It's sorta weird that you lumped my reply in there with Beardfade, since from my perspective we're making totally different points; He that we (the internet) are acting as if the elderly growing old is some unforeseen tragedy, versus mine that lumping deaths together is a coping mechanism that does a disservice to each of the victims as individuals.

If I died, I would not want to be remembered as "another one of those poor saps who got eaten by the 2016 reaper".

So I'm going to do the opposite:

• I don't know much about Carrie Fisher outside of her more famous acting roles, but her performance as Princess Leia was outstanding, and undoubtedly helped inspire women and girls by defying gender stereotypes. That she passed at so relatively young an age is a tragedy, and we will miss her.

For the record, I'm not trying to make an argument or anything. I just want to help nip this "20xx killed so many people" thing in the bud, before it becomes annualized.
