Polenko’s last words were…

Okay, okay, sorry.
A tourist fell more than 170 feet to her death when she stumbled while taking a selfie from a clifftop viewing platform, the latest in a string of such incidents.
39-year-old Inessa Polenko plunged from the panoramic Gagry viewing point in Abkhazia, a breakaway region of Georgia as she tried to take a photo of herself.
Polenko, who was a beautician and a keen Instagram user, climbed over a barrier to reach the clifftop viewing point which overlooks the Black Sea. However, as she climbed over the barrier to take a selfie, Polenko stumbled and fell onto a beach below, according to eyewitnesses.
Not to be callous (I guess it’s too late for that) but isn’t this and the above-linked tragic incidents the very definition of “culling the herd”?

I climbed up a pretty sketchy rock formation once and I did take a photo but not a selfie and I didn’t fall off and die. It was a pretty neato structure it was a really steep ass rocky slope leading into a bit of bouldering to get up to the top where you could see a massive drop on the other side and I could wave to my family on the viewing platform on the other side of the drop and they got a bit freaked out. I didn’t even pretend to fall or anything and they were pretty mad.
Cool story, bro
