Ah why didn't you reply to that comment? This just looks like you're misquoting the tweet thread.

Why are you assuming I'm American?
As for the rest, I wouldn't bring this up otherwise but since you went there - I started university at seventeen, worked full time in a pub from when I turned 18 and then had to work two jobs in my final year, I've also suffered close relatives dying and a best friend committing suicide. And yet I can still understand that other people could be in circumstances that really push them to describe being "emotionally devastated" without going through all or even some of that. You're showing a (performative?) lack of empathy here.

"If a university bureacracy was killing you then what will happen life throws life/death problems at you?" - see how silly that sounds?

I dind't?
I'm sorry I did not notice.
can the moderators move it in the right place, please?
> Why are you assuming I'm American?
Because it's an easy guess here and it's the system the article talks about.

I honestly don't.
Like I hear people saying they are emotionally devasted when their soccer team loses a match, but that's not what being emotionally devasted is, that's how some people describe it. It's called hyperbole.

Textbook non sequitur.
I feel the same way about bureacracy now.
But, if I could, I'd still chose bureacracy over life/death problems every time and also I would keep failing very hard exams if I could, studying like crazy, instead.
