If that's a rail bridge that's that railway connection shut down for several hours to check for the alignment of the rails.

If you liked that image, you should really see 11foot8.com, a website devoted to a single "can opener" bridge.  You see, they guy has cameras on it all the time, just waiting for the next person to hit it.  Eventually they raised the bridge to 12'4" which, well, seems to do a little less damage but not so much less that you don't have to replace the back of the vehicle.

TO: Whoever the hell wrote that

Kindly stop feeding my anxiety disorder.  It's difficult enough just handling normal, everyday shit without that kind of negativity polluting the atmosphere.

(I know it wasn't targeted at me or anything like that.  But even so, this is what they redefined the word "Trigger" for.  Though honestly, I think "Landmine" might be a bit better.)

Meh, it's highly dubious anyway. Taken out of order, do you create poetry? You're a poet. Other forms of art? You're an artist. Examine the works of yourself and/or others to learn and help correct the flaws? You're a critic. Make a good faith effort to base your decisions on evidence and reason rather than emotion and reflex? You're an intellectual. As being deep... what the hell does that even mean? By whose criteria? It's too subjective for any definite judgement. And yes, all of those can be helped along by internet access, as the easy exchange of information and ideas is a rising tide that lifts all boats.

And if, despite all that, validation from some rando on the internet is enough to make you smile, well, I think you're a pretty cool dude, and like your writing. Go forth with a song in your heart, BA!

Let's see...

"You're not deep" - I never claimed to be.
"You're not an intellectual" - I'm a writer, so Merriam-Webster disagrees
"You're not an artist" - I'm a writer; since when was writing not art?
"You're not a critic" - I'm a pre-reader who is expected to criticize what I read
"You're not a poet" - somebody who's actually read my writing disagrees
"You just have internet access" - there's nothing "just" about internet access.

So, obviously, this does not apply to me.
