In the wake of the killing, widespread public animosity towards health insurers ― and UnitedHealthcare specifically ― may explain why the company quickly limited who could comment on their tribute to Thompson.

Still, people still found a way to express how they felt ― to the tune of more than 90,000 laughing reactions as of Friday.

    No one knows it. Someone made a comment and now people are arguing over whether or not someone would push a button over another.

    If presented both emojis, I would’ve chosen shrugged over laugh because I honestly don’t care.

    I was just setting the record straight about definitions because Felix said shrugging is not apathy when it actually is via a definition of “a state of indifference or lack of interest, emotion, or concern about something.”

      Right well we certainly agree on the definition. I was just pointing out how dumb it is that it spawned a thread. But I’m obviously at least half responsible for that aspect

        Haha! True, true. It’s the internet though. If someone posts something, it will most assuredly be argued by someone else. Is there a rule for this? I feel like there should be a rule for this.

          Yeah. There definitely should be such a rule/law, if there isn’t. Reminds me of the recent post that said “wikipedia rebuilt the library of Alexandria powered solely by nerds’ need to correct each other”
