Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.
Rules:
-
Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.
-
Respect one another.
-
All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.
-
Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.
Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

I worked a job where I had to tell people they'd lost all their data on a near-daily basis. I gradually became very clinical about it, completely without empathy. Not rude, just: "this is what happened and here's what we can do to fix it."
It took witnessing a surprising act of genuine compassion from a coworker to spark it in me again. I later thanked him and told me he'd saved me; I don't think he fully understood the magnitude of the change he inspired.
That's beautiful.
