Sense of humor that arises from stressful, traumatic or life-threatening situations where death seems to be an inevitability. Different from black humor in that comments of this sort are made by the person/persons affected (i.e. about to die).
Emissary: We will block out the sun with our arrows.
Spartan (gallows humor here): Then we will fight in the shade.
while I agree that our situation is critical. We NEED some humor to stay sane and in control. There are many of us with anxiety levels off the charts or in my case as I'm sure many MANY others... CHOMPIN and the bit to get this party started.
yeah... I do agree with that analogy, and see your point of view there. I just know we have to have some humor. There are so many here, that are NOT looking / reading previous post's and the incentive for updoots makes some just repost for that reason. |c:
Joking is coping. Not everyone copes the same way, but for some people it helps them to take heart and to hold the line, which is what we need right now. The situation is no joke, but a little levity keeps us feeling alive.
It’s called sliding. Can’t have much discourse about important things if all the posts are LOLZ BLUMPF BANNED FROM JOES CRAB SHACK! Whatever effort began in humor has now been co-opted to gum up the boards.
Gallows Humor

"First time?"
We need humor now more than ever.
ok
It wouldnt be so bad if they added shitpost flairs so we knew they were exactly that and not something possibly true.
Sounds good.
Actually I think people need to laugh a little and besides....we are winning.

I would agree if the posts were actually funny and if there weren't a hundred of them spamming the board.

I come for the game but stay for the party.
There is also not a fucking thing we can do about it. Would you rather them see us whining and crying.... or laughing at their idiocy?
But they're not even funny, they're just spamming for upvotes.
I don't know, but it's fucking stupid. It wasn't funny to begin with, now it's just cringe.
That ability to laugh is why we can meme.
This place has always been a place of memes.... Memes are one of the very top things that got Trump elected in the first place.
This place is not going to suddenly change the way it's always been just because you tell it to.......
How are they Memes?

Pretty much how I feel.
Yes, several people here have undoubtedly noticed. I’m just waiting for the bulk to figure out this place is also compromised in some way.
Ridicule = big power. It is known. They are trying to make MEMEs illegal for a reason.
