I am not clear what your point is. Are you saying that it is a normal human instinct to broadcast all your shit to the world? Just because a few people think that cultural consumption should work like that, doesn't mean that everyone does think the same way.
- ncallaway 13y ago> "Are you saying that it is a normal human instinct to broadcast all your shit to the world?" To some extent, yes. Death in the family and informing people about an upcoming marriages are things that I frequently see people post on social media. Really any very important event in someone's life often gets posted on social media. I'm just saying, it's easy to think of people on the internet as abstract things, and not realize that you're saying: "Hey, actual person shut about about that major event in your life, no one cares, get back to work". Let me ask you this: if your friend posted a message about a death in their family on twitter would your response be "Why can't you STFU, get off twitter, and get back to work"?
- eshvk 13y ago> easy to think of people on the internet as abstract things, Right. You mean it then becomes easier to be a major sarcastic dick to someone who voiced an opinion quite contrary to yours?
- ncallaway 13y agoI do. And I'm sorry for my sarcasm. It was inappropriate. Hence the earlier edit to my comment calling it unnecessary and apologizing for it. It was a knee-jerk comment, and it was indeed a pretty dick thing to say.
