    Sometimes I feel like the discourse around people dying is a little too callous. If we're talking about Kissinger or something then yeah, fuck that guy and I hope he dies. I can even see the humor in this submarine situation, paying all that money to die in the world's sketchiest sub. Pretty ridiculous and easy to see coming.

    I do kinda feel like people get caught up in the moment and start posting without really thinking about it. I'm as guilty as anyone of this. I'd feel pretty lousy if I were one of these guys kids or something though. In the grand scheme of things, losing people like this isn't anywhere near as sad as so, so much of what else is happening in the world. Just wonder if celebrating death to a certain extent is unhealthy though.
