Popular Post kurtsimonw Posted March 27, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted March 27, 2020 The general attitude of some people and their problems. Yes, my problems are the biggest problems to me because they are my problems. So I appreciate that others will feel the same. But when someone posts on Facebook "More bad news. I'm getting seriously **** off with this virus, it's really bringing me down", why would someone ever feel the need to say "You should try being in my shoes". Why be the kind of dick who thinks it's okay to diminish someone else's issues, just because you perceive to have it worse? If you want to vent, make your own post about it, don't hijack someone else's post and make it abut you, when they may just be looking for a kind word to pick them up. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it’s people being deprived of clapping in a certain minute at football matches. This is basically why I didnt bother getting involved in the applause the other night. It won't be long before we are applauding to show solidarity for all the ducks that aren't being fed bread because the old people are stuck indoors or other such nonsense. That and I'm a miserable cynic in general. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KenjiOgiwara Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 Must say 100 articles in newspapers from nurses crying about the corona virus is pissing me off. I respect the job they do, always have. Always felt they were underpaid most places. But the idea of writing an attention piece about crying cause you're overworked that's just ridiculous. When I'm working with compounds that are some of the deadliest man has invented, then got to clock 84 hour weeks cause the project requires it. Does it make me sad? Sometimes. Tired definitely. Do I write whiny crap to the newspapers about feeling overworked. No, it's my job. This is what I educated myself for. Cry in your pillow, call a friend. Stop using the media as your damn blog. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the case. These articles aren't about missing equipment, it's about feeling overworked. Thanks for the strawman though.

If you can't handle it, don't read it. No. That's not how it works. You post online a ridiculous and reactionary opinion prepare to be taken to task for it. This is an utterly stupid opinion. What are you doing to stop the spread of this? Washing your hands? Maybe not going to the shops as much? Putting your life in jeopardy every single day? 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's fine, but that's funny talk from someone who's initial response was quite different - telling people to shut up, then makkng stuff up in regards to these stories. Anyway, I have no issues with you disagreeing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
