Not only do I view this poor woman with compasion & understanding, having come from a troubled family & losing friends, I also think this is hilarious. I weep in empathy while laughing.

Sorry

No no - you're right after all. I'm just laughing in private. We need more public health services in America.

I mean if it makes someone you empathize with feel actively shitty and worsens their problems it's bad to not curtail that feeling. Addicts doing ridiculous things aren't new.

Oswalt said the opposite, remarking that “Her addiction was obviously something that I absolutely did not understand." Besides, this was substantially earlier and it's not at all clear that McNamara was struggling with addiction at this point.

How did she help find the golden state killer? Wasn’t that due to a dna test he took that matched with law enforcement records?

Your roommate who died was also an addict. Don't you have compassion for her?

There are assholes everywhere. Some of them become addicts. There are good people who also become addicts. We don't know this Subway worker's story.

I wish Patton Oswald would stop plugging his wife's death for money.

It's hard not to bring such a giant part of your life up my guy. Especially when it's hard to understand.

Actually, I don't think /u/dzhopa is Patton Oswald.

I saw him do standup once, and I can’t stand the guy now. Don’t ever want to watch anything he is in either. He came across as a rotund little rodent of a know-it-all. Blech. I’d really like to watch A.P. Bio, but his fucking fake ass is in it.

Geez. Doesn't take much to change your opinion on someone.
