They must really love you, Don't do this. Also you can absolutely be a manager and not an arse, maybe it's uncommon for sure but I like to think I'm managing it if for nothing else I know what managers can be like and I never want to be come That Person.

There was more hoo-ha about the horse meat scandal or Jade Goody than thousands and thousands of people dying and all the lives affected by that. I know thousands of people dying is hard to comprehend, yet people are just itching to eat a £3 meal deal and have a pint at spoons than think how our actions each affect one another and the repetitive gently caress-ups by the government. This year has really changed how I see the country, I'm still not sure how it sits with me.

Add some spelling/grammar mistakes and paste it into the LBC comments section on Facebook. I don't know if it's increased due to the state of things over the last 15 or it's always been the case and is just more obvious these days but it certainly feels like a sizeable majority of this country is petty, mean and vindictive (also functionally illiterate). blunt fucked around with this message at 14:38 on Sep 11, 2020 |

There's also a bunch of people who are completely insulated from basically everything demanding that everyone else endanger themselves so that they don't have to feel like the world isn't exactly the way they want it to be. Am I talking about brexit, the pandemic or austerity? Vote now on your phones.

Guavanaut posted:A big problem is that the people who are really outraged aren't going to be taking to the streets to call it out, because there's a pandemic on. Also, what's the thing with the small thing tragedy, big thing statistic? That thing. Jady Goody was one person, with a face. The people dying of Covid are faceless statistics. And horse meat is gross, or if you're French, mislabeled. Theoretical gross trumps faceless death as well.

Famously on this day 19 years ago a few thousand people died, nobody remembers every single one of their names, but everyone remembers the name of the one Bad Foreign who Whereas the Covid deaths are due to the government not doing anything, rather than doing something, and there's no single Big Bad to blame other than ideologies like neoliberalism.

blunt posted:"The people who died were dumb people who took stupid risks and so deserved it, unlike me a smart person who washes their hands when they go to Wetherspoons". I have come to believe that the people posting poorly spelled things all over aren’t illiterate, they are drunk and *emotional*. The strong emotion prompts them to post racist screeds and the alcohol prompts them to misspell them. My dad got like this toward the end of his life and it was heartbreaking to see.

Sorry, I meant functionally illiterate as in "unable to parse and comprehend information, lacking critical thinking skills", not "unable to read or spell". I can see why that's doubly unclear as immediately before I was joking about spelling. I probably used the wrong term ... Maybe I'm illiterate 👀 Sorry about your dad. My parents are starting to get noticeably "old" and that poo poo is scary. blunt fucked around with this message at 15:21 on Sep 11, 2020 |

It's way more about a million is a statistic, I think, as well as even though it's a MASSIVE death toll, relative tot he population, the numbers are quite low, so there's a decent chance that most people simply don't know anyone who died, let alone anyone who died way younger than they would have, and so it's not real for them. Big numbers are hard to comprehend at the best of times.
