    What’s the point of satire if it can’t keep up with how bizarre reality has become?

        I recognize that that type of comment is supposed to be a joke (and I’ll react accordingly, because I’m not a buzzkill), but it absolutely isn’t actually funny (ha-ha) for me.

          Oh definitely. But it’s hard to be funny at all right now. Because “ice murders entire retirement home” is too believable in the same way that “rental cars full of ice agents visit retirement home and does good deeds all day and nothing terrible happens” isn’t.
