So?
I mean you are right, but you are right in a very odd way. Imagine this headline:
Local boy gets beat to death.
Then some random guy comes to comment: "Well that happens all the time, it's not news."
I mean sure, it's true, but it's callous, it's minimizing and trivializing what happened, it's acting like it's always inevitable and it's not bringing anything new to the table. It's not just helping, it's actually detracting from any meaningful conversation. In short, I get the feeling that such responses come from smug people who aren't very kind. Not saying you are, just saying how you come off to me.
- flyGuyOnTheSly 7y agoI am not sure what you were responding to, but my "Nothing new here" comment was directly referring to the OP's statement that read: >Nice, I see we're entering the new era of us surveillance. (Emphasis mine) So I just said it's not new. That's all. I apologize profusely for coming off as smugly unkind!
