You can provide dictionary definitions all day long, but masking one’s sorrow over the loss of a loved one seems pretty shallow and self-serving to me. The person is dead either way. Deal with the actual emotions; don’t hold a party to fake happiness.

This is not a wise position to take. You were imbued life, which you did not earn, from your parents, but also from your Creator, God, who imparts to every human a soul, again, which you did not earn. Your life, given to you by another, is infinitely more important than the virtue of freedom. Freedom of life, freedom to live life, and freedom to make your own choices: all are good, virtuous things. But they are not you, and must be actively sought and fought for in this sinful world. Your life was given to you because of love. Therefore, freedom, while good and virtuous, is not more important than your life. If you choose to sacrifice your life in pursuit of freedom for others, yes, that is an act of love for others, but it does not make freedom more important than your life or your love for others.

Well, that explains why the increase in Goons on social media.

Good, but why can’t you just call it what it is: a funeral?

ok, but it’s a La Quinta Inn, soooo… no surprise?

Nuclear fuools don’t fit in the gas tank, queen ursula.

Again, WTF are we doing?! Sweet and revolting at the same time.

So this may be real, sure. Or it could be fake. But why do these vids perpetuate where the videographer is not doing anything to help?

Well, it would be nice if you’re right, but They say a lot of things, and my modus operandi today is “when the government speaks, I probably ought to do the opposite” because They are lying.

pay for what you’re willing to use. I pay for Gigabit cable internet, but not 42 subscriptions to different Internet services. Different open source projects work for me, including, increasingly, Linux.

This is sweet and repulsive at the same time. Truly, WTF are we doing?!?

Isn’t this exactly what we all ought to want? I could care less that a bunch of peruvians are chatting with a bunch of Chinese via Damus while I’m over here being a dork on Primal. Same with Bitchat Mesh. Get weird, man!

you know it’s fake because the scammer repeats the narrative as though that makes it more real. wouldn’t be surprised if AI wrote it for some dumbass in Ukraine, too.
