Reply to comment by drewhead118 in Roald Dahl threatened publisher with ‘enormous crocodile’ if they changed his words by Mighty_L_LORT
Ronald Dahl said he’d be a bit disappointed if they changed his words ate a bit of ice cream and sang happy songs.
Disappointment makes people sad and words make them feel dumb. Please enjoy the revised language that says pretty much the same thing but happier.

Fun fact: Tommy James and the Shondells had back to back #1 hits in the 80s with this song covered by Tiffany and “Mony Mony” covered by Billy Idol.

The sport of Ultimate (often called ultimate frisbee) pointedly uses competitors’ discs because Wham-O’s Frisbees are crap. They can’t even make a plastic plate.

My understanding of schadenfreude has always been a more general idea of pleasure in misfortune of unknown others. Like seeing a passerby trip and fall, I equate it with a brief respite from self-pity. Trump causing so much harm from anti-vax messaging and then getting sick is more like direct “just desserts”. When a bully goes around punching people and finally gets punched back, is that schadenfreude or just that specific guy getting what he deserves?
