Same. Her posts on depression were not only funny, but also spoke to me on a visceral level. This was a person who not only had depression, but wrote about it in a way that absolutely described what it was like.

Isn't she supposed to have another book out this year?

She has another book listed as being released "TBA", Solutions and Other Problems. Her sister was killed at the end of 2013 - her car was hit by a train, it was treated as an accident but Allie refers to it as a suicide.

A lot of story alteration like that happens up here and it needs to stop. "Couple in their 50's died of firearms injury in their home. No suspects are being sought." :thunk: Just report what actually happened and maybe we can actually have a conversation on mental wellness and start to make a dent on poo poo like that.

I dunno if that's the best idea. IIRC, isn't there a phenomena of copycat suicides where if a suicide is reported in the news, others contemplating the decision will be encouraged to follow suit. Some people were speculating there was a connection between Kate Spade and Antony Bordain. I'm sure part of the coy language is to reduce further suicides, not pretend they're not happening.

nah, the edgy sesame street memes never had a setup or punchline or joke, they just tried to recontextualize screenshots in the edgelordiest possible way. The humor was supposed to come from "ha ha, these muppets don't actually rape or murder or have Vietnam-induced PTSD but the caption makes it sound like they do, oh my sides"

The staring tom memes have a pattern of the setup line setting certain expectations, then the punchline subverting them in some (usually funny) way. Sometimes it's edgy sometimes not, but crucially they're usually funny, or at the very least they have the pattern of a joke, something the sesame street memes never did.

Staring Tom owns. And I'll take a large Oreo blizzard with extra Oreo please.

Staring Tom isn't the greatest meme ever, but it's better than the Sesame Street edgelord thing, come on. I'm disappointed in you, Beobeobeo.

For a second my brain parsed this as "A Modest Proposal was ignored" and I thought you were trying to imply that the Irish invented memes because we didn't eat their children

Hamster dance itself is just roman graffiti which itself was a reskin of Macedonian dick art.

I don't get "My kids have good grades so give them your Switch?"

Yes, I know a Switch is a video game thingy, but is this based on a meme, news story, youtub video, reddit STDH?

I don't recognise that exact scenario but there's plenty of stories like that.
