Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.
Rules:
-
Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.
-
Respect one another.
-
All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.
-
Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.
Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

I rarely cry. I didn't even cry all that much when my dad died a few years ago, but I've been doing it more and more since. Maybe I needed some time for my emotions to loosen from their moorings. Odd things can set me off now. I bawled like a baby during Guardians of the Galaxy 3. I was alone, though. Had my wife or someone else been there, I probably would've just sucked it up and pushed it down.
I didn't cry when my father died...but I only ever met him about 5 times in my life so maybe that's got something to do with it.
In fact it was quite funny when I was told. It went a bit like this:
I got a phone call from my much old brother who basically said "Sorry to ruin your holiday but Dad's died".
"Oh shit, how is mum taking it?"
"...Why?"
"Because dad's dieeee...wait. Do you mean our father. Or our stepdad?"
"Father."
"Oh, ha. Nevermind then. Phew. Right I'm going skiing. See you when I get back."
(On a not so funny note our father was a wife and child beating serial cheater. So, ha, still glad he's dead.)
Now when my mum died I was ugly crying and wailing like a starving baby. And I still cry about it a few times a year every year for the last 10 years since she left us...but in private.
