I need clarification on why dropping a chemical weapon into the middle of a city filled with innocent people is worse than rounding up innocent people, bringing them to a “holocaust center,” and gassing them there?

This is a silly assertion. Dark humor is only appropriate when in private and directed towards someone whose entire life history you know? It’s not appropriate in public? Does this go for TV and movie writers, journalists and humor writers, comedians, everyone on twitter? I’m actually not opposed to the concept of…

No worries, friend. I’m sorry for what happened to you. I didn’t take your response personally.

Ha, yeah, I’m not super surprised. Not everyone likes gallows humor. But like...why come down here to the comments section? To talk in hushed and serious tones about how fucked this all is? To lament our nation’s continued startling inaction on gun control? To express thoughts and prayers?

Ok

I don’t know who Rob Liefeld is. But I’m also not super interested in debating what type of anonymous internet commenting is worthy of scorn. I will definitely not be told to shut up by some rando who has christened themselves morally superior to me.

What about the people who just move and don’t feel like they need 1000 words to justify it?

While I like to fantasize about having a house, I’m also like, what would I put there? I’ve lived in apartments my entire life and I don’t even know how you accumulate enough stuff for a house.

Why I’m Leaving New York essays are the most annoying pieces of writing to me. It’s a place. Live here or don’t. Literally nobody cares, and your personal decision about whether to live here or not does not make or break the city.
