As such, there's one death to mourn and like four to actively celebrate.
No death should be actively celebrated, imo. No matter who they were, or what they've done, they were people. Every single human being that has ever existed, or will ever exist, deserves at least the same level of baseline respect. And for me, that includes not celebrating their death.
I'm not telling other people not to feel the way they do, to be clear here. Emotions are individual, and no emotion is inherently wrong to feel. I just want people to leave me out of that celebration, and not assume I feel the same way they do.
(I realize that I started this thread here, so obviously not talking about you in particular. More people on the other parts of the internet I visit that don't take "please don't have this conversation with me" as a valid response to a topic I dislike)
As someone that strongly prefers working in an office, this makes me sad. I do my best work when I’m surrounded by other people doing the same kind of work as me. Coworking spaces and body doubling on Discord don’t work the same (and one of those is $300-$400 a month to boot). I realize I can’t make my coworkers come in. But god damn do I wish they had any desire to work in person. I haven’t seen most of them in person in 3 years, and half of them are within walking distance of the office!
