The only positive news our community ever gets on this miserable shithole of an island is that someone who spent their life gleefully immiserating us dies. God forbid we enjoy it a little.

Agreed. I have a handful of people in mind where I will throw a party when they die. One of which is jkr. I might even bake a mold themed cake
