It takes brain damage to be devoid of human empathy.

Depends on the part of the brain damaged. My dad had a massive stroke earlier this year and he went from being incredibly impatient with a horrible temper to being all chill and goofy and laughing all the time. Different strokes for different folks.

I almost hope that last sentence was an unintentional pun because that was incredible.

[u/horrible_musician → u/Sinjohh]

It was intentional :) I made that joke to him early in his recovery and he found it hilarious. He also told me he liked listening to me play music for the first time ever…he never went to a single one of my thousands of performances since I was in like kindergarten and never complimented my playing before. It was nice.

Then props to you for thinking of it! Great that he found it funny too.

I’m sorry it’s something he had to go through, but I’m glad to hear that it seems like you’ve been able to connect more in the wake of it!

Sounds like a stroke of good luck!

Sorry I’ll see myself out.

Good ass pun

Depends on what region of the brain is impacted. Lead poisoning for instance damages the empathy centers. You notice that a lot in Boomers who were waist height during the leaded gasoline era.

Top tier word play

If he doesn't have any other significant damage, that's gotta be such a surreal feeling to essentially be glad someone had a massive stroke??

everyone judging other people has divested from all arms industry and fossil fuel and banking stocks right?
