Reply to comment by I_like_the_titanic in TIL An American Flag survived the Challenger explosion and was the flag raised at the 2002 Winter Olympics by I_like_the_titanic

Mmmmm the Challenger? I'm not trying to pick apart dark days, but honestly Jan 6 has Challenger beat dollars to donuts when it comes to dark days.

"Two of the darkest days" does not mean "The two darkest days."

They weren't trying to start a pissing contest over which were the top two. Just making a comment about two flags raised at the Olympics 20 years ago.

Pointing out hypocrisy AND getting to read your mopey response? Yeah, I do feel better about myself.

Hmm. Which is darker? One or two LARPers dying during an unusually disruptive demonstration that most of the country laughed at, or the tragic deaths of a whole team of scientists that millions of people looked up to?

It really wasn’t much different than the numerous other times people have stormed sessions of our government. None of them are great, but still.
