  • You’re using “care” to describe having compassion and I’m using it to describe being actively upset.

    Let me put it this way: your coworker’s grandpa died last month, you care because you have empathy but do you spend the rest of the day thinking about it?

    Now let’s say you live 30 minutes from work with no public transportation options and your car breaks down. Does it keeping you up at night?

    It’s not shitty to focus on your immediate needs when it’s getting more dire






  • I’m so tired of this take.

    It’s been bad news after bad news every day for years and a lot of it is happening locally. Most people don’t have the mental capacity to think about every problem that doesn’t affect them.

    And as for gas prices in particular, people are barely scraping by and any drastic fluctuation in the cost of essentials threatened stability. Gas is up like 35% and it’s going to continue to rise.

    I think everyone should care but let’s be real - stressing about dead people doesn’t do anything. It doesn’t stop them from dying, it doesn’t bring the prices down, and it doesn’t make you feel any better.
