Police are like a box of chocolates
They’ll kill your dog.
I don't know what I expected. Nothing can just be fun anymore.
I come into a comments section to read and maybe find something interesting and we have police brutality jokes, political bullshit, mean comments.
It confuses me that people are thinking about this stuff all the time and trying to jam their misery into everything.
Downvote me, up vote me, I don't care but I am just so tired of being forced to think about all the bullshit in the world every day all at once. It's inescapable.
Police are killing people. No one gives a fuck if you're sick of hearing about it you arrogant little shit.
Dude, there are thousands of people on this application every day. Someone is going to be thinking of something relevant to what's going on in the world at all times. Not everyone is thinking that all the time, but odds are someone is. Just like it's almost certain you won't win the lottery, but it's almost certain someone will. Lots of events happening all the time means even unlikely things are likely to happen.
Also, this was pretty funny. Comedy almost always has a political element to it. If you Rent saying anything meaningful or impactful, why say it at all, right?
You're sick of hearing about it, imagine the people who gotta get in your face and remind you of it because you can't empathize with the fact that they're the ones living it.
Ooooh noeee, poor wittle guy. He's annoying that people correctly point out THE INSANE LEVEL OF MISERY MOST PEOPLE LIVE UNDER. How could you survive knowing that lots of people got actually murdered and thus can't survive.
