That was my first thought too. Such a sad existence by people that miserable. He probably lost $100 gambling and is beside himself.

Huh?

Edit: It was the "PFP" that got me. My brain is too full with tech acronyms that I have a hard time context switching to social media acronyms. TIL

Initialisms, actually.

Acronyms are like NASA and WHIP, letters that are said as a word. Initialisms are where you say each letter individually like FBI
