[0] I don't actually mean "thanks". That's childish and passive-aggressive of me, and I shouldn't do it. What I really mean is to suggest that I think you've added nothing to this and that you're addressing a point that nobody made, for reasons only you know. I would guess that it's some kind of hyperbole, and that what you kind of mean is "oh, for something as important as this, someone will do a proper job" which is at least a meaningful statement (if perhaps something of a triumph of hope over experience), but if I have to pick apart your snark to get the actual meaning, I'm doing your job for you. Can you not just write clearly, and state what you mean?
Both of the massive fuckups I listed were highly unlikely, but they still happened.
- string 6y agoYeesh, it was a light hearted joke about KFC because of the mildly amusing tangential link you made between the logistical problems of a fast-food retailer and a nationwide once-in-a-lifetime government backed vaccine rollout. No, I didn't actually interpret your comment as a claim that KFC will be in charge of the rollout. There's no need to be aggressive.
