What? No - not nitpick. You cherrypicked words to exclude the writer's caveat, changing the meaning, then criticised the changed meaning. Classic out-of-context quoting, especially since the writer addressed your criticism in the very same sentence you quoted.
you do realize its absurd to talk about 'out-of-context' quoting when the full comment is sitting right there for everyone to read?
I was responding to a particular part of the comment, hence why I highlighted that, but obviously the whole comment is right there!
My opinion, and what I was articulating is that saying
this will suck if you're 50 years old and get laid off the assembly line
is a flippant dismissal of a serious issue.
Its like saying 'it will suck if you're a Syrian whose family gets wiped out in the civil war ... but hey we've been having wars in the Middle East for 100 years and its not particularly terrifying.'
