Well I'm sorry that you and others lack the small amount of empathy it takes to have the tact to not make fun of someone who literally just killed themselves.
But silly me, suicide his hilarious, do continue. I'm sure whatever he did was totally deserving of death and his wife and four kids will see the funny side. And if they don't, fuck their feelings.

Sorry everyone, it’s this dude’s first day on the internet. He’ll get it eventually.
Yes, being on the internet totally excuses a lack of empathy and a tacit approval of suicide during a time of year where depression is at a height. Because there's nothing someone on the edge needs more right now than to see a bunch of people mocking someone who just died, confirming to them how worthless human life is and how no one will miss them either. Ask me how I know this, go ahead.

Yeah, I remember back in the day, when the internet was free. It was lawless, but there were so many great things to see too.
Then a bunch of pussies noticed all the fun we were having, and they gave away all that freedom to the governments and corpos, asking them to build in blocking features and filtering horseshit, so that they didn’t accidentally see an image or idea that they didn’t already have predefined in their head.
Just completely destroyed something that was once so beautifully free, just because they were too much an imbecile and coward to face different ideas.
Sad really.

Don't be a jackass, suck it up.
Sorry, I will continue to "be a jackass" and say that suicide is a bad thing and should not be encouraged.

Sure, dude. Sure.
I'll just quote what I said to the other person:
