Laughing generously AT you

They lied when they told you that they were laughing with you

Just a friendly reminder, dear reader:

No one is laughing with you.

They are laughing at you.

This is important to emphasize.

People pretend to laugh with people,

But the laughing begins as a laughing at.

Pretend that you were going through a really tough time. Your life has become a blues song. Your dog has left you, wife has died and instead of losing your job, you’re working so much overtime, you’re paying people to spend your money for you.

That’s a lot to pretend.

Don’t worry, dear reader, you can do it.

I’m speaking directly to you.

Also?

Pretend that your name is Zigfreid.

To be clear ‘Zigfreid’, I’m laughing AT you, not WITH YOU.

Why?

Because it’s easy to see just how stupid and ridiculous every human is.

And?

If you’re alive, you’re well enough to have something worth laughing at.

You do weird shit. Other people find that funny.

And for those of you who wince at the thought of being laughed at?

It happens. Get over yourself.

And?

You started it by being such an absurd dumbass.

But if you can see just how idiotic that I find you right now?

Maybe we can share a laugh.

At your expense.

(Of course)

Sadly, your ego is not tax deductible.

But the gift is to start the process of laughing at someone.

In doing so, you’ve said hey weirdo, I cared enough to take the time and notice what a fucking nut job you are.

In reality?

Laughing at someone is an act of generosity.

And risk.

So who can’t you laugh at - yet?

Now imagine them farting O Canada into a microphone.

Now imagine that you’re farting O Canada into a microphone.

And me?

As you can imagine,

I”m laughing at the thought of you farting O Canada, into a microphone.

Well done.

Keep giggling, you fools!
