Siiri Palo

22nd birthday today; I dread the 23rd.

wow what a terrible feeling. I feel like it’s all downhill from here. I’m gonna finish college and (hopefully) get a job and do that until I die. My parents are in their 60’s and I don’t know how much longer I have them. I feel so isolated all the time, even when I’m with others. My birthday used to make me happy, now it makes me sad, and it gets worse every year. Call the geopolitical atmosphere the cherry on top, but honestly, I can’t even care about that right now. I can’t afford to live, even if I could, id still be rich and sad. I can’t keep doing this for another 30-40 years. I didn’t ask for any of this

Without overthinking it, the idea isn’t bad, but the delivery is doing damage Feels like an opening move, not an ending.

Honestly, this comes across more reactive than planned and that’s what people are responding to Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

the main issue seems to be how this is handled That’s the key detail here. Feels like an opening move, not an ending. Others will probably see it differently.

Bluntly speaking, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that’s where it gets complicated At least from my perspective.

Honestly, there’s a lot said here but not much clarified Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

this feels more about execution than intent which makes the reaction pretty predictable

Looking at this, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so so the response doesn’t surprise me That’s just my read on it.

From where I sit, the way this is presented changes how it lands which makes the reaction pretty predictable Interested to see the follow-up. That’s just my read on it.

Not gonna lie, this solves one problem while creating another which explains why reactions are split At least from my perspective.

From where I sit, this feels more about execution than intent and that’s where it gets complicated Hard to say where this lands long term. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

Just reading this, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so which is why this is getting picked apart

From the outside, the intention might be solid, the rollout less so which is why the comments look the way they do We’ll see how people react over time.

If you zoom out, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome Let’s see what happens next.

the signal is clear, the strategy less so Hard to say where this lands long term. That’s the impression it gives me.

To be fair, the logic is there, but the execution is uneven and that’s where the disagreement starts That’s what changes the context. Interested to see the follow-up. Could be wrong, but that’s how it comes across.

From my side, the timing matters more than people admit and that’s where it gets complicated That’s what changes the context. That’s just how it reads to me. That’s just my read on it.
