    How many people died in car accidents, and from preventable disease, every day of the coverage?

    I only have so many fucks to give and I’m not wasting them on some spoiled thrill seeker.

      That’s an insult to yourself though. Yes, you can run out of fucks when your office worker shits up the bathroom without a courtesy flush and so you just go in there and hold your breath vs saying something.

      But in order to not give a fuck about the people in the submarine, you would scroll past the articles or you add them to your block list.

      … You don’t comment on a thread that you have no fucks to give so why should I care about the humans who died.

      Kindness sometimes is done by doing nothing.

        And yet this issue was blown up all over international media, while thousands die of preventable disease and in conflicts with little to no interest.

        The hypocrisy is worth noting.

          What are you doing to help prevent those deaths? I’ll be the first to admit I’m not doing enough, but I wouldn’t use that in an argument.

          I feel that you already have your mind set, so there is no debate. I appreciate your time given to comment, but this debate is going no where. But to throw one last word in, you really care a lot for someone without any fucks.

            It’s because I believe that “we” - culturally, socially - have limited fucks to allocate. Not just me personally. Calling this out as irrelevant encourages people to save their fucks for what matters.
