To be fair,bif Facebook had a "shrug" emoji, this would have never happened.
Read again. Slowly.
Shrugging is not an "apathy", it is "I don't give a fuck about this guy" reaction. Now take your time.
I’d argue that shrugging is definitely apathy based on the definition of the word. Laughing in a mocking matter is lack, or rejection, of empathy.
In either case, whatever.
It's a fucking stupid thing to argue about but it seems idiotic to me to suggest "if people could've shrugged instead they would have". Firstly how the fuck would anyone know this and secondly who gives a shit?
No one knows it. Someone made a comment and now people are arguing over whether or not someone would push a button over another.
If presented both emojis, I would’ve chosen shrugged over laugh because I honestly don’t care.
I was just setting the record straight about definitions because Felix said shrugging is not apathy when it actually is via a definition of “a state of indifference or lack of interest, emotion, or concern about something.”
Right well we certainly agree on the definition. I was just pointing out how dumb it is that it spawned a thread. But I'm obviously at least half responsible for that aspect
Haha! True, true. It’s the internet though. If someone posts something, it will most assuredly be argued by someone else. Is there a rule for this? I feel like there should be a rule for this.
Yeah. There definitely should be such a rule/law, if there isn't. Reminds me of the recent post that said "wikipedia rebuilt the library of Alexandria powered solely by nerds' need to correct each other"
Take your time 🙄
Aren't you just arguing with a random stranger?
