      some people get through trauma with various flavors of emotive tools, including sarcasm and humor.

        yeah, if they have a mutual emotional connection to the deceased. I don’t think these two ever met.

      I’ve seen interviews with this guy. He had a surprisingly bright outlook on life. I think he would have found this funny.

          Don’t do that shit. Go back to reddit if you can’t understand typos.

            It’s not a typo when its a correctly spelled, but incorrect word. A typo is where you mash keys or type them in the wrong order - a typographical error. Writing the wrong word entirely is an error.
