Are you missing a chromosome?

What do you actually think would happen here? That a friend would text me within, idk, 1 to 4 hours of his mom dying? I think he’s got bigger problems - calling a funeral home, or just dealing with the grief.

Was he supposed to text me before the body was cold?

Or was I supposed to text him, either hourly or before I say anything else, “Hey, if your mom dead yet?”.

I didn’t go to Instagram LOOKING for this information. But it was there. As this was when the algorithm was new, I had a decade of experience with IG to expect that if there was anything recent, a quick scroll would surface it, but I was also doing the same thing I’d do a couple times a day.

But IG manipulated my feed, ruined the experience and caused an awkward moment.
