I'll be honest: I'm not sure what the appropriate way to show compassion is here if it's not the purpose of the comment. Does every person commenting on something adjacent to the situation need to display compassion in this (still unknown) way?
Asking seriously. I want those complete strangers to not be in situations where they could die, and I want no one to die the same way in the future because someone did an engineering and made it safer. But they are people I don't/didn't know. Anything I could think of to say would feel as useless as "thoughts and prayers."
- jedberg 5y agoNot ask the question. Or at least acknowledge that people died before asking the question.
- Kye 5y agoWas anyone under the illusion no one died when the tornado reduced half the building to scrap? I'm still not sure what the purpose is. If someone actually affected or connected to someone affected comes here and shares, that's different. Otherwise, it's not clear who it's for. "Performative" is overused by jerks who think everyone is as cynical and calculating as they are, but this seems to be a rare case where it actually applies. I don't see the purpose in this action you suggest. It seems like you went off on /u/voidfunc for no good reason.
