There are sources for those posts?

Who knew?

It is The Villages, the largest retirement community in the world, and at one time and possibly still the place with the highest per-capita rate of sexually transmitted diseases in the country, with a hideously high ratio of Trump supporters/liberal communists, so no additional explanation seems necessary:

Yet more people to whom you can feel superior for no valid reason. Yay?

Busted.

Can't deny that feeling proud of not being on the lam as a pos coward who punched an 87 y/o man in the face resulting in his death and then left the scene, is a pretty low bar.

But when you're me, you have to reach for affirmation from wherever and whenever you can.

WhoTF punches an 87 y/o man in the face?

You here on behalf of a pos who punched an 87 y/o man for no reason, who then, being the coward that he is, left the scene, is making my Friday night.

Did someone say "low bar"?

Not advocating for him at all. What he did is reprehensible. But, for me, the fact that his life is effectively over as is that of his victim, is occasion for sadness, not joy.

Nope, just a celebration of a reprehensible act finally being punished.

I can guarantee that if the person was black and had punched and killed an 87 year old white man during a BLM riot that you wouldn't be here making the same stupid comments.

And you would be wrong. A life is a life, and when it is lost in the blink of an eye due to an impulsive act of stupidity, it is sad, both for the man who is dead and the man who will die in prison.

Your lack of humanity is showing - and not for the first time.

I feel bad for the guy who got punched and died. He'll never get a chance to get a hole in one ever again. The other guy? If he felt was wracked with guilt over the situation, he would have turned himself in.

He didn't.

If doesn't feel bad for killing someone then I don't feel bad that he is facing the consequences for his bad decision. I only feel humanity towards those who behave like humans.

psych lecturing anyone on their lack of humanity is high-larious

yea.

fuckin memes, right?!

I know, I know, I should just quit the socials, and stop fretting over all the lulz in the world.

it reminds me of a recent exchange with my mom. I admitted to her that the frightening perspective thread makes me depressed, like seriously gets me down. ("ecological guilt" is one term I've heard.)

We're in the midst of a mass extinction, like who knows whether this planet will even be inhabitable much longer, yet we're supposed to just keep going on with our lives like it's business as usual. But how! When the world is literally burning, how are we supposed to stop worrying about it?

to that, my mom replied, "umm have you tried just, like, not worrying about it?"

oh.

OH.

fuckin great idea mom, why didn't I think of that!

and that's just about climate change. That might be an even more cut-and-dry issue, that can and should be even easier for all of humanity to get on the same page about.

But yea, I should prob at least pump the brakes on caring about global politics, which is comparatively even more totally fucked.

My bet is that he feels horrible but Aldo terrified of what awaits him. The fight or flight response is powerful and tends to overwhelm our rational nature. I guarantee he is not sleeping or eating or enjoying life at all, and he probably never will again. Deserved or not, that’s sad.
