    This comment would mean anything if they had said “no one cares,” but what they said was “no one has to care”

      I’m an idiot who can’t read. Potentially… I see they edited their post.

        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.
