Broke my tailbone when I was 14 due to my sister hitting the back of my sled with hers, causing me to spin out and go ass-first against a tree. Some of the worst pain of my life, and it wasn't until my late 20s when I could sit on hard surfaces without pain jolting up my back again.

We did some dangerous crap when we were growing up in the mountains. Looking back, I'm honestly surprised the broken tailbone was the worst injury any of us sustained with all the stunts we pulled. I can comprehend the teens thinking that this was going to be a fun experiment --it's awful it ended this way for them.

I agree there at least. Russian warcrimes are happening RIGHT NOW so of course they're the primary concern. But the US are pushing themselves as a white knight in this situation so it's important not to forget their crimes just because there's something more current.

Comedy doesn't discriminate. Gilbert Gottfried did a 9/11 joke two weeks later.

Yeah, some jokes are dark and it's a way for some to cope with horrible things in life. Only by making it something we can laugh about does it become something not so overwhelmingly bad that you can process a bit of it little by little. Can't do something about something you're too afraid to deal with.
