    Maybe it because I hang out here amongst the trekkies most often but it really does seem like Sir Stewart’s passing is hitting everyone especially hard

      I’ve seen more about his passing all over the internet than any other celebrity death I can recall for a long time.

    I’ve seen a lot of memes about his passing. This somehow hit me harder.

      All the jokes I’ve seen were fine, but this just hurts.

        While not knowing him directly, they still have a profound influence on our memory and history. His Picard character channels the ideals many of us would like to fulfill for ourselves and humanity at large. A part of us has been cut off.

      • There’s a few people I don’t know who I’ve attached to pretty hard over my life. They are all either very old or very dead. But they all made their mark in who I am as a person.

        Roberta Bondar

        Jane Goodall

        Patrick Stewart

        Ian McKellen

        David Attenborough

        Carl Sagan

        I think when Sir David Attenborough passes, I’m going to cry in a closet for a week like Moira Rose.

    Goddam, very well done. I did not expect to feel this emotional, lol.

    OP did you intend such a poignant message?

      Just to be clear, I did not make this. I don’t want to take credit from whoever came up with this idea and followed through with creating it.

      But no, I genuinely didn’t plan to make a poignant message on a shitposting community. If I knew it would be interpreted as something other than silly nonsense, I would have posted it somewhere else. But seeing the upvotes/downvotes on this, I decided to leave it alone. Anyone can feel free to crosspost this to a more appropriate community, if they want.

      Not that I disagree, just curious about the hierarchy structure.

      While I’m here, I’d like to submit the double Q facepalm.

    You know I was scrolling along not a care in the world and I come across this and now my eyes are wet.

    Thanks man. You sucked the joy out of my soul.
