      If only there were some world-wide interconnected network of computers full of more information than you could possibly imagine, all of it searchable instantly where you could find out who Matthew Perry was.

      Alas…

        I remember the world pre-pocket (or home) internet. We thought access to information was the core issue of people being ignorant/misinformed/stupid, surely instant access to world libraries with all the cumulated human knowledge would alleviate that.

        We were wrong.

      You do realize you have the option not to reply to posts that aren’t relevant to you, right?

        Yeah, but why should we care about this guy when people die from drugs all the time?

              Because you wrote to me directly, as opposed to the person that posted the article. Also, it’s entertaining me that you’re desperately hoping someone says what he’s well known for so you can say you don’t waste your time with pop culture garbage

                Lol, nice projection.

                I’m guessing you like this guy and get mad when someone doesn’t know who he is.

      Disregarding all the other stuff, the reports say he was being treated with ketamine for anxiety and depression. He had decades of mental health struggles.

      No matter who the person is, he was still a person.
