We should create a “LostLemmings” community.
I’m gonna be honest, I think the “someone I don’t like had something bad happen” stories being posted here are getting tired. We get it, celebrities suck. But I subscribed to this community because I want actual uplifting news, not snarky posts that would be better-suited to a comment in the original thread.
I totally agree. Go hate somewhere else, we have more than enough communities for that. If you find that uplifting, get a shrink. This community needs rules and moderators.
It’s amazing how many people think people like you need a shrink.
Are you by any chance a privileged person that does not yet feel the hell our planet is slowly becoming?
I am a privileged person who was taught how to read. For instance, this community is
a dedicated space where optimism and positivity converge to bring you the most heartening and inspiring stories from around the world. We strive to curate and share content that lights up your day, invigorates your spirit, and inspires you to spread positivity in your own way.
As I said, this isn’t heartening or inspiring, even for you. The issue is that hate will not fix the problems that bother you, so if you want to take the higher moral ground, do something useful about it. Spreading hate toward certain groups of people only makes you hateful and miserable.
I get it, short thoughts and lack of nuance get you fast upvotes but you’re describing something that is not happening.
Watching peak privileged and people uncritical of the disgusting system fail is not hate. The neoliberalist view of “hate” towards the rich and powerful who are actively starving the rest is deluded. Science is on our side and class warfare is legitimate.
Maybe read a book some time.

Sir, this is a
Wendy’s/c/UpliftingNews. Not every single space on the Internet has to be a fucking social warzone.I didnt start. Maybe just downvote stuff if you dont like it and stop pointing at people woth stuff you yourself are doing.
Bro just shut the fuck up already, this isn’t the place.
Feeling the hell the planet is becoming doesn’t mean feeling pleasure at the (near) deaths of people.
Nice strawman. Nobody died, not even nearly. People think its funny that the people propping up final stage capitalism are falling on their face. You can of course screech about it but it will not change the fact.
Nobody’s screeching. I wanted to point out that not feeling joy at a potentially fatal misfortune has nothing to do with privilege, which is what I understood your comment to imply.
You’re right, nobody died this time. Good news I guess.
Okay. In that case, let me point it out to you.
The sick and gruesome capitalist system kills an insane number of people every day.
The capitalist system in its current form is nothing but feudalism.
The young people who praise money and their feudal lords are active participants of this authoritarian rule. They actively participate in prolonging this sick game and therefore are guilty of the harm it does.
The fact that they charter yachts, one of the most sick and insane ways to show off wealth while people are dying around them is disgusting.
It is therefore more than understandable that, in this case where nobody died, some people will see this as a positive message.
I get all that, but I don’t understand how privilege comes into it.
You’re describing schadenfreude, which I’m not expressing any judgement on. But it’s reasonable for people, including myself, to not find schadenfreude uplifting and to question if an Uplifting News community is the right place for it.
It is therefore more than understandable that, in this case where nobody died, some people will see this as a positive message.
If it requires this many paragraphs of mental gymnastics to explain, maybe it’s not as uplifting as you think is is. Nobody else here seems to be as insistently obtuse on this issue as you.
I agree. I’m subscribed to these communities to try to help my mental state, and these kinds of posts just fuel spite and hatred which I think only makes me worse in reality.
How is this uplifting news? It says nearly. 🙃
Well, they were able to lift it back up.
had 32 people on board … featuring a seating capacity of 12 … the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission is investigating the cause of the incident
🤔
They don’t mean they don’t know, they’re just saying whose job it is to report to insurance.
Revised headline: “32 sales people did not die on a $4M sinking boat that was over capacity by 20 people.”
So close!
So … hot air doesn’t float … that’s a thesis right there.
