A couple times, I've posted first-world stuff if only to lighten the mood and not have that place be a depressing cesspool of negative emotions. But yeah, the current problems demand sympathy, not Shawn and Gus. :/
There was a tumblr post that said something to the effect of "There should be an 'I feel your pain' button. The 'like' button just makes it feel like I'm glad you're in pain."
