Wealthy man dies in his pool sized Jacuzzi. Entire world expected to be sad.

Kids living in abject poverty are starved and made to drink salty water before being bombed into atoms. World expected to be largely indifferent.

News at 11.

Yes other people are suffering, but can we just let people care about things? My dad read Perry's book and felt real emotional attachment to the man, through both their struggles with addiction and mental health. He was completely devastated when we heard about this. Yes there is worse shit to talk about in this world, but Mathew Perry meant a lot to some people, in his acting career and otherwise.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
