I don't get why people don't just leave

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 month ago (1 children)

because other people haven't left yet

ah the old catch 22

~~that is the right use of that term right?~~

A requires B but B requires A so neither gets started.

I think Catch 22 is A requires B but B nullifies A so A is guaranteed to not get started.

but there's no need to be that pedantic, casually speaking. people know what you mean when you say catch 22. we could also just say it's paradoxical.
