    I feel like there’s a smidge of ambiguity in the phrase

    You don’t have to care. No one does.

    Which could parse to

    You don’t have to care. No one has to care.

    or

    You don’t have to care. No one cares.

      I actually don’t think it is ambiguous. “You don’t have to care” implies that some might, but it doesn’t matter. “No one does” is clearly reinforcing that point, rather than making a new point which contradicts the first part of the first point.

        Not if you read cardfully, but it is easy to gloss over. I’d give them a pass, especially since changing your opinion when presented with different information isn’t nearly common enough.

      Yeah I already admitted I’m an idiot that can’t read, assuming they didn’t edit this part of their post.
