Heath posted:did you read it yes and i could neither relate nor sympathize. she's losing her mind over not being able to complain about minor shared discomforts. its not "fun" for anyone (her complaints about brands and marketing trying to make it fun are irrelevant, they are as empty of meaning as ever), but it's something we all have to deal with, and clearly many people don't want to hear complaints about poo poo that they can't fix.

there is a point to be made about covid-themed commercial advertising that could be expanded on---everyone hates them lol, which should make it obvious how people who run ad campaigns are almost uniformly morons with no clue what they're doing. the whole industry is a grift

The one good thing we can take from this pandemic is that it's normalized wearing masks right as cops were about to go wild with facial recognition software.

I work in a hospital and I have to wear a mask all the goddamn time and it's frustrating as poo poo that the only place I can get away from it is to go out and hike somewhere. I did that the other day on my day off so I could get out and actually breathe some air and be away from it all and this bitchy couple nearby yelled at everyone on the trail (me included) for not wearing masks even though we were up on a windy mountain in the goddamn woods and we were all keeping distance from each other and the "masks" they were wearing were just handkerchiefs with open bottoms And I found myself in a very conflicted place because they were probably vulnerable and afraid and they have every right to feel the way they do but also my visceral twitching at being scolded for going to the one place where social distancing is explicitly the goal and using my one day off to breathe and feel human and serene was repeatedly disturbed by being scolded about not wearing a mask and I wanted to tell them to gently caress off but I didn't because these people have their own motivations and fears that we're all experiencing but goddamn did I ever want to just yell at these literally faceless people whose humanity I couldn't see but whose anger and fear I could feel So shut the gently caress up please, I will continue wearing my mask everywhere else but if I don't vent about it I will go insane

You can honestly tell Amber is an excellent writer because she immediately drew out exactly the kind of people to make the exact scolding point she was talking about. Art is about invoking emotions after all.

Slanderer posted:what you may have considered to be unacceptable scolding might have been to them expressing social responsibility, shouted out to be heard without getting close. It's not a rhetorical pothole, it's talking about the emotional response to something. I perfectly understand the rhetorical aspect of it, I am literally in the #3 highest infected county in my state. The topic is an emotional one, and what I'm trying to tell you is that the emotional weight is loving heavy. Not seeing human faces and being away from people is absolutely withering, even if I have a perfect rational understanding of the reasons why, and I think I do because my department is across the hall from the loving morgue that was originally designed to hold 2 bodies at a time and now holds 9 and during the worst of it I was seeing our house sup and security roll 2-3 bodies in there on some nights in hazmat gear. It's no wonder you can't sympathize if you could read what I wrote about my emotional state, being irritated and conflicted and trying to keep myself in check using that very rhetoric and logical reasoning (and for what it's worth, I did) only to have you tell me I'm apparently "the same" as some theoretical Texan Karen hairdresser. Just because you're a robot doesn't mean that I am.

Yeah guys it's a lot better to to write in a way that repeats the same point over and over. You see how I'm saying the same thing multiple times? That means the writing is better. Repeating the same points does not grate at all on the reader, it's good actually. In fact, this post has been improved significantly because it's long. Yes, this post is indeed much better than it could have been, because I used many more words to convey the exact same amount of thought. Anyone who thinks this is bad writing is a baby, a dumb stupid baby, an incredible moron who probably can't read.

Perhaps there is some form of content to a novel that makes it worth the length to read. No, clearly it's just that using more words is inherently superior. I am smart.

I should have clarified that the second paragraph was not addressed at you specifically, more at the people complaining about scolds and karens. but lol @ calling me a robot, which might be fair. but it's more that the very concept of publicly "venting" is completely alien to me and the culture i was raised in. if im complaining publicly, it's because i want to fix or change something. namaste
