Making up jokes about whatever the upsetting situation is.
This works well.
I love mocking billionaires in my YT videos, in part, because it is in fact cathartic.
One of my favorite jokes of all time is “that’ll frac.” (Used to be in the oilfield) but saying it after something has failed catastrophically. Like a 2500 HP throwing a rod, or hoses exploding. I wish I could employ that strategy inwardly.
