I’ll note that heat stroke victims in Phoenix are more likely to survive this year than in the past due to ambulances stocking body bags full of ice.

So dramatic. There’s a difference between shadenfreude and celebrating death.

Ah yes “they deserved it, good” = Shadenfreude, not totally being an asshole without empathy. Time to go to a local oncology center and shadefreude conservatives with cancer, huh?

You need to learn about nuance. Thanks for letting us know that shadenfreude is bad, karma is bad, fuck around and find out is also bad, do stupid stuff and win stupid prizes is bad, irony, also bad, leopards eating faces, beleive it or not, bad. Let’s all pour one out for aggressive drivers getting speeding tickets, all the bullies out there who got punched back, and anytime justice is a served while we’re at it. If someone displays any emotion besides unbridled empathy for adults inflicting misery on themselves in all situation, bad!

Way to go with the slippery slope fallacy huh, buddy. First of all - you shouldn’t feel satisfaction when someone gets hurt. No matter if they are speeding, if they were overeating or if they smoked.

Let’s also not call this “any emotion”. This is “feeling satisfaction because of others surffering”.
