The man who sent Kurt Eichenwald a flashing image with the stated intent to trigger an epileptic seizure has been arrested. Good. gently caress this rear end in a top hat.

Good, gently caress that guy. As an epileptic myself, I've come to actively avoid trying to explain it to people because the single most common reaction I've gotten, even in professional work places, is for someone to either load up a flashing gif or to flick the lights on and off and asking "This won't like, freak you out will it?" And while I'm lucky enough that it won't, it could really harm someone who is photosensitive. It's extra fun when people berate me for not showing up, or being late, to work because I had a seizure and ask why I can't "just get over it".

Here's a link that still works, not sure why your's doesn't.

From the official DOJ press release:



quote:

...direct messages from Rivello's [Twitter] account to other Twitter users concerning the victim. Among those direct messages included statements by Rivello including "I hope this sends him into a seizure", "Spammed this at [victim] let's see if he dies" and "I know he has epilepsy". Additional evidence received pursuant to a search warrant showed Rivello's iCloud account contained a screenshot of a Wikipedia page for the victim, which had been altered to show a fake obituary with the date of death listed as Dec. 16, 2016. Rivello's iCloud account also contained screen shots from epilepsy.com with a list of commonly reported epilepsy seizure triggers and from dallasobservor.com discussing the victim's report to the Dallas Police Department and his attempt to identify the Twitter user

Rivello's going for a federally-mandated vacation, and from the sound of it it couldn't happen to a nicer guy. Someone please find a mugshot of him so that the image in my head can turn out to exactly match what he really looks like.

edit:

quote:

Public records show Rivello's most recent address as a home owned by his parents in southeastern Maryland

Yep, he's looking more and more like I thought he would by the second.

Literally last time I had a seizure, after being forced to work late night shifts followed by extra early shifts for days on end getting like, 3 hours of sleep each day. I straight up could not get to my feet and get off the floor. my boss chewed me out the next day for not giving her 3 weeks notice that I wasn't going to show up.

I thought to native speakers, the usage has an element of the misfortune being deserved and that's how I use it. Otherwise it's just sadism, right? It's the difference between enjoying drivers failing to fit under a bridge or enjoying a snuff film.

Unless I'm super wrong somewhere. Dictionary definitions seems too literal and don't have the unwritten how-it's-used-by-Germans thing. I don't know. The dude in red shorts shouldn't have swung so wide with those fists.

Sadism is getting (sexual) pleasure from hurting other people. Schadenfreude is just getting pleasure from watching someone else get hurt/get their comeuppance.

It really comes down to prescriptivism vs descriptivism. The former is trying to define language as it should be spoken, the latter is trying to define language as it is spoken. Both er fluid concepts, so neither can ever fully encompass a language (although I guess if you're one single person writing one dictionary and constantly revising it to refine the meanings of words whose meanings change while you write later words). I guess which side of the fence I'm on is obvious.

Schadenfreude literally is just harm-joy. In Danish we say skadefryd (soft d, like th in the), and fryd by itself has become archaic in any other sense than "haha owned". Like that kid you hate falls down. That's "fryd" as hell. But we also say "skadefro" which is an adjective for someone who likes when others gets hurt. Not a sadist who likes causing hurt, but one who likes when others get hurt.

In German, and in this thread too, there's also that element of just desserts/instant karma, other times it's just funny to see a person falling down, whatever. All these meanings have changed and changed and will keep changing.

I think currently this thread is leaning towards the just desserts kind of schadenfreude, and if ze Germans do too, maybe the next Wörterbuch will have that as its first definition.
