However you read this (callous about a worldwide pandemic or meaningless, spammy marketing speech), that is effortlessly the one opening sentence after which to disregard any opinion of the author's.
- throwaway2245 6y agoI read it as slightly hyperbolic but relatable. Many, many people have been re-considering their living situation in the face of a pandemic, with a lot of their assumptions being temporarily or permanently broken.
- ThePadawan 6y agoI would have liked to interpret this as very tongue-in-cheek too - but as the author didn't drive that point home any other way, I will have to go with "the intended no humor at all in the first place".
- fastball 6y agoI'm confused – do you think people are talking about getting a home less in 2020? I know that many of my friends were previously paying crazy high rents in various metropolitan areas and I know two that have already purchased houses in much smaller locale's because it made way more economic sense.
- ThePadawan 6y agoI'm saying people shouldn't "go out with friends" to talk about anything full stop.
- fastball 6y agoAh. I know The virus pervades everything right now, but still not sure this is the right thread for COVID moralizing.
- ThePadawan 6y agoI don't want to moralize :) I just read the first sentence and immediately got the impression I described in my top level comment. No more, no less.
