Turned out her opening gambit when she got to relatives had been to say, "God, I'm sure we could all do with a stiff drink right about now!"

Apparently, the family just stared back at her with open-mouthed incredulity. So, you know, these things do happen,& Sarah was a good nurse.

In other words, her crime was not expressing the right feefees at the time. Wuff. People are gonna be in for a ride once AIs rule our lives.

I think suggesting mum & dad have large drink after their daughter dies of alcoholism is slightly more than "not expressing right feefees"!

Isn't it exactly that? Temporarily tabooing an otherwise ok (if not actually preferred) activity bc someone else took it too far?

Here's a tip for you. If somebody's child dies after choking on a donut, don't bring them a giant box of donuts as a condolence gift!

I get why it is considered inappropriate. But as said, I see it as a purely emotional response, not a rational one.

No, hang on, it's inappropriate because it's utterly predictable that there will be an emotional response. It's not irrational...
