Nothing like a timely reminder of why one hates the world with a vengeance

Fucking ghouls.

Pretty sickening shit altogether. I don't find people live streaming a funeral to be bad.

[mickO)))]

Streaming funeral masses is very common especially since the pandemic it is offered now by most churches. Just as you would have local people who didn't know a family show up in person to a funeral people on the other side of the country would feel like they are paying their respects by watching it. It is probably a common thing among older people.

[Snare]

I get the reasons for streaming. What I failed to properly explain was the perverse people out there with no connections to the extended family who would be compelled to watch this deeply traumatic and private event.

Recent books of condolences online that I have seen for relatives would have people commenting even though they had no knowledge whatsoever of the person or extended families involved. They wouldn't even be from the same province.

For some there's a perverse reason to feel involved somehow. They're the people I shake my head about wanting to be "involved" in such a high profile tradegy. It's like funeral porn for some people.

A chap I know was talking to me about whatever was the latest local tragedy at the time and was explaining to me who the chap was, who he knew etc and I couldn't place him at all despite the lad telling me where he worked and more such tidbits.

Anyhow, evening of the wake I'm outside the front door having a smoke and up pulls the lad in his van.

Well, I says..

Well, says me man... I was just at that wake he tells me..

So I ask was it a big event or what, making small talk..

And yer man comes back with

God 'twas.. massive crowd.. and do you know what, now that I got a look at him I did know him to see him

Jesus, he actually put someone away?

[The Butcher]

Stomping his head on the ground is attempted murder to me. He'll be out in less than 3 years as well - Nolan is sure doing his bit to build a low trust society.

[Mower Liberation Front]

Every time I see this thread bumped, my first thought is, what has Nolan gone and done now? 

[Skott Furys jizz rag]

You'd think being an ex Garda himself he would understand how demoralising it is for AGS to see the sentences he hands out

Suspended sentences for serious assaults and posession of child porn, yet if you have the audacity to put a roof over your head...
