Correct. Like what the fuck are people supposed to say? Talk about his search history?

It’s nice to say nice things about people who’ve passed away.
Like if someone in their 20s passes away, and you’re at their wake after the funeral, you’re not going to say “well I kind of always just tolerated him but he was never going to amount to much and I didn’t really like him”.

Idk when my brother shot himself I would gladly have told the whole church about the time he was swerving while drunk driving and laughing at me for being scared at like 13 years old or the time he held me over the edge of a cliff. The pastor took me for a walk and let me rant at him instead (great dude actually he was a dead ringer for Fred Rogers in appearance, personality, and profession).

Sure but both you and that pastor clearly understand why saying that to the whole church would not have served any purpose and made you look like an asshole, right?

I thought that was the obvious subtext of the statement but apparently did not adequately account for variations in reading comprehension.

Starting the comment with idk implies that you are starting a counter argument. As in, I don’t know if that’s true…
