I mean like even if someone is for example criminal or scumbag they are still human and hoping for someone to die or make jokes of someone’s loss of life isn’t right. Or does someone think it is justified? I think it’s morally wrong.

    Honestly I do get why it got so much media attention. Media companies exist to make money, to do that they need to get people’s attention. Submarines, especially civilian ones that go deep like this, are rare and unusual things, so this story, while of little practical consequence to most, is very good at getting people’s interest.

      And I hate them for that.

      “News” like that is absolutely worthless information, it’s just used as a tool to place ads. And for some reason people still click on it? I don’t get it. Maybe humans weren’t a good idea.

        My initial reaction to this comment was to assume you meant you hated the human for falling for the distraction. I was worried at the generalized dehumanization in general, and how difficult that might make meaningful interaction for you in real life.

        But the more I thought about it, the more I thought that hating the news corp and it’s almost parasitic need to feed on human attention in order to make money wasn’t just what you intended, but an interesting way of looking at it. I’ve had that thought before but never in a conscious way. So thank you for moving that idea into a place where I can more readily interact with it.
