In reply to the discussion: Testy Trump Lashes Out at Female Reporter Asking About Epstein: 'Quiet Piggy!' [View all]Maru Kitteh
(31,028 posts)40. Why is "no restaurants" on there twice? And what's a poccket?
No work? People cant do that. Out here IRL, people cant just not work. Just the ask is a little whiffy with privilege.
No events? If I go to a pot luck at the neighbors house with two other families, is that an event? Should I instead angrily decline, stand upon the ottoman and explain that my absence is a blow against the oligarchy?
What does No projects even mean?
Im not against the sentiment, obviously, but this message is asking people to do what they cannot do, it asks for too much, for too long, and the requests are too broad and undefined. It becomes an unattainable, diffuse and disorganized mess. It cant succeed because its not designed to succeed. Its a setup for frustration.
