Yes that is exactly what we are going to do, because that is how we are all coping right now in the year of our lord 2022. You are welcome to move the fuck on

Bet you wouldn’t be making jokes if it was your mother. Never been a fan of gallows humor. Just a cop out for being a dick.

If you’re actually struggling, look into SSRIs, they are a type of medicine that can help with coping. They turned my pessimistic/negative attitude into a normal, slightly positive one, among other benefits.

I’m glad they’ve helped you. They also have a ton of side effects, have minimal proof of their efficacy and can cause permanent changes like chronic anhedonia, and that’s coming from someone who takes psych meds. Unless you’re a psychiatrist and the poster is your patient, stay in your lane. Most people don’t like receiving unsolicited medical advice from a stranger.

Calm down my dude. I suggested they look into them, as in read up on and hopefully talk to a professional about them. I didn’t prescribe and tell them to start taking them.

I’m calm. I’m letting you know that what your doing is considered rude. At it’s worst, it’s emotionally damaging and invalidating for people who have chronic health issues or disabilities to hear suggestions like that.

Nah I'm good right here thanks. Any other supremely stupid broad generalizations about humanity you'd like to throw out there? I'm all ears.

It’s “funny” because it happened on Chamberlayne and no one cares about a human being who died on Chamberlayne because of all sorts of biases around where in the city bad things are “supposed” to happen because of racism. When it was a woman on a bike dying after being hit by a car in the county no one was making jokes and everyone was just talking about what a tragedy it was. If a pedestrian had been run over crossing the street in the Fan everyone would be outraged and taking about cars being bad and walkability of streets.

That has nothing to do with it. Getting hit and killed by a street sweeper is an objectively bizarre and funny way to die. It’s like being drown in soft serve ice cream, or eaten by a hippo. Some ways of dying are funnier than others. I would rather get hit by the Oscar Meyer Weiner mobile than die of COPD in a hospital bed, then at least people could get a laugh out of it. Death is coming for us all, you should lighten up about it.

“Omg you can’t say ‘lighten up’ that’s racist.”

Are you saying mf broom had been out all night drinking illegally before they hit someone? This is literally night and day and the piece of shit that hit those two women should have a special place in hell reserved for him.

Your response has nothing to do with a single thing I said. What I said was that many people in Richmond care more about some types of people dying than others, and that this is clearly evident.

Well we don't know for sure who was responsible...so I do have sympathy. And I don't entirely disagree that it is interesting people are more outraged at a cyclist's death (I am an avid cyclist) than other deaths we see in the city...but implying that only "certain people" live on Chamberlayne and therefore we don't care about this particular death (so next stop Dog Whistle city here we come) is a stretch. It's obvious this incident is bizarre and uncommon.
