    Comparing a movie that takes an hour+ to watch to an article that it would take you 5 minutes to read tops to get enough context to not make dumb comments. Yeah, totally comparable.

    People like you are why I have to send multiple work emails after I’ve already mentioned all the relevant details in the first message, all because I didn’t put the whole gods damned message in the subject line.

    Take a hooked on phonics course if reading is that hard for you.

      FFS I’m not talking about the article for a reason. How (or why) you refuse to understand that is beyond me.

      Yeah yeah hooked on phonics, ace repartee. Anyway.

        If you’re not going to read the article or have any interest in it, why bother interacting on the subject at all? The fuck are you even talking about then?

          I think you are ignoring point they are making. If the headline and article tell two different stories, those who just read the headline can come away with a different impression of what’s happening. You can argue people that just read the headline shouldn’t exist, but they do.

            No, I get that that’s their point. I’m definitely making the argument that if all you’re going to read is the headline, then maybe don’t complain about missing out on the full context.
