Your unpopular opinions and creepy admissions

I doubt this is unpopular, but I dislike when everyone who dies is said to have passed away.

I was listening to Sirius/XM and the deejay was talking about how Jim Morrison "passed away" in Paris.

My mother passed away when she died in her sleep at 91. Morrison overdosed and died. Just like people don't pass away in a crash or from being shot.

 

An 18-year-old in my town committed suicide within the last week. The obit said he "died unexpectedly at his home." While an obit doesn't need the gory details, I just shook my head when I read it.

 

Generally speaking, don’t most publications avoid citing suicide as a cause of death unless the deceased was a public figure or the suicide occurred in a public place? I remember having to write around it in an instance where we knew the death was self-inflicted but it didn’t meet either of those conditions.

 

Oh, certainly. It was the whole "died unexpectedly" part. Just say he died. I'm even fine with passed away as a euphemism. I just hate the whole "went to sleep with the angels" or was "called home" or whatever. Kid offed himself. Just say he died.

 

I'm.watching under 12 bowling.

 

If it's a suicide, the person who died expected to die.

 

Matt Gaetz is, too.

 

I have seen this meme so many damn times now for years on end. Surely LeVar Burton must be sneaking up on the outskirts of enough credit by now.

 

I'm very fatigued by all the fighting in the Middle East. Sad for all the innocent lives lost. But, we get it. You all want to wipe each other out. Can we stop acting like it will ever change, ever?

 

Unexpected by everyone else.

 

I honestly only knew him from Star Trek TNG. I grew up on Picture Pages with Cosby though ... so WTF do I know?!

 

I have no idea who Bob Ross was or what made him popular. Apparently he was a fuzzy haired painter.
