Yes it’s phrased ambiguously, but you’re seemingly interpreting it as wrong as you can so you can feel superior

minus-squareagent_flounder@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·edit-27 months agoYeah I think they just meant the turn of phrase to be: “worse still” or “and on top of that”. PS: I’m still not making sense probably. I think they meant it like Disorder is bad but the combination of disorder PLUS people chirping is even worse. E.g., it’s bad enough I smashed my foot dropping a brick on it but on top of that I stubbed my toe, too. Smashing my food is bad but even worse is [also] subbing my toe [on top of the already smashed foot]
“it’s even worse”
