Yeah, and seeing the lowest bottoms of the human existence every time you scroll your newsfeed doesn't make you more sensitive to it, it numbs you to it.

This comic is sad in the way that the Fry's dog episode is sad. It's devastating the first time you see it but the more you think about it the more you realize that there was/is no other message, they're just saying death really sucks, and yeah it does, but that doesn't mean it's healthy to relive it over and over and over.
