We are talking about university educated COMPUTER GAME developers getting fired.
First world "problems" on a whole new level.
How many people are fired everyday around the world?
Im not saying they should express sympathy with each and every individual that gets fired,
only that in this instance, it stinks to heaven of insincerity.
The extent of these peoples sympathy lasts about 5s here. And does nothing for the fired.
I find that pretty empty and pointless.
If they have been fired, there is surely a reason for that.
If its because of poor performance, well, nuff said.
If its because of company cutbacks, well, tuff shit.
In either case. This is how the world works.
5s of sympathy on an internet bullshit page is an empty gesture.
...isn't the point of first world "problems" meme is that they're barely a problem? Being out of work is definitely an actual problem, otherwise no one would talk about unemployment rates.
But yeah, the limits for human beings to actually genuinely emphasize with another is a common sociobiological topic where it sounds like to me the question is what more is the number specifically rather than if it exists.
But I'd not expect it to change, it's a facet of making civilization comfortable to us, like laws against murder and theft, and greetings or farewells. And I regularly go on Internet sites to talk about video games that go in and out of vogue all the time so I can't count myself not as a person doing things that only really make me feel better.
