If the flag is at half mast, and it’s a period of national mourning, is it inappropriate to laugh in public? For example if watching a meme on your phone?
No one gives a fuck
I'm at half mass whenever I see a redhead Stacy 
Well I live in the suburbs filled with older people, I think they give a fuck tbh.
Am I autistic for thinking older people are super patriotic and will shit on me for not being sad in social situations/public.
I’m too autistic, I don’t know how to socialize, I’m retarded. I want to die.
Doesn’t matter
Bro why would anyone think that?
Yeah and what can they do about it? Just tell them to fuck off and move on

However, it can depend on the specific setting. For instance:
- Context matters: If you're in a very somber or symbolic location, like near a memorial or a public service, visibly laughing might feel disrespectful to others around you.
- Awareness of others: If those nearby are mourning or in a reflective mood, it’s good to be mindful of how your actions might be perceived.
- Your intention: Laughing isn’t inherently disrespectful unless it's directed at or dismissive of the event or people being mourned.
