So if I'm in plane that's lost pressure with an oxygen mask on, I shouldn't help anyone get their's on because I couldn't help everyone get their masks on in the like 1.5 minutes you get before brain damage?
Like I know this is a slippery slope example, and I do a agree with you that you should aim to save as many lives as possible...
But FFS this is literally the same wording right-wing politicians use to break down laws and decay public infrastructure because if it can't work perfectly its not worth having, and then they let companies in to canabalize what's left.
I think that's the point, the person forgot to put the /s so people who don't get it was sarcasm can see it was sarcasm.
WAS it sarcasm?
Yeah I mean, pretty easy to tell related to the situation.
With the range of political opinions on lemmy, Poe's law is definitely in effect.
