I like my humor to be very dark sometimes....

This is an interesting subject. I can't think of an example of 'dark humour'. But what I find 'dark' are the posting memes, gifs that include bad, natural human condition, something that cannot be helped, a desperate situation as humour. Stuff includes handicapped people, people with some different natural physical trait, a bad accident... The thing is, it is not actually an emotional response. It's not. (I've been told that many times, lol.) I find it stupid. And I mean awful, genuine stupidity at that. Because it is something that cannot be changed, intervened or worked for. Nobody has/can have an effect on it. Does that make any sense?

I think, almost nothing is just a stand alone 'product' to me in this sense though. Somebody made/wrote that -whatever it is- and the person who made it in there with the person who posted it, along with me. It's a conversation between multiple entities in some situation.

For example, when GSO posts something like that -above the dark humour post- I automatically think/see it with him thinking/feeling the meme in some spatial sense, like sitting at at table with his husband somewhere back in the scene. I automatically see/think of Hydra watching Ceasar in the party with the assassin, looking back and forth between them and then turn his head in a bady way not to look and disappear from the scene. Cassia's feels like she puts fixed postits between some busy work, coming and going without spending much time. This is not something fixed about people and changes all the time of course. Sometimes it's very vivid, sometimes very vague or nonexistent. It's about the 'geist' that person reflects periods in general I guess. It constantly changes. It's about the general experience of them.

Pretty accurate. When posted that I was at the kitchen counter with my Surface tablet while my husband prepared dinner.

We used to tell dirty jokes, relay unlikely situations (usually involving your mother) and ... altered ... lyrics to popular songs. The alternative was to go completely sane and kill ourselves.

Well, that's dark.

Not that hard to ask a judge to correct an error.

They can start to pronounce it in a different way and pretend it is a long forgotten, exotic name...lol. Like 'Khornn'. The sound is nice.

It won’t be long until interpretation is wide open.....”Is your name Korn”?

Let's hope the error wasn't the baby's name was supposed to be spelled "Corn".

Trust me, that's mild in comparison to some of the names I've seen, some of which I think should be the basis of an emotional abuse investigation by our agency.  Get a fucking Cabbage Patch Kid if you want to name a kid something "cute" or "funny", and give your child a sane name that they don't have to adopt a nickname to get around.

I believe all people should be allowed one free legal name change between the ages of 18 and 21.  Because holy fuck.
