I genuinely cannot get my head around how anyone can be so vile. View attachment 30348

Less than 5,000 people a year die from drugs in the UK.
I'll try super hard not to join a world famous boy band, struggle in my personal life and meet a widely publicised tragic ending, oh wise one.This was one hell of a shock
He could have had another 60 years of life and you know what? We could all just disappear tomorrow, anything could happen. And I mean it. Take note
What do you mean?Maybe this is just me but there is something increasingly uncomfortable about the eulogies on social media in recent years. Having the public eye observe a death is harsh enough, especially a case like this one, and the Instagram grief (and the wild demand for it!) feels like it adds to the spotlight rather than creating a space to process.
Cheryl's paragraphs were really poignant and well-written though.
Yes, I thought she was absolutely on point as well as being both dignified and genuine.Cheryl's paragraphs were really poignant and well-written though.

Truly unhinged tweets and behaviour keep cropping up on my timeline
I do not get it. Some people truly do not live on the same planet.Jesus… how do people write this stuff and not think ‘how will it sound????’
People are a bit weird like that. When Mark E Smith died, I had messages from people checking in on me and my now-dead Facebook had quite a few "you were the first person I thought of" remarks. I mean, bless them all but I wouldn't have turned that into a post about myself.I'm more offended by people who had nothing to do with him. I've seen quite a few "Everyone's been checking in on me to see if I'm OK" posts from fans...SHUT UP MAKING IT ABOUT YOU.

Actually ASKING for sympathy?! That does not come from a sincere place. It is narcissistic behaviour.But people posing with their merch and asking for sympathy is weirding me out.
It sounds like a euphemism, too. If Kirstie let on that she'd let Phil sample her truffle mustard I'd 100% think he'd had a go on her.Truffle mustard sounds genuinely VILE as well.
It’s easier to empathise when you know more about them than a complete stranger. But any child losing a parent who loves them, particularly in this grim way is just tragic regardless of that. Shrugging it off as a “waste of space” is kind of psychotic.One of my other friends made a comment the other day and I didn't really know how to respond, because I guess she's right.
She said with celebrity deaths, we always say how awful it is and how sorry we feel for them. But had Liam been a regular guy, with a kid, with a drug problem, who died potentially because of drugs, would we show this amount of sorrow and sympathy? Or would a lot of people say what a waste of space he was, how could he do drugs when he's got kids etc.
And I guess she's right. I do know people on the island that have died because of drugs and people are brutal about them. (Not me, I feel for anyone who has an addiction problem, but many people don't understand it).

Unfortunately I've heard comments from people very similar to "waste of space", about drug/alcohol addicts. A very good friend of mine is a recovering alcoholic, and the comments she's had have been awful.It’s easier to empathise when you know more about them than a complete stranger.

Those people are cunts. It's quite simple.Unfortunately I've heard comments from people very similar to "waste of space", about drug/alcohol addicts. A very good friend of mine is a recovering alcoholic, and the comments she's had have been awful.
But yes, I suppose when you know a lot about a celebrity it's easier to empathise.
I think it probably needs a little from one side and a little from the other. The thing about that last Snapchat video is that there were absolutely glaring signs that Liam probably wasn't a particularly nice person to live with - and by his own account, was quite bossy and aggy when it came to the band. When that went all the way around and became vulnerability he probably turned a lot of that in on himself. It's a hard circle and it's a shame he never found his way to a point of ease and calm within himself. The reason the 2020 BBC letter to himself video is so haunting is because he so clearly didn't quite believe a lot of it.One of my other friends made a comment the other day and I didn't really know how to respond, because I guess she's right.

What Snapchat video? The one from last week in Argentina?The thing about that last Snapchat video is that there were absolutely glaring signs that Liam probably wasn't a particularly nice person to live with
Yeah. There was quite an offputting controlling edge to him lecturing his girlfriend about leaving a hat on the table. It can't have been a particularly pleasant experience to live with someone scolding you over very small things and filming it as a measure of power.What Snapchat video? The one from last week in Argentina?
Was it a single? I stopped following their career after about the first 18 months.Night Changes is #16 in the first chart update, followed by Story of My Life at #21.
What Makes You Beautiful is #47.
Not the song I'd expect to be out in front.
