You forgot the trigger warning! There are people in the C++ culture that would be highly offended by such language. And who wants to see a grey beard cry silent tears while investigating yet another core dump?

Note: I am a member of the C++ community and therefore have the credentials necessary to make fun of my culture. If you make fun of the C++ culture without being part of it then you are clearly in violation of new speak and a woke certified person will try to cancel you.

>You forgot the trigger warning! Bro, don't use that phrase. "The phrase can cause stress about what's to follow. Additionally, one can never know what may or may not trigger a particular person." Consider using "content note".
