That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.<— we are here.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.

I always wonder seeing this old chestnut, what's the difference between "not that bad" and "not a big deal"

[–] Hawke@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I take it to mean the distinction between downplaying how much of the bad thing happened (in this case how many people were raped) and how terrible of a problem that is (in this case how old they were)

yeah that sounds reasonable i guess
