its not shame, embarrassment, awkwardness (no one would ever see my screen nor think any differently if they did) ...... but there must be a word for it ? The phrase seems to almost overwhelm my head - it makes all kinds of diverse regions of my head all fire at the same time.....its like a water canon, dispersing thirsty protesters....or something?
The phrase that seems to fit what you describe, I think might be "social vulnerabilty".
I am more than happy to change or alter the title, to remove that unfortunate appearance to your tabs if you can advise me what change would be best.
It's only good fun, if it's harmless fun.
Na - defo not social vulnerability.
Thank you for your very kind offer to amend the title to protect my sensibilities.....however....I can reassure you that, on this occasion, I feel no discomfort nor the need for special nor reasonable allowances to be made, for me, the most delicate of flowers in this meadow ?! .....and anyway, I love the subject matter.
