But I guess good for him for pointing out that men only get up like 10% of the time for pregnant, the elderly, or people not able bodied on the subway.

Like, yeah I know there are also other and even greater injustices in the world, thx.
almost all "you think X is bad but Y is much worse" takes are trenchant
― Mordy, Thursday, 14 March 2019 15:36 (five years ago) link
my whole feed seems to be these takes right now. I got into a pointless argument with a friend about it. She's a very high earning professional but didn't go to college and she thinks no one should care about this. But she has kids and I know she'd be mad about this if her kids were applying to college right now, regardless of whether it's "the way things work" or there are worse problems in the world.

Yup, in fact the takes are split between "x is worse" and "come on, everyone already knew this and if you didn't you were a sucker" (and combos of the two).

tbf it looks like she'd have a pretty good chance, as a high-earning professional, to buy her kid a way into college

tbf the admissions scandal is kinda _shrug_ to me if only because it really is a drop in the bucket of the overall fuckery of admissions/higher ed (and by extension the job market)
― Simon H., Thursday, 14 March 2019 15:59 (five years ago) link
Think the overall point isn't that you have to care about it but it's cloying to act as if people can't hold two thoughts in their head at the same time.
Then again, this may be true for those posting hot takes like man alive's friend

P much every "bust" of any kind is a drop in the bucket. I enjoy that at least rich people are getting busted for once, and I would think even if you are socialist it's good to see the curtains being peeled back on this sort of thing
