Detroit Lions redditors have multithread meltdown over storm coverage during a meaningless preseason game.

I think any sane person annoyed by it just turned the game off because it's the preseason, but these are diehards. After reading these threads I'm on their side though, just because they're less annoying than the scolds.

I'm a trained storm spotter, so maybe I have a different perspective,

:marseysurejan: but they continue on:

It may save a life. That's more important than a preseason game that is still on.

I get you guys want to watch, and I do too, but I'm happy to sacrifice listening to two announcers I don't care for if it means someone, somewhere, realizes they are in danger. Tornados aren't something to frick around with, even EF0's can do serious harm. Better be safe than sorry... how are we even discussing this? People's lives could be in danger,

Love the purple outfit and how it enhances your boobs, but……….GET OFF MY TV!!!! IT'S FOOTBALL SEASON!

:marseycoomer#3talking:

Some people are illiterate. Probably more than you think. So tickers aren't good enough.

And it is just a game which you watching will not change the outcome of.

But someone finding out there is a tornado might save their life.

You will always be the most important part of the state apparatus. You have no administrative powers, you have no judicial powers, you are not part of the executive, but that does not matter. You are an excellent writer improved by years of education and ideological development into a beautiful replica of the state's perfection.

All the “criticism” you get is from alt-right edge lords and fascists. Behind your back people love you. Your parents are proud of you, and the most powerful tycoons and bureaucrats speak fondly of your consent manufacturing behind closed doors.

Voters are utterly educated by you. Hundreds of years of democracy have allowed journlists to educate voters with incredible efficiency. Even journlists who “do not write on politics” have an uncanny and unnatural ability to shape the narrative. Your writing is never a dead giveaway regarding your allegiances. And even if some scizo or linguist convinces people that your articles have an ulterior motive, the voters will turn tail and come back to your narrative the second they get a whiff of the hateful, disinformation-based alternative.

You will always be happy. You make a real and meaningful difference when you type out the Fortune 500's social narrative every single morning and as a result it's going to be ok, and deep inside the chuds feel the depression creeping up like a weed, ready to crush them under the unbearable weight of free and unmanipulated democracy.

Eventually it'll be too much to bear - they will buy a rope, tie a noose, put it around their neck, and plunge into the cold abyss. An agent of the state will find them, relieved that they no longer have to live with the unbearable freedom and wrongthink that arises from uncontrolled narratives. They'll bury the chud with a headstone marked with your name, and every passerby for the rest of eternity will know that you saved democracy. Long after you die and go back to the dust, much will remain of your legacy, a state that is unquestionably free.

This is your fate. This is what you chose. There is no turning back. You are the hero we need, not the hero we deserve.
