Any clue what it means? Google Translate absolutely fails on it for me.

I predict that it will either be Trump or Kamala... or someone else. So there, one just did.:-) 🙉

Guy walks into a funeral, and says to all the people inside: "But seriously, why so glum? You gotta learn to LIVE A LITTLE, hey? 😜"

i.e., I have no problem with people outside of the situation not being as sad as we who are, but I also don't enjoy my face being rubbed into the fact that I cannot simply turn it off as easily - that's a privilege that not everyone has.

But I suppose this is your chance to convince me: why should I, at a funeral, not be sad?

To be clear, it is fully inclusive of lady-balls as well:-).

The person you responded to literally said "ignore all those things without it mattering", citing how it does, in fact, matter to some people.

If OP wants to unplug, fine, but as the saying goes, this isn't an airport - you don't need to announce your departure, or in this case, filtering of such posts.

By making this post, OP has upped the ante, in a potentially insensitive manner, whereupon their privileged status (presumably white and if not well-off then at least not very poor - or possibly not even living in the USA:-P) was brought up as being relevant. At least people are explaining, rather than merely downvoting.

Gratitude is essential to happiness, studies show and also just duh.

And there really is good reason for it - e.g. all the literal wars fought in the past so that we could have such wonders as we do.

Happiness isn't entirely just a choice, but it is partially one. 💞

Oh, and also chocolate, definitely chocolate.

That's how I got almost all of my furniture:-). Granted, I didn't do it in a "next door neighbor" setting, but rather apartment where it's more acceptable. Oh well now you know:-).

Like, almost 100% of all oxygen in the entire universe is in space, rather than Earth:-P.
