What they are doing to save a small fraction of the world (mostly who are already close to their deathbed) is going to destroy most of the world if it goes on too long.

I said it was funny,till Gramps dies.Then it won’t be,unless of course he was an evil old devil with a large life insurance policy.
Well, there are ways and ways of saying something.
Some people would say what you said with an inherent admonishment imbedded.
I'm glad you aren't one of those.
As I said, the attitude behind what is said is important.
The "trick" is determining that intention.

An example of gallows humor can be seen in the Soviet-era joke in which two Russians debate who is greater, Joseph Stalin or Herbert Hoover. “Hoover taught the Americans not to drink,” says one. “Yes, but Stalin taught the Russians not to eat,” replies the other. Placing a comical spin on dire circumstances that are outside one’s control was an effective coping mechanism long before the Germans named the phenomenon, and continues to serve the oppressed, victimized and suffering today.
I made that point above. (Damn I'm smart!
)But yeah, jesting about a situation you have no control over can be an emotional release.
The TV series "M.A.S.H. incorporated this type of humour.
I guess I was heavily influenced by that show when I was young.

So have I, bigtime.
Life is a biatch,
And then you die.

My tombstone will have the inscription: "Thank god that is over with."

That's my Donald. Suggestion on which way to go next: sequester all the vulnerable people.
Them: "Ezra, we need you to stay indoors and play video games in between spamming WP".
Me: "Thank goodness I don't have to change my routine."

We hope it brings a smile!

I am glad they are seeing it my way. Because I really did not want to have to step in and take over the world. Even temporarily. I already have a lot on my plate with battling the evil forces of Minas Morgul and doing Spring Festival maze runs.
