    feel a certain baseline empathy for these ppl,

    That's all my comment was, saying that my first emotional reaction to the news was empathy. Ig my bad for not expounding all of my thoughts on the topic (which you did do, and thanks for taking the time), which left some people to fill in the blanks. For example, I didn't mention my second emotional response, which was "LMAO"

      Ya I getchu homie, & my pleasure. Chachat is better than most social media but it can still be hard to explore nuance or contradiction in internet discourses and there's a certain amount of kneejerk debate mentality baked into this whole internet thing we've got goin that can be hard to shake.
