- bobwaycott 8y agoThe parent didn't say anything pejorative about those who do things differently. They said "fuck this", and lamented feeling punished by social pressure to be a morning person.
- gatherhunterer 8y agoSaying "fuck this" about a submission is pejorative, as opposed to saying "I disagree with this."
- coldtea 8y agoIt also conveys a nuance and adds a spark to the response that "I disagree with this" doesn't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beV0N7lItuQ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=beV0N7lItuQ
- robbrown451 8y agoI don't think they even said they disagreed. They said it wasn't for them.
- bobwaycott 8y agoYou said the pejorative statement was about those who do things differently. Saying "fuck this" makes it clear there's a strong objection to the idea(s) presented in the article, something "i disagree" just wouldn't convey in the slightest. Saying "fuck this morning person" would have been the statement your critique would fit.
- Mizza 8y agoI am saying "fuck this" to the culture that pressures everybody to be productive in the early morning and casts judgement on those who have trouble being productive in those hours. No offense was meant to the author, I'm always interested in people sharing their routine advice.
